street and back. During he forenoon
they practice and in the evening play
for guard mount and give a concert
after 7:15. The members of the regi-
ment show their appreciation for this
organization to the greatest extent.
Evenings after ~theconcert the boys
feeling happy gather together in little
groups and sing popular hits which the
men enjoy very much. These i'm
promptu concerts usually end up with
taps at 10 p. m.
The condition of the camp is of the
best. Sanitation and personal comfort
is fsst class. Every day the officers
of the regiment are called together by
the Colonel where they are given the
orders which they give to their com
panies. All officers are messing with
their companies which is different
from other camps. Very little Jews
matter is procured here and the home
paper will be greatly appreciated. Very
little time is offered the fellows to
write letters and have time to them
selves as this is a very strenuous camp
and much training is carried on. 1t is
not known at resent how long we eX-
pect to stay here, but at least long
enough for all the men to get fully
equipped and hardened in somewhat to
marching and trained in the handling
o fthe rifle and firing. The mess is
very good. Bill Emerson and his help
supply &C" company n a very efficient
manner. We have at present about 20
men enlisted and could use a few
squads moer to finish our company.
Men enlisting in this company have
the privilege of enlisting with the most
intelligent bunch in the regiment.
Visitors to the camp will be received
most cordially and will be shown all
points of interest and should not be
afraid to ask questions concerning
things which they do not know about.
The physical examinations will be in
process during his week and all men
found not properly fitted to withstand
the coming campaign will be rejected
there. Mail is received at camp every
day and in leisure hours the men ap-
preciate the newspapers. Send them
along.

have a pretty good band and can make
a lot more noise than we did last
