SITE FOR THE ENCAsiPM:NT.
As the weather becomes warmer the
| discussion regarding the probable site for
the next encampment of the Guard grows
| in interest At present the situation is
such that it is difficult to predict where
the citizen soldiery of the National Capt.
tai will get their nearest approach to
actual service next summer. Gathers
burg, the location Of the camp last year,
seems to meet with plenty of objection,
but the respect in which it displeases
many is not exactly evident. As a gen.
eral rule, there appears to be an inclina-
ton to hold the encampment elsewhere
this year, but few locations have been
suggested. Leesburg, Va. where the en-
campmeut OF 1899 was held has been sug-
gested. There is strenuous objection to
Jim Crow law which affects the trans
p"rtation facilities. According to the pro-
visions Of this statute of the Old Domin-
ion the colored and white troops would
be obliged to travel in separate cars.
This is obnoxious to many of the officers
of the Guard, who hold that there should
he no discrimination against any men,
Der Of the Guard on account of
race. They say a soldier is enti-
tied TO an the rights of any citi-
zen. no matter what his color may be.
WarreEton, Va, is another location sug-
sestcd. 1t is stated that the natural ia
cilities for camp there are Of the best.
\ staf meeting will be held at militia
headquarters next Monday night and it
is likely the question of location for the
encampment will then be discussed. Cen
eral Harries has asked the officers of his
stan to keep sharp lookout for suitable
sites Tor the eilcampment.
The effect of the anti canteen regula-
ton passed at the last session of Con-
gress VIII be watched with considera bic
| interest during the coming encampment.
With scarcely single exception. the
officers OF the Guard predict that drunk
enness Will be more prevalent than when
the canteen supplied the wants of the
thirsty soldiers. They argue that SOL
der will get IA drink II he wants one
and that il he has to go several miles to
quench his thirst he will be more inclined
to overdO the thing than If he could get
drink at the canteen.
