CAMP TUNNELI, MLDDLETowN, Apri 80.
Above every other topic OF coll, l.a-
ton INDUCED in by the troops in camp
is the threatened placing OF regular army
officers over the Delaware National
Guard.
Many conferences were held today at
| headquarters and it is said that the re-
suit OF them all is the emphatic deter
mination of the officers and men not to
submit to the breaking up OF the present
organization.
Strict army discipline now exists in
Camp Tunnel and the soldier boys have
all expressed themselves as enjoying the
condition OF affairs.
Today's fine weather, the exhilarat-
ing air and plenty OF good eating put the
boys in fine spirits, and when the camp
was beseiged by a crowd OF MiddIetown
girls this afternoon, the members of the
First Regiment nearly forgot the ones to
whom letters had just been written, and
received the Middletown fair ones with
Il royal welcome.
Colonel &. Parke Postles, Inspector OF
Rifle Practice, assisted by Louis J. Allen,
civil engineer of the Delaware railroad,
today finished laying out the rifle range

among the members OF Company = to-
day, when word was passed around that
IT Was likely that Company Z would be
