With the arrival of 12,000 men from

of the different units have come
from all over the country. The great
est activity Is shown In nil depart

An Appeal to the Soldiers.
Brig. General Bash, acting com
mander of this division, has made a
direct appeal to the men as individ
ual units in a great army. In his ad
dress, posted in each of the barracks,
he says:
"There remains now but a Bhort
ime to flnlBh off the rough edges of
Mie training of our division. Let us,
in passing the first phase, heBitate
sufficiently to appreciate fully our
shortcomings. Each man can profit
ably take stock and decide for him
self his own shortcomings. When
he realizes that his life at any mo
ment may depend on the thoroness
and completeness of his training
here, the character of his work will
be of a higher degree. If he is always
conscious that excellence and agres
siveness with the bayonet may save
his life, the quality of his work In
training will certainly Improve.
When he recognizes adequately the
value to himself of being fully versed
in the gas situation, ho will see to it
that he is prepared In every respec
to meet it. Each man must bo a un1?,
fit and capable, of caring for himself.
Moreover, there must he a certain
correlation of parts that will .build a
correct and efficient organization.
With a limited time left, -Ihe energy
of each individual must be concen
trated in the 88th division to make it
finished whole and one of the best
to p overseas."

Pat'-hinjt Up the Defective.
More than 800 soldiers at Camp
Dodge, who have been examined and
designated ns "physically unfit for
overseas service," are to be re-examined
and as many as possible placed
in division units for service in
France.
Among the so-called "unfits" are
many men who have but slight de
fects and it is probable a consider
able number will be found who will
eventually be transferred back to the
division proper. Special attention
will be given them in an effort to
remedy ailments to as great degree
as possible. The order for reexam
ination does not mean that men phys
ically incapable of standing the long
strain of continued fighting will be
taken. -
It Is against the policy of the de
partment to burden the overseas
forces with such men, but those who
it Is considered will be able to do
valuable work of a lighter nature
will be accepted.
