Fort Riley, Kas., Oct. PA review OF
all the troops in camp, 10000 in number,
was held this morning in Smoky Hill

most part stained with hard work, but the
men after weeks of drill were in excellent
condition, and when they streamed in long,
close set ranks past the reviewing stand,
General Ivan Hamilton, of the British
army repeatedly expressed his gra6fica-
ton.
