(By Cupt. Carl V. Tengwald.)
CAMP MURRAY, Waah., Aug. 28.
(Spl.) When It rains In China It U
ealrl that war ceasea until the weath

American army.
Steady downpours have been the
ordrr yesterday and today, but In
spite of this, preparations are going
forward for the biggest war maneu
ver since the days of 1817, commenc
lng tomorrow morning at daybreak
and continuing for four days. Fif
teen thousand regular army and na
tional guard troops will participate
and the problem will take In an area
of approximately 60 square miles.
The camp la active tonight In pre
paration of the event, packs are be
ing rolled and kitchens are being dis
mantled In preparation for entruck
ing In the morning. Where we go
no one knows, but undoubtedly when
It In all over the men participating
will have gone through an experience
that will long be remembered.
Otio of the buslpHt men In camp
Is Chief Cook Ralph Smith, who has
cooked for Company A for the paat
seven years. Besides cooking for our
company, Ralph la also handling the
mess for the medical company of Eu
gene, and headquarters company of
Ore sham and also 13 officers, mak
ing a total of 116 men at each meal.
And Ralph has a real problem on the
maneuver cooking for thla number
of men in the field and moving his
rolling krtchon several tlmos a day.
Veterans Willi Company,
Speaking of old -timers with the
outfit, there Is First Sgt. Frank Dud
ley, who has been with Company A
tpr 17 years: Mess Sgt. Reuben Plt,
Who has been with Company A IB
years, and Sgt. Wiley, company clerk.
Who- nan been with Company A for
16 years. In the commissioned per
sonnel. First Lieut, Weldon H. McBee
and Second Lieut. Bruce W. Moffntt
have 16 years with the company,
' Sgt. Charles Ovormyer and Corp.
John W. Burns went fishing last
night In Murray creek and the net
reaut of their catch was two bull
frogs and one water snake. Corp.
Carl Nabb brought his new motor-
cycle to camp and as a result the
colonel drafted him as regimental
messenger. Private First Class Berle
Thornton and Private Paul Hughes
are playing with the 166th Infantry
band. Private First Class Dwlght E,
Welch la regimental orderly.
Not a single member of the com
pany has been on sick call for the
past two days a remarkable record
Camp life this year seems to agree
with the boys and all are eager to
take part In the four-day maneuver
Heath Oldest Member.
Private Benjamin Heath Is the old
est member of the company. He lives
In Ash I end and enlisted In Company
A shortly before we left for camp,
He Is a World war veteran, having
had overseas service In France and
Germany.
Corp. Dolph Ouyer, besides attend
ing to his regular military duties, Is
known as the official movie, camera
operator of the company and when
ever he has the chance Is taking pic
tures of this and that and when the
winter months roll around no doubt
the films of ptoturea he Is taking
will be Interesting to look at and
reminisce over.
, Someone placed a sign In front of
my tent the other night, atatlng that
recruits were wanted for service in
China with the Chinese army, and
about 30 minutes after the sign was
pieced 33 members of the company
bad applied for service over there,
Wayne Herbert Olson, 19, pleaded
guilty In Justice court today to steal
ing gasoline of the value of 26 cents
from Judd Doty, and passing of sen
tence was deferred until tomorrow,
morning, to enable the city police to
catch his "John Doe" companion, de
scribed as "long and tall.
It also developed that Olson, In an
argument over a carburetor, had call
ed the complaining witness a "sissy,
Olson told the court be recently
purchased a -used auto with a down
payment and still owed $16 on the
vehicle. He testified he made from
3.76 to 14.80 per day In orchard
work, and freely admitted he "spent
his wages for a good time." He fre
quented beer parlors, with orches
tras, and danced but did not Im
bibe. "Beer Is bad for the health."
he advised the court. The defendant
also threw some light on the labor
situation, declaring no money could
be made by picking pears, because
of the time lost In packing the lad
ders from tree to tree.
The missing "John Hoe" also drives
used car, Olson said.
The manner of Olaon caused the
court to remark: "Don't try to laugh
this matter off."
Mich Mitchell Jurasevlch, charged
with larceny of an anvil and tools
from the Cass Wreklng yard, asked
further time to plead, and tomorrow '
morning was set as the time for '
pleading. Ball was fixed at 1000,
In lieu of which Jurnscvlch was re
manded to the county Jail.
