Items From Camp.
1t may have been the oppressive
heat, it may have been just calm pre-
ceding some military storm, but a
general feeling of lassitude seemed to
pervade Camp Ramsey yesterday.
Even the lemonade stands were de-
serted, ard over at Secretary Ran
dails residence the urbane Gene
lolled around waiting for entries of
guina piss that never came. and let
his thoughts so back to the days when
he played second base, and played it
well, fer the Norris Metropolitans.
The boys Of the Fifteenth. as soon as
they received the order Company dis
missed" after the morning drill, We're
content TO seek the shade of their tents
and doze. or TO talk over the prospects
of war providing it did not require too
much effort Several companies We're
ready for muster but for one reason
and another Companies Z and F We're
the only ones 10 take the thirty-third
degree and become full-ledged SOL
dieTs.
Lieut.. Howard had arms ready for
issue 10 Company b, but at 6 p m. he
was notified that they would be after
Il
shirts. socks and underwear for the
Fifteenth regiment arrived yesterday,
and all entire outfit will be issued TO
the boys as soon as they are ready
for them.
Eighty-tWo men We're examined by
the surgeons yesterday; seventeen Of
them were rejected. Maj. Hand took
his examination also and passed.
These fortunate ones with the POS en-
listed MEN and eight officers who were
mustered in We're the men who wore
the most radiant faces in the camp
last night, possibly excepting Ser
Seant Mcnamara, of Company B,who
hadn't been able to get all the soap
on his face since the night he didn't
take the bath.
Company A boys were busy getting
the hang Of their new guns. All day
long those who We're not on guard were
BUSY learning the gun movement. The
boys Were quick to catch on and by
night many of them had become quite
proficient in the exercise The A bows
who constituted the guard were disap-
pointed by not being allowed to carry
their pieces. but there are lots Of things
a private has to learn to do with 4
gun when on guard, that the A boys,
or some Of them, had not learned, and
Col. ShandreW thought they had bet
ter not set too precocious. 50 they went
on in the same old way with shillelahs
for weapons.
Company K viii be mustered in the
hrst thing this morning. They were
ready yesterday and marched down to
the mastering place for that purpose.
but they discovered that three of their
men were absent from camp on leave
and one being in the hospital. so they
concluded to put 1t eff until today One
half OF the regiment is now mustered
into the United States service and the
other half will probably be mustered
today ard tomorrow. Some of the COM
Dan!es are a few men short still. but
