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.

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

operators from choice. Th" lire liusky fellows hecanse that particu

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

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.
Man) Soldiers Hare Made Wills.
Having in mind the getting into
the thickest of the fight in France
many teen have had wills properly
drawn up. More than 100 soldiers
have disposed of their pronerty. per

executed in the judge advocate's of

policies how their allowance is to be
disposed of in case of death.
Athletic Training Has BMC) the BejNt,
Soldiers in the 88th division at
