(Bp!.)- Company A and headquarters company arrived here Tuesday after noon shortly after ft o'clock, after an all night and day train trip. Owing to the lateness or our arrival mrro was hustle and bustle way into the nlaht before camp was finally esiao. 1 lnhcd. First of all tho meaa hall nad to be put In order and a meal pre pared then the tent had to be put un and bunks arranged o when taps sounded around U o'clock tired bunch of boys hit the bunks. Company A camo to camp throe men short, there being throe AWOL Privates Wealey R. Cillinfiky: How ard W. Griffin, and Dnryl M. Palmer. With the largest turnover of per sonnel In years Company A came to camp this year with a number of new non-com missioned officers, and for a while It waa thought that this would work a hardship on me company until the newly appointed officers could familiarize themselves with their duties. But strange to say things are functioning better than ever and the old company la clicking along 100 per cent which all goes to show that no matter how valuable a man thinks himself to be to an organization, sometimes when he passes out of it and some one else takes his place, the old ma chine seems to get along aomenow or other, and in thia instance It la really getting along better than evor. Appointments Made. Since arrival at camp the follow ing appointments have been made tn Company A: Sergeant Charles B.. Overmyer. Theodore L. Taylori cor porate, Howard V. Daugherty, Dolph W. Guyor and Warren P. Law: pri vates first dsns. Warren B. Flchtner, Allen W. Ryan and Dwlght E. Welch. This la one humdinger of a camp for work up early In the morning, a period of calesthenlcs, then break fast, and shortly after that we go out In the field a few miles from here and remain until noon, carry ing out field problems In prepara tion for the big fourth army mar neuver. which will take place for four day next week and In which over 16.000 men will participate. Back Into camp for dinner, then out In the field again for several hours, after which wo return to camp and niter a short rest period we get ready lor tho uaunl afternoon parade. Not much time is lrft at the end of the dny for Journeying Into town and n far most of the boys have been content to loaf around comp eve nings and Just take It easy. The camp this year la quite differ ent from our regular annua camps. All the frills have been cut out. The men came to camp with only their field equipment. Not even a dress cap waa allowed to be taken along. Instead of electric lights In the tents we have oil lanterns. No porcelain dishes. Instead we eat out of mow kits, and ao on down the line, the plan being to adapt the mm to actual war-time conditions. Kind of tough on us, but the boys dont let out a whimper. Ciok Is Pralsi-d. This Is the seventh year that Chief Cook Ralph Smith has been on the Job and we are sure glad he ts with us this year of all year, far the ration Is entirely different this year and It takes an expert to make a meal out of the red ticed equipment nnd supplies he has to work with. But In spite of all this the boys ere getting plenty of eats. Outside of a frw sore feet nnd an occasional slight allinrnt there ho been no sickness In the outfit ana the way the boys are getting hard ened Up on the preliminary maneu vers we expect to have the entire outfit out In the field next week for the four day "battle" wherein we engage the enemy and attempt to drive him hack.

When It's all over we will be nearlng the end of camp and thinking of home again. The weather has been fine here. Days are warm, but not too hot and nights are cool.
