It ade the men physically and was the best exercise that could have been taken. This is aside from the real value of their military training. The men at the camp all dress in khaki and work hard eight hours a day. They g0 to bed at 9 o'clock—that is, the big majority do—and the rest turn in not later than 10. They are all up At 5:45 a. m.

The artillery work was with batteries of field artillery manned by picked men from the regu- lar service, and the medical and sani- tary work was in charge of experts in that important form of modern army administration.

New Recruits Make Rapid Progress. ‘Would one know that these men and their fellow camp workers started in only a few days previous to learn about guns and drills and things like that? The answer is that you wouldn’t possi- bly know it unless you had been told or unless you had witnessed the tax- ing, never ceasing, constant drill, drill, drill under the eye of company com- manders and the practice, practice, practice that each man put himself through of his own accord at every in- terval when he was not in company or squad formation or at me: Certainly the men “caught hold."

The earldom was created In 1485. The seventh earl was sent to the scaffold in conse- quence of his loyalty 1o Charles I. The fourteenth earl was suggested as the king of Greece ninety years ago. but declined the honor. The present earl was a lieutenant colonel in the Gren- adier guards, served as chief censor in the Boer war and was later private secretary to Lord Roberts in ' South Africa.

A BLACK VELVET MODEL CUT O skirt. unusual progress, for this unfalling attention, for this almost pathetic ea- gerness to learn and willingness to un- dergo anything in order to learn. The answer strikes at the very root of the reason for the existence of the camp itself. It is that every man there, without one solitary exception, had written In his mind and in his heart his unfailing belief in the gospel of military preparedness. And so, at the very start, any one wishing to get an estimate of the pur- pose and scope of this camp must dis- miss from his mind all thought that those enrolled in it went there with the idea of having a good time, more or less of a picnic and a little soldiering. If any of the men did have such an idea it has been knocked out of their minds—on the afternoon, in fact, of their first day under arms. Speak to any one of the men you will and you will find that each tells you the same purpose actuated him in en- rolling. Although differently express ed, the prime thought of every man would sum into this—that, by their presence, they are voicing & protest against unpreparedness. Of course, it must not be forgotten that the very large majority of the business and professional men here are university graduates. There had been some feeling that this situation would be accepted as Indicating a desire to make the camp ome in which exclu- siveness prevails. But Captain Hal- stead Dorey, ald de camp to General Wood and commander of the camp, quashed this idea thus: “Yes, it's true that we have tried to get as many university men as possi- ble. There wasn't any thought of ex- clusiveness in it, but just plain com- mon sense. Stop and think a minute what we are doing. When we have finished with those men at the end of four weeks we hope and expect that they will have learned sufficlent so that we could call upon them at any time within the next few years and find them fully capable of doing well a large part of the organization work demand- ed by any mobilization of volunteers. Only men who have been college train- ed, in our viewpoint, could do this; only men whose minds have been so cultivated that the soll is richly fer- tile. “You can see that it would be an in- Justice to them to hamper them by de- VERY SMART LINES This box coat takes a short circular A short hip length, the coat is s - N STANDARD SCREW TAKES AN ADVAS In Response to Upward Tend Moves to 290 Asked Standard Screw common ap to be the leading local stock It is in sharp demand and fi terday has risen from . 280 &8 Colt's Fire Arms today stood bid and 850 asked.
