good thai a few moments after the rain
had ceased. all that could be seen was
an occasional poel of water The early
evening was warm and there were some

ed in taking care of them. There We're
some. however, who were wet and this
morning they were busy drying.
The new rule of compelling all clothing
and washed articles to be removed out OF

excellently. There was not, however,
much necessity for it before, as the men

their company streets in good condition.
The general condition of the camp is re-
markably good.
