NOTES OF THE CAMP.

Few cooks in the military camps
along the border have an opportunity
to wash dishes to the time of stirring
airs being played by band nearby.
but such is the case of the chefs at
the Field Hospital and Signal Corps
camps. Every morning about the time
the cooks are cleaning up their kitch-
ems the bandsmen of the band of the
22d Infantry gather in the plaza, which
Is about 800 yards distant, and practice.
Every evening the band gives a con-
cert. The cooks invariably find them
selves washing dishes to the time of
the particular piece the band is play
ing. Cook Andy" Carrico says that
the pots and pans are washed much
cleaner when the band is playing a
piece written in "two-two time. mod
erato." than they are when the time Is
"siX-eight, cresendo." The slower, the
cleaner" is the way ANDY" expresses
it.

Corps camp the other day bore the
names of II. Wood and F. Wood. After
they had sawed and split six or eight

CLEARANCES
ESTABLISH NEW RECORD
High Tonnage Despite Blockades
and Withdrawal of Many
Foreign Vessels.

Merchant shipping cleared from
ports of the United States in the year
ending June 80 set a new record, not
withstanding the allied blockade, the
closing of the Black sea and the with
drawal Of German and Austrian mer-
chant ships from trade. Bureau of
navigation reports made public today
show the tonnage cleared was $25, 50O,-
900. of which 2.500,000 originated in the
United States and 23,O00.OO0 was for
eign. The previous high-water mark
was 24.s00.000 tons, cleared In the year
ending June 80, 1914.
Comparing the two years. American
shipping tripled and European clear
ances decreased. The American ton
mage to South America was $4,000,
nearly five times greater, and to Eu-
rope 100000, two and a half times
greater.
Total clearances to France and Italy
almost doubled; clearances to Norway,
Denmark and Sweden more than
doubled and to Greece increased three
fold.
Increase Is Notable.
The increase in clearances of Amer
lean shipping to South American coun-
tries is most notable for Argentina.

5000, and 100000 in 1916. and for Co

DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD CAMP,
WARREN. Ariz.. July 2s.-An order
from the quartermaster for the Ari-
zona district authorizing the ex-
penditure of s540 for the construction
of temperament mess halls and
kitchens at the camps of the Field Hos
pital and Signal Corps units, o. M. D. C.,
has set the officers of these commands
to thinking. Every one of them feels
that the District militiamen are in for
a long stay here in the border country,
for it is believed the regular army
authorities would not have ordered
the semi-permanent structures II the
guardsmen were only to remain here a
month or so longer.
The semi permanent construction will
provide frame buildings for mess and
kitchen use with tar-paper roofs. The
floors will be boarded. Each camp will
have building of sufficient size to ac-
commodate it's kitchen and also pro-
vide space for the storage of supplies.
The mess halls will be designed to ac-
commodate about eighty men each.
1t is understood that in event the
District militia units remain here un-
til cold weather arrives. the floors and
walls of the tents for the men also
will be boarded. Stoves will be in
stalled and every effort made to pro-
vide the greatest amount of comfort
for the men possible under the circum-
stances.
only the officers who are engaged
in computing the amounts of lumber
and stoves that will be needed are
thinking about winter already. At
present the minds of the men are oc-
cupied with much hotter thoughts.
When one drills out in the broiling
sun and lays field telegraph lines over
ground that burns the soles of the
feet he hasn't much time for cold
weather thoughts.
Most of the drilling at the camps is
done in the forenoon, when the tenn
perature is not so great and when the
men feel fresher. In the afternoons
schools for .'non-coms" and enlisted
men are held under the shade of tents
The climate in this country is very
peculiar and the militiamen from the
District are just beginning to get ac-
quainted with it. The heat is intense
in the middle of the day. but it is the
dry kind of heat that is not so OBJ
jectionable as that which is accom-
panied with great humidity. No mat
ter how hot the sun may be shining,
1t is comparatively cool in the shade
There is breeze stirring most of the
time.

First Visitor From Home.

The militiamen have been warned by
their commanding officers not to go
bareheaded in the sun. No matter if
a man only goes from one tent to the
next adjoining, he is expected to wear

When Mr., Hughes hangs his head
in shame he perhaps is thinking OF
the occasion when President Taft
sent a message to the governor of
Arizona in response to the latter's re-
quest for protection against Mexican
attacks. Said the then Republican
president: 81 must ask you and the
local authorities, in case the same
danger recurs, to direct the people of
Douglas to place themselves where
bullets cannot reach them, and thus
avoid casualty" Thus, while the
Democratic method is to call the ma
tional guard to colors, the Republi-
can method appears to be to order
the citizens to crawl into their eel

country has become the creditor of
