The boys from Philadelphia who are train ing to fight the forces of. autocracy want to do more than their bit. Fighting Is their role In the great world drama, but fight Is not enough for these chaps when anything else Is to be done, and. mindful that their Uncle Sam needs money to feed them, clotho them and to buy am munition for their guns, they are going to buy Liberty Bonds. And they are going to buy a big pile of them Vo; Just what amount nobody would dare guess, for that will all depend upon the efllclcncy of tho proposed cam paign. The opening gun of Little Pcnn's Liberty Bond campaign was fired early thsl morn ing by Walter C. Hoban, the Philadelphia cartoonist of 1622 South Broad street. Hoban is a member of the 312th Heavy Field Artillery. "Wo are ready for action," said Hoban, "and are waiting to recelvo firing orders from the Philadelphia Liberty Loan Com mittee. When that organization completes a plan for our Liberty Bond campaign we will start a fire that can be heard In Ber lin. The boys are enthusiastic and can be depended upon to make things hum when tho Philadelphia committee sends Its rep resentatives." """Selling Liberty Bonds to soldiers and sailors Is not new, for during the cam paign waged In June sailors at the Phila delphia Navy Yard organized teams aboard several battleships and engaged in a lively battle for first honors. Men at Camp Meade have taken tho same' attitude toward tho Liberty Loan and assert that they should be given the right to participate. 2V big majority of tho men," said Ho ban, "are single and contend that they can buy $60 bonds on the partial payment plan without making any great sacrifices. They also feel that It develops the saving habit and. If they feel that way about It, they ought to bo given the right to enjoy the privilege of aiding Uncle Sam to float the loan." A. T. Turner, of the banking firm of Har per & Turner, Philadelphia, has been re quested to arrange the details for tho Camp Meade campaign. Officers at Little Pcnn today faced tho problem of handling deserters Trom the National Army. Despite the splendid spirit exhibited by tho men and' their willingness to make sacrifice In order to put tho Seventy-ninth Division In the front rank of National Army divisions, many men have forgotten their oath of allegiance and, disregarding the severe penalty Imposed upon deserters, have left the camp.- How many have deserted cannot be as certained, but tho number Is sufficient to cause uneasiness at headquarters. In general orders Issued at headquarters, officers have been warned to guard against desertions and also to treat the offenders with consideration when they are appre hended. A few hava been caught and are now In regimental guard houses awaiting trial. No official statement concerning tlie pun ishment that will bo meted out to these men. Is forthcoming, but In all probability the men will escape with HgKt punishment. Although the attitude of General Kuhn toward the deserters Is one of leniency he - has made It plain that the men must realize ' and Immediately that they are members of the United States army and that desertion will not be tolerated. The action of the deserters is not con sidered lightly and the stain upon the Seventy-ninth Division Is felt keenly by the men. The voiced their opinions very freely today and expressed their contempt and dis gust for men who desert during the period of war. f Ono of the desarters Is said to be n non commissioned officer who won his stripes within forty-eight hours after his arrival, Civilian cooks are causing more trouble for the men. Scores have left or have given such wretched Bsrvlce that they have re ceived discharges and their work is being taken up by enlisted men. VThese men at best can do but little, but tho selected ser vice men are making the best of things nnd living In the 'hope that the cook situation Will soon be adjusted. Hundreds of rllles and overcoats were issued today, but weeks will elapse before the men are given ammunition. Overcoats were welcome, too, for a. bltine-wlnd swept the camp today. That a band of professional pickpockets la working on the Washington,! Baltimore and Annapolis trains developed today when It becamo known that the civil authorities of Anne Arundel County had arrested more than twenty since Saturday night.
