So many changes have been made all
through the boat that Mr. Rodgers
finds it impossible to get them together
just yet. 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.

EQUIPMENTS FOR THE BATTERY.
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

they will be detailed as needed to serve

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.
