| decline to talk about the matter there is
/ e genera! impression that some. if not all.
! Of the regiments here will be on the move
/ within very short time
/ The impression is given weight by the
( fact that the various colonies haze re-
celTed orders to make immediate rcguisi
+ ton for everything needed for M active
/ field service. Nobody knows where the
army Will go or what regiments Will move,
! but il is safe 10 say that the First Wis
1 cTnSn VIII move il any 60. One hundred
! thousand rounds Of ammunition was dis
! tributed this morning in the camp.
There is strong proba bility that Col.
t Schadel of the First Will be placed in
/ command of the Second brigade. II has
! been discovered that he il the ranking
! colonel and the change will he mad un-

when it should have been dated from the
musteringin. The Wisconsin regiment
/ was mustered i'll two days ahead of the
4 Iowa regiment. which made Schadel the
/ ranking colonel.
Maj.-Gen. Lee Will arrive here tonight
and il is expected that he will be given
a great reception. 1t is said he will have
the headquarters here while the army re-
mains.

Boys Get a Severe Drenching.

hail storm. The day had been extreme

played high jinks in it for a while. Sud
denly the wind came up, the rain turned
cold and hail began To fall. Then ev-
erybody made a rush for shelter. but IL
was difficult to obtain Il covering. Sev
/ cral tents We're blown down. Including
/ the big gospel tent. The men had 10
work hard to save the tents that did not
go down. and the officers had To get out
and hustle with the men. Over at the
hospital tents there came near being
! serious accident. \ large tree which
blew down just missed one Of the tents.
+ 1t fell in group of horses belonging 10
/ the officers, but luckily did not strike
any of them. Several limbs were blown
down from the trees. but did not do any
harm in falling
The boys of the whole regiment are get
/ ting quite used to army life and are thriy
ing on II. 1t Is interesting to see them
doing work they would scorn to do at
home. Any day men may be seen in diff
ferent parts OF the camp playing the part
i of Wa-herwom omen. They either carry
water TO their tents or take their clothing
to the hydrantS. Of which there are any
number on the edge of the camp. They
+ do not hang out their clothes on a line.
after the manner of real washerwomen,
/ hut throw them on their tents and the
sun soon dries them. Ironing is unknown
in camp. 4 few of the more faStldious
I send their clothing to the city laundries.
bur the most of them do their own wash
! ing.
1t is Il rather Curious fact that those
( who were the most dudish at home are
/ tn" most careless here. 1t Is likewise
+ odd that the men who have done the
+ least "roughing it" take more kindly 20
this life than those who have roughed il
/ before. City boys who have been used
/ to sleeping late in the morning and taking
[ life easy respond 10 the early calls more
promptly than many of their country
cousins, who have been early TistrS all
/ their life. So. too. the most willing work
ers are not the fellows from the lumber
! camps and farmS, but from the stores
! and Offices.
A difficult thing for the officers is 10
make the boys, especially the recruits.

/ derstand that sleeping at his post. when

when in the face Of an enemy, and 70
/ be severely punished even here. Col.
Schadel has had the articles Of war,
pertaining to enlisted men, read 20 the
boys in each battalion, so as 10 infor,N
! them of what is expected OF them. an
what they may expect when they =
/ fend. So far there has not bee7 much
trouble and the guardhouse has not been
! ovCrcrowded. Only one sentry has fallen
asleep at his post, and It IS safe 10 say
that he will never he guilty Of that
breach again. Twenty-four hours of
guard duty. two hours off and two hours
/ on. is no easy matter. There is a shell
road on one side OF the camp, white and
hard and without a tree within cunshot.
/ The men who do guard duty there be-
/ tween 10 o'clock in the morning and 3
. o'clock in the afternoon have a hard time
i Of il. The hot side Of a rolling mill fur
. mace does not compare with it.
