THE ALLIANCE HERALD, AUGUST 15, 1918 MACHINE GUNNERS ARE HUSKY MEN Gunner carries over 100 Pounds when going into the battle line. Men at Camp Dodge are taken from all walks of life and are husky, healthy giants, who picked the most dangerous branch of work because of defire to be in the thickest of the fight.

"She wants reserve forces of officers and men. Every detail nas Deen looked alter and there has been an enthusiastic reponse on the part of the men. Every unit has been placed at full strength by taking men from the depot brigade. Il is itil cresting" to note how nicely the men fil into the special work Mtiyned then, In the machine kuh company the other day there w. re pointed out to us men distinguished in many different pro fessions in civil life, hut who have taken up the duty of machine irun operators from choice. Th" lire liusky fellows hecanse that particu lar brineH of the service makes large oemandi upon physical strength and endurance. In soliciting the support of Democratic voters for nomination at the primaries, Lloyd Thomas points to his record during the regular session of 1917 and the special session of 1918. During the special session there were measures necessary that 'Ne braska might do her share in winning the war notably, the sedition bill. Lloyd was one of the introducers of and gave his support towards the pas- for n wwi, ,t m,d w,rioose cio,i,,s sage 0f this and other like bills in order that Nebraska might do her share n 11 fl If nv liii- it n 1 1 1 ii' ill i i t w i . towards winning the war. His entire record is a record of achievement For instance, "'a machine mm weighs around forty ponds, and the tripod weigtfs about the same. Tnefl ammunition and other equipment that toes with the machine will weigh any number of pounds, but not less than 25 If only moderately supplied. This make over 100 pounds thai n gunner must rarry. In addition to thiB he must have his regular equipment, including gas masks, and all of this weight re quires a man of strong physique to carry the burden. Then he must have reserve strength enough to set up and use the machine gun after mak ing a dash for the enemy. Human endurance is taxed to the limit. This eplendid company of men is made up of fellows from Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, both of the Dakotas and a sprinkling from a half dozen other tates. Among the men are such fellows as Ralnsburger, of Duluth, who holds the world's record aB an oarsman, having won thiB title at the interna tional rowing meet a few years ago. Another machine gunner of renown is Duncan, of "somewhere in Illi nois," who is one of the greatest pianlstB in the United States. He carried an insurance policy upon each of his hands for $5,000. An other prominent character in this di Ylfllon is Slater who holds several records in the athletic world. He Is from Minneapolis. This company has been under the instruction of Prof. Seymour, at the head of the athletic department at the state teachers college at Cedar Falls, la., for many years, but who now holds the rank of captain in the national army. The Inspection of every unit is carefully looked 'after. Capt. Percy Bordwell, formerly a profes sor in the Iowa state uriiverslty, has been promoted to major and assigned as camp Inspector.

More than 100 soldiers have disposed of their pronerty. per sonal and real, in wills drawn and executed in the judge advocate's of fice. The great majority Of the alien have stipulated in their Insurance policies how their allowance is to be disposed of in case of death.

In addition to this number see several thousand assigned to the depot brigade from which are drawn from time to time the men necessary to keep all units full.
