them an early breakfast in order to
keep the rather important appointment.

armory in their own automobiles.
As is the case in most OF the other
organizations, a number of the men
of Squadron A are sleeping in the
/ armory. The rest, while they have
leave to spend the night at home, must
not appear in public except in uniform.
There were $50 men in the two COM
panies of the 22d Engineers which
