CUP IS IMPROVED Battery A Shows Increased General Proficiency. TOWN RELATIONS , BETTER Men Vtull Like to Come Home, but Carry On Routine Duties in Soldierly Manner Call for Volunteers Quickly Met. CALEXICO. Cal, Jan. 22. (Special.) In the last three months there has bteen a. most decided change in the appearance both of the battery camp and of the men who occupy it- The light, conical tents have been replaced by the heavier, square, olive-drab shel ters, the eides have been boarded in and email stoves have been installed in each of the abodes. The conditions , are still far from those to which - the men were accus. tomed at the time they took to the tield. and the accommodations are only such as to impress them that the com forts of home are missing:. The meBs- houses have been boarded in and the roofs have been made rain-proof. The whole camp bears the aspect of a min iatura city. Stable quarters are ample for the ae eommrtnTion of nil animal In the hnk tery. Not only this, but the system in the battery has undergone an equally noticeable alteration. Each change has meant more efficiency and more effi cient work. No longer are the drills devoted to maneuvers on the Held and the prac tice of the srun crews, but the days are occupied by long road hikes and the extensive care of the horses. Since the return of the battery from target practice it has turned its attention. more to the hardening of both the men and the horses by- Ion? road marches. Men Volunteer Freely. The men want to return home. If not that they want to move, at any rate. This was clearly shown the other day when Captain Helms. In an effort to determine the attitude of the men, called for volunteers as cavalry for service in Mexico in the search of the missing airmen. Even though the ques tion was only a test, the men were not found wanting, nor did they hesitate to respond. The monotony and not the service itself is the grind. As the days drag by they are bring ing a new recompense to the battery in the recognition that the men are beginning to receive in Calexico for the service they are rendering. The former cold demeanor of the populace' is be ginning to melt away, and the men are no longer looked upon askance on their attendance at church or some function. They are welcomed as members of the community, and have been conducting memseives as such. At present all of the property of the battery is undergoing a survey, and the reports are being prepared for the files. Every article that has been is sued roust be accounted for. Rainy Days Welcomed. The days of late have been rainy, and these the men welcome, for then they have little work to do and remain in their tents for the greater part of . r.r tim'i ttat the Ioi&tnir for home makes the greatest Inroads on their peace of mind. The -work is going right on as If the battery were to remain In the service indefinitely. The only thing upon which there seems to have been put a limit is the amount of clothing that each man is allowed to draw. Two officers and three privates have been detailed to duty at the regular Army headquarters here since the, ar rival of the battery on the order' for rnrrfnnn rint-v TTivsfr T l.ntan.l T r Clayton has Teen appointed temporary commander of the Second Company, Coast Artillery Corps, In the absence of Captain Merriarn, who has been sent to the Hawaiian Islands, and Lieuten ant Stephenson, wiis-is. on leave. Junior Second Lieutenant J. ' Benja min Hayes has been appointed assist ant camp adjutant and prison officer. Private Pitta Colonel's Secretary. Of the privates in the regular serv ice Thomas E. Pitts is secretary to Colonel W. E. Wilder, in command of the Southern California division, with headquarters here; Wesley B. Wise is still detailed to the camp bakery, and Francis B. Haffenden is clerk in the commissary department here. The game among the non-commissioned officers in the past three months has been much like the childhood "But ton, button, who's got the button?" for the changes have been as far-reaching as they have been numerous. Among the men most recently advanced In rank are: Thomas M. Laughlin. Chester W. Brown, Clair Harpole and W. F. Feustil to Sergeants, and Simon C. Zwald, Reed Chamberlain, Frank H. Starr, Thomas Gorrie, Ralph H. Norris. Ernest P. Thorn, Fred C. Gordon. Eibert H. Clarke. Arthur W. Stockman to Corporals; II. E. Scott to cook; Harpld E. Pierson to mechanic, and Charles M.
