ord from the beginning of Camp Si-
neon P. DOherty, at Bethany Beach.
The boys left Milford last Friday
evening, by truck, at 10 o'clock, ar
riving in camp without any mishap.
on schedule, at midnight. Due to ex-
cellent forethought on the part of
the officers, Mess Sgt. Peete, Cooks
Paul Harrington and Thomas Chad
wick preceded the Battery to Beth
any Beach. and had a steaming hot
meal prepared when the outfit ar
rived. This they went into without
any ceremonies.
Following the meal. camp was
made. At A. NJ. lights were out and
everyone retired to their quarters
for little sleep.
Many fun-makeTs remained awake
to make life miserable for those who
desired rest. The first night in camp
is given over more or less to fun
making. especially to the initiation
of rockies (new sOldisrs) who soon
learn the ropes.
Saturdays time was utilized by the
inoculation and vaccination. This is
necessary evil that all soldiers
must submit to to protect the health
of the command.

of Major Park Huntington. was the
only morning duty.
At five P. NJ. the first regimental
parade of the camp took place, with

viewing the regiment.
Several hundred spectators were
agreeably surprised to see the
smoothness in which this first parade
progresses.
1t was the cOncencious of opinion
among the spectators that Battery
''F"' made the best appearance and
had the best line as it marched pass
ed the reviewing officers.
Sunday night was selected by the
non-coms of the battery to initiate
two newly appointed members into
their circle. Sgt. Hill and Cpl. Win
gate were the victims. with 1st Sgt.
Smith as master of ceremonies.
There is some talk of borrowing
a fire alarm from Milford for camp
use Saturday night. 1t. Mowlds'
tent caught fire in some MYSTERIOUS
Battery ''F'' fire brigade
was right on the job and had it under |
control in a little while.
The food they are serving at camp 4
is good and wholesome. The menu \
for Sunday dinner of Battery ''F'' was
beef. string beans. creamed potatoes.
brown gravy. bread. butter and iced
Tea. with sliced peaches for desert.
Among the Milford visitors at camp
asst Sunday were Mrs. Anthony Sum-
ners and son. Mrs. Herbert Jump
md family. Col. W. z. Lank. Mr.. and
Mrs. John P. Steward. Major and
