ECHOES OF RECENT CAMP
ECHOES OF RECENT CAMP

Although most of the officers and men
of the District of Columbia National Guard
have been indulging to certain extent in
a well-earned rest this week, the quarter
master general and the commissary gen.
eral and their assistants have been really
buster than was the case before going to
camp. The return of tentage and other
equipage and their stowage in the store
rooms, to say nothing of the settling of
accounts. requires considerable time and
the expenditure of much labor. In other
particulars everything is quiet and is likely
TO remain so until fall. everywhere. with
the exception of the neighborhood of Naval
Battalion headquarters. Preparations for
the annual cruise of the jackies renders
the situation decidedly lively in their vi
entity.
First Lieutenant ]. NJ Love, jr, 9Th

year served faithfully and efficiently
adjutant general of the local militia has
taken his departure from the city to join
his regiment ordered to the Philippines

to all with whom he came in contact while
here, and his leaving caused sincere re-
greet.
1t is understood that Major Theodore
