Soldier Boys Letters
Camp Lewis
Sept 8, 1918
C. T. Bogert,
Dear Sir:
I promised to write you and
give you my address after I ar
rived in camp, so here goes.
We arrived at the camp about
8 o’clock on the morning of the
31st, we took the preliminary ex
amination and were assigned to
our quarters. We did nothing
Saturday, but Sunday we took
the physical examination.
Monday morning I was put on
K. P. (kitchen police) ajl day. at
about 4 p. m. we were all taken
over to the infirmary and given
our first vacination and inocula
tion, we have two yet to take
one-week apart, that means one
tomorrow and one the next Mon
day.
After each inoculation (or shot
we have 24 hours rest, to recu
perate in. Several of the boys
were so sick that they had to be
taken to the hospital after the
first shot, they say that one out
-of the 3 taxes effect and makes a
man awfully sick, if so, I still
mine coming, because the first
-one did not affect me in the least
During the first inoculation (or
21 days) we are under strict
quarantine, and cannot leave the
barracks, but we get nearly ev-1
erylhing we need by serdir.g to
the canteen by some older soldiei
who is not under quarantine.
Wednesday we weie all taken
■over and given our final examin
ation and mustered into the U. S
N. A., then we signed up our in
- surance papers and went back t
the barracks. Wednesday night
we were issued our clothing
which consisted of 2prs shoes,
1 per dress, lper drill, 5 pr socks
:2pr cotton 3 woolen, three under
drawers. 2?r trousers, 2 shirts, 1
hat, 1 blouse or coat, 1 suit union
alls.l raincoat and 1 overcoat..
.bo you see we are well supplied
with clothing, also 1 belt.
Thursday afternoon 28 of us
were trtn ftrred here to the 76. h
Inft, and several other bunches
-of boys were transferred to ma
chine gun divisions and other
•companies.
Fksnk Jelinek and Harry Qrr,
the 2 boys that came with me,
-were not transferred at the same
time I was, but I heard that they
were to be transferred the ne. t
-day, Frank going as aM. P„
military police, and Harry to the
Ist left, lam going to try an
find Own as soon as we are out
of quarantine.
Since Thursday we have been
receiving drill instruction and
have heard several good lectures
on military discipline and courte
sy and care of the body.
Each man has his individual
steel cot or bunk with a straw
mattress and he is supposed to
keep the floor cleaned up around
his bunk. He is also compelled t.i
shave at least 3 tim. 8 a week,
take a bath at least once every
day and keep his clothes washed
dean.
We have a damp, smoky atmos
phere here, that does not seem
to agree with me, as I have a c«!d
all the time since I came. We
are about 15 miles from Tacoma,
and between 30 and 50 feet above
sea levd.
Weil 1 think I had better c r ose
for this time, so will say good -
bye, give my best regards to ev
ary one. Would be glad to hear
from all who care to write.

Tin Cans and Fruit Pits
Wanted by Government
Ry. Mt. News Sept. 14, 1918.
The government has issu< d a
requist to the housekeepers to
save tin cans. Nut shells and
fruit pit, to be used in the mak
ing of carbon for gas masks, are
also needed. The request comes
thru the bureau of conservation
of' the Mountain division of the
American Red Cross. This bu
reau. formerly known as the sal
vage department, will hencefotth
be in closer touch with govern
ment needs, and will work direct
ly with it. Mrs. H. H. Tomkins
Jr., has recently been appointed
associate director of the bureau
to assist C. E. Pester.
No Covenanted Peace With
Germany.
Americq unless we repudiate
civil, zaticn and abanion humanity
and put a premium on savagery
and brutality, can make no cov
enanted ptac \ no peace by agree
ment or negotiation with Germa
ny. It would be acovenant with
hell, a partnership with infamy.
Nor would such a peace secute
peace, except so long as it suited
Germany. We can judge the fu
ture only by the past, and to
Germany sacred treaties are like
scraps of paper only. Germany’s
whole history is a record of na
tional treachery, national bad
f i.h, national dishonor, national
.carder and national infamy.
Artie.t 5G of the Hague Con
vetili6:i, to whicii Germany sol
emnly subicribjil, is; “Family
honor and rights, the lives of
persons and private property, as
well as religous convictions and
practice must be respected. Pri
vate property cannot be confiasu
ted.”
The world knows how Germany
has observed this article. There
are millions of individual witness
es to her fl igrant breaches of it.
Every acre of foreign soil Ge •
many lias occupied bears mute
but unimpeachable evidence of it
There is plenty of German e\ i
denci of it. too.
’’Thegrolsof different sorts
seized in the enemies’, territories
are in such large quantities that
the difficulty of knowing where
tD put them increases day by day
At the request of the Prussian
minister of wsr, all chambers of
commerce have bee a asked to
give all possible information with
regard to storehouses, sheds, etc
whihh cou'd be used temporarily
to warehouse the spoil.”
From the Frankfurter Z»itung
January 1918.
The German papers have been
crowded with advertisements of
sale of property taken from
France and Belgium. Members
of the Reichstag have boasted of,
o' hers have censured, the amount
of booty brought to Germany
from the occupied territory, and
the destruction has been far
greater than the confiscation.
Of the old men and%hildren
murdered, of the women and
girls ravished, of the noncombat
ants taken from their homes and
d -i orted to work for their con
qu Tors, of the merchant ships
sunk and passengers and crews
murdered, of the hospital ships
sunk, the hospitals and uoforti-j
fled cities bombed, of the mulila ;
lion and crucifixion and othe:-,
wise of wxn led and captured !
soldiers—of all this beastliness
there is plenty of evidence, evi
dence that no one can disbelieve.
The best answer to German
peace propaganda is sinking more
U-boats, sending more men to
Trance, speeding up our work
along every line, and a heavy
subscription to the Fourth Liber
ty Loan. Peace must mean the
triumph of right and justice, the
defeat of Germanism, not a truce
with it, not a compromise with it.
Our soldiers in France are glo
riously doing their part toward
victory; the Liberty Loan sub
scription must show that the peo
ple at home are doing theirs.

A Message to You From His
Majesty, King George Vth
The following letter is given i
our Solcur Boys wneii they lui
“Jver There.”
Soldiers ot the United State,
the people of the Br.t.. h lsi..
Welcome You on your way i
tak ; your stand beside the armn
of many Nation.-, now fighting .1
the Old World the great batii
for Human Freeeo.n.
The allies will gain new heai
and spirit in your company,
I wish that 1 could shake li.
hand of each one 01 you and hi
you God speed on your mission.
George R. I.
Can any loyal, thinking cl titan of
Colorado mistake the necessity and
me wisdom of again placing Julias C.
Gunter in the executive chair? Every
voter’s Americanism is involved in
tuts. For every true patriot must
want Colorado to do its best for the
nation. There has been no shadow
on this slate's splendid war accoxu*
plishnients in the past. There must
bo none in the future.
Opponents of Governor Gunter howl
that be lias turned Colorado over to
the profiteers. But they arc careful
not to mention specific examples of
profiteering. They know the United
States government is the only public
agency exercising price regulating
functions. And they know further
that regularly published reports of
the federal depaitnient of labor show
prices of food products in Colorado
to Le lower than In almost all other
states.
If Herbert Hoover lived In Colorado
he would be the last person to b
fooled by the cries of "profiteering."
But it shouldn't require a Hoover tc
detect the similarity between the pres
ent wall about "profiteering'" and the
opposition's old-titne political cam
paign cry of “wolf.”
“Dcn’t swap horses in the middle o*
the stream.” That's Just as soun'
advice today as it was fifty years age
Bear it in mind on primary day, Ser
tember 10.
The pro-Gcmians are for any w
didatc but Governor Gunter. T1
want a change.
