Adams, the new captain of First Com
panyor rather 484th company under
tlie revised military alignment has
recently issued "first orders" to this
command. After the recital of a num
ber of technical details, Capt. Adams
reviews the outlook prospectively from
both a business and social standpoint.
'""' "
follows;
The 4S4th company has made a rec
ord second to none in shooting, admin
istrative efficiency and excellence of
mess, all of which we may well look
upon with pride. Our attendance
record is the only record in which we
have failed. Let's get behind and
boost, and with the old company spirit
back of us, we will go to the top in this
also.
Drills will be varied, interesting and
instructive, and cover every possible
phase of infantry and artillery work.
In addition, instruction will be given In
boxing, wrestling, hand-to-hand fight
ing, calisthenics, bayonet drill and
first aid. Lectures by experts on hy
giene, sanitation, army paper work,
radio and other subjects will he given
at frequent intervals.
Entertainments,' cabarets, plays and
social dances, parties and feeds will he
held, and an occasional visit en masse
' to the theatre, free of charge, will be
made as often as advisable.
As to routine activities, including
drills, etc., Capt. Adams In these initial
orders admonishes the men as to
duties expected of them, reminders all
01 which are "for the good of the ser
vice." In desperation over the complica
tions threatened by recall measures, a
local woman implored a suffrage sister
lor advice in the emergency how,
when, and for whom to cast a ballot
and received the following by mall
under special stamp delivery: "Dear
Jane: Have the band at the skirt bot
tom, also the band yoke, made of a
pretty red broadcloth embroidered in
the pattern as shown, using the wors
teds. The blue rose with the green
leaves will heighten the effect.'
