CAMP MURRAY, Wash., Aup. 30.
(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. Where wo go no
one knows, hut we are nil looking

over we will be nearlng the end of
