extent as to greatly encourage those
officers who have been bending thelr
efforts toward building up the pat
talon. All of the companies are UP
to the standard in number. all of their
members are enthusiastic and are
working hard, while the personnel OF
tho command has greatly improved.
Especially gratifying is this condi-
ton in view of the fact that the semi
annual encampment is at an end Al
though the men worked hard there.
and were much disappointed at the
failure to receive their pay at the ex-
pected time. they are showing more
faithfulness than usual in attending
drill and in discharging their military
duties.

the help of some of the members Of
the .'Old First the battalion can be

Here is one Of them;
'-The questions appearing in The
