GUARDSMEN WORK | -~ INDRIVING RAIN One Casualty at Fort Hum- phreys When Ax Slips and Cuts T. E. Jones. IAM J. WHEATLEY, | Staft Cor The Star. FORT HUMPHREYS . August | 18.—Heavy rain greeted the District guardsmen as they Nfted their tired bodies from their bunks to the tune af reveille early today and they looked Forward to a relief from the long march into the woods and the scenes f their operations. For Lieut. George ¥. Harbin, regimental plans and train- ing officer. had prepared for a series of rainy-day lessons, the schedule pro viding for instruction in the barracks. But the downpour brought no res- pite for the men of the line, as the ardor of the officers was not dampen- éd. Raincoats were ordered and into the driving elements the troops marched to resume operations in the woodlands of the post, handling wet logs and tools. Raincoats impeded the work of many of the men, and they cast them aside to work in their field clothes, preferring to get wet rather than be fiampered by the heat of the rubber coats. Private T. E. Jones Hurt. Field operations developed one cas- Maity at the bridze when the wet han- | dle of an ax slipped from the hands | of Private T. E. Jones of Company F and the implement lacerated his leg. | "Che firstaid kit of sterile bandages which each man carries was brought into use and Supply Sergt. Leon S. Smith bandaged the wound. “The soldier continued his work and | recelved another dressing at the camp | hospital when the company returned | for the iuncheon recess. Several of the outfit were given the advantage of shelter during the morn- | ing. After a long march around the | post the band, headed by Meyer Gold- man, was sent to its barracks for morning practice, and the bugle corps, under Drum Major McDonald, after a trip in the rain found it difficult to | perform, as the water drove into the instruments, and they, too, were sent into the barracks along with the re- eruit company, which was driven from the parade ground, where it had been isolated from the remainder of the regiment until its members learn ele- mentary soldiering. The bugle corps is a mew organiza- tion and only one of its 10 men could blow a bugle when it came into camp, but Drum Maj. McDonald says that by Sunday he will match them against any other outfit of its kind and it will stand up with the best. Wearing Gloves Approved. Blistered hands are unnecessary for real soldiers it was indicated to the suardsmen by the regulars, after a number of members of the regiment had developed very sore hands from handlnig working tools during the first day in camp, and it was pointed out that it is no reflection on a soldier to wear gloves to prevent tender hands from being attacked by blisters. Unwise contact in the field with poison oak is causing irritation to some of the members, and Maj. George J. Allen, Medical Detachment, is striv- ing to relieve their suffering as pain- Jessly as possible. Gloved hands in handling some of the underbrush which has faced the troops here also would relieve the difficulty from this source, ‘This is perhaps one of the most phiotographed regiments in the field and almost every drill is punctuated by orders to appear at some spot for a photograph, The regiment is al- lotted one photographer, Technical Sergt. Frank B. Kaye, and he is kept busy making a permanent record of the faces and military bearing of the officers and men, for the second an- nual of the Guard, which is to be Cublllhed before the encampment reaks up. "Printed at the Post. Tt is to be set up and printed in the printing plant at this post by men who are printers in civil life. This glves them an opportunity for some rellef from the monotonous routine of miflitary training in the field. Bombing operations were used to relieve the routine of the camp life , today, when the machire gun nests and trenches filled with water, making 1t useless to attempt to work further on them. The troops were shown the various uses of TNT in demolition ‘weork, particularly its value in blow- ing up various kinds of structures to impede the progress of an imaginary enemy. Charge after charge sent its reverberations throughout the post, when trees were blown down by ‘what is known as a necklace, which cuts through the timber, and mining operations. The rain struck a blow late yes- terday at the base ball schedule, when a series of competitions was ‘planned for the championship of the regiment and the capture of the com- manding general's cup.

ROME, August 18 (#).—Explaining the recent arrest of five priests in the province of Udine, a semi-official state- ment issued by the governmental au- thorities yesterday calls the prelates “politicians whose unflinching opposi- tion to the regime was notorious.” “One of them received Austrians with great kindness after October, 1917,” says the statement. On the request of the Archbishop of Udine, the statement says, the arrest- ed priests, instead of being sent to jail, were confined to the local arch- episcopal college, where they have promised to remain pending the result of an appeal to Rome against sen- tences of from one to four years of forced residence by which their move- to $18.75. ments would be restricted to certain districts.
