A GLi's Impressions In the War Capital BY ED.VA HCBER. fay rac aferaafwaat Veres Rervirt.) WASHINGTON. July 16. Who has seen picture of the Empreiw Augusta, taken by the Kaiser's side, since irreat Eurooeaik war besran ? 1 am M have not. iwr i' j 'resident Wilson, 1 have seen Mrs. Wilnon by hi. i-le. Mrs, Wilson g not active in soiia! or civic life in Washington, but it imii to me she is extremely activr in the life of th! President of the United State. Surely a woman'a influenc ix at leaat helpmfr to jruicle thm nation of ours in us conduct of the war against Germany. Mrs, Wilson has the true trace of a Southern lady, and the erene loveline of her amile must work wonders in keeping the heart of our chief executive soft and unbiased in the daily irnnd of planning the greatest war this country haa ever participated in. Hhe is juat an American woman of the type our mothers were. The maaruline dash and manner of many of our modern women are entirely lacking in thia lady of the White House. She it primarily a helpmate and a home maker. I w her leaving the White House for a tour of the K street ahops ami. by the way, K street is an equal to Fifth avenue, Boylston atreet 01 Michigan avenue. But to get back to the First ldy of the La.td.

POSSESS W

Testaments Are Plentiful At U. S. Marine Training; Camp. CHANGED ATTITUDE .Seriousness of Task Brings Al teraiion of Frame of Mind of Recruit. Writing from Port Royal under lute of July 10, Lyle Stephenson, now a member of the United State Marine Corps, says! Last night as I was lying on my hunk, across from the opposite aide of tite camp flouted the strains of that Id song, "On the Banks of the Wabsh. Far way, sung by a tenor voice the arcompunimcnt of a mandolin. Uf course 1 got up and walked across camp to a place where i could hear letter. It was at that time that ie the nearer being homesick that ave ever been since i left Leb anon. The song soon ended and 1 re turned to my tent with more pride than ever in my heart that I bail from the lloosierland. "1 never stopped tp think what a onderful place this is until yster lay when 1 looked out over thi ng men while they were eating their suioier. Here you will find men f ail classes of life ami the beauty of t all is that the sons of millionaires many instances are bunk mates with fellows who have spent their woiking for a dollar or two a and each soon leums that the other has a heart, a fart which neither I ever before thought was true. If this war does nothing more than the good it has done and is doing America's social life it will have lone a great thing. These 1500 young men here have but one thought and that is for America's good and heart and soul they go into the work and trills to better fit the bodies am: inils for the protection of Old lllory think every one of these young men nave a lull realnution ot the seriousitfMrs of the situation and even though they try to cover it up with their ml laughter and boisterous back of all these, one i that they realir.e that probably many f them may never go home again. And among the belongings of a large per cent of the. men, if you were aled to look, one could find a little !e and at quiet times you can see many of them rending. One young made the remark to me the other lay when he showed me his Testament that his frame of mind had been changed entirely since he had enlisted. It is a grand thing to see a country s oung men preparing themselves, both bodily and spiritually to die for her sake. Every Day A Busy One. "Every day is a busy one here and ach find the recruit doing a different kind of work. Saturday a barge load of lumber arrived for this camp. There in no pier here so the barge was landed about a half mile from tbe shore at the bathing beach. The officer thought it could be pulled up lo a short distance from the shore but it grounded and could not be moved an inch. So fifteen hundred young men stripped off their clothes and waded out to the barge and began unloading the lumber Which they floated to the shore. We worked in the water for about three hour and during the greater part of the time It was pouring down lain. When the tidp went down we had to carry the lumber several hundred feet to get it 0 t of reach of the. tide when it came Up again. It was hard, tiresome work ant 1 expected to have a severe cold as t le result, but did not Sunday and Mor lay were spent in hauling and raryifg that lumber to the camp a 'urtance of about a mile. Our com pany will probably Be moven irom hero to the main barrack Sunday or Monday. The time I passing rapidly for which we arc glad as we want to get into the service as soon as possible. Lebanon Does Her Share. Ilianon has certainly done her share for the Murine corps for a city of ,,( pople. There are four boys from there in this camp at the present time including George White, Edison dobblna; Searle Com ley and myself and I think all of the boys are glad th:.t they have enlisted. Each is in different company bu will finish our training all about the same time. It is a great help to ail of u to be from the same town for we can be a beln to each other. "Our drills now consist mostly of r.fle work as we have had practically all the foot-movements and Miuad formations. We spend from ten days to three week on the rifle range when we get to the barrack. "I am getting the Keisirter cu;li day now and you citnnot keow hnw 'H.i-'i it I p(nei'iat.i It ic. t round of tne Lebanor. feiows first

Thornlown Mau In Camp at -Part Royal Write Uome Folk.

Beside the four Lebanon boy in the United State Marine camp at Port Royal, S. C, i one Thornton n lad, J, Boyd Johnson, who is in the Mth company. He is a son of Charles W. Johnson of Thornlown. The following extract from letter written to his parents, were published in the last issue of the Thorn town Times: June 1, 1917. "I passed the examination for th Marine Corp thi morning in fir.' shape. In fact I went thri.tig. examination, one the recruiting station and one at the doctor' of fice. "Am leaving at 2.30 for Louisville where I will take a third examination before going to the training camp at rort Koyal, s. C. June 2. 1917. "Have passed my third examination successfully and leave tonial, fatAtlanta, Ga. They gave me charge of the recruits, four in number ing from Indianapolis, gave me a written order which stated that I was in charge of the applicants and for to proceed to Louisville via Big Four on date given, then instructed when to report, etc. One of our number was rejected and sent back to Indianapol They have given me charge of the iunch leaving tonight for Atlanta. "The examination are getting more trenuous each time and if I get through can well be proud of it The sergeant told me that a short time ago a bunch passed the cxaminatii I tne way through up to the fi one at Port Koyal, where twelve out f thirteen were rejected and sent back. Hut I am not worried as I rt had a single objection brought against me on any point. June 5. 1!H7. "Arrived safely Inst night. But to go bark a litle further. Will tell what I have been doing since writine last. I had charge of the bunch from Louisville to Atlanta, and Atlanta to Port Royal, carrying the tickets anc! orders. When we got off the boat at Paris Island there were 63 of us und were put in quarantine until we can examined, outfitted, etc. "First we were given a plate, cup knife, fork and spoon, then filed by nd they dished out beef stew, frui' mice, bread and coffee to us. "'c then washed our dishes anil were given cots in a large one-story building. Also were given b inket-" oap und towels. The camp is crowded und we are looking forward to getting out of quarantine and into the regular pany quarters w here we w ill have a tent and things will tie fine. "Got up at fi:ts1, washed at a faucet and had breakfast, consisting of grits, scrambled eggs, bread and coffee. I like it better every minute and feel fine. June 9 1017. "I am now a full-fledged marine and am over on the drill grounds. Todav we were inoculated for ty phoid and vaccinated for smallpox, so I have one on each arm. "We are up at 6:00 o'clock, drill or an hour before breakfast, then drill most of the morning; after din ner more drill. June 19, 1917. "My company moved to new quarrs today, the maneuvering grounds r.'here we will get more drilling, the manual of arms, etc. The camp is fine, everything clean and sanitarv and beautiful ground. We are right on the ocean, while before camp was "even miles in at the other side of She island. "There are probably 1,500 men in this camp. We hiked over here this morning, the seven mile-!, making three halt on the way. We carried rifles, extra clothe, our full equipment. There are no buildings out here, all living in tent. I am bunking ith two Indianapolis boy and they are fine fellow. We h ve o much to learn in such a short time that we work from 5:00 in the mornimr ntil after dark. I am getting tanned and hardened and although my mus cles are pretty sore sometimes I never felt better in my life and like the ser vice better every day. Just one thing, I would like you to send me and that is newspapers, as we don't get much new of the outside world out here on the island. June 17, 1217. "Our daily program is now up at :00, wash, roll up the tent wall and clean up around the tent, at 6:00 clock, we line up and drill for about an hour. Thi includes physical drill th rifles, all kind of exercise which strengthen and hardens the muscles. Morning call is at 7:00 o'clock, then at 0 we again line up and drill until 11:30. Noon me la at 12:00 o'clock.! and in the afternoon we do very little rilling as it Is so very hot down here. Itely we have been going to the beach and gathering shells with which we lliie the side of our company .treet and in and around our tents. This makes a clean good looking ramp and you have noticed the same plan u.ed with whitewashed rocks along driveway. About 9:00 ' o'clock we take our scrub brush (each on ha on of these,) soar- and dirty clothe and tuweis und go out in liio sha'io of some palm tree and struii, Every thing m. t be t i ly eloan and if nc' when in- .acted must be dona over.

"Orraiiionally a co.i i"-.rV " lt'taibd for special work. Our company was ri' tailed one afternoon this week, one bunch built a dock, one hauled garbage, another did odd jobs

about th canm. My bunch wa de tailed to cletr a piece of ground near the parade ground so 1 swung an ax and handled a shovel for three or lour hours. We always huve something to do as we must get hardened and toughened and hard work is tne only way to get it. 1 don't mind It for though I get mighty tired t time 1 realize it is t- put us in perfect trim and lor!-'-- .i it In that way makes t e- -. '; lie training of the marines , tl'.e most strenuous of any branch of the service, but after your haid training is over vou have the finest schooling that is to be had and con ditions are better than in any part of the service.' "My company w as on guard duty the other night and I walked post for two hours We do very little work on Sundays, just a little drilling before breukfast "Be sure and send me the Times und the Indianapolis papers and keep me posted on all home new. June 2a, 117. "My training is progressing fine ind I am very enthusiastic about it. We are getting our drill down good now and it certainly looks good. "They are very particular about "eet. We wear gray wool socks and they are discarded if the smallest hole r even thin spot appeals. No darned 4oe are allowed, also the shoes are 5road and very comfortable. "Sixteen companies left this camp "or the new barracks and twelve thers came in, so now my company s the senior one here. JuncflO, I'll" "We had nkiii.iish diil! laid night. Ve would go from the march into kiimi.sh line on double time, commence firing lying on the ground, hen the first squad would cense firng, make a dash for a new position, j hen each squad in turn would dash i 'or this new line, A'ter all the squads ad advanced the company made a harge yelling like Indians. The skirnish drill is a lot of fun. The trainng is getting more interesting every lay and I vmildn't miss this experi--nce for anything. July 1, 11117. "In the nwrning we have physira1 Irill with arms and go through with ir rifles, vhich we-trh eight pounds, 'e have 10 different exercises of 16 unts each, making 160 movements n all without stopping. For instance he first is out and flown, rifle is held ii a horizontal position across chest. hrow it out at arms length, then end, rusting rifle down, keepinp knees stiff. Out is one count, hack host second count, down is 'hircl and bark to first position is 'ourth, then same thing over four imes, counting up to sixteen. These 'Xercises woik on all muscles, especiilly arms, shoulders and hark. At irst my arms got so tired they alnost dropped off, but now I can go ieai through a though J had a broom tick instead of an eight pound rifle "There is one thing 1 am going to r-arn to perfection ami that is how n handle the bayonet as bayonet 'ighting is one of the most important hinsrs of modern warfare. Just received word that we will ve to the main barracks this even- . so am getting my blanket roll "cady for the tlve-milo" hike. Have aken in mv belt about three notches Jt this swinging an 8-pound rifle all he time is giving me some shoulder nd chest development and I am as wn as a berry. Had to discontinue this letter a. left the maneuvering grounds it 6:00 p. m. and moved over to the new barracks. There were 6 comanies, about iir.O men in all. and we n arched two abreast on account of the mud. This is sure some canm have a real ilininir hull, each hall being used by two companies, and here are probably 25 mess hulls and 50 barracks. We have dandy iron cote with springs, mattress, pillows, sheets pillow cases and blunkets. also a swell er bath nn-'l sanitary condition? ire perfect. The food Is much better than at any of the other camps we have been in. "My next training will be target practice on the range, which will begin in about a week. There is a fine bunch of fellows here ami wc have some great times. I am certainly anxious to get through mv raining and off the island and into action. There is a small bunch of marines in France with Pershing and the major-general who inspected us a few days ago is reported to have said hat we will be m franco in four month. "lie sure and keep me posted on all the home news and t will write nd keep you posted on my training as it progresses.'1 e 100 Reward. $1&V Ttia rafofm of (hie eapar wilt he p!uneu lo l.-rn tltt ihr U at teaat qn dr.'MI dln.Me that aclenc. hn ban to euro In all lea !. ana in!
