BIG GUN BATTERY
ARRIVES AT CAMP
NEW ARRIVAL IS IMPORTANT
ADDITION TO THE CAMPS
EQUIPMENT
FOOD VIOLATIONS CHARGED
Business House Cited To Show Cause
Why They Should Not BE Pun
ished Under Regulations

ALlduld.--
One Of the most important additions
to the equipment Of the Eighty-second
division to be made during the recent
past is that of new battery Of big
guns for the artillery forces. The new
equipment consists Of four modern
threeinch guns.
Up TO date the artillery equipment
of the camp has been confined to one
battery of three guns which was con-
tinually in use at the artillery range.
The new battery will afford actual
practice at the camp without inter
fering with that going on at the range.
Another new movement in the adj
vanced war training program Of the
camp is the recent beginning Of march
ing gun practice by officers. Experts
of long experience are conducting this
course just as they are the other adj
vanced training courses such as gas,
defense, trench building and other
lines of work

Discussing enlargement of the age
limit for selective military service, Pro-
vost Marshal General Crozier said:
IA pronounced majority of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there is great diversity of opinion as
to the proper age limit. Nineteen and
thirty-fve are perhaps the limits most
frequently suggested; but some recon-
mend forty or forty-fve years as the
upper limit There is a distinctly
stronger demand for raising the maxi
mum age than. for lowering the mini
num-"
General Crozier estimates that $685.,
3SS acceptable single men would be
made available by an increase in the
age limit to include men up to forty
FIVE years. The estimate places the
number of acceptable single men be-
tween eighteen and twenty-one years
at 1,546,283. The number of probably
acceptable single men already regis
tered, but not called is 1921, S45. Ac-
cording to these figures, should the age
limit be enlarged to include men of
from eighteen years to forty-fiye years,
inclusive, 4,257,516 physically and 9th
erwise qualified unmarried men would
be open for call to service.

CLEVER YOUNG PAINTER.
Miss Blanche Edwards Of Lewes Has
Won Fame as an Artist.

Lewes, June 26-AIiss Blanche Ed
wards. sixteen-year daughter of Cap
tain and Mrs David Edwards, of Lewes,
has won fame as a marine and landscape
artist
Lacking confidence in her own work,
Miss Edwards has rejected more than
one offer that might have meant a gen
erous sum yearly To her, had she ac-
ccpted any one of them, and has been
content to remain unknown TO the world
nj large while she spends the greater
portion of her waking hours as sales
girl in store.
The most remarkable thing about
Miss Edwards painting rs that IT rs
the natural expression of herself The
paint pot. palette and brush have been
her hobby since early childhood. Her
father having been a scaiaring man tor
many wears. and her home being IN a
seacoast town, marine subjects naturally
became her choice when she sat before
the canvas.
No man before the mast knows the
deep sea better than, she She knows
shps and scamcn and the ways oi men
who brave the wrath OF Neptune. In
spite of that or because of II she is n
modest, shy and elusive woman When
the paint brush is idle. her artistic beng
finds It's expression IN the exquisite
harmonies Of the piano, of which she IS
Il master.
