BOYS IN A SHAM FIGHT
SHARP BUT BLoODLEss BATTLE
AT CAMP THOMAS

Fourteenth Minnesota Included in
the Attacking Party-An Entire
Division of Nine Thousand Men
Took Part In the Spectacular
mauga-News of the Companies.
Special to The st. Paul Globe.
CHICKAMAUGA, May %. = The
Fourteenth regiment took part in the
exciting sham battle that was the
spectacular feature today at Camp
Thomas. The whole Second division
was engaged, and the Minnesota regi-
ment, which is a part Of the Third
brigade, was part Of the attacking
party. The Second brigade Of the d.
vision was surprised, according to the
ofncial programme, by the First and
Third, and there was a sharp but blood
less engagement before the Second,
though it comprised only about one
third of the 5000 men engaged was
CT 1npelled to acknowledge itself de-
feated.
The day was warm, and the engage
ment nearly as exhausting as a real
battle would have been, but the Mime
sofa boys came out of it with very
little discomfort, all things considered.
There were no casualties in either the
Fourteenth or any of the other regi-
ments engaged, the day in this respect
being much more fortunate than 9TH
ers of similar kind have been. These
battle drills, it is announced officially,
are to be a part Of the regular camp
life. 1t has been found that their eff
feet is excellent in teaching the. officers
and men just what will be required Of
them in real battle, and, as that is the
object most desired, their probable
number is indefinite.

evident that Senior Polo considered it

Queen Louise Of Denmark is the wife
OF King Christian X, who was born In
1918. HIS queen Is a few years younger,
but still SO old that she is one Of the
most aged soverelgns now on q throne.
Until recently Queen Louise was as
spry as girl. but during the last six
months she has shown that she was
failing. The death Of Gladstone made
great impression upon her, and she
grieyed SO sincerely that she was con-,
fined to her bed for week following.
Her affection for him she feels through
her daughter, Alexandra, Princess OF
Wales. who was personal friend Of
Gladstone's for over thirty years.
