not an easy job. AS a word to the wise
was not always sufficient, sometimes
it would be necessary to use very stern
measures with the men.
Don't show indecision," he warned
them. always estimate the situation
carefully, no matter what 1t is. Come
to a definite decision and then give
your orders clear. concise and definite.
Don't try to shift your responsibility,
and, above all. don't give an order un-
til you have fully made up your mind
what you want. Don't give an order
and then before it can be executed
change your mind and recall it and
issue another. A woman Cthey say
is privileged to change her mind. but
indecision in a man is a thing to be
despised, and in IL military commander
is ruinous to discipline, as it soon
causes him to lose respect and conf
dence of his men,
Cites Duties of Camp Life.
He went thoroughly into the duties
of camp life, explaining the various
service calls from reveille. at $50,
when he told them that the soldier
must arise promptly, dress. wash his
face and hands. clean his teeth and
comb his hair, to taps.
AS soon as the steamer st. Johns ar
rived, shortly after noon yesterday,
the men were disembarked and march
ed to the camp grounds, greeted by
the hundreds of Washington visitors
to the resort. But the soldier boys did
not have any time for greetings then.
They went to the camp grounds and
went right to work.
The tentage had been carefully laid
out at the head of the company streets.
The various companies gathered up
the heavy canvas and under the hot
sun assorted the tents. 1t was but a
matter of few hours before the
tented city had reached it's full growth,
the cots were laid out, a little policing
of the camp to be done. and every
thing was in readiness for the early
start today.
The soldier boys were an attraction
at the beach last night. They were on
them had passes which let them stay
out long enough to enjoy themselves
thoroughly.
Trip Is Uneventfu1.
The trip down on the St Johns was
uneventful The men lolled about the
decks. using their blanket rolls for
pillows They sang and told stories
in campfire fashion. The Sd Infantry
band, whith took position in the for
ward part of the vessel, kept the men
in a good humor during the entire trip.
There was plenty of room for all.
There was absolutely no crowding
aboard the vessel.
Just before the st. Johns reached the
wharf at Colonial Beach each man re-
ceivedr a box containing two sand
witches, cake and fruit. A pint of
coffee was served to each man also.
This service was in charge of Sergt.
