has been organized which has decided

vention week will be mammoth pic

Heretofore encampments have been by
regiments. but brigade encampments
were decided upon in order that the
guard could be given better military
experience. The new plan will permit
of maneuvering on larger scale and

tions Of the United States army. En-
campments of the past have partaken
too much of dress parade aspect-boil-
ed shirts, standing collars, immaculate
gloves, white duck uniforms, pretty
ties, ETC., being characteristic of them;
but all this is to be tabooed in future
encampments. All play is to be elm
mated and the members Of the guard
are to be given a taste Of what the
regular soldier is called upon to per-
form while in actual service. The per-
from six to ten days.
