THE DAILY NEBRASKA N E3 NEWS FROM CAMP A letter received from h NebraHka boy at Camp Greene, N. V.. kIvoh a graphic and amusing account of the manner In which Holdlera travel. He and about h hundred other men left Camp Funston In three special Pull mana and reached Cnnm Greene In three dayB. ' "Flint of all there are no light al lowed in the Pullman except cnndles. Hut If I forget everything else utout this trip the meals on the truln will long remain In my memory. We traveled in Pullmans but we sure failed to get dining car eats. Perhaps you have heard- of hard tack. We were formally introduced to this afore said article of earthly sustenance and It sure defies description. - It looks about like the crackers only thicker, It has thoso same funny little holes like a cracker, presumably to give something for your teeth to get a good grip and you sure need It. It seems to be a conglomerate mixture of brick dust, nitroglycerine, and cement. Anyone with soft teeth had better beware. With each hard tack is printed directions as how to handle with care to avoid danger. To let it fall on your pedal extremities would be unusually fatal. I will never for get the look of consternation that spread over my countenance when my teeth first descended Into Its adamun tine surface. Hut experience is a good teacher and I learned to masticate It Huccescftlly. "To supplement hard tack and to form the remaining portion of our menu they served us u massive-look lug delicacy which In polite circles is known as canned corn beef but which we speak of fumillnrly as "canned horse." I speak of It reverently as I always do when I speak of the dead. In looks It resembles a cross between cold mush and frozen apples; in smell It rivals a glue factory; in taste it equals the medicine we were com pelled to take In our childhood. These two articles were all we had during the entire trip. Some feed did you say?" "The men live in tents partially warmed by small stores Jn the cen ter. There is no place to wash so we don't wash; there Is no place to take n bath so we don't bathe; as we very seldom have a broom we don't sweep." mm, "A Box of Chocolates" ILLER'S RESCRIPTION HARM AC Y STEWART'S QUINTET PEADY FOR FUNSTON (Continued from page one.)

The gross receipts from the game are to be donated whole to the ath letic fund at Camp Funston. The funds will be used to enable Uncle Sam's boys to support their athletic teams, and provide the proper equip ment. If there were no other reason for attending the game, this should be a good enough one to pack the audi torium. It is expected that there will be a large delegation of townspeople present, besides the students from the University and other colleges of the town. The affair is to be more than a mere University affair It is for such a worthy cause that the entire city Is Interested in it, and will provide a large delegation. CHORUS WILL GIVE CONVOCATION PROGRAM (Continued from Page One) Cannon to right of them, cannon to L left of them, Cannon in front .of them, volley'd and thunder'd, Stormed at with shot and shell, boldly they rode and well Into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell. Rode the six hundred. Flashed all their sabres bare, flashed as they turned in air, Saborlng the gunners there, Charging an army, while all the world wondered. Plunged in the battery smoke, right through the line they broke, Cossacu and Russian reeled from their sabre stroke, Shattered and sundered. Then they rode back, but not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, cannon to left of them. Cannon behind them, volley'd and thundered. Stormed at with shot and shell, while horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well, came from the Jaws of death. Back from the mouth of hell, all that was left of them. Left of six hundred. When shall their victory fade? O, the wild charge they made, All the world wondered. Honour the charge they made, Honour the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred.
