PLAN FINE CLUBHOUSE
FOR CAMP LEE OFFICERS
| General G. G. Hciner, Colonel Fitz-
| hugh Lee and Captain Hughes. a COM
mttee appointed by General Cronk-
| hte for the purpose Of making ar.
| engagements for the establishment of
| an officers club at the cantonment
| are working on the project and will
have their plans in shape in short
! time. 1t is understood that the club
will be erected near headquarters, and
! Will be complete in all It's appoint
| ments. The need of such an institu-
ton has been emphasized by the fact
that there is no central point at which
the officers Of the cantonment can as
| semble for social purposes.
1t was announced to-day that tho
population of Camp Lee totals 20.S50
men, including officers. The work of
! mn for ri
cally completed, and little remains now
to be done before the men of the sec
ond quota will be we'll in line with their
military instruction. 1t is believed
that the men will be completely uni
formed and ready for their military
| career by the first OF next week
| The new men In the camp are ex-
periencing some little difficulty in fnd-
ing their way around the cantonment.
and hundreds OF them have applied to
| the Information bureau in the last few
days for directions as TO their regi-
ment The camp is so vast and on
account OF the similarity of the build
| ings. 1t Is impossible for new men to
get their bearings Immediately. One
man was found wandering about the
camp last night and it developed that
he had been making an effort to find
time signs Will be put up on all OF
the buildings. and streets numbered,
which will make 1t easy for every one
to get to any command in the camp.
UNFAMILIARITY WITH LIFE
CAUSES AMUSING INSTANCES
Many amusing instances are run
across daily in the camp arising from
the unfamiliarity Of tho new men with
military practices. Some OF the men
address officers as boss" buddy"
fellow" and most anything that may
como to their minds. An officer was
standing near his company barracks
to-day when one OF the men camo up
and. slapping him the back. said:
Hey. DO. how did you happen to ser
your uniform before 1 did?'
Men Of the headquarters troop wcro
mustered into the service this morn
ing. and this command Is now complete
1t has been uniformed and was on the
field early to-day for drills. Captain
Dawson Is following his plan of ro-
tatfng men in the noncommissioned

be month before the permanent non.
