Cliff Teeter Tells of Life at Camp Doniphan; No Time To Loaf There
Waste
From Revelie to Taps There Are Few Moments to
The busy life and routine of Camp Doniphan, Oka., is described in a letter recently sent from Clifford L. Robert, student at the University last year. He writes:
"The whole regenerated Camp Donphan is constructed and laid out in the form of a huge horseshoe, a mile and a half in breath and three miles in length. The entire horseshoe is inlaid with tents, mess halls, stables, racks, and a mud wall. The north extends a line of hills and drill flats, while along the southern half of the shoe are the ambulance and motor truck companies.
GET UP AT SIX O'CLOCK
"The infantry revellie call is blown at 6 o'clock in the morning. This is followed by ten minutes of physical drill, and then mess. Right now, while you watch, the kitchen as well tell you the amount of food cooked at a meal for our company of 294 men: 100 pancakes, 35 gallons of coffee, 1 quarter of beef, 40 loaves of bread.
"At 7:39 the men are marched to drill flats, where they are split up into platoons and squads, and then put through intensive military maneuvers and get the men to half dozen hover over Camp Doniphon during the morning, but disappear in the afternoon. A captive balloon also works with the artillery near the avia-
DRILL ALL AFTERNOON
"Drill hours in the afternoon extend from 1:30 till 4:00, supper coming about 5 o'clock. Retreat at six is the last formation for the tired soldiers. It is during this period of the closing day that the beautiful battalion and regimental parades, with their martial music, are staged, adding a touch of the old military splendor to the camp.
"Retreat having been sounded, the men then do whatever their fancy dictates. Some sing, some play cards, some swap stories. The great buzz of voices becomes somewhat moderated at 9:45 when the men retire to their tents. Fifteen minutes later taps sound."
Pennies Swamp Brick Needs New Register
"Gimme a cigar," said the suffering student, as he placed a nickel and a penny on the counter at Brickens.
Whereupon the nickel was rung up and the penny was deposited in a cigar box near by. Brick is seriously considering the purchase of a new cash register. Not that his register has ceased to register; but it does not register pennies, and the pennies constantly coming in, since it costs more than the price of cigars, must be accounted for. Cigars and tobacco, formerly selling at five and ten cents now sell at six and twelve cents.
