\ man who spend 400 days in
Southern prisons during the civil
war said he could nearly always
pick out the men who would be
carried out on stretchers. The
men who would set themselves to

1t is quite interesting to note
the change in the spirit of the
men at the New York camp dur

who were swearing at the govern.

now take a brighter view of their
life. Col. Barber and his officers

thing to do Col. Barber is solving
one of the hardest problems that
faces the officers of inactive volun

from sickness when laying around
loose in camp, than in an active
fighting campaign. They have
more time to think of themselves,
and allow the little mole hill
worries to mount up into serious
grievance mountains. Homesick-
ness in its worst form attacks the
men when they have nothing in
view but the regulation drills and
guard duty. Volunteers who
