Camp Meade. Admiral. Nd. March 29'
The big lid at Little Penn Is once
more clamped down and this time on
visitors other than on Saturdays and
Sundays.
Although visitors to the camp on
other days during tine week nave been
very numerous. the practice of issuing
special passes. particularly for friends
of officers and others attached TO the
camp. is ended. II is not new rule.
but rather the Enforcement of an old
rule. and g.p into effect today
The decision to bar visitors is due to
the great number OF women who have
visited the camp during the working
hours. Interested in the military maneu-
vers and drills. they came to the reser-
vation as the guests of officers, and the
latter. believing that view of the milf
tary machinery in operation served to
stimulate them with patriotism and en-
list their cooperation in war work, en-
couraged women to make frequent visits.
But like many other little privileges,
this Is to he lost to the women. and from
now on they will not have the pleasure
of seeing the soldiers in action The
intelligence officer who issues passvs
makes it plain that the rule must be en-
forced and that no exception will be
made.
Coupled with this order came another
which deals with the vexing problem OF
dress.
Many of the officers and men have
adopted styles that are not strictly
regulation and today they were informed
that from now on they must wear the
garments prescribed by the War De-
partment. SO far as officers are con-
cerned. they must wear the conventional
campaign hat when in camp and hang
their natty dress caps on clothes hooks.
They must also remove the fancy fur col
lars from their overcoats and discontinue
the practice of walking about the camp
when wearing sweaters as outer gar
ments.
That infsntrymen must master the
details of light artillery became APP
parent today when announcement was
made that oliver guns" are to be is
sued to the infantry regiments. A "hiv-
Yer gun" is one -pounder that is used
by the infantrymen &c dislodge the
enemy machine-gun nests. Major Town
send Whelen. OF philadelphia. and
division ordnance officer is In charge OF
( the oliver guns" and will have charge
/ of the instruction work.
| Each regiment will have three guns
and virtually every soldier wearing the
| light-blue hat cord of the infantry will
be taught to operate them. The guns
have a range of approximately 1900
yards and are so light that they can be
carried into the trenches.
