They are a strong lot of men, and ragged in many ways, but are travelling fast for short distances. The remaining five days are not too much to get them working’ smoothly.

Yale Wen in the Platoon Delighted With Prospect of Good Tools, Niantic, Conn., June 14.—The monot- ony of daily drilling with imperfect equipments was happily broken on Monday for the Yale platoon as well as for the others of Light Battery A, Connecticut Volunteers, now at»*Gamp Haven, by the arrival of four new field pieces. The new guns are direct from the Watervliet Arsenal and have never been fired except for testing purposes. The length is about 7 feet or almost 2 feet more than that of the old pieces — the Battery has used. The diameter is the same, 37/10 inches. Of course they are much more rapid in handling and more effective. The pieces were accompanied by the limbers and a quantity of ammunition. With the guns came other supplies from Washington, including unlined or Summer blouses, light underwear, shoes and socks and blue flannel shirts. “The hot weather recently has made the wearing of heavy bebe clothing a considerable hard- ship. The good beginning of the week was continued when, at noon on Tuesday, two large hampers were brought into Camp, addressed to the Yale platoon. They were filled to the top with broiled chickens, crackers, cake, doughnuts, fruit, and preserves. It is not unrea- sonable to believe that the monotony of camp food will be broken in the Battery for a day or so. The donors were Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Farrell of Ansonia. The engagement of a colored cook is rated one of the best investments possible, for by it the men are relieved of a work that few are qualified to fill. They not only are well fed themselves, but they contribute to the good of the rest of the Battery with the cook’s deli- cacies, for which a reasonable charge is made, and the proceeds laid aside for extras. Excellent health prevails. The Naval Battalion, First Division, Commander E. G. Buckland, in which are. over thirty graduates and under- graduates, stayed but one week at Camp, having gone to Boston yester- day, where drilling will begin on the receiving ship Wabash. From that ship PASSPORTS and WAR MAPS Passports procured on three days’ notice on application to New Haven Custom House. The finest Govern- ment charts of Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippine Islands, the West India Islands, and the Atlantic coasts and harbors kept on sale at Government prices. | they will be detailed as needed to serve in the U.S. Navy. The Prompt Action of the War Department. Yale men at New Haven, who have been watching the fortunes of Light Battery A, with very deep interest, be- came convinced a few days ago that it was advisable to make a_ personal representation at Washington im regard to the conditions at Camp Haven. It was felt that the War Department would appreciate the situation as soon as the case should be taken up, and to that end a special request for early action was determined on. Col. N. G. Osborn, ’80, consented to go to Washington in the matter. It goes without saying that Secretary Porter, 778, took up the mat- ter with energy and _ success. Col. Pettit, formerly the army officer detailed at Yale, who is still in the Adjutant General’s office, was also particularly zealous. The matter was at once given -the most favorable consideration by Secretary Alger, Adjutant-General Cor- bin and the other officials of the War Department, who seemed most ready to do everything possible for the Battery. Before Col. Osborn left Washington orders had been issued for shipment of all articles necessary for perfect equip- ment, from four three-inch breech- loading guns to a paper of tacks. It meant about thirty thousand dollars worth of stuff in all. A good deal of it is already at Camp.Haven. The members of the Connecticut delegation in Washington, in particular Senator Hawley and Congressman N. OD. Sperry, took a lively and active interest in the Washington end of the matter. oS RRS Sas be tei ae seca Tate ae a ae ” sa Medical School Annual. The Medical School Annual was put on sale last week.
