Kiniry, who is at present statloned at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass., being among the second five to leave this city under the selec- tive military law. Private Kiniry ex plains in detail, in the following let- ter sent to his uncle, Postmaster Wil- llam W. Fagan of Kensington, his firs experiences and impressions of camp life: “Camp Devens Is not a temporary camp. Concrete roads are being con- structed about the camp grounds that will last for years. It seems to me that even though the war should end to- morrow this camp will always be used. Look forward to compulsory military training. “Upon arriving at the camp each recruit is given a hurried examination. The purpose of this examination is to | determine whether the new candidate for the army has good teeth and is free from contagion. He is then es- signed to his particular outfit where he is given three woolen blankets, a small wooden cot, a mess kit consist- ing of a frying pan, tin plate, knife, forlx and spoon. Each man has to wash and dry his own mess kit after each meal. A large canvass bag ls also given to the new soldier. When this bag is filled with straw it serves as a matress. We are also given a poncho. A poncho Is a rubber ccat, that s, it is a cape and if properl folded with two blankets can be mu into a fine sleeping bag. “The army officlals are very strict about cleanliness. Each man has t) bathe three times weekly and as therc is no hot water in camp these show- ers are loked forward to with keen anticipation. “The first morning we were In camp we were taken to an emergency hos- pital where we had to undergo a thor- ough physical examination. Upon passing we had to be vaccinated and innoculated. Each man has to be in- noculated four or five times. I got my first “shot”, as it is called, about nine days ago and it was for typhoid. “We all like it here. If the first five per cent. is a fair specimen of the men who are to make up the new national army it is going to be some organization. “The officers and the non-commis- sloned officers are all gentlemen. The) have a great deal of patience and take particular care that each man learns the various movements. “So far I have found the army a very democratic organization. There is no need for a fellow being lonesome unless he so desires. The food here is fine. While we get no fancy dishes evérything is good and wholesome. Our outfit is a machine gun company. The battaljon is to be made up of 720 men and composed of four companies of 170 men each and a headquarters company of 40 men.” EVENTS TONIGHT Superior photo plays, Lyceum the- ater.

'SMOKE IN THE NOSE FOILS GIRL RECRUIT She Gasped and the Policeman Does the Rest A_\'C\\' York, Sept., 20.—Having rather naive ideas about the way men are examined when they try to get into the United States Army, Miss Freda Hart, the 18 year old daughter of a farmer living near Candor, Tioga county, New York. saw no reason at all why she could not become 2 sold- ier and fight beside her finance so long as she kept her hair short, wore trousers, smoked cigarettes and talked through her nose, that being her idea of the proper method of acquiring masculine tones, And all this she did, too, and man- aged to get as far as the Communi- paw station of the Central railroad of New Jersey, and there she sat down to wait for the train that was to take her to Washington and the 307th regiment, the outfit which she proposed to join. The thing that kept her from getting further was the fact that she wasn’t satisfled ‘with talking through her nose; she had ta go and get reckless and “try to blow smoke through it, and during the ensuing period of utter despair she came to the attention of a policeman of the well know = lynx eyed variety. She is now under detention in the Mercer avenue headquarters of the Young Women’s Christian association in Jersey City, waiting for her papa to come and take hre home. Miss Hart told Lieut. Moulton of the Fourth Avenue police station, Jer- sey City, where she was taken by the lynx eved copper, that she was en- gaged to Lieut. Anton D. Hathaway of the 307th regiment of infantry and that when her fiance went to war she declded to follow him. She was in "New York then, having come here last January because Candor was so Very unexciting and was running a telephone switchboard at the Y. W. C. A. in 600 Lexington avenue. So she decided to Join the Liecutenant's regiment, but realized that first she must become a man so far as possible. Oh, Those Cigarettes. It was easy enough to have her hair clipped and don trousers, and it wasn't so very hard to acquire the masculine tones, but she had a lot of trouble with her cigarettes, but after several periods of intense agony fin- ally mastered the art of smoking. Then she felt that she was ready for the Great Adventure, and forthwith set out for Washington, and from there she intended to go to Spartan- burg. She strode briskly into the Com- munipaw station, and finding that she had two hours to wait for her train walked into the smoking room. Everybody else in there was smoking, so Miss Hart borrowed e cigarette from a man sitting near her and lighted it. It was a terrible piece of work, that cigarette was, but Miss Hart was afraid to throw it away—she realized Name ...... Age s Address ........ Parents’ Name When Enlisted .. In Army or Navy (Fill This Out and Return From New Britain Patriots Enlisted in the Nation’s Service. In What Branch = Nearest of Kin ar ~o parents) that an honest to goodness man must be able to smoke almost anything that is labelled tobacco. So she smoked and smoked, and got paler and paler, and then that lynx eyed copper had to come snooping around. He glanced sharply at Miss Hart, because it oc- curred to him that she had awfully funny ears for a boy, and she, desir- ing to impress him, drew a lot of smoke from her cigarette and tried to blow it through her nose. The smoke got lost and proceeded to distribute itself through her in- terfor. She coughed and spluttered and was in such utter despair that the kindhearted copper came over to where she had collapsed on the bench.. He put & kindly hand on her shoulder. he asked. ! sald Miss Hart. The policeman took a look at her and Immediately got fascinated with her small ears. He jerked her cap from her head. : “By golly!” he exclaimea, * awfully funny ears for a bo: “I'm not a boy!"” moaned the de- spairing girl, “I'm a girl! I want to go home!” Which she will do as soon as her papa come CANNOT VOLUNTEER IF ONCE EXEMPTED Ruling Provides That Men Excused From Draft Are Not Acceptable in Other Service. Hartford, Sept. 20.—No person who has once been called by a local draft board can -thereafter enlist in the army, even though exempted from draft. Superseding the instructions issued to recruiting officers for the army, September 10, in accordance with which men rejected, exempted or dis- charged by local draft boards might volunteer for enlistment, new instruc- tions have been received at the Hart. ford recruiting station, today, as fol. lows: “Compiled rulings of Provost Mar- shal General provides that persons may not be ‘exempted to permit them to enlist’ nor. under the president’s regulations, may a person who has once been called by a local board thereafter enlist, even after he has been exempted or discharged from draft. This regulation may be modi- fled by the president after all quotas are filled, but for the present, ex- empted or discharged registrants may not enlist voluntarily. It is further to be remarked that an application of an exempted or discharged man to enlist would be ground upon which a loocal board might inquire whether his cer- tificate of exemption or discharge ought to be revoked. This will su- persede instructions issued to all cen- tral auxiliary stations, dated Septem- ber 10. 1917.” At least one man was enlisted un- der the ruling of Sept. 10 at the Hart- ford station.
