UNITS ERECT INSIGNIA

CAMP KEARNY. San Diego. Calif March 30-Many of the organizations at Camp Kearny. both regiments and smaller units, have erected elaborate insignia before their headquarters or mess halls so that all who pass may identify them. The hospital and am bulance sections have been particular ly prolific in this regard
 However. what is probably the most elaborate insignia of any is that which stands before the headquarters of the 144th field artillery California GrizZ- liesl. This insignia, while simple. is worked out in excellent detail and with faithfulness to the natural objects it depicts. At the top. on plaque. stand ing so that anyone in the street 20 yards or more away can see and identi- fy with ease. is a small grizzly bear. done in gray cement. At the bears feet is a large space, covered with white cement and edged with black cobblestOnes set in cement. On this is the American eagle. bearing the can ventional red. white and blue shield on its breast. The eagle is done in low relief. in cement, and the red bars on the shield are raised. Beneath this are the crossed cannOns of an artillery regiment There is a walk on each side of this insignia and the remainder of the space before headquarters and along officers row is planted to grass.
 Some of the supply companies. on the other side of camp from the GriZZ- lies, have the supply insignia. a wagon wheel, worked out in cObblestones on lawns before their stables. The cob bles are whitewashed and make fine appearance against the green of the grass.
 There is not a. regiment which has not walks marked out before its offic- CTS quarters and mess halls with cob blestones. many of which have the cob bles whitewashed. The headquarters of the California infantry brigade, made up of the 159th and 160th regi- ments, are marked in this way. and have a fine lawn before them. Cairns of large cobbles, whitewashed. hold up the flagpOle and the standards of the guidons at this headquarters

 Where ArizOnanS Train

SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 30. - Twice a week this city meets and solves a problem in housing and pro- visioning which probably is as severe as any community of like size in the country ever cOnfronts. These peri ods are Wednesday evening. when the stress is not so great, and the time from early Saturday afternoon to ear ly Monday morning. They are periods when the soldiers from Camp Kearny. near here. have liberty" and pour in to San Diego literally by the thousands
 When these periods come, work at the camp is at a minimum, set exer- cises and drill usually being discontin- ued and as few men as possible held to the camp routine. At these times, extra cars are attached to every train from Camp Kearny to San Diego, and numbeTless extra trains are run. Near ly everything with four wheels. that can negotiate the road between camp and town in a reasonable time and is not needed for other purposes.

 Sleep in Parks
 Hotel rooms become hard to get and one Saturday night recently. many sol diers slept in a park because. they could not find lodgings. Some restau- rants patronized chiefly by soldiers generally have waiting list on these days. soldiers standing in line to get meal This, however. is true only of those establishments which, for one reason or another. have received a tacit recognition as headquarters for soldiers"
 On the days mentioned soldiers and sailors from stations near here far out number civilians on the streets. They throng the sidewalks, occupy fully half of the room in motion picture shows and flock to dances and amuse' ment places by the score. The men are welcomed in town and there is very little disposition anywhere to ov- ercharge them.

He is throwing division after division into the battle with what ap- pears to be recklessness. but this principle of risking an entire force in order to attain an objective can only be successful when the adversaries are inferior in quality or overwhelmed by numbers.

 German Want Amiens
 The German aim here is apparent ly to drive westwar1 from Montdi- dfer in a further attempt at cutting in at Amiens. from the south. The German line here however. is already considerably extended. the northern wing of the advance having by no means kept pace with the southern. It is impossible that the impetuosity of the German crowno prince. who commands this group, may he leading him too far
 If the push is intended to open a southward path for the Germans it seems 10 be exerted too far to the west on the southerly line to win a way readily to the Disc where that river curves southwest from Noyan and flows on toward Paris A possibility is that the Gerlnas are attempting to stave off an allied counter blow, at tacking themselves rather than stand still and be attacked on this. their most exposed front
 On the remainder of the front the situation is virtually without change. so far as the official reports reveal.
