SIDELINES Wilcox
CAMP CUSTER. PATTI.E CREEK. Mich., Nov. 8
MAJOR GENERAL DKKMAN will review the Eight) Fifth division of
the National army Friday afternoon nt 2 o’clock This will be
the bi*g*M military spectacle In the history of Michigan /Once
Civil «nr days Close to 12,000 men will march before the com
manding general on the huge parade ground that lies opposite division
headquarters, across the Harnionia road Six or seven bands will par
ticipate. All mounted officers have been ordered to ride their horses. All
the formalities will he observed, for the division is now capable of ma
recovering thru a review without embarrassing errors. <liven good weather
and good luck with the horses. the spectacle will be mighty stirring It
Is a fact, however, that certain persons who will be present are cheered
with the possibility that green hors* men and still gTcener steeds will a? lord
hilarious entertainment. The powers that be also realize this possibility,
and It has been expressly announced that the review will be staged for
practice purposes only and will not count In the championship standing
The ability of the Cusfelites to parade in large bodies was amply dem
onstrated W« dnesda> morning, when Brigadier General B. C Morse review.
*d the 189th infantry brigade This brigade Is composed of the 337th In
(antrv. commanded bv C olonel V\ C". Short, the 33S ti infaniiy, commanded
o% c olonel F. L. Wells, and the 329th machine gun battalion, commanded
bv Major 8 f). Maize The parade ground was the same large fl* Id used
fur the sports on liberty Loan day The two regimental bands supplied
the music The 337th regiment led the way, followed by the 338th and the
machine gun battalion Asa matter of fact, two reviews were staged.
General Morse was pleased with the marching of the men in the first round
of the parade ground, but ordered a second review for the sake of the
practice 11 would give the men for Friday's big event The spectacle was
inspiring Nearly 4.000 men were Involved All were nattily uniformed
and armed with rifles. None of the officers were mounted, but the
picturesque chargers were not missed The regiments formed b> battalions,
and at the command, wheeled and marched by companies before the review
ing Officers Having achieved the formalities of solutes b> th*- officers
and eyes right by the men. they broke Into double time, trotted around to
their original positions and formed again bv battalions The sun was
shining at just the right angle to mark every man with n flashing golden
outline For the casual spectator, there were plenfv of thrill*
After all. the really Important feature of the review was the business
like manner in which the men accomplished It. There was no self conscious
strutting Kverv company marched past the general with the easy, swing
Ing stride that marks the real marcher The review required certain drill
maneuvres and certain other things taught In the school of ’h* soldier
men had leam»*d these things pretty well in ♦heir first two monlhs In the
army, and on this formal occasion did credit to their training That * all
there was to It There were no fireworks. The bands didn't even blare.
They Just tooted sturdy ntarrhes The review was truly ( snip Cuaterisque
from start to finish—a typically Camp Fusterlsque thing being done with
precision and thoroness and quite without poppycock
Where the Division Stands
MENTION was made of the fact that not more thnn 12,000 men would
march la Friday’s review of the division That fact emphasizes
the exact position of the Eighty Fifth division In the training
schedule. Aa a matter of fact, this division Is no better prepared
for France than It was two months ago. except in three Important respects.
Two months ago the eompanv commanders were largely without experience
In the training of soldiers and military leadership of any kind I refer to
the reserve officers educated at Ft. Sheridan. These officers now posses*
two months of splendid experience as commanders Two months ago the
Eighty-Fifth division did not exist It now la organized Every company
now possesses a nucleus of about one third Its war strength This nucleus
Is well trained In the schools of the soldirr and squad, and most of these
men are capable enough to art as noncoms in the training of newcomers
The training schedule has been given a trial and will be improved In the
repetition.
Approximated two thirds of the division still Is In civil life. A theo
retical 4f> per rent of the men have been sent her*’* That Is nearly 16.000
men More than 3.000 were sent to the National guard at Waco. Close to
1,800 have been discharged because of physical disability. Several thousand
are aliens, who « annot he legally drafted against their will From 1.000
to 3.000 of these will he dismissed Several hundred more will he discharg
ed thru exemptions of one sort or another. In some of'these cases, oxomp
tlnn claims were not allowed unt-H after the men Involved had been sent
to camp. In other rases, It hat) been discovered that men sent to camp
are too young or too old for registration. Every day division headquarters
gets from the state adjutant general a sheaf of norle* s ordering the relent*
of Custerites who never should have been sent to ramp It I* hardlv too
much to say that the expense Incurred by the government in the handling of
men who should never have been rent to Camp Custer will total n > less

Absolutely Pure
Royal*Baking Powder
is made from Cream of Tartar, derived from Grapes
Mrs. Florence Austin Chase, the lecturer in The Times’ Cooking School, and Domestic
Science teachers and lecturers generally, use Royal Raking Powder because they know it
ran always l>e relied Upon and makes food which to superior in texture, wholesomeness and
keeping quality.
Made from Cream of Tartar,
derived from Grapes
The quality of cake, biscuits and other Hour foods
is very largely determined by the ingredients of the
baking powder with which they are made.
The most eminent scientists and food authorities
arc on record to the effect that a cream of tartar
baking powder is ttie most satisfactory because of
its healthful properties. It leaves no unwholesome
residues in the food'and renders the biscuit and cake
healthful, appetizing and digestible.
NO ALUM
boon made, but winter and ita handicaps la at hand If the Custer division
Is ready for intensive combat training by the first of February, miracles
will have been achieved
Meanwhile the men who are here are plugging ahead. They are getting
ready to go on the rilie range and they are building their aubterranean for
tiflratlons, wherein they will learn the finer points of modem tfarfare.
These men are determined to be veterans in verity when the rookie hordes
descend upon the camp.
Britons Are Here
THE English army instructors have arrived and taken up quarters
with their ’French brethren In the barracks constructed for the
foreign officers. There are three of the British officers and three
noncoms. Each officer is accompanied bv an orderly. The officers
are Major Lavarack and Captains Knight and Taylor. All of them have
! been In the thick of the war ever atnee It started Captain Taylor is a
i former Detroiter, who saw service with Madero In Mexico before his native
England called him to the colors.
Many Custerites enjov a good show. If has been Impossible for them
to remain at the theaters for the last act of performances because all
evening passes to town have required an 11 o'clock return. The com
manding general has remedied this Inconvenience by permitting captains
to issue passes that do not require a return to the camp until after the
theater. These permissions will be issued frequently to men who have
shown a tendency not to Impose upon unusual privileges.
Custer soldiers are forbidden to march across farms not Included In
! the military reservation Company commanders are required to post In
eompanv barracks plain maps of the reservation, so that men cannot alibi
by claims of innocent trespass. All hiking beyond the confines of the
j cantonment must stick to public highways.
Medical officers have been ordered to school. Starting at 7 o’clock
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, lyceums will be conducted
.it the base hospital. On a fourth night each week, a clinic will be held
Detroiters Go Higher /
DETROIT men continue to win promotion In the National army. MAre
members of the 329th field artillery have been selected as leaders
of soldiers. In Dntterv p. Corporals Harold J. Hall and Edward
Seager hhve been made sergeants. In Battery A. Corporals Charles
C. Ashbaugh, Charles F. Hack us, Jr . and Hartzel F Ahrens hav e been

R Cooper Colin C Frazier. Roy D. St Clair and Elmer E Ellis have been
promoted to be corporals In Ilattery K, Privates Jasper Mcßride and Fred
II Stekckluh have been named as corporals.
Plans for one of the finest gymnasiums In the middle west have been
approved by Major General Pirkman The estimating department now has
them and Jn n short time bid* for construction will he received. If the
bids are too high. It is very likely that the soldiers will be permitted to
build their own gam The structure will be 226 bv 111 feet The usual
college equipment of running track and athletic paraphernalia will he
Installed and the plans call for a swimming pool 71 b> 23 feet Added
features will he Indoor D-nnls and fencing courts and pistol and bombing
galleries The equipment will be on a scale required for a camp In which
will reside 3 a .000 athletic young men The structure will cost f 23.000. which
ha" been raised by private subscription. Floyd E Rowe, athletic director
for the camp and former University of Michigan director of Intramural
sports, has done mors than anybody else to secure this splendid gymnasium
for Camp Custer.
A quarter mile hike down the middle of a Custer sector Wednesday
revealed ambulance squads lenrnir.g how to hoist sorely wounded men over
fences, ammunition train companies popping awav at a hillside target
with .22 automatic rifles and artillery squads taking a roadside boxing
lesson.
