SOLDIERS WANT MORE
time FOR VISITING
Passes to Go to City Are Popular
and Guardsmen Urge
More Liberty.

More liberality in passes at Camp
ordway is desired by the militiamen. The
general pass order Of yesterday was
very popular among the men. and the
men want more evenings to spend with
their friends In the city.
The pass rule at the camp is not more
than 10 per cent Of a company out of
camp at time. This is more strict than
at the summer encampments Of the
Guard. and at regular army posts.
In the regular army time between re-
treat and taps belongs TO a soldier to do
with 1t as he wishes. The militiamen
declare that with the exception OF SUI
fcient guard. all men should be allowed
to leave camp in the evening as in the
regular army One pass a week per
man has been the average throughout the
camp.

half in snug, dry tents. there was little

muddy beats.
The only bright spot was the Y. NJ. C..

Of Veterans sang soldier songs to the
soldier boys.
Visitors usually swarm over the camp
on Sundays when the camp is thrown
open all day. but today, the mud, and the
fact that half OF the men will be on pass,
will serve to keep the crowd down.
There will be the usual religious ser

Catholics, at 9 o'clock Protestant re-
ugious services, and a service in the
