rades who had failed to pass the very
rb'id examinations left camp for Barre.

sical ability Ihey have all performed
their duty as true and loyal American
citizens,

they were going to muster when they
left homo find it very different from
what they expected and Ihey complain
of the cold nights when they have to
..turn in" not into a .warm bed but onto
a Icird matrass witll simply one blanket
to protect them from the cold night air.
We all have reason to complain on ac
count of the small supply of blankels
and hope more will be issued soon.
