Artillerymen Glad to Be Re-

Life.
UNUSUAL NUMBER
OF DESERTIONS
Monotony, Climate, and Drill Work
in Glaring Sun Wor-
ried Men.

Back from the maneuvers on the Mex
fcan border, 391 artillerymen from Fort
Myer, Va, are transferring thcir stores
and equipment today from the special
trains to their regular quarters at the
fort.
The first section, bringing Battery D,
and the battalion stan, commanded by
Major A. J. SummeralL arrived at Ross
lyn soon after o'clock this morAing
Section two. with Battery E, all rived at
S:46 and section three, with Battery F,
pulled in at o'clock.
The Rosslyn station of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad presented a busy scene
this morning. Practically all the equip
'ment from the three sections was un-
loaded and started on its way to the
fort by noon.
Each section had four Pullman cars
for the accommodation or officers and
men, seven fat cars Tor the field pieces
and ammunition wagons, seven stock
cars for horses and mules, one baggage
car, and two box cars, twenty-one in all
The trains left San Antonio July Is,

railway. They were switched to the

the long bridge, and were brought di-
rect to Rosslyn without coming through
the city.
Officers and men, without exception,
are glad to get back. The men particu-
larly complained of the climate and the
deadly dullness of the maneuver camp.
They left Washington several months
ago, expecting excitement, and were
disappointed. The only activity of the
camp, isolated on the plains of the Rio
Grande, consisted in routine drill and
maneuvers, and amusements were
scarce. The men are tanned and look
well
Captain Payne, who commanded the
battalion when it left Washington and
during most of the time it was in camp,
has been promoted to the rank of ma
jor.
1t is said by the men today that there
were fully 200 desertions from the
San Antonio camp while they were
there. This enormous percentage is as
cribed to the heat and monotony, cou-
pied with the hard maneuver work.
When the men were not out tramping
or on parade in the broiling sun, there
was nothing for them to 90. They were
expecting a fight or frOlic when they
went into camp, and the disappointment
was too great for many of them
Practically all the officers who went
away with the three batteries are still
IN command. Battery D is under COM
mand of Lieutenant Newbil, Battery
z, Lieutenant Stewart, and Battery F,

College Athletic association at meet

first-year men in athletic sports at
that institution, and especially In foot
ball. If the request is not granted 1t
is likely that Kenyon will withdraw
from the conference.
The situation at Kenyon Is such
that it will be almost impossible to

freshment are barred. At present
there are only sixteen men out to
make the team, two of whom are in
eligible. OF these there are but two
X men and one last years substitute.
With practically no substitutes 1t is
almost impossible to ask one team to
play out the whole schedule which is
a hard one, the first four games being
with Wesleyan, Reserve, Allegheny
and Case.

Man Who Lost Memory vii

identity man who was placed IN jail

from committing suicide, and who
claimed to have escaped from deten-

not remember his name or the name
of the hospital, has been declared a
person of unsOund mind by commits

to the doctors, is aphasia. His mind
is clear as to things that occurred years

refined, an artist with the brush and
a fluent conrensationalist, speaking
both German and French. Evidently
he has travelled extensively on the
continent as well as this country, and
talks Interestingly of the Mona Lisa"
painting that recently disappeared
from the Louvre in Paris, and yet he
can not tell his name or where he halls
from. He says he thinks he one time
lived in Indianapolis, because he re-
members that he painted the picture
of lion for rich woman there and
she paid him 5000 for it. He recalls
the names of some of the streets there
and says he has a brother and two
sisters either there or in Cincinnati

may have been true several years ago,
but that there is no foundation in fact
for it now.
