TROUBLE
The Guard Detail Creates Trouble for Capt. LIE
May at Camp Mueller.

at Camp Mueller Thursday morning and
for a time it BODIED seriously for Capt.
LeMay. When the captains called for
volunteers Wednesday morning to do
guard duty during the turlough they
promised that the government would al
low the men rs cents day for meals to
be taken wherever desired The cap
tains had no authority for making such
a promise aside from the statement of
Col. Bobleter that an effort was being
made 20 get the governments consent to
such an arrangement, but they made it
and consequently found plenty Of VOL
unteers. At night, when it was announced
that only the usual rations would be is
sued, there was trouble at once. Many
of the boys had already purchased meal
tickets and the change in what they had
been made to believe were the plans an
gered them. Thursday morning not one
of the hundred would respond to roll
call. They remained in their tents and
sent word back to Capt. LeMay that
they would take the first train home. In
stead of trying to- reason with the boys,
LeMay attempted to enforce obedience
by putting one of the corporals under
arrest. This only embittered the boys
still more and threats were made on all
hands against Capt. LeMay.
At this juncture Maj. Wright appeared
and succeeded in concilating the men by
promising they would loose nothing by
staying and that if any had volunteered
under misrepresentation and insisted up
on going home he would wire to the
captains to send relief at once. The
in which Maj. Wri ght talked had
the effect of inducing the leaders of the
mutiny to apologize to him for their
conduct. Had the field officer been ab-
sent, however, there is not much doubt
that it would have gone hard with LIE
May. The incident explains in part the
dislike the men have tor some of the
junior officers. The failure of the latter
20 appeal to the judgment of the men
md their determination to carry their
points by sheer exercise of authority &C.
counts for it all. Trouble is feared for
