Camp Daniel II. Hastings, Mt
Gretna, May 12.-Although officers and
company clerks worked at the mus
ter rolls and other papers until or
o'clock this morning, the Thirteenth
regiment failed to complete it's muster
ing in today.
A delay in getting Company A in
presentable shape is responsible for
the failure of Colonel Coursen's plan
to muster the whole regiment before
the day was out. The confusion due
to losing its captain and second lieu
tenant was one handicap, but this was
overcome and the company was neck
and neck with the best of them when
along comes word that Corporal
Gunster had been Drdhnoted to batta-
First Lieutenant Thayer had been re-
jected by Surgeon Hall.
Another set of papers had to be
made out, and as no erasures or the
like are permitted on the muster rolls
every one of the triplicate muster rolls,
record rolls and what-not other rolls
had to be made out anew. 1t was
simply physical impossibility to get
the work done before Z o'clock, the
hour at which the mastering office
closed tonight, and consequently Col
onel Coursen and his staff are still
plain Pennsylvania militiamen. The
whole division, with the exception of
ten companies, is now a part of the

Camp Daniel II. Hastings, Mt. Gret-
ma, May 12.-The regimental surgeons
complimented Captain McCausland. of
G, on the physical quality of his squad
of recruits. Only three of them We're
rejected and they were only incapaci-
tated because of slightly defective
vision. Company G. boys are recruited
from all over Susquehanna county,
and are a sturdy, lusty lot. SiX-foot-
ers are the rule rather than the eX-
ception and besides, they are a clean
cut, intelligent-looking body Of men,
who give promise of making a model
company.
Sampson will fail 20 find anybody to
engage or something else equally ter
rible will surely happen! 1t rained in
Lebanon and all the country about yes
terday afternoon, but no rain fell at
Mt. Gretna. There was a compare
lively gentle shower during the early
morning hours, but before the men got
out of bed it had virtually ceased and
not being a heavy shower, had but
little ill effect.
