A. Caddro of 691 Tenth Members of Old Ninth Regiment Eager to Get Into Action. WILL PUBLISH NEW PAPER The Range Tinder Will Have Many Xovel Features Chaplain Lan-dabl in Charge. (Special to The Eagle.) Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook. X.

March 9 With the arrival of more settled weather the men stationed here are being put through rigid drills. The resumption of real hard work makes up a schedule which keeps the men busy from reveille until retreat, and by that time they are pretty well tired out and ready to spend the evenings in their respective barracks. Word has gone around that several companies will soon leave for overseas service and the men are eager for a chance to get into action. The Fifty-seventh Regiment is about to publish the first issue of a paper to be known as The Range Finder. The publication has been approved by all officers at the post.

Chaplain Landahl, U. S. A will act as counselor. The idea originated Willi the Sand published by the old Twenty-fourth Company, Ninth Coast Artillery, which is now lesigmited as Battery I-', Fifty-seventh Regiment, and the staff 'is made up of four men, hers of the old Sand Soothers. L.

II. Gidding, R. K. I.iehowitz and G. A.

Ryan, and inemhers of the live other batteries. The Range Finder is exceptionally fortunate in securing Che services of two very good artists. Kopsco and Kirhy, whose sketches and cartoons will appear regularly. Hie aim of the staff is to publish the 'Range Finder from time to tune, a dime, each time." even when the regiment enters the field. It will contain sixteen pages, and officers will contribute to its columns.

All the new and doings of the regiment will be pul.i.-lied. after being pronerlv cen sored by officers at headquarters. The nrs; issue will He or great interest to the men, as it will contain messages from Major S. A ami Cniplam Landahl. Local battery paragraphs will be an important feature.

The profits derived from the publication will bo donated to the entertainment, social and welfare service of the Fifty- seventh Regiment, Captain Landahl will be custodian of this fund. New I Hi forms Arrive. During the last week, the men were given new uniforms, a large number of which arrived at the Quartermaster's storehouse a week ago. The men note that there is a vast difference in tile material of their old uniforms and that in the new, and they declare that when they get, into active co these new uniforms will not stand I lie i All sorts of rumors are rife here. One soldier says he has it from the "lies! authority'' that the men are going lo move from Sandy Hook within a week, while another comes along with the statement, that he.

knows the boys are not going to quit Hancock until after April 1. As a matter of fact, nobody knows anything about the time any unit is to go away, but all believe Uiat the time is not very far distant. One of the new orders here is that the men are not permitted to put away any article of food to cat during the night. Heretofore the men have secured honie-mado cakes and goodies of different kinds, which thev enjoyed during the long evening hours. This practice must now be stopped.

The little feasts that bad become popular In the barracks arc greatly missed. The fact that some of the companies are due to leave soon has caused the number of visitors on Sundays to grow very large. With good weather to-morrow, another large crowd is ex-, pectcd. The boys in khaki look forward to Sunday as a day on which they will greet parents, sisters and brothers or friends. i The arrival of the noonday mail' ts about the biggest event In camp.

It is a picture to see the eagerness with which the men stand about the messenger who carries the company mail from the postofflee. As the names on the letters and packages are read the men jump forward to claim their mail and go away happy, for nothing pleases the soldier more than a letter from home.

Wo Expense for Private, All privates and non-commissioned officers in the Army receive free of charge their equipment, rations and quarters.

An officer in the Army faces the following 'expense: First will average almost $50 per month for the first year, including original cost and replacement. Fp to date he has had to purchase this equipment ill the open market at an average expense 0J j45o for foreig Second Mess, whether on home service or on foreign service. If on detached duty it is increased. The cost of mess averages from $40 to J60 per month, and the officer has absolutely no decision as to how much it shall cost. Third Quarters.

In many of the southern camps the officer is compelled to pay. for, and often to build, his own temporary quarters. At Camp Wadsworth, for instance, It costs a lieutenant $24 to construct the quarters he lives in, and they are only of Fourth Insurance costs the officer from to $7 per month. Fifth Practically every officer, as a matter of patriotism, has to pay monthly toward the Liberty Loan. If he subscribes only $100 that will cost him $10 per month.

Sixth In addition, if the officer is married he must maintain quarters for his family. This is not provided In war times as in peace times. If he attempts to maintain his family near ho price exe. s- a distance he is not able them against exploitation. CORPORAL BUHLER AT HOME reeepti.
