IT IS TO BE CAMP MORRIS.

IT IS TO BE CAMP MORRIS. Joints About the Coming Work of the c. N. c. at Mantle Next Month-The Brigade Orders-InterestinE Changes to Occur Under the New Regula- tIons to Correspond With the Fsd- eral Military Code. | It will be Camp Morris this year, in lonor of Governor Morris, it being cus- ;omary to name the camp ct Mantle in ,onor of the commander-in- chief of the ). N. G. in his first year as governor of l ,ur little but notable commonwealth. The brigade orders just out announce the fore 1 going fact and add much else of interest to | the soldiers who are going to camp this year. Following is the daily routine, there being no change of note since last year:
 Reveil1e, 5:45 a. n; sick call, 6; break fast, 6:s0; police call, T; company drill extended order 7:3O to 8:45; inspection of quarters, 8; guard mounting, g; battalion drill 9:45 to 10:45; regimental drill, 1O:45 to 11:45; orderly hour, 12; dinner hour, 12:3O; school call, 1:30; battery and ma chine gun drill, 1;sO to 3:5O; police call, 3:3O, regimental parade Second and First regiments, 4; regimental parade, Fourth and Third regiments, 4:30; brigade forma- tion, Wednesday and Thursday, 5:15; re- treat, 6:25; supper, 6:30; tattoo, 10; taps, 1O:3O. Guard mounting on Monday, the day that the troops go into camp, will be held at 4 p. m.
 Strict discipline is to be maintained. Such is the purpose in view, and of course no variations from the letter and spirit of the orders will be indulged in. The orders say that at taps, lights in the tents of en- listed men must be extinguished and there after no noise will be permitted. No con- pany will be left at any time without 8 commissioned officer in charge, who shall see that all orders and regulations are obeyed. All officers and enlisted men will be required to mess within the camp lines and passes will be issued by regimental separate company and battery commanders only in cage of urgent need and not ex- ard all passes must be countereigned at brigade headquarters. The provost guard will be instructed to arrest every enlisted man outside the lines unable to show a pass and DO officer will be allowed to voueh for an enlisted man without @ pass unless on detached duty under command of such officer. Heretofore 1t has been the custom of the soldiers to roam over Mantle dur ing the day time, but from the above it is the intention to keep the men entirely within the guard lines unless they have ex- press permission to go out. For several years past the residents of Niantic have of the soldiers, but from the order above noted they will probably be protected this year.
 Continuing, the orders say: Commanders of regiments and battalions are directed to notify their organizations that officers and men keep their coats on and buttoned when not in quarters. The habit ot loungipg about in shirt sleeves and with coats unbuttoned, has subjected the guard | to criticism, and particular attention should | be given to this requirement..
 The First and Separate companies vii be encamped as such, but for the purpose of guard mounting and at brigade forma tions they will form as provision bat ! s. Lathrop, who will detail a lieutenant a acting adjutant, and on all formations re | quiring 1t these officers will sppea ! mounted.
 l Captain Walter FitLmaurice, aid-de
 camp, is detailed as acting provost mar
 shal, in addition to his other duties Com
 manding officers of the First and Secoat
 regiments are ordered to direct First Lieu
 tenant Sidney M. Leonard end Secont
 Lieutenant James F. Plunkett of their re
 spective commands to report to Captail
 Fitzmaurice at 4 p. m. on August 21 fo

 sponsible for the instruction in that drill
 The orders close with the announcenen
 that the brigade will be reviewed on Fri
 day, August 25, at 3 p. m, by his excel
 lency, Governor Morris.
 | The assignment for the coming band COT , certs at brigade headquarters for the cou ing encampmsnt has been made as fo
 lows: Monday evening, Second regimen
 band; Tuesday evening, Fourth regimen band; Wednesday evening, First regimen
 band, and Thureday evening, Third reg the week, when not assigned as abov ! noted, the bands will give concert at th colonePs tent of their respective regiments Niantic's grass has had clean shave. . ia as closely cropped as the moving m,
 chine could cut it. Next week Friday tt ! work of transporting the tents, blanke
 and other small equipments from the @
 ssnal to the camp will begin and on tl | Monday following large force of men wi
 be at work erecting the tents. Everythin
 will be fine shape by August 21, the da
 for the arrival of the brave soldier boys.
 This year the locations of the differe1
 regimental and battery organizations wi
 be different from heretofore. The lir ! will be the game as last year. The Secon 1 regiment will have the right position, sn | then will come the Fourth, First, Thir,
 Separate companies and Machine Gun ba ! tery in the order named. Last year u
 Machine Gun platoons had quarters wit
 their respective regiments, but this ye,
 the platoons are mobilized and will cam
 together. The Signal corps of the for
 regiments have been mobilized also, an
 will be quartered in the rear of the heat ! quarters of the brigsdier general, near tt
 hospital.
 l Heretofore the battery of artillery hs , ! been located in front of the left of the lin year the artillery will be placed in the res of the machine gun battery, facing eas
 The hospital corps will be located in tt
 rear of the surgeons of the regiments. Perhaps the most important changes all are those made to meet the requtr ments of the commandant's battalion consisting of two majors, two battalion at jutants and two sergeant maj jors for eac | regiment. The tents of the field aud sta will be placsd some distance to the rear ( the former position. On each side of thes . tents, so that the rear will be on line wit |, ! the front, will be the quarters of the major battalion adjutants and sergeant major The company streets will be arranged s that the majors will have in front of the tents open streets, not so wide as tho, ] facing the quarters of the colonels, b, sufficiently wide to give good view of u ! parade ground
 The entire length of the color line wi ! be 1908 feet. Tue Second and First reg ments, each of which has ten companie will occupy 403 feet front, and the Four. and Third regiments, with eight compani each, will have 355 feet each. The rest
 the ground will be occupied by the sepa
 ate companies and the Machine Gun ba ! farv
