Wednesday with Colonel Lane md Lieu
tenant Colonel Evans ab ut the feeling among
the mass Of the rank and file of the First
Maryland Regiment at Camp Meade. Pa, on
tine question of further service. He stated
that n large majority Of Col. Lanes boys are
for remaining in the volunteer ranks. at least
for awhile. Governor Lowndes said he con-
sidered Camp Meade good place for n
military camp. He said that by the time
the First Regiment moves to Cuba or Porto
Rico with the rest OF General Graham's
Second Army Corps the men would be in
fine shape physically. The Governor stated
that he had been importuned to ask for a
number Of discharges for men Of this regi-
ment. but had recommended very few. Where
a man presented good reasons such as n
large family dependent upon his earnings
after entering the service, he favored his
release. 1t is thought there will be a num-
Der OF discharges as result of the Governors
visit to Camp Meade. Colonel Lane has no
fear OF not securing enough recruits to take
the places Of those who 90 out.
