The ambulance, which is fitted with every

department of the District National Guard,
TO all appearances, sincerely regrets the
absence of sickness in camp. The surgeons
are actually lonesome, and the forlorn eX-
pressions noted on the faces of some of
them tend to create a feeling of pity
throughout the camp. The surgeon general
and the members of his important depart
ment came to camp fully prepared to re-
ceive and treat any number of cases, no
matter what the character of the same
might be- They were prepared not only for

forms of surgery as we'll Up to this date,

Is sometimes spoken of as the gay and fes
tive chigger.
Those guardsmen who attended the
camps away back in the days of Fort
Washington are Intimately acquainted with
the chigger. 1t was then source of the
greatest annoyance. 1t is the habit of the
chigger to- proceed with its deadly work
for about two days before announcing that
she has called. By that time she usually
secures good Roadway. and is difficult to
capture. The romancerS of the present
camp assert that while at Fort Washing
ton the chigger was in the habit of first
making her onslaught on members of the
Ambulance Corps. The selection of the
medical department as the target of her
initial dastardly designs is declared to be
only an instance of the characteristic in
dependence of the chfgger: on all occasions
1t displays the most extreme degree of con-
tempt for all members of the human fam
lily. At all events the consensus Of opinion
Is that all the guardsmen, veterans as well
as recruits. should be keenly alert and on
the defensive against the alleged threat
ened attack by the aforesaid gay and fes-
tive chigger.

The Ambulance Corps
The tents of the ambulance corps are
pitched adjacent to those of the hospital

to look after the sick and injured on the
field. prepare them for transportation and

camp surgeons and the hospital stewards
do the rest. The members of the ambu-
lance corps must be ready for duty day and
night. Lieut.. Fales holds drills of his COM
mand every day. and the exercises form an
interesting exhibition. Certain of the mem
bers are detailed as dead men, for the
time being, and others are directed to feign
very serious injury. Some. In ina gina tion
