Camp Lincoln, Springfield, Ill. Company K of Wilmette, of the "Ever-Ready" regiment of the Illi- nois National Guard, are still alive and enjoying themselves, in spite of the many inconveniences incident to the sudden change from the comforts of home to the simple camp life and rigid discipline of the army. The boys are resting this evening after a pretty hard day's work of drilling, inspections, exercises, be- sides the more commonplace duties of the camp. Some of the boys are attending a special entertainment at the Y. M. C. A. tent, while many are in their tents singing, talking or writing.

Harbaugh, assisted by Sergeant C. C. Mitchell, gave the company some hasty instructions in the manual of arms, in order that we might carry the rifles in the third big event of the day. The third and last event was the evening parade of the entire regi- ment, followed by the regiment pass- ing in review before the commander, Col. Jamés Stuart. The ceremony was Very. inspiring--when the regiment was drawn up at attention, and when the retreat sounded, the national anthem was played and the colors lowered. Company K is a part of the third battalion of the regiment and makes as good an appearance as any of them. Capt. Harbaugh is up with the "Shock Units" N the German army there are certain battalions especially formed for certain emergencies too difficult for the ordinary regiments to meet. They are usually made up from among the young, vig- orous, unmarried men of the regular battalions, who are sent into this dangerous work with few chances of returning alive. These battalions are called "shock units," and they go into action only when some especial- ly difficult operation is to be exe- cuted, such as the recapture of a fort, or the attacks on positions GRAND JUBILEE Commemorating the 400th Anniversary of the Reformation best of the captains in maneuvering iathati considered impregnable. a company in the field.

The boys had to stand in line for over half an hour. Reviewed by Lowden. Sunday was marked by a review of the regiment by Governor Lowden. Major Vowell of Wilmette, who com- mands the third battalion, compli- mented Company K on the way they conducted their work during the re- view. Following the review of the gov- ernor, church services were held at the band stand, with the men sitting around on the grass. Governor Low- den was introduced by Col. Stuart and he made a short address, which was heartily received by the boys. He complimented Col. Stuart on the rapidity with which he organized the regiment, and said that he con- sidered that the boys were as valu- able as members of the Illinois Na- tional Guard, as the men, who have been assigned to other divisions of the army. Camp Notes. Private Cramer of the Winnetka Drug company has been transferred to the hospital corps. The company street has been named "Wilmette Avenue." The Ev- anston boys call their street "Davis Street." Owing to the strike in Springfield, we have been unable to get passes to go to town and the State Fair, which is now in session. Col. Stuart, our commander, is the only man living who commanded a regiment in the Civil War. A. M. Long and Erwin Kibbey, mess sergeants, have been complimented by the officers for their neat appear- ing mess tent. Privates Webber and Wright gave a dancing exhibition at the invita- tion of Col. Stuart at the band con- cert Monday evening. Private Pete Meyers, the oldest man in the company, is the youngest in activity. He goes through the drills and exercises with more ease and grace than the boys of. high school age. who do not take kindly to army dis- cipline are often placed in these "shock units." America might well tear a leaf from Germany's note book and form a number of "shock units," which may be used as occasion demands. One unit might be formed of those so- called patriots whose patriotism be- gins and ends with cheering the flag and singing the national hymns. Then there are the young, vigorous, unmarried men with no good claim for exemption who, in order to dis- qualify themselves for military serv- ice, have perfectly good teeth drawn. No one doubts the courage of a man who can deliberately walk up to dentist's chair and part cheerfully with one or more good molars. Such grit is worthy of a nobler cause. And the dentists who perform these operations may also be easily spared from the community. Add to this group the shyster lawyers who are preying on the ignorance of the naturalized foreigner by promising to secure exemption for him. Surely such ingenious minds could find some way to take a difficult posi- tion, even on the battlefield, and if the only way out were forward, and the only alternative death, they would doubtless make a supreme ef- fort to advance. Many other eligible to the "shock units" might be found, and these various units should be distributed along the battle front where they are most needed. Even if in some cases their courage should fail, their participation in these difficult opera- tions will not only save the waste of better men, but it may also clear the atmosphere of the taint of their presence.
