Glasses Held Under Shade of Trees.
This morning Old Sol came out in fine
shape and got in enough of his good work
to drive some of the classes out of the
tents. Many of the classes were held
right on the grass in the shade Of some
big trees. The students opened the necks
of the khaki waists. but the chief petty
officers of the navy had to stand right
out in the sun with high collars, coats
but,oned tight and leggins.
All the classes were going at full speed
early today and there was little lost mo-
ton on account of the let-up in the ac-
tivities of the classes yesterday to permit
of the reception of visitors. All the forms
of signaling, as applied in Uncle Sam's
naval branch are proving an attraction
some, for many minutes after their
classes are over hey stand around the
camp grounds and send messages by two
arm semaphore, wigWag and the hello
graph-the little instrument which uses
the reflection of the sun by which to
transmit a message
OF course, there is lot for the wom-
en- to learn in signaling. They get the
the staff. until the chief petty officer
steps up and tells them that they must
signal with their backs to the wind
as that helps to keep the flag clear of
the staff.

Police to Have Maryland Authority.
There's TO be trouble in store now
for those who insist on disturbing the
peace of the camp at night by motor
ing along the road and calling out to
the camp. Those nice policemen at
the main gate, who have been wear
inf the uniform and equipment of
metropolitan policemen, but with
Maryland. are to be deputized. Word
came to Adj. Poe this afternoon that
Sheriff Gather would deputze these
men. and then they could throw out
their chests and arrest a man on the
main road just the same as when they
are serving in Washington. Hereto
fore they have been merely serving
as watchmen, using the shiny badges
as a bluff to awe some person who
might be tempted to violate the laws Of
Maryland or even the camp laws
AT o'clock tomorrow morning every
girl will be given chance to have some
good exercise. The bulletin board says
there Will be a general police" and
every soldier, or every man who has
served a soldier. knows what gen
eral police means. It means thet every
soldier must get out and pick up every
scrap Of paper. stone or other foreign
matter in the camp. and. unless one is
used to II. it is going TO be felt in the
later drills and exercises
