The various state organizations have
heretofore had little insight into the
practical work required on shipboard
at sea from a regular man-of-wars-
man, and as a result when many of the
battaliOns were sent to vessels last
summer for war service the lack of
proper instruction was sadly evident.
To remedy this deficiency in training
is the purpose of the Prairie's summer
cruise, which is expected to continue
up to October l, giving the naval mill
Louisiana 10 Massachusetts full week
of actual sea drill, including working,
navigating and fighting the ship.

INVESTIGATION
May Exonerate the Minnesota Col
Onel.

Onel.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 10 Friends
of the Fifteenth Minnesota regiment
are hopeful that the suspicion of un-
becoming conduct under which the re-
giment has rested since the mutiny at
Augusta, Ga, when the regiment was
mustered out of the service, will be in
q measure found groundless by the
court of inquiry which convened here
today.
The investigation will apply only to
the case of Colonel Harry L. Leon
hauser, who was In command of the
regiment, but as all of the officers are
to be allowed to testify and to have
their statements made matter Of re-
cord, it is felt that an exoneration of
Colonel Leonbauser will apply equally
to the other officers, who have been
accused of being negligent and res
popsible for the casualties resulting
from the insu bordination at Augusta.
