Straw hats had indeed taken a nlest seedy appearance, and the general interest in colors which had been awakened caused the public to discard straws almost to a man on the 15th, and net- urally a substitute therefor was in many cases purchased immediately. Straw Hate. 7 The retail and wholesale hat buyer who read and profited by the reading of the suggestions recently published in The American Hatter has had oc- casion more than once to congratulate himself on his forethought and shrewd- ncas: and when in these columns the result but is exploited as being the proper stylofor 1905. and the one that will more than likely receive the bulk of public approval. the reader will do well to consider the information and not upon it as Well. «The split braid situation today is such that it is most thoroughly an no» satisfactory but for all handsiohanib lo. The manufacturer. owing to th'e in-' .rronsod pricn, cannot give the same value as a year or two ago and make any profit. and as it is a forgone con- clusion that the straw manufacturers. shrewd merchants as they are. do not run their business for time or glory. the natural outcome is that the 1905 split hats. made to sell at last year's prices. do not give the same value as a much inferior article. and would serve his patrons much better were he to buy a wellvmade sonnit hat that will in the end he more satisfactory to-‘all concerned.

The Medical Corps served with our troops and the Hospital Corps had duty‘wllh the base and field hospitals as most'nceded. The troops were in Virginia Just ‘a week; a. day for transportation each way made. the total service nine days. the severe service began Tuesday morning at 4:30 and continued four, days. The maneuver plans comprised two problems; the first, taking two days; in which the bloc. army was the attacking and the brown, the defend— lug force; the second. also lasting problems; the first. taking‘two days two days, in which the brown army made the attack and the blue, the do tense. For four days and three nights there was but little opporluni. ty for long continued sleep.

Were the maneuvers worth to our troops, tile time they gave. the hard travel to Virginia and back and the hardships of the service there? The mass of those who went will answer the question in the affirmative. it taught the troops to rely upon them- selves in the field. the officers to be careful and thorough about their sub- sistence supplies, rations, cooking out- fits, all duartcrmastcrs and commie nary stores. There was vexatlon, in saline instances hunger for a limo because Of delay in supplies reaching ‘me‘n posted considerable distances away and at inacceslble places, some times in territory so concealed that they could hardly be found or reach. ed by wagon trains. in some cases luck ‘of rations was dues to failure of inexperienced officers to properly pro- vide them, in others, to failure of com- ‘nandlng officers to obey orders we scribing the rations to be taken on leaving camp. Wagon transportatioa Was not always available, a fault due usually to teamsters hired by the quartormastor's department. At times the work was cxhpusting. hut-d march- ou, insufficient sleep. occasional delays in getting rations, a few rare instances )f lack of good water, when wagon trains hauling water to troops away from good water supply were delayed, )r unable to find the men. some or all these causes told severely on the troops. But their recuperating power was remarkable, A hearty supper and it good night's sleep brought them around in good condition. and ready for more work. Our‘ state troops stood the hardships much better than most of those of other states. because for three years we had given them field worktat encampment times. when they, had to make their own camps, cook their rations arid core‘for themselves. Our brigade encampments, too, when the organizations had worked ‘toueth~ or as a brigade nmterl'ally‘helpcd to. fit them for this service. : That fact was clearly demonstrated on the re‘ view. The association with regular army troops was of material benefit. it showed us how professional soldiers whose entire time is given to soldier— ins. do things, object lessons in mili- tary courtesy and department as well as in drill and performance of other duty.» The regulars were at their" best 'onduci; they had been ordered to, speciallycooperate with and assist the state soldiers by exalnpie and effort. and they showed a spirit of genuine helpfulness. Regular oflICers found new. prob tents in the extensive character of the maneuvers and! could not prevent eonv fusion and delays in many things they never beforevatten’ipted, but a geneml fouling of consideration prevailed for officers of both services who were faithfully trying, to dotheir best. flar- mony. and mutual good feeling pro veiled amour; the regular and state officers.
