CAMP HANCOCK. Aufeustn, Oa., Sept 21.
Walter J Hunter, a prlvato In Company
t Sixth Infantry, died thl morning In the
University Hospital, Augusta, of peritonitis.
This Is tho second death In Camp Hancock.
The first was that of Bernard MaRlnnls, of
Engineer Regiment of Pottsvllle. who was
crushed to death by a motortruck.
Tiiesday morning Hunter, whoso homo Is
at Llanerch, took a horso out for exercise,
jt was a chilly morning and tho animal
wag frisky. An hour after Hunter left
camp tho horso returned without his rider.
A detail of men wcro ordered to search for
Hunter. They found him unconscious along
the roadway about a mile from camp. He
had been thrown by his mount and received
several broken ribs and other Injuries. He
was taken Immediately to tho hospital. His
condition at first was not considered serious,
but unexpected complications Bet In Hunter
as a horso trainer by trado and had fol
lowed that business beroro no enlisted two
jeara ago Ho was twenty cars old and
unmarried Tha horse ho was exercising
belongs to Major Balrd.
Officers here will receive tho same train
ing with bayonets nnd In trench warfare
as will tho enlisted men Details from the
engineers' regiments started this morning
to dig a series of trenches near headquar
ters In which officers wilt work. The
trenches will be surrounded by barbed-wire
entanglements and prone, standing nnd
kneeling dummies will bo used for attackB.
Meanwhile other members of the engineer
regiment are learning to dig themsehes Into
the hot burning sand of the field. Under
the direction of officers Individuals choose
a spot at the end of company streets and
fall prone as though wounded. Then, with
trench tools, they excavate to a depth suf
ficient to cover them while In a prostrate
posture. Succeeding In this, tho men then
continue digging until they can kneel in
the trench. Then they continue to dig until
they are completely hidden from lew while
standing. After a sufficient nu ber of such
Individual dugouts have been constructed
they will be connected up by communicating
passages nnd thus tho trenches which In
fantry regiments will use hero will be dug
Just four weeks ago this camp was far
from Completion. Within that time the en
tire dllslon has- been moved here from
the North and completing touches have
been put to almost all buildings with tho
exception of the base hospital nnd the re
mount station buildings, which, It Is under
stood, are to be maintained here long after
the boys from the Keystono State havo de
parted for France And within a great
deal less tlmo than that tho troops have
rettled down to tho intensive training
schedule.
In the opInloT of ofTIcers this Is a proud
record for Pennsylvania. It has excited the
admiration of tho people of tho South, who
man el at the Ingenuity and resourceful
ness of their cousins from the North.
A COMPLETE DIVISION
But a greater work than all this has
been accomplished within the last week.
Kor tho first tlmo In Its history the com
plete division of the State's forces is mob
ilized In the field under n discipline which
no one would compare to that which
marked the usual summer encampments at
Gettysburg or Mt Gretna In the old days.
When the week of six days' training was
regarded a lark and an outing.-
It any soldier came hero expecting such
experiences as ho knew at Mount Grctrti
or Gettysburg, such as comparatively easy
drilling, with fun on the side, he has been
keenly disappointed There Is a sign hang
ing In the administration building warning
every ono who enters that work Is being
performed there and not play,
Itcmarkablo progress Is being made In the
training schedule Artillery regiments have
already started to build protected and
sheltered posts for the big guns. Infantry
regiments are drilling many hours a day
on foot, the majority of the men stripped to
undershirts and some of them even Btrlpped
to the waist
HEALTH BEMAHKABLr:
The health of the camp Is remarkable.
Medical officers say it Is remarkable that
bo few patients have been treated In hos
pltals In the field and also In Augusta.
There Is only one thing hanging fire which
worries all men In the field It Is re
organization. It Is understood efforts were
made to have the division preserved In
tact, but rumors had It yeirterday that this
would not be done and that It would be
necessary to bow to the Inevitable. In
Mew of this contemplated reorganization, It
may be necessary to send 2000 drafted men
here to pad out companies,

LETTER FROM A SELECTED MAN
AT CAMP MEADJ5 TO HIS MOTHER
Philadelphia Youth Has Passed Through His Vac
cination, Received His Uniform and Put to
Work Happy in New Surroundings
CAMP MCADE, Admiral. Md., Sept. 20.
Dear Mother I have been vaccinated,
Inoculated against typhoid, given a uniform
of ollvo drab with hat, shoes, leggings and
ehlrt and have met the war correspondents,
That Is my experience for the day and I
am extremely happy. If you were here and
could get a peep at me In the clothes I am
wearing you would share my Joy and feel
absolutely secure against a German In
vasion. Believe me I am some soldier Tho war
correspondents tipped me off to that fact
tonight nnd also assured me that thojy
would support me to the end. I had a sus
picion that they might entertain a little
prejudice against me because of the fact
that I was lucky enough to be ono of the
first of the selected men, but not one of
them exhibited the slightest feeling in that
regard. Singly and collectively they told
me that they had accepted tho results of
tho draft lottery and were willing to do
their bit as humble reporters
They take their work seriously and the
ICalser even more seriously. With them the
fight against the Kaiser Is personal, while
mine Is not. I am trying to, or will try to,
batter down the system of autocracy, but
tho newspaper scribes are obsessed with
tho Idea that Kaiser Bill must be fired. It
appenrs that their hatred for BUI Is not
due to the fact that he aspires to rule the
world, but because he falls to tell them
tho truth They abhor a liar and became
almost frenzied today when they recited
some of the terrlblo fibs that Bill has ex
pounded to tho world since the beginning
of the war.
Howevor, they are strong for me and
havo promised to Bee that I am well
equipped when the time comes for me to
"go over the top." Tho War Department
may forget to give me a gas mask and rifle
but they will be on the Job, bo I am quite
safe.
ENJOYING -WORK IMMENSELY
But, getting back to myself. I can eay
with all candor that I am enjoying my
work Immensely. After breakfast and while
watting to be called for physical examina
tion I was Introduced to a pick and shovel
nnd put to work on the grounds in front of
the barracks. As I shall use a pick and
shovel qulto often when I get to France, the
experience of today did me a heap of good
For two hours I picked away at tree
stumps and leveled off the rough spots In
the front garden. And then I appeared be
fore the doctors Tho first thing on the
program was tho test for a broken heart or
dislocated windpipe. Before they had fin
ished I thought they would order mo reas
sembled, but I survived, and then came the
vaccination. After that one of the doctors
squirted something Into my arm which will
guard me against typhoid. This was a lit

What seemed to uninitiated cars like
heavy cannonading began on the ocean edge
of the camp grounds anout 9:ao tnis morn
ing and lasted a couplo of hours. It was
tho first artillery praetlco the camp has
seen since this summer and the first the
batteries havo engaged In since they left
the Mexican border
They were throwing three-Inch shells
and shrapnel at targets anchored two miles
off shore. This 'was light artillery, and
great was the air disturbance and noise.
The air was full of volcanic, splitting waves
that bowled men about and occasionally
tjirew them off their balance altogether.
The batteries firing were B, of Camden,
and C, of East Orange. Captain Dlttes
commanded Battery B and Lieutenant Frits,
acting for Captain Eaton, who Is on sick
leave, commanded the other battery.
Lieutenant Howard Van Winkle, who has
been assigned to the signal corps as In

A troop train of nine cars bound there from
El Paso, Tex., and which passed through
Philadelphia yesterday, stopped at Sea Girt
five minutes while the track was being
cleared ahead. The Texans had been on the
road five days and their train was covered
with a fine white dust that looked familiar
to many of the soldiers, who rushed over
from Camp Edge to greet them. There was
a. lot of cheering on both Bides and the
band played.
There was an entertainment In the Y. M.
C. A. tent last night by the people who
came over from Asbury Park. Miss Mary

CONGRESS GIVES HEED

and ShatTroth Mining
Claim Measures
WASHINGTON, Sept 21.
Having drafted tho men for an army and
appropriated huge sums to train and equip
them. Congress today turned to the wel
fare of tho fighting men. As a result fa
vorable action Is expected on three of sev
eral measures pending.
These are the war Insurance bll, the
soldiers and sailors' civil rights bill, and
the ShatTroth Joint resolution relative to
mining claims,
A Senate subcommittee was today com
pleting work on the Insurance bill pre
paratory to reporting to the Finance Com
mittee tomorrow Its passage by tho Sen
ate Is forecast for early next week The
Houso has already passed It
Tho bill provides monthly allowances for
dependents of soldiers and sailors and gives
the enlisted men the prlvilego of buying
Government Insurance at a low rate
Another committee prepared for discus
sion of the civil rights bill tomorrow. Sen
ator Reed Is opposed to administrative fea
tutres of the measure, which may be
amended
The bill prevents creditors taking any
entlsted man's property or his equity In any
property while ho Is absent and unable to
defend a suit It also prevents life Insur
ance policies from lapsing and protects
families against eviction for non-payment
of rent
In addition. It prevents debtors of business
men called from escaping their debts by
providing that the statute of limitations
shall not run against accounts owed to sol
diers or Bailors.
The ShatTroth resolution, already adopted

of Leader Kltchln In the House. It sus
pends that part of the mining code which
requires 8100 worth of Improvements on a
mining claim the first year. The House also

Gorman and Burke will mako good If In

from tho twelfth district for a two-mile

soldierly manner that both won praise from
Lieutenant T. It Fitzgerald, of Washington,
who Is In command of the delegation.
"The boys march llko regulars." said
Fitzgerald, as he led them over Camp Meado
streets. "There N not a straggler in tho
crowd, and everybody eeema willing to
learn It Is a line body of mon, and I am
pruud to be one of the officers."
The Phlladelphlans were kept busy to

lined them up outside of their barracks In
Section II and gave them some advice In

"You boys must remember," began the
officer, "that' this 1b your home and you

CAMP DIX, Wrlghtstown, N. J Sept 31.
Tho largest procession of "Nationals"
that havo et entered Camp Dlx, camo In
nt noon today. A special train of eighteen
cars enmo ns tho South Jersey con
tingent, wrawn from Camden, Gloucester,
Balem, Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland
Counties. As they streamed up tho hot
dusty two-mile road from Camp Dlx sta
tion It lookod llko a typical mob of
bleacherltes turning out to a double-header.
They wcro chuck full of tho repartee of
tho bleachers and had nmplo opportunity
of exercising that very American talent on
tho Delawaro "rookies," who crowded the
barracks windows of tho 309th machine
gun battalion. By reason of their two
day's servlco they thought it bocomlng to
vent their sarcasm on the Incoming rookies.
"Thank God we Btllt got the navy," said
nn ox-farmer from tho peach lands as he
gazed at the perspiring and dusty soldier
material that plodded up the road. Pathetic
ally baggagelcss, but tho tired and hungry
Jcrseyltes had lots of "come backs" and
from tho nature of their retorts. It would
appear that they would be glad to take on
tho Delawarltes as samples of what they
are going to do to tho Huns.
Hvery contingent arriving evidences a
strong spirit of comradeship, due to the
fact that many men havo been pals In
their districts and because they develop
many friends en route. All of which shows
that It Is a wise policy of the general staff
to keep mea from each section together and
to profit by tho sectional pride and rivalry
that It Inspires.
The first and most Important formality
of mess w as tho first event on the program
for Jersey lads, and their aluminum mess
