re was decided check to the
wild enthusiasm which has marked
the proceedings up to today. Yester-
days terrible heat, which lasted well
into the night, had taken heavy toll
of the reserve strength OF the old
warriors. They did not respond as
quickly to the bugle this morning,
many preferring to go without their
breakfasts to leaving the shelter of
their tents and the hay piled cots on
which they were comfortably rest
ing.
There were fifty three prostrations
yesterday, which necessitated the re-
moval of the victims to the general
hospital and there were four or FIVE
times that number who received
treatment and were taken to their
tents to recover. The remarkable
thing so far has been the small num-
Der of deaths. Only five have been
reported to date and its is pointed out
that this is far below the average.
With more than $4,000 men in
camp, all over sixty eight years of
ape the death rate, according to the
law of averages. should be much
higher. However, the surgeons in
charge fear that. as the camp draws
to close, these figures will be in

small books of cards, printed ike
pressing club tickets, he began 10
shout, with a strong German accent:
you ordert desc carts an now you
don't take dem!"
Attracted by the disturbance, the
head waiter asked the cause OF the
small mans wrath. He stated his
grievance, showed the cards and short
ly after was paid.
What proof was there that the
waiter had really ordered those
cards?" asked a thoughtless specta-
tor.
Ample proof" replied man sitting
near by. Everyone Of those cards
bore the walters name correctly
spelled. It's Greek name and prob
ably contains at least sixteen letters.

have gotten such name into type II
