V-'" .. A THIS PAPER issued in Two Sections. Section One—Pages 1 to 8. VOL. 52 ADDRESS LETTERS AND PACKAGES Relatives and Friends Should Know How to Address Mail to the Boys at Camp Dodge. SECOND DRAFT IS NEXT SPRING Opinion of Army Officers—Every Available Camp Now Filled— May Amend the Law. It will only be a few weeks before Crawford county's quo« a of 123 men to the national army will be in train ing at Camp Dodge, located at Des Moines, and with the time drawing near fond parents, sisters and sweet hearts are wondering how to address letters and packages to the man In camp. Of course it will be some task to handle the mail for 45,000 men who will be located at Camp Dodge without unnecessary delay and in order to accomplish the task instruc tions have been isssued by the Des Moines postofllce. The instructions given out are as follows: "All men selected for service in this state who are ordered to report at Cainp Dodge cantonment Des Moines, la., should observe the fol lowing regarding their mail: "If you know in advance the com pany and regiment you are assigned to, you should inform all interested to address your mail as per this sam pie: "Private John Jones, "A Company, First. Infantry, "Camp Dodge, la. "If you do not know in advance to what company and regiment you will be assigned, have your mail addressed as per this sample: "Private John Jones, "Of Minnesota, Camp Dodge, la. "Those from Iowa, Illinois or North Dakota insert their state instead of Minnesota. "When all troops are organized the mail will be distributed direct to his company and regiment. Until then the mail will be separated into the SS states the men are from and delivered ,,ift state sectl°n." Cr*wford county men who are snb iect-to draft aiid whose numbers were 'mi in the first four hundred be interested to know that there will be no second draft for the nat ional army before nest spring. This is the opinion of army officers and was made public last week. Every available camp site will be crowded by the G87.000 men called in the first draft, and training and trans portation facilities, they believe, will not permit of the army using any ad ditional force of men within the next six months. Gen. Crowder said the subject of a secand draft had never been taken up at any conference at which he t. had been present. Gen. Cowder is understood to be repairing a com plete report on the draft and making recommendations for possible future drafts. May Amend Law.. The general belief, moreover, that the shortcomings of the first draft, which cannot be ascertained entirely until after the mobilization and the first period of training, may make it necessary to amend the selective draft law before another call is or dered. A iv re pa at on or zation of the first increment of the national army recruits on September 5th began today with the receipt by tho quartermaster general's c^rps of the meal tickets to be furinshed the men enroute to their camps. Each ticket is made out in triplicate form nnd provides for meals not to ex ceed 60 cents apiece in value. The local boards will issue these tickets. Vouchers Good as Cash. Once men are on tlj0 trains, the new soldiers' railroad fares and meal tickets will be turned over to a lead er selected by each local board. The railroad officials will provide places where the men can cat or e,se tur" nish them lunch boxes. The public is warned that the vouchers that the leaders will turn over for meals must be accepted when properly endorsed and are as*good as cash when turned over to the near est army quartermaster, wtiose loca tion will be stamped on each ticket.

Coch ran to Fill the Vacancy.« Auditor P. J. Portz is no longer clerk of the Crawford county exemption board. His resignation was accepted on Thursday, August 23d, by Gov. W. H. Harding and on last Friday, Mr. Portz received a letter from the gov ernor advising him of the fact. Mr. E. T. Cochran has been appoint ed clerk of the board by Governor Harding and has already commenced his duties. Mr. Cochran is well fitted for this work, having a wide acquaint ance over the county. Mr. Portz tendered his resignation to the governor about two weeks ago. His duties as county auditor required so much of his time that it was simply out of the question for him to devote as much time to the exemption board as was necessary. Work in the aud itor's office has been piling up for the past four weeks. Mr. Portz will rend er assistance to the exemption board whenever called upon. Responding to the movement for use of dried foods,' many men about now are ordering a case of extra dry. GRADING CAMP HELD UP, ROBBED Automobile Bandits Descend Upon the Camp of Laborers Employed on Road Near Charter Oak. BANDITS RIDE IN A JITNEY Last Seen Going at Rapid Rate at Missouri Valley—Country Being Searched for Robbers. Five men, heavily armed and equip ped with a jitney automobile, de scended upon a grading camp at Char ter Oak early Sunday morning, ter rorized a score of laborers and then escaped with considerable cash. The automobile carrying the band its tore through Missouri Valley at 2 o'clock in the morning, headed •qwnrd Council Bluffs. The police in Council Bluffs kept watch but saw nothing of the robbers. Laborers «t the camp were keeping in their biinlt?. it 1s said, when the bandits drove up. Shots were fired to intimidate the victims and each man and his bunk was systematically searched for loot. Several of the grad ers lost tidy sums that they had saved. The surpri se was'complete and no re sistance was offered. The country surrounding was searched, but no trace was found of the baiuHts. U-BOAT WEEKLY TOLL. Statement by British Admiralty Shows Loses Which Were Caused During Last Period. LONDON, Aug. 22—The number of British merchantment sunk by sub marines or mines in the last week was slightly larger than the previous week when a considerable falling off was noted. Fifteen vessels of more t'.ian 1.C00 tons were sunk and three vos sels of less than l.Cftrt tons, in addi tion to two fishing vessels. The rec ord since the unrestricted warfare began follows: in clothing allowances and quartermas ters are instructed to (ill requisitions only for necessities. This will discon tinue the former practice of giving soldiers upon enlistment an extra al lowance of $3.05 in clothing. No Roosevelt Army' The national army men when they arrive in camp, will be examined by army surgeons and will then be im mediately provided with uniforms. A report that Col. Roosevelt was to lepd 100,000 men to Russia was discredited by army officials today. They pointed out that there wcre available neither the transports nor training camp facilities for such a large force. If the troops are sent to Russia, it was said, they will prob ably be a small force of trained men calculated to instill confidence in the Russians.

REVIEW SALINGER ASKS $80,000 DAMAGES Justice of Iowa Supreme Court Hsfs Filed Suits Against Two Des Moines Newspapers. DES MOINES, Aug. 27—Echoes of the late campaign appeared in district court in Des Moines today when Jus tice Ben I. Salinger of the Iowa su preme court filed eight damage suits of $10,000 each against the Register and the Capital. The justice charges that the Regis ter, its publisher, Gardner Cowles, and its editor, Harvey Ingham, damaged him $60,000 worth by imputing that he obtained a place for former State Senator Arthur Savage, of Adair, with the Rock Island, and that he interced ed with the Rock Island in behalf of the former senator. Salinger asks $20,000 from the Capital because, he says, that in an editorial the newspa per accused him of seeking to evade work by asking the last legislature to name an additional supreme court jus' tice. He also claims the editorial accused him of getting sleeping quarters from the state without charge in its refer ence to the alleged practice of some supreme court justices in sleeping in the state house. EXPERIENCES AT GREAT LAKES Ray A. Heiden Writes Review Telling of Experiences at U. S. Naval Training States at Great Lakes DRILL FOR FIVE HOURS DAILY Play Baseball, Attend Y. M. C. and at Nine O'Clock Every Evening Bugle Blown to Retire. Great Lakes, 111., Aug. 25, 1917. Editor of The Denison Review: Dear Sir: To my friends of Deni son and vicinity I will endeavor (to the best of my ability) to tell of my experiences here so far. Leaving home Wednesday after noon, August 15th, with several of niy friends bidding me farewell it the station, I was at last off for Omaha to report for duty at the navy recruit ing station the following morning. On August 4th I received a telegram to this effect. I reported at headquar ters on time, but was jiot sent out then because. of too iarce a, 1uncii report ing. at the same time. However, I was sent at 5 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, together with one hun dred other fellows over the Rock Isl and. The chief quartermaster of Omaha acted as chaperon and a better one we could not have had. Arriving at Chicago about S o'clock, it was on ly several hours' ride to the great lakes. We arrived here just in time for mess (dinner), and to speak of this first meal might be interesting to some of you at home. Marching two abreast each one awaited his turn to satisfy his appetite. Well, our first meal consisted of potatoes, meat, cof fee, bread and a good sized orange apiece. In the afternoon directly af ter mess we received part of our out fit, namely, two wool blankets, one towel, one mattress and cover. This was not very much to begin camp life with, but sufficient for the present. In just as few words as possible I will name the eats. They are navy beans, cabbage, tomatoes, etc, very little pie. and cake, very few sweets being allowed, rice, oatmeal, tea. eggs, etc. Of course we have only four or five of these foodstuffs each meal, but then there are seconds always in cof fee, tea or bread. We drill from four to five hours every day, and the rest of our spare time is usually spent over at the Y. M. C. A. or playing baseball, etc. At 9:00 p. m. a bugle is blown and a large cannon fired as a signal for everyone to retire for the evening. Five min utes later the bugle again blows for taps this time anyone caught loaf ing or still up (except guards), is giv en an opportunity to serve extra guard duty. Each company (144 men), com pany commander or chief petty offi cer, with his assistants, each have sev* eral guards appointed to do guard duty, each taking turns near their company headquarters. I served as guard on messenger duty from 3:00 to 5:00 a. in. the fifth day I was here. My business was to let no one enter (without permission) the officers' headquarters (Barracks E). Before I forget I want to tell you there were two of us at the same post (more com fortable first time). At 5: a. m. rev elry is sounded by the bugler. It is then time to get up ready for the new day's work. It seems to say, "I can't get 'em up, I can't get 'em up in the morning.' The first thing one is ex pected to do is to clean up one's tent, scrub floor soon after cots are re moved to the outside. Most of our company received their first dress suit and other clothing. I received by' blue suit, four pairs of underwear, shoes, leggins, sweater, stocking cap, handkerchiefs, etc. Our time and pay began on day of enlist ment so you see although I received my first $10 last Friday I have nearly three months' pay coining because I enlisted May 28th. Companies number one and two left here for Paul Jones the middle of last week to finish out the rest of their detention period. By this I mean be ing detained or held here from two to three weeks. During this ttine no one in detention is allowed shore leave, etc. Then companies number three and four expected to leave some time this week and we (most likely) will follow them out quite directly. But as yet we haven't received our two white suits and uUtl^ do tbe ••BaAilifA.

The letter was dated at Noy on, France, July 23d. and follows in part: "I'm sending this lettor out by a friend that leaves us tomorrow for the states to rejoin hia regiment, the Third field artillery of New York, in which he holds a commission as first lieutenant.
