Camp Dodge, Iowa, August 28.
With the leaving of the Three hun
dred fifty-first and Threee hundred
fifty-second Infantry regiments com
manded by Cols. C. S. Croaby and C.
B. Hawkins, respectively, the Throe
hundred forty-ninth, the Three hun
dred fiftieth. Three hundTed flfty
flrat and Three hundred nfty-aecond
ambulance companies and field hos
pitals of the same designation, all
division organizations south of Depot
stree and to a considerable extent
north of this rohd, have left the cnn
tonment. Besides the infantry regi
ments n.vmed, the Three hundred
thirteenth field slgnul battalion, the
military police, two sanitary squads
and the ammunition train u.-tve left
cr.mp. This means that the entire
88th division of the nations r.rmy.
consisting of 27,000 men have de
parted for overseas servi. e. In place
of these men thousands of new re
cruits have taken their places at the
big camp. The 163rd dapot brigade is
composed of 76 companies and this is
to be the nucleus of the new di
vision now forming. Other units have
been left behind and a couple of regi
ments of regulars are to be sent here
to participate in the reconstruction.
The men from Moni.ma . Nebr: ska,
South Dakota and various other sec
tions who have been sheltered In
tents have served 'he quarantine re
strctlons and are now occupying the
barrncks and the tents are to be used
for quarantine quarters for the new
men arriving daily. We are not al
lowed to give the number of men now
in camp but it registers well up to the
capacity of the cantontmnt. The One
hundred sixty-third depot brigade to
which all new men have been rsslgn
ed and those unfit for overseas serv
ice relegated, is slowly spreading out
Into the vacated territory. Officers
at the camp express the opinion that
there is every reason to bell ve there
will be apeellng up In the training
of soldiers in this new division which
will make p ssible Kb being turned i
out lit for overseas work in four to
six months' time. In the first pine
the Camp is now complete In its fa- j
cilities for training nu n. There are
officers of experience on hand to fa
cilitate the work. It is understood
thu-t the practice of taking men away
from this camp to till other divisions
elsewhere will he discontinued which
will greatly facilitate th completion
(their training at Camp Dodge. The I
organization plan of the army has j
been thoroly worked out o there will
all of the drum corps, are headed for
France. New bands are being organ
ize I and numerous drum and life ar
tists are being nought. The negroes,
of which there are several thousand,
are organizing two big b.-.nds. Other
amusement features are under way.
The Montana soldiers have already
.featured a wild west exhibition and
there will be all kinds of stunts be
cause of the diversity and abundance
Of talent.
llic War IeMtrtment Is Strong on
Athletics.
Athletic matot-i.il sufficient to sup
ply 1.7.10 companies, or 125 complete
i-egiments, has been purchased by the
war department commission on train
ing camp activities, an appropriation
of $250,000 hr.ving been obtained for
thin purpose The supplies, for which
the war department thru the commis
sion invited bids, Included the fol
lowing items: 17,500 nets of boxing
gloves, 7,000 baseball bats, 21,100
baseballs, 3,500 playground baseball
bats, 10,500 playground b:dls, 3,000
KuKby footballs, 7,000 scccer foot
balls, 3,500 volley balls, nd 1,750
medicine balls. Allotment f the ma
terial to the various training camps
is being made, r.nd much of the
equipment has already been distrib
uted. As part of the commission's
campaign to raise funds for the pur
chase of athletic equipment for the
camps, it 1b announced that with the
sum of $3,600 obtained frm the
American Lawn Tennis association,
the commission has purchased and
distributed 1.050 tennis rackets, 220
nets, and 2,700 bRlls. Arrangments
have been made with a national base
ball organization, composed of busi
ness men who have interested them
selves In baseball as a sport rather
than a money making proposition, to
put on a limited number of outside
games in the various large cities of
the country, in which camp teams
will be matched against civilian
amateur or semi-professional clubs.
All proceeds from the games will be
turned over to the commission's ath
letic fund.
Hostess Hoiim an Important Adjunct.
The women of the country did a
most generous and worthy act when
they raised a fund for the erection of
the large hostess house at Camp
Dodge. I have been studying the
work done there and it is wonderful
to note the larse place this house
fills. In the three months the howL-Hs

house at Cump Dodge has served
thru its cafeteria 41.071 meals. This
means that many a family had a re
union with -their soldier, p.nd a fam
ily meal together. The few emer
gence guest rooms, which are held
at the disposal of the base hospital
have taken care of 985 women all
away from their homes for the one
purpose: to see the man who was
sick. On request of chaplains, wed
ding ceremonies have taken place in
the hostess house. It is just as prob
able that while one member Of the

other is seeing a mother thru the
