i're trim, ib.e men are happy and
I'.ntrnte't, waiting patiently for
''ilcrs starting them to France.
.1 'his is the message which Cover-
: .'i" Neville brings from the camp
v. here with Adjutant General Clapp,
ice Chairman Conplanrl of tlie
Council of Defense ami Private
Secretary Lec Metcalfe . lie attended
the dedication of the Xehraska
i'tiilding for the ti-e ot the Nebraska
men in camp thci
"J'he Nebraska men in the camp
make op nearly the entire unit of
what is known as the 314th ammuni
tion train of a little more than 1,100
men. The building was built from
subscriptions received and cost ap
proximately $8,000 of which $6,000
has been paid and the rest is in siglu.
There was no place in that part
of the camp where the men could go
tor recreation, reading or rest or to
receive their families or friends
The building was erected in nine
days.
With the exception of two or three
expert carpenters, the work was ail
done by the Nebraska boys them
selves and it is strictly a Nebraska
building. It has a large floor space
seating comfortably 1 .400 men with a
stage for entertainments and motion
pictures and small reading and lodg
ing rooms.
The governor and his escort
reached Fmiston Friday afternoon,
after being met at Manhattan by an
officer and taken 14 miles in an
automobile to the camp where they
were met by Captain J. I). Telford,
commander of the "division. After
being escorted over the entire can
tonment by the captain, Governor
Neville and Vice Chairman Coupland
were taken to Fort Riley as the
guests of Captain Telford, while
General Clapp and Captain Metcalfe
were taken in hand by the officer
of the camf and were their guests
during the time they remained in
Funston.
Guests at Banquet
Saturday morning they reviewed
the ammunition train, saw one
company in the gas mask drill, in
spected the trenches and had a visit
with the Nebraska men. In the
evening they were the guests of
honor at a banquet given by the
officers of the camp. The after
noon was devoted to the exercises in
connection with the dedication of the
Nebraska building, an address by the
governor and music by the rcgi
mental band.
Sunday morning the governor and
his party paid their respects to
Colonel Winn, commander of the
camp.
According to the governor, the men
arc contented and happy. They are
beginning to get used to camp life
and are now able to save finite a little
from the ration allowance, so that
they buy luxuries, chicken being the
principal extra.
Colonel Duval, the governor dis
covered, was a graduate of the same
military school the governor attended
nd that the colonel's brother was a
classmate of the governor during the
time he was in school.
Hospitals in Fine Trim.
ti itH'ncttrr-itirni rif t 1l f liACnilal (lie
closed that facilities for taking care
of the sick are as well provided as at
the average hospital and that there
appears to be plenty of help. Of the
more than 40.000 men who have been
at Funston. but l'X) have died. At
this time there is an epidemic of
mumps, but not of a serious nature.
The camp is just like a big family,
according to the governor, and the
non-commissioned officers receive
consideration from tlcir superiors in
a way tiiat indicates military rank
has not entirely killed the brotherly
feeling among the men who will have
:o fight shoulder to shoulder in trench
'and battlefield.
An interesting story was told the
governor by Colonel Telford. In the
first consignment of the draft wdiich
reached the camp was a member of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
He was frank in admitting his identity
with that body and protested against
being forced to enter the camp for
military instruction. He told the
colonel that he thought it was no
more than right that he should know
he was an Industrial Worker of the
World. The colonel instructed the
captain of the company to keep his
eye on the man. After being in the
camp about a month the man devel
oped tuberculosis. It was decided to
give him' his discharge. The man
cried and said he did not want to
leave the service.
"1 sec things differently now," said
he, "and 1 never was so well used in
my life. Isn't there some way I can
stay in the service? 1 want to fight
for the old flag."
It was finally decided to give him a
chance and he was sent to one of the
.southern camps.

Lincoln Highway Consuls i
Hold Meeting at Fremont
State Consul George F. Wolz of
the Lincoln Highway called a mect-j
ing of all local consuls Saturday at i
Fremont to discuss the problem of ,
obtaining federaWaid on the highway'
The Lincoln Highway runs on the
Union Pacific railroad right of way
for more than 100 miles through the
state, and the Washington authoities
have decreed that no federal aid will I
be given on that account.
It is up to the several counties hav
ing this problem to face to either
change the route or get county money
by a levy or through grading or pav
ing districts.
Fremont and Dodge comities have
lined up fix miles west of Fremont
for concrete, most of the property
owners having already signed up. This !
paving district runs back two miles on
either side of the highway, ami the
tax is from $4.50 an acre on abutting
property and graduating down to
lesser tax as the oiies of 40 acres
each recede from the highway. J
State Engineer George F,. John- j
son went into the federal aid proposi
tion thoroughly. j
Lngland, during the first year ot
the war, stopped building roads. To
day, as a result, she has found her
mistake and is spending three times as
much money building highways as in
normal times." said the state engineer.
Secretary Smith of the Auto club
attended the meeting.
