WANT IRELAND Wonderful Spirit At American Lake Former Foot Ball Coach at Klamath High School Now a Lieutenant at Camp Lewis, Gives Original and Interesting Account of Conditions There A letter of, unusual Intaraat has Just been received by Principal C. R. Bowman of the Klamath County high school from Lieutenant Cheater G. Iliiffglna, now at American Lake, who vra previously a member of the high school faculty. Lieutenant llugglna seems to aenie the things about the army Ufa which are or most Interest to the outsider, and his letter, altbo quite lengthy, la to Inlet eating tbnt It Is dlflJcult to cut out any one part In Ita publication. He says, in part: I rcKrted here on December 14th In the hardest rain It haa ever been my pleasure to feel. You do not know what rain Is, there In Klamath. We had our orders to report to the conihiaulMl oilier of tbe 91st divi sion, "so we proceeded to find that aald dignitary. Wo Anally found him about one-half mile from the station, after we had ruined our proud uni forms, not to mention suck things as ahoea and puttees that we bad paid a small fortune for. After the for mality of reporting for duty waa over wo were told next to report to ths brigade commander, and that bis of fice waa a mile up tbs line. Now, keep In mind tbat this la a big camp, and tbat tbs itreeta ara about two miles long, and that tbsrs are a hair dosea or more itreeta on each aide of the Immense parade grounds. Af ter we had tramped that mile with our ault cases we were aaalgned to our quartera. Again, If any of you bare the Idea that omcere llvo like kings, that ta another of your theo rise that needa remodeling. Our R. W. Tower, who opsratss a amall sawmill about fifteen miles south of tbla city, has Juat received aa order frost Chicago for a largs quantity of lit places for use in curtain rollers. This is tks first order af this kind so far as haawa ta kava been received kere.

Shower hatha ara among tha very first thing that tbe government provides, and they Insist tbat they be used, too. We srs provided for Just exactly aa ths privates, with the exception that we hare a Sambo who sweeps out for ua, builds fires, etc. We hare little iron cot. 30 Inches wide. Just wide enough to make my bed at home seem like the Sahara desert In com parison. We offlccrs have to furnish our complete equipment, and tlio "complete equipment" covers three typewritten sheets, so you can easily ace why an officer In the United States army never gets rich. We must each be provided with such things as a waterproof bedding roll containing a mattress, pillow, blankets; catine utensils for use in campaign; all our clothing; field glasses: revelver: havreaack and pack carrier; can teen; not to mention hundreds of mailer articles. The spirit of tbla camp la abso lutely amaslng. Hundreds of the men aren't equipped for the climate, and they are forced to drill In the pouring rain, band numb, feet wet and mis erable, tbe water pouring down their barks, literally soaked to the skin; their shoes ragged and ruined and yet ths men go along singing and jonhlng one another, and take It all aa a matter of Inconvenience, but as a necessity. Uncle 8am Insists that hla arhedule be lived up to every dny. The men have ao much to do, and thoy have to do it in aplte of tho u.lll. He operates it In connection with bla ranch In that vicinity, and expecta to cut half a million feet this year.

INFLUENCE MWWWWWWWMWWMwyMWWWWWMyWi Britain's New first Sea Lord -as RlXJSf? r v 'JI E.'J& J I zxisr.-auasjxxa-s. sir. Rossktrt wLntse Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn Weniyna, who fcr noino time has been second sea lord in the DrltUh admiralty, has been named first sea lord In place of Sir Johu R. Jolltcoo. Tho change, which ling not been fully explained In Great Ilrltatn, Is believed to mean greater activity of the grand fleet. It Is possible some effort will be mado to nttack tho Germans In their hiding places outlier or anything eUe. Ills sched- ule calls lor sixteen weeks of Inten sive training here before the troops are ready for shipment, and most of tho time they are here a much longer time than that. If one who had al way? heen rather weak In hla patri otism could Just stand out hero on the pnrade grounds and watch these men nt work In water up to their shoe tops, ami saw the earnestness on their fnrcs and tho cnRorners with which they worked. I believe he would havo a ticklish sensation up and down his spine romcithlng like he has when he hears a good band play the "Star Spangled Ilanner." Tho fight and spirit of the men here Is tho talk of evcryono who see them at work. Yesterday I had occasion to rldo Into Tut-omn on n special train, and I ai)d nncther ofllcer happened to be the only olllccrs.on that car. Tliero (Continued on page t) wmmmi: .
