TIMMEKMAN, Tribune Staff Correspondent. CAM P KEAKXY, Col, Pee. 1 Now that the Utah boys at Camp Kearny have been iveii the 'once over' by I'nele Sam which took plaoe at the reoent review and drew forth flattering continents I from representatives ot the government : who watched with visible piyns of pride their perfect lines as they flashed past t the si nrnls, the sun-browned artil'.ery-I artil'.ery-I men are now preparing for an inspee- tion which to them is no less impor- tnnt. This will be the visit of parents, j relatives, sweethearts and friends from Utah who are expected at the eantxm-i eantxm-i in en t duriiie the Christmas holidays, j The ruling that no furloughs will be j sanctioned unless for urpent reasons has ! practically " placed . a taboo -on the i chanoesef the men leavinfor visits ' at home""" during these mid winter holidays. holi-days. As the result hundreds of peo-i peo-i pie from Utah will probably come here to visit the bovs in action. ; Fathers, mothers, brothers and rela-! rela-! tives who do visit the khaki-clad men j in the southern training camp are going to find decidedly different men from 1 the ones who stood before the recruit-i recruit-i ing officer and signed their names to j the enlistment blanks and they are going to find out many things which ' tne bovs have failed to mention in j their letters diie to modesty. Utah Shows Speed. "From the time the artillerymen rolled their rirst gun from the long flat cars in the Canr.i Kearny railroad yards and made ai'pareut what Utah ''pep' and enthusiasm really is even in a downpour down-pour of rain they started the tongues wagging at the cantonment and they have not stilled since. Comfortably settled in their, new home a day later, they started forward to make friends in other organizations of the training camp, and once the ball was rolling :t gained headwav with amazing speed. Then they tackled the real work, with every man on the job with his ears and eyes wide ooen. and a desire to learn keen within him. A few days later the other organizations of the artillery brigade bri-gade began to draw upon Utah for instructors, in-structors, for special details, and for men to fill imrort3nt positions at brigade bri-gade headquarters and divisional headquarters head-quarters even selected her share to i serve on special boards. I Utah Sets the Pace. j The" efficiency of the organization Lhas climbed, and climbed with each passing dav. At work it has already . attained the distinction of being the mot advanced unit in the artillery department de-partment at the cantonment at play it has won the divisional champioinin on the o rid iron, which is no easy juh at a camp where every organization sports a brawny team. And, as mentioned before, the visitors visit-ors are goinsr to find a great individual I chance among the men. For instance, here is a man who in civil life in L'tah might bo clipping bonds instead of cl' ' ' - the reeling? from ' i pude ' ' and got! ing a bawling out f mm the cook, wno has just completed a Hoover lesson and is trying to impress the idea "the leis ieeling the more potato.'' pota-to.'' Ba:k home this same man might easilv buv a trainload of potatoes, even at winter prices but here he listens a ten tivcly to the cook and then gnrs about his task with greater caution. h ha? alreadv learned the lesson thrift."

Freckleton, a Provo boy, is hard at work trying to figure out which man shall next go on guard and who shall compose the detail for tomorrow to-morrow 's work in the gun emplacements. emplace-ments. Corporal Freckleton 's hard work since enlistment has sent him from the rear rank to first-class private and tuen to corpora! and finally landed him in the chair of the battery clerk. He is First Sergeant Boshard "s right-hand right-hand n.tn. and if a man goes on guard before his turn, it is before him that he airs his troubles.
