Orders Not Issued.
The official orders for the annual en-
campment of the National Guard have
not been issued by General Harries yet,
but the dates of outing and the order Of
things are pretty we'll understood now
because Of the fact that the rumor COM
uittee has worked overtime recently
and ascertained almost definitely what
would happen. The dates for the outing
which will be named IN General Harries
order VIII be July % to 81. and the or
der of things as previously stated in
The Times.
Whether or not the Naval Battalion
connection with the maneuvers Of the
infantry is wholly matter of conjec
ture. It is believed, however, that the
better plan would be for the tackles TO
have 1t separately, because they would
have TO remain along the Potomac River
If they went with the infantrymen,
while on the other hand ten days alone
would permit them to take cruise down
the Chesapeake and out TO sea- 1t is to
be hoped that General Harries will adopt
the last named plan.
On Thursday General Harries sent to
the Secretary of the Navy the nomina-
ton OF Lieutenant Brummett. acting
commander of the Naval battalion OF
the D. c. n. G., to be appointed lieu
tenant commander. There is every rea-
son for believing the nomination Will be
confirmed, for Lieutenant Brummett has
an excellent record
