LETTERS FRO
MORE PENN STATE MEN
GET TO CAMP HANCOCK
Camp Hancock, all
My Dear Cremswell:—
You will think that I am a very poot
correspondent 1 expect, but it is not
easy to get down to wilting letters.
There are always many things that
should be done ut once and these fist
things use up all the energy you have.
As the walk hero opens up, we find that
wo had had a very inadequate concep

find something to do every minute of

Work seems to be going on as usual
in the great war game. There is a Ms

work this month and I presume next
will show further changes The engi

revetment, with bridge work and recon

evening with various tasks .luxt•out

the new regulations the Infann3man
must be adept In most every kind of

various manoeuvers of two huge regi
ments. amounting to nearly 0,000 men
This can be seen dully on the pottiest
of the reservation assigned to the 111th
and 112th Infantrl. It is an inspiring
night to see this magnificent body of
men on parade and review Friday
afternoons. The companies ate non
260 men, almost a regiment In former
days Tho companies are divided Into
four squads, each under the command
of IL lieutentant, while the captain com

Great emphasis is being put on bayo

the camp you can see on nll sides

of war. It is becoming more real ever,

from eager soldiers.
