Whipple Barracks, Aug. s--Iester-
day was memorable day in the history
of Camp Whipple, marking an achieve
ment which will ever henceforth be re-
ferred to with uncommon pride by the
gallant little band Of volunteers. Now,
don't jump at conclusions, gentle
years growth by the astounding attend

been issued. Otherwise pants like

dies on wearing apparel will be in pain
