Though Camp Ramsey was filled with
visitors yesterday, 1t was a quiet day

Gov. Clough and Adjt. Gen. Nuremberg
and Brig. Gen. Bend. Gov. Clough

qualification with the manner in which

could do anything more for the comfort

| that the men were comfortable and
needed nothing more. The quartermas-
tiers and commissaries were doing all
in their power to make the men happy
and were succeeding beyond their eX-
! pectations.
The weather was more favorable for
exercise than on Saturday. and the men
held company and squad drills in the
morning. They drilled on the grass,
and all seemed to be inspired with a
determination to do the best they could.

to learn the rules Of war and the ham
ding Of arms, and the officers had no
trouble with them. The men are quick
ly picking UP the manual Of arms and
promise to prove excellent soldiers.
This Is true of every company in the
brigade. Even the recruits are show
! Ing that they realize they have en-
barked upon a serious career and seem
anxious to show that they are worthy
of it.

nights rest, and they arose in the
morning refreshed and ready for their
first full day in camp. They lost no
time in getting their breakfast and

mode Of life. After breakfast they
cleaned up their quarters and made
| things look as comfortable as possible
Then they were ready for the days
work, but as visitors were expected, no
regular programme was arranged for
them. They drilled and exercised sew
eral hours, and were then excused, but
guard and picket duty was assigned as
usual.
There was more activity among the
Second regiment men in the tents. There
are so many raw recrfts in that regi-
| ment that Col Bobleter did not feel
justified in relaxing discipline, and the
men drilled all day. In every company
street drills were going on all the time.
and even while the visitors We're crowd
Ing about them the men were Obliged
to go through their evolutions. The re-
cruits showed off well.
The men are already becoming used
TO their new surroundings and accus-
tofnlng themselves to their changed
circumstances. They are beginning to
like the novelty Of their position and
10 take care Of themselves like soldiers.
