CAMP PIKE NOTES
Camp Pike continues to draw
its population from new sourc
es in the west and south. This
month’s quota comes from four
states: Arkansas, 1,700, Ariz
ona, 300; New Mexico, 1,000;
Oklahoma, 7,000. Last month
the bulk of the quota came
from Iowa; in June, from Mis
souri, in May, from Tennessee.
In addition Camp Pike has
drawn havily from Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Alabama, whilp a large share
of the 87th Division came from
Camp Funston, Kansas; Camp
Dodge, Des Moines, la., and
Camp Sherman, Ohio.

long distance championship of
"the camp. When he gets into
an ordinary trench, hp is go
ing to have to tie a knot in his
legs or walk on his knees.
During the week that the
special flying squadron of the
Army Y was working in the
tent and stable area among thp
last July recruits it wrapped
5,382 packages of clothing and
sold $2,115 worth of stamps.
The big advantage ^in getting
rid of their civilian clothes be
fore being sent to the barracks
is that it saves time and the an
noyance of having to carry the
extra baggage from one part
of the camp to another.
Governor Chas. Brough con
tinues to be a drawing card at
the “Y” building. He has
spoken at most of the buildings
and is always surp of a good
crowd, for the soldiers come
perhaps out of curiosity the
first time but they like his ad
dress and come again. Hon.
Earle W. Hodges, former Sec
retary of State, has been at thp
camp a number of times in an
original monologue that goes
with the boys, and the Repub
lican political workers of the
state have been represented on
the platform by Hon. Harry
Myers.
Each parcel sent abroad to
thp solders of the American
Expeditionary Force must bear
the name and address of the
sender in the upper left hand
corner, and must bear the of
ficial designation of the unit
or organization to which the
addressee belongs. Each par
cel must have the following en
dorsement, “This parcel con
tains only articles sent at ap
proved request of addressee,
which is enclosed.”
The Army Y M C A of Camp
Pike will suffer a great loss by
the departure of Camp Gen
eral Secretary Chas. Kurtzhalz
for Camp Travis at San Anton
io, Texas. This is the largest
camp in the Southern Depart
ment and is a decided promo
tion. Mr. Kurtzhalz has been
in charge of the Y work at
Camp Pike ever sinc^ the open
ing day, and before that was
building secretary at the Y at
Fort Logan H. Roots, during
the days of the first Officers
Training Camp. Hp has been
a great force for the Y activi
ties both in the camp and in
the state and his departure
will be regretted by a large
circle of friends and acquain
tances.
V. H. Vaughn of Fayette
ville, Co. 40 and Marion Was
son of Gentry, Co. 38, both of
the 10th Training Battalion,
are two northwestern Arkan
sas men of the Junp draft who
have won their sergeancy
stripes.
One of the boys who went
back home on a furlough a few
days ago had the following to
say: “I wouldn’t accept a dis
charge as a gift. The old town
isn’t the same any more. If it
werp notfor the chance to visit
the folks I wouldn’t care any
thing for a furlough home.
The streets seemed deserted.
There are none of the old
crowd about thp cigar stand
in the cafe where we used to
loaf and chaff each other. The
home town is a lonesomp hole.
All of the fellows with anv
thing to do are in the service.
There has never been in
Camp Pike more men who
seem responsive to the call of
Christianity than at thp pres
ent time, and during the month
of July 4,677 men pledged
themselves as daily Bible read
ers, 914 who have promised to
pray daily, 1,461 decisions for
a Christian life, 716 standing
to request special prayers, and
846 renewals of pledges of
Christian purpose. With so
many constant changes in the
location of the men, the work
is rather scattering but the re
sults show that it has -been un
usually successful.
Although the army, is urgent
.in its effort to induce the men
to write home there are certain
limitations that must be ob
served in thp matter of letter
writing. A recent war depart
ment order says: “All officers
and men are forbidden to in
sert advertisements or lettrs
in any publication inviting
strangers to communicate with
them, or to enter into corres
pondence with strangers in
response to advertisements of
other invitations. Officers in
command of troops are direct
ed not to furnish names of men
to any persons who attempt in
any manner to enter into cor
respondence with soldiers with
whom they are not personally
acquainted.”
