Like Partially Deserted Village.

Like 1drClally deserted village.
1t took some time for the District
militiamen to become reconciled to the
fact that they were 'all by themselves"
in camp. 1t did not seem possible that
the long line of mess halls, extending
to the west Of the militia camps, was
without occupants. But when night
fall came the changed condition of af-
fairs became more marked. There was
not light in any of the fourteen struc-
lures. The fires that heretofore have
garbage and refuse incinerators were
missing. Lights that had burned on
nights before in tents along the COM
pany streets were missing also. The
camp looked like a partially deserted
village, boom town after a crash"
when all but few of its residents had
gone.

about the portion of the camp which
formerly was occupied by the 22d was
at headquarters and at the field bak-
cry, where bread Is made for tile
troops stationed here and at Naco.

goes with his office. He found that a
big task has been assigned to him.
