CIOugh and Party Visit the
Grounds-Lieut. Hubbard Going
to Jacksonville.
The weather man took command at
Camp Ramsey yesterday and handled
things his own way. 1t was too cold
to make resting comfortable, and
general dumpy feeling pervaded the

every company turned out for some
sort of a drill. The machinery sheds
We're occupied by such of the com
panies as were on the ground early
enough. These had loading and firing
practice and arm work in comparative
shelter.
Gov. Clough and party, consisting Of
Col. Barrows and wife, w. H. McMul-
len and wife. Col. Monort, Miss Spcer
and Mrs. Lieut. Barrows, came out
during the afternoon. They brought
along lunch and entertained Company
A commanders at company headquar-
ters. They remained until battalion
parade by the Third battalion, under
Maj. Hand, in which a splendid record
was made by three companies. An or
der was given them designed to catch
the boys if they were unWary, but only
one of the companies bit 1t seemed
to please the COMMUNICATIVE chief
greatly.
Col Shandrew's condition yesterday
was much improved. His mind is C ear
ing and he is physically strong. Yes
terday, in answer to question as to
how he felt, he answered Fair" This
would indicate that he had made quite
a stride in the twentyfour hours pre-
viCus. At that time he could only pro-
nounced words when led by the ply

derson reported Col. Shandrew's condi-
ton as about the same. This would
indicate that the improvement was
slight, if any, in the past twenty-four
hours, from DR.. Hendersor's point of
view.
The only thing to relieve the monot-
ony of the dreary day was the organi-
cation OF a kangaroo court by Com
pany B. For first session they had
an overlooking docket. Sheriffs O'Brien
and Burns were the hardest worked
officials in the regiment. Batch after
batch of criminals, charged with ev-
cry crime on the kangaroo calendar
from being busted" to slowness at
meals, were brought before his honor
ed to view life through smoked glasses.
Everything had such a dark hue; the
unfortunate prisoner got the worst of
close decisions. The books show that
103 unfortunates were before the court;
there were none with charge not
proven as the Scots say Punish
ments were administered with a large
pine paddle, mems size, and the lord
high eXecutioner knew his business
well. Several from other companies
than were gathered in on grave
charges. Three company cooks, among
the number, We're charged with not
dishing up grub fast enough. They

Those with shoulder straps only
were safe, the cadi spared none but
sheiks. Corporal Brown was made to
feel warm. and Sergeant Gordy, of A,
will play in Company BIS yard no more.
I Court will hold regular sessions, with
an occasional special term when the
docket warrants it.
Hereafter the boys who arec hosan
orderles will do their little bit at IA
tigue duty. 1t has been something of
a snap heretofore and will prove pop
ular with the fellows who don't land
orderles if not with the lucky boys
who do. Last night the guard appear
ed with bayonets on their guns, which
added much to their wariike appear
ance and made them feel more like the
real thing.
Lieut.. Hubbard has decided to accept
the position rendered him as aide-de-
camp on the staff of Brig. Gen. Hub
bard at Jacksonville, Fla, and will
leave for there the latter part of this
week. He will still retain his commits
sion as second lieutenant in the Fiji
teenth, and will hold that rank while
performing his new duties. Gen. Hub
bard is in command of a division at
Jacksonville at present, and is acting
major general. In speaking to friends
last night in reference to the move
ment of the Fifteenth, Gov. Clough
stated that he expected orders at any
time for them to go to Jacksonville If
the Fifteenth does go, Lieut.. Hubbard
will probably rejoin it in the South,

1920. The boys are assured of a much larger
sum before they go away. Company will
get their fund. Yesterday they managed to
scrape together about a dozen dollars by
selling their surplus rations. Still, the boys
say they will try and make the citizens Of
St. Paul proud of them if the chance comes.
just as they would have done had they been
encouraged by some of the folks here at
home.

maneuvers are fine. considering the time
they have had for practice. They chose well

day, enough SO that each member of the
company received several.
Rumor has 1t that the mascot will be ban

got so numerous that they became something
of a nuisance, and one day they were hauled
away to Lyle and left to hustle for new
homes.
