NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL
Des Moines, July Is. 1904.

DeS MONIES, july 20. EO3.
Adiutant General Byers says it has
been concluded to select details from
all the companies Of the guard, outside
of the Fifty-first regiment. for the pur-
pose of bringing that regiment up to
the required strength of SIG officers
and men, which it must have when IL
goes to the maneuvers at Fort Riley.
The orders of the war department are
thatthe regiment must have astrength
of SIG. The Fifty-fifth has something
over 500 officers and men. Instead of
adding to ii companies from other regi-
ments, Adjutant General Byers will
have details of five or six men each
sent from the other companies in the
service. This will give some of the
members of each company in heguard
taste of real campaigning. The dates
for the regimental camps in the state
have been revised and definitely fixed.
The Fifty-third will camp from August
Is to 20, the Fifty-fourth from Septem-
Der IL to September is, and the Fifty.
sixth from September to 8 inclusive.
