(United Press Staff Correspondent) Camp Bobleter, Fort Snelling, Minn,, June 29.—Although Minne- so national guard is hundred perfectly good miles from Mexico’s border, the Minnesota hos- pital corps became prominent in camp activities today. Physical Exams. seventeen Every reeruit and ‘“old guard” here today was given a strict phys- ical examination. Gophers don’t usually show signs.of physical debili- ties. The climate here seems to for- bid that. So there were not a great many of the boys sent back home be- cause of the examination. There were a few, however, de- clared physically unfit. These were the men who rumor said had mur- mured against the federal oath. Just the murmuring was enough. No matter how fit they really were, they were barred from service because, of- ficers said, men who don’t want to fight, are not wanted to fight. Dance in Evening. Guardsmen are experiencing real hardship in getting dancing part- ners. They have been forced in their evening dances to select half of their number, tie a white band around their arms to characterize them as “ladies,” and-dance with them on the hard_ground of the company streets. Guardsmen who don’t spend their reading letters from ‘“back home,” and reading their local newspapers. Papers Hard to Get. These newspapers from home are hard to get. Members of the guard today appealed to their friends and relatives “back home,” through the United Press, for the home paper. They can get all the city papers at the camp, they say, but it’s the home paper they want. Those guardsmen having the papers are always sur- rounded by others from their home town. Anti-typhus units were adminis- tered to some members of the guard today. Dr. A. J. Sheeley of the Uni- versity of Minnesota is in charge of this work. Three treatments will be given every man at intervals of from seven to ten days. These treatments usually make the recricant quite ill for a few hours. Shortage of Uniforms. Some officers today admitted that it would be impossible for all the guard to get away before the first of the week. This is on account of a shortage of uniforms, blankets and other articles of bedding. Guard of- ficers won’t forward their men until this equipment comes.’ % Guard officers today appealed to the United Press to ask visitors to the camp to salute Old Glory, waving over regimental headquarters, at the entrance to the infantry camp, where the majority of visitors go. They ask that civilians bare their heads when passing the flag. Such action is not required of civilians, although sol- diers are required to salute it. “The flag and what it represents is what we are fighting for,” one guardsman said today. Engineers Arrive.
