1t has made possible the erection
Of ample. conveniant and healthy
quarters for the use Of the men, and this
can but have fine effect upon their
appearance and military discipline.
More efficient service may reasonably be
expected from the men having the use OF
such conditions. than whereas has here
toforc been the case--the quarters have
been but temporary and the accomoda-

should result from the annual drill and

work Is being pushed which will make
