Camp Douglas, Wis, July 2s.-The
Second regiment, Colonel Nathan e. Nor
gan commanding, is in camp at this place.
The regiment arrived Saturday afternoon
and will remain until Saturday morning.
The Second regiment Is composed of COM
panies located in the smaller towns, but
nevertheless Colonel Morgan's men have
the reputation of being the best work
ers In the state, and many of the head
quarters staff are free in saying that for
all around work this organization excells.
It's drills and parades thus far have
created most favorable impression.
Colonel Worthy H. Patton of Oshkosh,
for many years commander Of the regi-
ment, arrived in camp Sunday and was
rendered review in the evening. Lieu
tenant Colonel Greutzmacher Of Ripon
had charge of the parade.
During the week Colonel Morgan ex-
poets to give each Of his captains an op-
portun1ty to handle battalion on regi-
mental drill, believing that the instruc-
tion thus derived will be very beneficial.
Special attention will be given to guard
and sentinel duty, and Lieutenant Charles
j. McCrory of Marinette has been de-
tailed as special instructor. Captain Nor
r1son. the regular army inspector, Is also
keeping his eye on this work, taking
every sentinel individually and talking
to him on post.
Services were held Sunday morning at
headquarters, Chaplain E. H. Smith of
Oshkosh presiding. J,

Wisconsin guardsmen have been made
happy by the receipt of the Krag-Jorgen-
sen rifles, and the Second will receive
the new issue before leaving for home.
Wisconsin is the first state in the west
to get the new rifle, and much credit is
due Adjutant General G. R. Boardman.
In all 1922 rifles have been received for
the infantry and sixty carbines for the
troop of cavalry, together with belts, bay
onets, scabbards and gun sings.
+ The First regiment, which broke camp
last Saturday, took the new rifles home
with them. Each company receives sixty
rifles, but no target practice will be in
dulged in this year.
a Congressman In Camp

camp with the First regiment for the
purpose of making critical examination
rft ha ryN,. of f1of yn f11,
pleased with what he saw:
Lieutenant Governor Davidson, in the
absence of Governor La Toilette, reviewed
the First regiment on Thursday last. The

then at a ,trot and finally at a gallop, ito

The Krag-Jorgensen guns that have
been received are Of the latest pattern,
1902 model, and came direct from the

the latest pattern.
