 HOME ON WEDNESDAY.
Uniforms and Clothing Have Been Distributed to All Members of the Company

Several of the boys of the Third company were home on 24-hour leave of absence on Wednesday. Among those in twon were Mess Sergeant Lyons. From the reports gathered from the boys they seem to be per- fectly satisfied with the army life.
 All the company men now have having been issued during the first part of the week. Quartermaster Ser geant R. O. Fletcher is the busy man about camp these days, having to look after the new uniforms and give out equipment, etc.
 The baseball team of the Third company is the pride of the island and the boys have the fastest bunch of soldier ball players at Fort Wright. The Third company team would chaI- ienge the Fifth company team for a game at any time, the stakes to be 20 gallons of ice cream.
 The boys are especially pleased with the food which they are getting and The boys are given plenty of whole some, nourishing food. Of course there are no fancy dishes, but the boys say that they feel better for not having them Walter Congdon is assigned to the kitchen as third cook
 The kitchen is inspected twice daily and is kept spick and span by those in charge. All those visiting the camp are heartily invited to inspect the Kitchen and see how the cooking is done and how the meals for over 100 men are prepared.
 The company Is now doing guard duty at the island, the boys having two hours on duty and four off. Drills are in order every morning and after noon and the boys are being brought into first class shape.
 The camp is becoming one great family and each one is known by soma nickname or peculiarity such as the mess sergeant. who has a liking for prunes.
 The boys are still on the lookout for a mascot and wish that anyone having an animal of any description to donate for that purpose would mo- tify the company and it will be sent after.

 German Ministerial Changes.

Paris Aug. 9.-Recent events in Russia and the German ministerial changes were commented on today by Jules Cambon, general secretary to the ministry of foreign affairs, in an interview with The Asso ciated Press. M. Camton expressed sanSuine hope for the success of the new Kereus<y ministry and that his decision to re- constitute the war committee accord ing to the model existing among the allies augurs well
 The presence of AT. SavinItoff Tn the Russian war ministry. M. Carnbon said is reassuring, as is the choice of VI. TchernoR as the minister of agricul- ture.
 Regarding the ministerial develop ments in Germany, NJ Cambon said:
 The changes in the lIfchaeIis min- istry by the addition of one socialist and one Catholic are not of a nature to alter the opinion already expressed concerning the policy Of the ilew chancellor. Dr. Spahn, the Catholic member, especially has compromised himself too clearly by his annexation ist declarations to permit one TO con- slider his addition as a sign Of pacific intention by Germany"
