'TWe're all O. K,' was the cheering message that Captain F. E. Withee of the Thirteenth company sent over the cable from Fort Terry, Plum Island, Wednesday afternoon.
 We're working like the Old Harry, but everything is moving along nice ivy. This afternoon we are to take over two batteries and from now on we will tillery work.
 some people think that No. 13 is unlucky but it isn't figuring out that way for us. We are being used splen- didly The men are well housed and taken care of and the officers have fine separate quarters.
 .'The federal physical examinations rave been going forward this week and we expect that they will be cora pleted this afternoon. We have had eight rejections so far and there are twelve more doubtful cases, these to be given examinations"
 Captain Withee did not mention the names of those rejected, not having the list in mind so that he could give it accurately at the time, but the men who have been rejected are expected home here almost at once.
 Captain Withee said that the men of the Thirteenth were receiving issues of clothing and guns and that the company will be fully equipped by the end of the present week. They have buckled down to the intensive period of training that the government has mapped out for them and find great in the work.
 It has been mighty trying, so far as the weather is concerned, for the mem bers of the Thirteenth company this week. but they have found relief in iathing, and the nights have been made comforta bIe by the cool bree7 s'r from the sound which, these moonlight nights, presents a beautiful and peace full vista seemingly little related to tfIe mems mission of war.
 Two of the members of the Thir- teenth company, Captain Withee men tioned, are in the fort hospital. They are Chauncey House and Edwin BurkS Neither man is seriously i'll, Houses s s4ilment promising to develop into the The other members of the command are in fine fettle. though tired after each days activities
 Captain Withee laughed when he was asked if he had begun to study. French. and said "No;" but the fact that French lessons are to be given ct the fort indicates that the men. sooner or later, will l1e sent to France
 The Thirteenth company should make good on the French lessons. Of the 122 men that were taken to camp, II are French Canadians, and in ad- dition to these there are other mem bers of the company who know enough about the French language to use it as a working basis for making known their wants, their likes and dislikes and to express very forcibly their sen timents on some things, especially the Boches.
 The company is doing very well, Captain Withee would have all of the mems relatives and friends know.
 It has been stated that permits are to be issued for relatives and friends, in limited numbers. 60 visit the men a the island fort. and definite announce 1nent on this matter is expected short ", but Captain Withee said Wednes- day afternoon that he is unable yet to give any i1fOrmation on this point.
