Evening I.rdorr Staff Correspondent
CHHW CIIASB,' May 18. Incitement
reigned hero in tho femlnlno looklcs' camp
this morning when a pcrfumei' gold-tipped
clgnrctto was found In tho grass near one
of tho tents.
A matron from Baltimore, who was or
derly for tho day, was asked to account
for It. Sho declared with much emphasis
that nono of her tcntmates had had It.
Tho loncsomo clgnrctto caused so much
comment that If any of tho fair rookies aro
addicted to tho weed she will forego oven a
whiff until camp Is broken.
Tho camp n thrown Into another flurry
Just before tapj iast night when a series of
feminine screams rent the air. Those who
wero about to turn In didn't know whether
an invading Zeppelin had dropped a bomb
or tho Mexicans had reached hero. Flnnlly
it was learned that several of tho rookies
had braved an Icy shower bath. Tlicy
didn't expect such a frigid reception.
It was too muchi for their city constitu
tions nnd they fled, many say, before thor
oughly finishing the tn3k nt hand. Theso
"soldlcrlnes" will now bo content with n
concentrated bath composed of a few table
spoons of water surrounded by a tin basin.
A heavy rainstorm descended upon the
camp last night, and thoso rookies who left
tho flaps of tho tents open had to gropo
out with llashllghts and closo them In tho
midst of tho downpour.
Tho wind nnd the thunder helped to
create a"battleIlko atmosphere nnd the
heavenly artillery gavo many a faint Idea
of what real war must bo.
It was so damp that many of the rookies
piled their coatR on tho cots to keep warm.
Today tho girls of each company formed
baseball teams and Intend to play eacli
other beforo tho camp breaks up.
Mrs. Charles Belknap is captain of Com
pany D, which Is drilling hard overy day,
to try to capture, tho prizo for tho best
drilled company. Company C, winner of
tho prize for tho best camp, was captained
by Miss Francos Williams, sister of Mrs.

Miss Tower herself succumbed to the
shock consequent upon an operation. Al
though suffering from concussion of tho
brain, a frnctured shoulder nnd other hurts
received when a mldgilaid of tho over
turned car pinned her to tho ground, her
recovery was expected until noon ycsicr
day. From that hour she sank rapidly,
despite heroic measures by her physicians.
