Chickamauga Park, June 14.-During
the last few days false reports to the
effect that on account of the prevalence
OF yellow fever in Mississippi there was
a proba bility of the army camp here
being moved have made their appear
ance IN a number Of papers. The Of
fiCials here are unanimously of the
opinion that the fever scare will have
10 effect on the camp here. It has been
many years since the scourge has ap-
peared in this section. and the park is
conceded to be one of the healthiest
places in the country.
Equipment Goes Steadily On.
In case OF an emergency 25,0OO men
could be sent into action from Chicka-
mauga park. These would not be en-
tirely equipped, but in such condition
that they could give a gocd account Of
themselves. The equipment work goes
steadily on and the officials are making
tremendous efforts to put the entire
army in condition to respond to any
call which may come. The work OF
equipping the Cuban and Philippines
army Of invasion has somewhat de-
layed the work here, but from now on
things viii move rapidly along this line.
The authorities can now send equip
ment here, as the other armies are pro-
vided for.

sALUTING III THE ARMY.
A Thing which volunteers Never
Learn How to DO as tae
Regulars DO 1t.

One thing which the volunteers find
1t hard to do--a thing which perhaps
they viii never do in anything like the
form in which the regulars do it's to
salute officers. Take volunteer who
is bronzed and big like a regular, and
put him in a regulars clothes and send
him out on the street, and he would
certainly betray himself as volunteer
at his first meeting with an officer.
The regular, walking on the street,
salutes every officer lie meets by rails
ing the Strengthened fingers OF his
right hand to the briIn of his hat, just
over the right eye, and keeping them
there until the officer has passed. The
volunteer cannot be made to hold his
hand there in any such way, says the
Boston Transcript.
If he saIutes strange officer Of low
rank at al, he salutes him with the
quick dash which is the regular Off
GERS salute to the private. Il the reg
ular soldier is seated when an officer
approaches in camp, on the street or
anywhere else, he rises, faces the Off
Ger, stands very erect, and makes this
salute. no one ever sees a volunteer
private do this. A regular cavalryman
trying to get his horse across the
bridge whiie an electric car was cross
ing it from the other direction. The !
horse was piunging and leaping wildly. |
and the soldier had to work hard TO /

secaud lieutenant of Ohio volunteers
came along the footway. In the midst
u his horses gyrations the mounted !,
regular managed to salute the pedes-
trian officer IN proper form. The smile
Of admiration and satisfaction on that
