NOTES OF THE CAMP,

The Field Hospital Company's party
last night was rudely interrupted by
rain. Everything was going along finely
when 1t clouded up and began to
spill" This drove the Field Hospital
men and their guests indoors. the only
shelter for them being the mess hall.
1t had been planned to have an OPEN
air vaudeville program, which the rain
spoiled. The band of the 22d Infantry
provided music.
Arrangements were made by a COM
nittee consisting of Lieut.. Pelzman,
sergts. Johnston. Arbeelie and Shipley,
Wardmaster Bowling and Surgical As
sistant Sestal
Men Of the battery are now stand
ing guard with real ball cartridges in
their pistols The ammunition was is
sued to the guard today.
Excitement and some fun were Great
ed today by fire in the Field Hospital
camp Some one threw a lighted
cigarette bhtt or match end at the base
of the hospital tent. Before long one
side was afiame A bucket brigade was
formed and soon the fire was extin-
gui&hed
Somehow or other Sergt. Barnes got
mixed up with the fire and found him
before he realized his position. One
| bucketful of water hit him square In
| the face. Others followed, 1t in rapid
procession, and soon Doc" was drench-
ed to the skin.
| Here's a story they're telling about
Private Mangum of the Field Hospital
| 1t seems that Mangum has had sew
eral fainting spells since arriving here
| in Warren At least his comrades
thought they were fainting spells and
treated him accordingly. but now they
are beginning to change their mind.
Some believe Mangum has been fooling
them.
| The other day Mangum had a bad
toothache doc" MacVeigh decided the
| tooth would have to be pulled. He
started to work on Mangum, but before
he could do the trick his patient faint
ed. A brilliant idea struck Sergt. Hart,
who was standing close by.
why not pull 1T while he Is in tho
faint?' he suggested. He won't feel

The words were barely out Of his

Board Disapproves Design.

The general board disapproved the
design on the ground that the physical
difficulties presented by the necessity
of taking down a smokestack would
make the boats slow to submerge and
an easy prey for enemy destroyers.
Full details of the steam submarines
now being built abroad have not been
received. 1t is generally understood,
however, that they embody many of the
IDEAS first evolved by American navy
constructors in their effort to produce
twenty-fye-knot design.
The Schley, first of the American fleet
submarines, will not be completed for
more than year. She Is expected to
make twenty knots with oil engines,
but the builders have been so doubtful
of the success of this undertaking that
in the present bill the speed require
ment was reduced somewhat. Two
more boats of the Schley type have been
authorized by Congress.

Field Hospital on Hike.

The first long hike to be taken by
any of the District units camped here
was taken yesterday by the men of
the Field Hospital. Hereafter Maj.
Bowker plans to take his command
out ON a road march every Monday.
The start was made from camp about
1880 o'clock yesterday morning. About
fifty mon were In line. Five Of the
outfits escort wagons also were taken
Evening star., 1916-08-28
Four Stops for Rest.

Four stops were made en- route to
give the men a rest. 1t was their first
hiking experience since arriving here
and Maj. Bowker took care that they
did not overdo themselves.
The halt for the MONDAY meal was
made in a fiat covered with tall mes
quite and cactus. Tarpaulins from the
wagons were spread over the brush
to provide shade for the men; the off,
GERS used their saddle blankets and
slckerS.
When the time came for Chow" 1t
was discovered that kind hearted
Serst Johnston. in charge of the mess,
mad provided food that already had
been cooked. and that it would not
be necessary for the men to do their
own cooking. Sergt. Johnston had pro-
v1ded boiled potatoes. cold ham, hard
boiled eggs and bread. The only ar
tlcle to be cooked was coffee
Maj. Bowker had intended to have the
men supplied. with raw bacon and pota-
toes and have the individual cooking of
the meal a part of the training to be
received on the march. AS it was, there
was nothing to be cooked, but some of
the men did experiment with a combina-
ton of minced ham, boiled potato and
hard-boiled egg fried together in a mess
KIT. They pronounced it exceI1ept

Ride Back in Wagons.

The men had formed in line again and
had nerved themselves for the eight
mile hike back to camp. when Maj.
Bowker gave them all the surprise of
their lives. He announced that on the
escort wagons.
1t seems that he had planned to take
only an eight-mile hike in the begin
ming, and had decided to make it "one-
way" rather than "round-trip" affair.
He did not let single person know of
his plans until the time to start back
arrived.
His announcement brought joy to the
hearts of the men. The eight-male walk
back to camp in the hot sun did not
appeal to them.
1t looks like Capt. Wilson, command
went down to Douglas yesterday and
upon his return announced that he had
obtained 100 trained artillery horses for
the command.
1t seems that one Of the batteries of
the 9Th Field Artillery has about 176
horses on its picket line and only about
twenty-five men to take care Of them.
The hundred horses are to be turned
over to Capt. Wilson temporarily, and
perhaps permanently.
This will mean that as soon as they
are received he can start his command
to work on mounted drills. 1t will not
be necessary to go through the long
and tiresome ordeal Of training the
horses.
Capt. Terry's command is just in the
midst of such an undertaking. The ar
tillerymen will be glad to escape the
experiences which have befallen their
comrades in the Signal Corps. Max
ing thoroughly trained horses for mil
itary use out of raw-boned and scat
ter-brained bronchos and under-sized
western horses Is no fun.

today" He made the Turk cry, 1--WE

Havenpaa H. according to critics who
have seen his work and who know
whereof they speak. all that has been
said OF him. He il strong. rough and
ferce-a dangerous man for the best

He believes in killing his man II that

mercy to an opponent, and for that
reason has been Stunned by more than
one good man in the heavyweight

after him hammer and tongs when the
referee awarded the match to the Ger

Despite his apparently ungovernahie
temper however. Havenpaa has been
able to attain marked success on the

PITT UNIVERSITY TO
HAVE GREAT ELEVEN
With Many Old Men Back and Other
Good Material, Warner Is
Enthusiastic.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 23.-The pre-
liminary training season for the Uni
versity of Pittsburg gridiron contin-
gent, which began on September 9Th.
has just been brought to close.
Camp has broken and the players
have deserted Camp Hamilton for
Pittsburg. The almost ideal conditions
surrounding the mountain camp and
the cool, bracing weather which has
been encountered have assisted Coach
Warner In bringing his men to con-
dition.
During the time remaining before
the opening OF the season on Octo-
Der 7th practice VIII be continued at
Trees Stadium and Forbes Field.
Developments during the first two
weeks OF varsity practice indicate thai
the Panther lineup will include as
first string men at least seven or eight
of the stars OF last years eleven, the
gaps caused by graduation and ineligi-
bility being filled by second string
players of the 1915 organization. The
team will probably carry about as
much weight as last years. and 1t is
not believed that there will be any
falling off In speed.
Inose VINO nave Watcned warner
men In the early season scrimmages
are confident that the great coach will
present machine the equal OF the
1915 champions. Players who are
showing exceptional form are Thorn
hill. the crack tackle: Heron and
Carlson. ends. and McLaren, who lie
playing a great game at fullback.
Sizes. one OF the biggest men on the
squad. Is being used at quarter, and
has a strong asset in his punting. II
successful in winning the assignment,
he will be perhaps the largest quar-
terback in the country.
