An internetional conference on safety of life at sea will b2 held in London in |April and several matters of interest to those who go down to the sea either for pleasure or business will be up for consideration. Life belts that will support the head of an unconscious rson above water, uniform regula- tions for the testing of lifesaving ap- aratus and the requiring of regular |lifeboat drills are among the recom- | mendatios and supplies and to assure prompt re- | turns, the order says that company, | battalion and regimental officers and | their staffs will not be paid following the close of the encampment uniil re- ports called for in the order have been prepared and submitted for all | units under _their command. Upon | compliance with all the details of the | camp order, the camp supply officer will issue a certificate showing that fact. The orders prohibit the shipment or taking to camp this year of Govern- | ment-owned uniform caps, but this does not seem to prevent a man from taking his own uniform cap. As the men pro- ceed to camp with their campaign caps, and these are not considered desirable or dressy by the men going on liberty in the evenings, many of them desire to wear the uniform cap and some of them have their own.
