Plattsburg Men
Practise Yelling
Learn How to Shout "Baat
OUCH" Which Means
forward March"
Special Cor-~pondeucol

Special tor-erpondeh'el
PLATTSBURG, Aug. 2S.-The candi-
dates for commissions here received
their first instructions to-day in the
art of yelling. For several hours this
afternoon the parade ground reverber-
ated to series OF shouts and ho~lS
that would have done credit to an in
tercollegiate football game.
But it was only q battalion Of the
students who we're learning to temper
and train their voices to the most
piercing and martial quality possible.
Through these vocal exercises, the IN
structors hope 10 develop the power 10
command.
This was the mode of procedure:
Two companies of the battalion repre-
sented the recruit, and two companies
the officer. At the command Of the IN
structor, 800 raucous voices barked cut
"Baah OUCH" which the intelligent
recruits" companies recognized al
most Immediately as Forward march.
and obeyed accordingly. In this way
each man grows accustomed TO me
sound of his own voice, raised in com
mand, and gets not = little Of the feel
ing that he il actually in charge or a
company.
Thus. his confidence grows and his
voice deepens. Outside the class room
the men are still struggling with the
mazcs Of the squad, platoon and COM
panv drill, and the parade ground wai
thronged all day with khaki clad
groups of all sizes, hurrying about stlll
a little bewilderedly and pursued by
the barking commands of officers and
non-coms. The fifty or more regular
enlisted men, who are here now as
candidates. are proving themselves m
valuable in guiding the uncertain rect
OF the novices through the intrcacics
Of the drill.
The men are also much more SOL
derly in appearance now that the long
DELAYED shipment of hats has arrived.
Their uniforms. however, are still
rather divergent. in cut and color. The
new uniforms have not yet appeared,
and some Of those now worn have been
washed so often that they have faded
almost white.
Instructors are grateful. however.
that the straw hated candidates of a
few days ago have vanished perma-
nertly.
at is a shame that we were not able
to outfit each man properly as soon as
he came" Colonel Paul A. Wolf, the
camp commandment, said to-day. "The
ragtag uniforms in which the men ap-
peared fer the first few days were
bad both for them and the camp. II
made them feel ridiculous and made
the camp appear humorous when II
should have seemed grave, serious
matter
Colonel Wolf has taken further steps
TO bolster up tie staff of instructors.
He telegraphcd to Washington to-day,
asking that ten more regular army
officers be sent TO the camp at once.

Of the colors Of the Allied nations
around the walls. and from the centre
OF the ceiling stretched a sunburst OF
red. white and blue streamers.
Most Of the prominent hotel propri-
