The drills will ordi- rily be conducted at the local head- arters in the evenings, so that the wal business of the members of the mpany will be interfered with as tle as possible. The term of en- ment is for three years ,but men be: honorably discharged upon tering the federal service, change residence or other similar ade- e causes. Uniforms and other ment are supplied by the state, find men are paid during the term of le encampment and when on active ice. Enlistment in the local com- s offers an excellent opportunity - men who are at present unable ter the federal army to obtain tary experience and to perform services vitally needed at the sent time. Camp for Regiment. he Eleventh Regiment, when or- ed, will be sent to camp, either Camp Logan or Springfield, prob- for about two weeks of training the early part of September. After s return of the local company from it will drill at the village head- ters as a unit distinct from the al military training corps. Recruits are being received daily the local company. One of the questions every new recruit asks- "Will not this regiment be pressed to the state service and perhaps be dere dabroad?" This question has en answered from time to time, never the new regiment has been liscussed, but there still seems to be great number of possible recruits whom it is yet necessary to ex- n that this particular regiment not be mustered into federal serv- nder the law providing for its iting. : Board of Managers of Arden Shore Association Will Open New Buildings for Inspection Next Week n St. New Dining Hall and Administration Building at Arden Shore Camp.

Dr. Brown; with Miss Van Aken, oraduate nurse, and Mrs. Henri Dele- becque, official interpreter, with other nurses furnished by some gen- erous contributor, will establish a dispensary near the front for women and children of the locality, many of whom have been living in cellars for the last two years. The condition of the non-combatant inhabitants of these regions is most pitiful. Babies are born blind for lack of the most rudimentary care, and dis- ease and vermin in most loathsome form are rife amongst the women and children. All equipment, surgical instru- ments, bandages, dressings and even alcohol lamps for furnishing heat for disinfecting, must be shipped at once for the use of Dr. Brown. Mr. Sharp, of Sharp & Smith, has most gener- ously contributed a part of his equip- ment. Anyone wishing to give for this purpose may mail his check to French Wounded, 60 E.
