i BISMARCK: DAILY: TRIBUNE BELGIAN WAR PRISONER ON HIS WAY BACK Jerri Van Hoff, After Escaping from Hun, Is Anxious to Meet Him Again VETERAN IN CHARGE HERE Sergt. Martell Was Formerly Stationed at Ft. Lincoln— ‘Aide from McClusky Captured while battling vallantty with a Belgian lost hope; a victim of every form of brutality which Hun! fiendishness could devise during six months’ captivity in a German prison camp; finally escaping to Holland and thence, through aid of a brother-in- law residing at Dickinson, to America, Jerri Van Hoff, Belgien soldier is now on his way back to Germany to “Get the Kaiser.” \When Jerri gets him it will be in the uniform of the United States of America. Van Hoj enlisted at the Bismarck recruiting office this week for service in the U. S. regular infantry. The'only thing which pre- vented the Belgian from enlisting earlier was a wound which he sus- tained when he was captured by the Huns, more than a year ago. Van Hoff knows more about German atrocities than ever has been or can be written. He has seen them with his own eyes. He has been a victim of many of them. He is a seasoned soldier, trained, fully recovered trom the effects of Hunnish abuse, and he has but one idea—‘Get the Kaiser.” He might have remained in safety on his brother-in-law’s farm near Dick- inson, earning more money than he ever dreamed of before. But that was not Jerri's idea of a man’s duty at this time. A traveling representative of the; Standard Oil company, drawing $2500 per annum, over the draft age, and with a family, signed up at the Bis- marck recruiting station this week to fight for Uncle Sam. His wages will be $30 per momh and keep including medical and dental attention and amusement. This particular commer- cial salesman had an idea that Uncle Sam had greater need for his services than John D./ and is.on his way. Sergt. R. F. Martell now is in charge of the Bismarek station, with Corp. C. A. Swartz as assistant. It.is not new territory to either of these veteran fighting men. Martell was with the First U. S, cavalry when it was sta- tioned at Fort Lincoln, and Bismarck seems like home to him. When Swartz retired a veteran, he took up his home at McClusky, where he resided until he learned that Uncle Sam again had need for his services: “We want to send 50 men a month out of here,” said Corp, Swartz this morning. ‘We need them, and there is no reason why. we shouldn't have them.” , “When one stops to think of it, there’s‘no finer opening in the world for the average young fellow than the regular army, Uncle Sam takes a young man, educates him, trains him in some useful trade or occupation, and all of this time he pays him $30 the month, takes care of his depend- ents looks after his medical and den- | tal bills, furnishes him with amuse- ment and generally gives him better treatment thaw he could get at home. If anybody else offered this much the young men would jump at it.” Buy W. 8. 8. GUSTER READY 10 GREET 3,000 _ DAKOTA BOYS Michigan Camp Making Ready to Receive Flickertail Contingent ARE WELL: ENTERTAINED Wolverine Towns Have Made Special Preparations for the Soldiers By BURR OSBORN Editor of Camp Custer Edition of “Trench and Camp.” Camp Custer, Mich., July 9.—Before so very long some 3,000 North Dakota boys will be on their way to Camp Custer, headed for the introduction to our well known National army. Prob- ably most of these lads know little about army camps in general and still less about this particular canton- Ment and s0, as one of the original in- - habitants of the village, I am extend- ing these few words of information and greeting to the selects from North Dakota who are scheduled to come to Camp Custer the latter part of July. Camp Custer is located in the south- ern part of Michigan, about seven miles west of the City of aBttle Creek. Although the Michigan Central rail- road runs through the northern part of the cantonment, there is no station and trains on this road do not stop in camp.” The only railway into camp is the electric-line from Battle Greek, operated by the Michigan Railway company.. Jitney busses run to the limits of the camp and a jitney line is in operation inside the camp. When the Dakota boys arrive after their trip gast; they will be switched into camp. on a sidnig running up from’ Battle Creek and will strike the extreme easterly end of the bar- racks, Here they will leave their train and go immediately to the receiving station, where they will have a pre- liminary examination and will be as- signed to ‘a barrack-~temporarily. Vithin the next few days they will réceive a.complete physical examina- tion; innoculation against typhoid and vaccination for smallpox. For two weeks they will be. in quarantine. although that term in this camp does} Einney’s Drug Store, Bismarck, N. D. | not imply the complete isolation that it does in civilian life. The buildings at Camp Custer are numbered, beginning at the easterly end of the camp and extending to the westerly end. At present the canton- ment is occupied by the 85th Division of the National Army, but it is expect- ed that by the time the Dakota men reach here this division will be on its way “over there.” have some 3,000 men housed in tents, as well as about 35,00 in barracks. When the boys from North Dakota arrive they will find the army Y. M C. A. on the job and anxious to serve them in every way possigle. TheeY. has eight huts for enlisted men in this camp. They ‘are numbered 86, 181, 303, 445, 605, 960, 1260-and Base Hos- pital Station. It would be a good stunt for members of the increment coming here to jot those numbers down and on arrival look up the near- est Y building at the first opportun- y. The Y. M. C. A. offers many kinds of service. A chap can get station- ery stamps, magazines, books, athletic equipment and newspapers there. Each hut has a piano and a victrola. During the week there are movies, ed- ucational lectures, religious, services, | musical entertainments and athletic! programs in the huts and on the out- | door platforms. These ,are all abso- “PRISONER'S EATS FOR A WEEK Just now we |* lutely free. One of the first uses which a new soldier finds for the Y! is when he gets ready to send home! his civilian clothes.
