Col. Shandrew for not arranging for Com
panies and to be on hand for drill con-
test Wednesday do net find any response at
Camp Ramsey. The captains of the two COM
panies mentioned called on Col. Shandrew
Wednesday afternoon after arriving at Camp
Ramsey ana requested TO be excused from the
drill. AS the time short, the men would
have no chance to get supper and clean up,
besides they were weary and really Gu not

that they might use Their own judgment IN
the matter, and they elected not to co. The
colonel has the welfare OF all those boys at
Camp Ra nsey On his hands, and he doesn't
propose to ieopaIdZe the health Of any one OF
them in adding any additional discomfort to
what they necessarily have to undergo IN the
pursuance of duty. In this stand the friends
of the members of the Fifteenth regiment VIII
say that the cclonel did right.

the company commanders back considerable
distance, so far, in tact as to encroach upon
the already scant parade ground so much that
