C. shall be equipped with barracks caps," said the war department. "All right," said Colonel Morrison, "they look better than bats anyway." But when the war department took stock it found that it did not have enough caps to supply the unit. Now, with the shipping lists of the unit's uniforms arrived, minus those for caps or hats, the prospect seems emmlnent of a military organization wearing the army khaki with civilian headgear or no headgear at all. The military department announces that the field artillery unit will begin to drill out of doors early In March. The department of grounds and build ings is preparing to grade a 75-foot square gun-park on the ground north rf the Social Science building and wi erect a small shed to house the four cannons of the unit which are nn stored at the state fair grounds. The Nebraskan expects shortly to print stories of feats of bravery performed by the heroic field artillery In the rock-strewn no-mans land east of Twelfth street. However, the field artillery unit will have no monopoly on the glory for the military department recently received a shipment of 1,200 rifles for the infantry regiment and will issu" them as soon as the coatings of oil in which they are packed can be re moved. Six hundred of these rifles are Springfields and the remainder are Enflelds. The former, because they are a little the lighter, will be issued the State Farm companies in which Tic younger men are enrolled. The department announces the fol lowing changes In assignments of of ficers : Captain Herring to be trans ferred from Company A to Company C; Captain Salter to be transferred from Company C to Company A. The Pershing Rifles, a crack com pany, will he organized soon and drill will be under way with added vim within a week or so if the weather and other conditions are favorable.
