\Otomachs are Jcept In good repair and
comfortably filled with well prepared

ffc accomplished, the war and navy de;
JKLpartments are laying great stress on
gXjlhe proper selection and preparation
.of food for the soldiers. The mess

Inmost as important a training place for

Since, his arrival, the presumption s,

x Interest In all forms of athletics Is fi
trery keen ajrlhe Camp Greene deten- &
tion camp. An athletic committee n
composed of Messrs. Peterson, Comp- ?
ton,;Tewell. White and Wolf was reuently
appointed, whose duty it will
t*e Lt> maintain and direct the activities
at this camp. A strong baseball c
team was organized some time since, a
md it has met and defeated a num- t]
t>er of the strong teams in camp. T
Captain McGeehan, who is the ath- ?
letic and welfare officer at the deten- ?
lion camp, is greatly Interested in all
rorms of sport. (By the way, Captain e
McGeehan was in private life the b
sporting editor of The New York Tribune),
One kind of exercise that the ?
men of this camp get is quite unique 0
In military circles. As was stated g
some time since in Trench and Camp, \
'arming operations on rather an ex* ti
teilSIve scale are carried on by the c
soldiers. The work on the farm not ft
Dnly furnishes good -exercise for the F
men', but they are aiding materially E
in the production of the food which C
they .will consume. . r
