Here soldiers too tired to drill or work are invited to luxuriate at their leisure. Notice the commodious beds. Throngs of visitors are here, with sweets and nosegays for the weary soldiers, and sweet- faced nurses hurry quietly too and fro, hither and yon, back and forth, here and there, with cooling drinks and French pastries. There is an air of stir and bustle. Notice the bustle. The great room is done in mauve and heliotrope and has ornate chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. They are in the style of Louis XV, known as Louis the Quince; and rightly so. Notice the look of expectation on the faces of the ill soldiers, They are waiting eagerly for the regular Sabbath morning concert, to be given by the Young Ladies' Jazz Band of Converse in the offing. Notice the offing. The child in the front of the picture is six years old. J GAS ATTACK

SIX YEARS AT HARD LABOR FOR DISOBEDIENCE.

Long Term Given Private in 106th In fan try for Insubordination.

Private Russell F. Perkins, Company D, 106th Infantry, has been tried and convicted of the charge of refusing to obey the com• mands of a superior officer and sentenced to six years at hard labor in the Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth. Maj. Gen. O'Ryan, re• viewing the findings of the court martial, ap• proved the prison sentence, but set aside the sentence of dishonorable dismissal from the army, so that the government may still have the benefit of his services, if they are needed at the end of his six-year term. The evidence showed that Perkins was confined in the regimental guardhouse on a minor charge, and was ordered to do some work about camp. He refused, claiming that he was ill. He was pronounced able to work by a surgeon, but still refused to work, and told an officer, "You can not discipline me. I will see to it that I go to the stock• ade this time." He got his wish. Gen. O'Ryan, in approving the prison sen• tence imposed by the court martial, wrote: "Obedience to orders is the fundamental duty of a soldier. In time of war everything is contingent upon prompt obedience to su• perior authority. The sentence in this case should be a lesson to any other such sol• diers, if there be any others, in this divi• sion."

SALUTE PROPERLY.

"The Soldier Who Fails to See an Offi• cer, Will Fail to See Foe," Says Maj. Gen. O'Ryan.

Army officers who have visited other training camps say that discipline in Camp Wadsworth is exceptionally good, and they have been impressed with the rendition of military courtesies here. Maj. Gen. O'Ryan, however, is not yet satisfied. He is trying to make the division letter perfect in the matter of salute, as in everything else, be• fore the order comes to sail for France. In a general order, he directs that special at• tention be paid to this particular matter during the remainder of the training course here. The order is vigorous in wording, and says in part: "The rendition of courtesies in this di• vision is not satisfactory. The standards of physical alertness are unsatisfactory. The division commander has personally halted men whose physical bearing and man• ner of saluting were unsatisfactory, and in nearly every instance found such men in• terested in their work and keen to correct their shortcomings. When caused to prop• erly render the salute their response was most satisfactory. "All the combat functions of the soldier in this war call for alertness, speed, aggres• siveness, precision, certainty, intelligence and endurance.

PLAYING NEW GERMAN MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.

The Germans are noted for their love of music and innocent fun. With typical efficiency, they have hit upon a device—a new musical instrument— which combines music and innocent fun. An officer of the Prussian Guard is here shown playing, "Ein, Zwei, Drei," the Prussian national song on it. Anyone can make and play one of these instruments—if he is German enough. All one needs is a stout bamboo stick, a barrel, and an African. The natives of the Belgian Congo are particularly adaptable, their minor chords being especially fine. Of course, the ideal way is to have about 24 natives of various pitches, and play them like a marimba. The Kaiser has a remarkably fine in• strument, made of 36 selected Zulus, and his rendition of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries (with his left hand only) is considered a treat by all Germans who have been privileged to hear it.

Big Guns Boom as Artillery Does Splendid Work.

"The Artillery" in the words of Brigadier General Phillips, "has long been neglected in the American Army, but now it is com• ing into its own. Until now, no Field Ar• tillery in this country has ever had such practice as we are getting here. They haven't had the guns, for one thing, and they haven't had the ' ammunition. And there has not been the opportunity that we are having here. They have allowed us about one thousand rounds of ammunition for each battery, and I do not believe any Field Artillery has ever had more than 250 rounds for practice each year. And these chaps are making the best possible use of it. It does me good to watch them at work. In fact, I don't want to miss a single shot." Can one blame the men of the Fifty-second Field Artillery Brigade for being enthusi• astic, and putting their whole heart in the work when an officer of General Phillips's experience is moved to speak so highly of them ?

REGIMENTAL NOTES—54TH PIONEER INFANTRY. 6\ Our newly-hatched baseball team is show• ing up in gerat shape. Lt. Bernstein, man• ager, challenges all first-class teams in camp. Sgt. Quinn recently had a good day, knock• ing three lieutenants for the count, by pitched balls. He claims it was accidental. The team, including "Spider" Elvia, mascot, at an early date, play the Paxton team at Asheville.

K Co. regrets the loss of its chef, Willie Dolan, who has been transferred to E Co., and appointed mess sergeant.

True to our promise, we have opened our new regimental exchange, with a stock that makes Wanamaker's look like a country- store. Sgt. McCahill is the buyer. As such, he claims exemption from all calls, and de• mands more service than a major general. Nobody demurs except the man detailed to bear the buyer's matutinal tray to his cot each day.

PERSONAL: Will exchange hat, service, one, for a quadrangular steel helmet, 8x8. Corp. Eilertsen.

It is recommended that Lt. Bernstein, when playing baseball, bat with Sgt. Clark's front door, which is wider than the regula• tion bat.
