Some of the men who had not been exposed to the disease had been transferred to Company and expressed themselves as being very sorry for the men in the Headquarters company, but it did not last long us the company to which they had been assigned was soon after quarantined and they were returned to the Headquarters company. Quite a number of men in the Headquarters company were disappointed in not being able to see the football game between the Great Lakes Naval Training school and the Division team. About fifty had put in applications for leave to see the game.

Of course, the quarantine was the cause of our not beinji able to attend. Every man in the Headquarters company now has a wash basin, all his own.

The Headquarters company spent a day in the trenches last week and made a very satisfactory showing, according to some of the authorities. The digging was very hard for some of the men, who have never had an opportunity to handle the pick and hovel. yet the day was well spent.

Munsch appeared in a suit The 314th engineers were the firm Funston troopH to advance to the "firing line" on the newly completed target range beyond Fort Kiley. Beginning a week ago last Monday, a solid week was put in by the regiment In following out the schedule of targets and ranges prescribed In the new "Course score card. Altho the first ranges and targets proved comparatively easy, there were but few who continued to qualify thru the short ranges to th BOO and 6 ii 0 yard distances. The first practice was from a prone position at 100 yards. The target was 4 feet squure with an 8-Inch bull's-eye.

Ten shots were fired at this distance, and scores of better than 45, out of the possible 50, were fairly common. The men were then moved back to 200 yards and placed In a typical firing trench, still using the same target. Scores fell off proportionately. The final shooting at the square target consisted of fifteen rounds at 300 yards, fired from a trench. The highest possible score, for the tlyee ranges, was 175.

It was necessary to score 105 to qualify for practice at the figure targets at the same three ranges. Five rounds at each range were fired at the head and head-and-shoulder silhouettes. Of the fifteen shots, nine hits were necessary to qualify the shooter to proceed to rapid fire. Many rifles were laid aside to cool. The rapid fire consisted of ten shots at the head target, 100 yard range, in 75 seconds.

Penalties were exacted from those who failed to fire the required number of rounds. The same shooting was repeated at the 200 and 300 yard ranges, eighteen hits being necessary to qualify for the record rapid fire. The record fire was over the same course as the rapid fire, the firing being more closely supervised. Following the week of concentrated fire at the "front" the engineers reverted last Monday with renewed vigor to the routine work as prescribed in the regular schedule. The target practice evolved not only some excellent marksmen, and others not so excellent, but a general tendency toward lack of military snap and precision an evil which the company commanders decided could be remedied only by-extensive drilling and tightening up.

While on the range, each company was assigned to a certain number of targets for which the company furnished the pit detail. At noon mess trucks brought dinner to the men. Pit details were changed durinpr the noon hour. The range consists of 200 targets. Hardened as he is to weird and unearthly request.

Supply Sergeant Coleman, Company was recently-shocked when a newcomer asked to be supplied with a pair of cactus pants and Captain Dennie's blouse. After the atmosphere had cleared it appeared that what was wanted was a pair of khaki trousers and a denim blouse. A private, writing home to his parents, mentioned the fact that he was "on the kitchen police." The reply from his father a few days later enjoined him not to become too puffed up over his promotion and to be too hard on the other. boyS now" that he had attained a position of authority. Lieutenant Axon, Company led his company in marksmanship upon the range last week.

His score was 20 hits at rapid fire and 21 at record fire. Lieutenant Shriver's scores were respectively 21 and 16. Sergeant Las-wcll, also of Company made 20 hits at both rapid fire courses. Nearly every company in the regiment has "extended to the right and left." Pending the arrival of the remainder of each company's full quota, the present strength of each company-has been assigned to two barrackn. The added room has resulted in space available for recreation and reading rooms in almost every company.

Two a place to eat Sunday dinners, with facilities for writing letters and many other comforts now unknown to the soldiers and those who love them, is completed, then it will be that the soldier will be happy and content and his moral environment will be greatly improved. While it may seem to some that owing to the fact that the 353rd infantry may be ordered to foreign service within a few months and that the outlay, therefore, would not be justified by that fact, there is no question but what successive Kansas regiments will be organized and trained at this cantonment.

The plan is for each Kansas regiment to occupy the quarters now provided by the 353rd so that it is not alone for the present the work is going on, but for the future as well. The regimental officers of the 353rd infantry also want to proidejdeauate means of healthful "aiMP normal amusement for the men beyond that which the very limited facilities at the present time afford.

The regimental officers hoped to have $10 subscribed for every man in the regiment, but at the present time they find that this amount has not been secured.

The fund is 115,000 short of the required amount. Now it is up to the people of Kansas, if they are to retain their splendid record for the equipment of Kansas in a proper manner, to make up this deficiency. When the All-Kansas regiment goes across it will be necessary to have an adequate sum in reserve to furnish the many necessities that are bound to come up. The material for the Recreational hall is on the ground. The actual construction started Saturday and will be pushed forward at a rapid rate.

MUSICAL NOTES Hundreds of 'Them Rounded for the Boys.

Hundred- of songs have come to the office of Chester H.

Every one realized It tasted like something they had eaten before, but could not think exactly what it was till some fellow with a good memory announced that it was a biscuit. No one was allowed more than four, so there was no extra sick call. The fact remains, however, the biscuits and everything that went with them were good, and the mess sergeant was the subject of many a pleasant remark the balance of the day. Sunday afternoon the company was taken on a short hike to get a little fresh air.

The trenches were explored and several new mountains were discovered and climbed. Some claimed it was a long walk, but we have it from an authoritative source that we did not travel more than sixteen miles.

Mr. Dunlap died in the Base hospital Tuesday morning at 1:30 o'clock from pneumonia as the result of his visits to the quarantined barracks where he had contracted measles.

He had been in the hospital for a few-days and was about ready to again take up his duties, when he contracted pneumonia. When the barracks of the various companies began to be quarantined with such diseases as measles, mumps, tonsilitis and the like, it was rather inconvenient for the men to write letters home or to buy from the canteens anything that they wanted. Mr. Dunlap was making regular visits to the various barracks and writing home for the boys, going on errands for them and seeeing to it that they did not want for anything that he could do for them. The diseases for which the barracks had been quarantined were not of a serious nature and the chance was not great.

Mr. Dunlap is a graduate of Boston college of Boston, Mass. He came to this camp during August and took up the Y. M. C.

A sergeant in one of the big army camps down south was having a hard time teaching a young Serbian his general orders for guard duty.

"I'd halt him," the Serbian replied. "Then what would you do?" asked the sergeant.

The near proximity of Thanksgiving holidays at first caused great gobs of gloom to appear upon the horizon of those who were expecting to enjoy a turkey dinner at home, but the announcement that the quarantine would not interfere with the holiday furlough lifted a heavy burden from their minds. "General Measles" took the first line trenches Tuesday morning. November 13. when Private John W. Powell fell out for reveille with a beautiful red polka dot face.

General Wood made good use of his experience as an army surgeon, explaining to the men the ways that the spread of diseases could, be stopped.

The men were asked to have a culture taken In order that any carriers of meningitis could be discovered, and the men agreed to have their nose and throat examined. as the doctors prescribe.
