Y., Aug. .—The parade of the first battalion of the men who make up the Camp of In- struction, U. 8. A., the speech of Gen. Wood which followed, and the tow headlong thrills of the increasingly wevere work of the lawyers, bankers, brokers, literary men, big business salesmen, policemen and artiste in the training routine, were all lost to- night in eager inquiries for particu- lars regarding the sinking of the Arabic. Reporters who went around fn the darkness asking for camp events were stopped at step by men who had rather inclined previeusly to keep away from them to maintain privacy. “Ie there anything later about the Arabic?” was the constant question. ‘There was nothing except @ bulletin to the effect that the Arablo on the way from Liverpool to New York had been sunk by a German submarine, with three Americans on board. “Bad! bad! bad!” “Well, boys, we wer off,” and “Can't they hi any sense?” was the substance of most of the remarks which came out of the dusky tents when the news was calied out along the company streets. But when one tried to get authorized in- terviews from men who would permit the use of their names according to camp regulations, there was a unani- mous reticence apparently born of the military discipline which has been question. of leading to slaughter, barracks under the kept in reserve. day to replace wastage. said in conclusion. edge in the world.” CAMP SPIRIT. delight were former Secretar; J, G.

Six regular army officers made almost the same answer to the question: “What, in your opinion, does the @inking of the Arabic in such a way, ‘with Americans on board, mean?” “We do not know what you mean by ‘in such a way,” they said in Stewart, of Albany, as his wus sounded, “We are soldiers.
