"‘% oy .‘o.’
~ It was proposed by Mr. Young that

Alaska, a country which he believed
® Bpecially suitable for that purpose.

¢ *My Dear Dr. Young: :
2"I was indeed pleased to get your
# detter, 'which came along with one
from mother. Your plan of 'using
Planes in the Alaska work seems
& mest practical. After this mess ~ver
Bre is cleared up and people get
. adjusted again there is going to B® a
‘fremendous jump in aviation. There
48 Mo reason in the world why you
‘Souldn’t make a trip (in my plane)
At almost any part of Alaska in com
“Pagative safety and comfort, nof men
'tiohing the time gained.
' & %Y have thought a lot about the
! . since mother mentioned it months
. 89, and I think I will join forces
_With you to see how it can be wofl:ed
. But. As you say, there will be tlfou-
Sands of men going to Alaska after
18 war. They are going to netd a
jospel taught them that will nly
"Be listened to if it contains‘the plea
of one man to another. The day of.
‘soft-handed doctors of divinity is
‘passing for these chaps over here.
¥'he church is remote in their minds
Jand the Sabbath day is not the sev
ntin-or which to rest. There is an
;g job ahead for the clergy
t@fter the war, and they would better
‘pFepare men at once for that work.
S '¥ou may count on me to stay with
you.on any idea you may advance,

ROCKETS SENT “SKY-HIGH” IN
CAPITAL BY MEADE SIGNALERS
911th Battalion Is Honored by an Invita
~ tion to Do “Stunts” Before Experts
at the Army War College‘
It is not often that any organiza
tion in the Army is called to Wash
ington to give an exhibition of its
skill and it is probably -the first time
since the war started that the War
College has invited a unit to comé
there for a study of its exceptional
ability. This honor has fallen to the
211th Field Signal Battalion of Meade,
which went to Washington Sunday
morning.
Ma.j, Dilley led about 200 of the
battalion into the capital, and exhi
bitions were given Monday, Tuesday
and Wednéday at the Army War
College, which lies:on the edge of
the Potomac river just®on the border
of the city of Washington.
Show Spirit of Enthusiasm.
~ All branches of signaling were done,
and the boys went. through their
stunts with the same spirit of enthu
siasm which characterized their work
in Meade, when the members of the
11th Division took.part in the man- .
euvers. two weeks ago.
In fact, the signaling here was so
M
":salling. because it is about the easiest
thing in the world to get acquainted with
a crowd of rookies bound for camp.
- After things had become settled the boys
.caught sight of some son{ sheets, and
quicker than it takes to tell it the lot of
1,000 sheets had disappeared and right.
away the singing started. _
Then followed the distribution of
- *Y” post cards, with the introduction
that the “Y” man aboard is there to
serve them and that a “Y” man goes
all the way—to the trenches and
back. ‘On this trip 1,000 cards were
given away. By this time the excite
ment had worn off and it wasn't diffi
cult to hold the attention of. the men
to making a few announcements con
cerning the work of the Y. M. C. A,
with mention of the Knights of Co
lumbus, Red Cross and Jewish Wel
fare Association. !

suécesstul that the War DE€partment
observers were impressed@ with the
efficiency of the 211th Battalion, and
ordered it to Washington that the
signal officers there might have a
special opportunity of seeing what
the new Armfy Mo in this impor
tant department.
Contztlons in the capital are ldéal
for signaling, as Bolling Field for
aviation is near at hand, and the
aviators are always flying over the
city and willing to take part in any
special- entertainment or ' practice
that may présent itself. ,
Marx Gets Two Bars.
Not the least of the work was that
of the pigeons which Capt. Marx, the
camp signal officer, trained in Meade.
The officer, incidentally, has just
been given his “two bars” as a mark
of the-government's appreciation of
his work.
The co-ordination of the Signal
Corps with the aviation service {s
one of importance, and it is regarded
as likely that the work here will
be shortly aupglemented by the visit
.of more aviators, who will give
further exhlbltlonfi along the linos
shown here before. :

Machine Gun Battalion Scene of
Sunday Morning Lesson in
~ Jiu-Jitsu.
When the duty sergeant in Company
A, 32d Machine Gun Battalion, was at
- tacked by an alleged pro-German, al
~ though._his name was Angell, he
proved that some “Angells” can flght,\
and the rebellious soldier found him
self lying in the dust.
k August Krentz made the assertion
- that he was a Russian by birth, but,
- he had never been naturalized. The
Boys in the company who were with
him down at Camp Hancock, Ga., de
clared that he was never very anxious
to help out, especially when there was
any work to be done.
| Would Not Work,
i “He seemed to be pro-German,” they
~ said, “although hé never seemed to
- say anything against the United
~ States, except that he did not have to
. work for it.” -
-~ This kept up quite a while after
.~ Krentz and the other fellows came to
- Meade to form the nucleus for the
- machine gun battalions of the divi
sion.. Finally, the climax came last
. Sunday, when Sergt. Shipfer, in charge
of J{i company’s mess, ordered
* Krentz- who was on “K. P.,” to cut
some wood.
' Krentz went out to the woodpile,
- but refused to work. The sergeant
* went to the orderly room and report
- ed the matter to Sergt. Angell, the
l duty sergeant. With Angell he went
' to the woodpile, and as soon as they
arrived Krentz began to curse Angell,
it was declared. '
Tried to Strike Angell.
The affair had not gene far when
Krentz is said to kave swung wildly
at Sergt. Angell and missed him. For
" tunately he did not have the ax in his
' hands. Angell came back quickly,
and, catching the disorderly one by
' the right arm, used a little jiu-jitsu
and landed him on his back on the
. ground.
; A guard 'was called by Angell and
. Krentz spent the rest of the day under
arrest, but still on the woodpile, and,
- from last accounts, chopping assidu
y ously.
