Colonel Weed, from the office of the sui-geon-general, Washington, D.

Army Base Hos pital, Camp Greene, is under way and should be completed by the first of September, according to Contractor J. A. .Tones, who has the building of the structure. The building is going up at the southeast corner of the hospital grounds, where ah opening has been cleared among the pines. The sup porting pillars are to be the trunks of the big trees which were cut down to. make room for the home. Dimensions of the one-story frame building are 24 fe'et by 156 feet. The struce is in the form of two bodies connected by sorridors. It will house one hundred nurses. TAKE EXAM SEVEN SERGEANTS MAY BE MADE OFFICERS. Seven sergeants of the Base Hos pital were examined on last^Saturday for commissions as second lieutenants in the sanitary corps.

FOUR MAMMOTH OVEN'S WILL BAKE SOLDIERS’ BREAD. The new structure being reared in the center of the camp is the future camp bakery. It is one of the larg est in the training camps of the Unit ed States. Four great ovens will bake bread faster than a whole army of hungry , boys could put the product away with a sprinkling of sugar and co try butter. There will be nearly a hundred bakers used to feed the oven holds when the camp is filled to ca pacity. ■ . The bakery building itself is 135 feet by 100 feet in size and construct ed of pine around the huge ovens. It is expected that the work on the building 'will be completed within a month. Formerly the camp had been sup plied by a field bakery, which was a set of ovens on wheels. The make shift bakery is being used until the permanent one is completed. This latest piece of construction work is held as a final evidence of the permanency and possible capacity ot Camp Greene. PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
