A MILITARY PAGEANT
This Dress Parade is the Climax of a
Busy Day at Camp Lee---A Tri-
butte Paid Among Others
to Ensign Worth
BaqIey.
BY EDWARD e. BRITTON.

Camp Lee, Morehead City, n c.,
Aug. 12.-The climax of today was
che enthusiasm Which was shown in
he dress parade this afternoon when
he two regiments with banners flying
and with music blaring, attracted a
great crowd to the parade ground.
The interest in military manoeuvers
IS extending among the people at
Morehead City and the Atlantic Hotel,
the visitors from those places this af-
ternoon making so brave display that
officers and privates lined up in their
work and stepped along or rode along,
With increasing military ardor.
After the parade a band concert,
given in front of the Second Regiment
headquarters in honor of Col. J. n.
craig by the Reidsville band, was an
other attraction.
The splendid discipline maintained
IN the camp is the admiration of all.
There have been no great misdoings
worthy of notice and the admirab BILE be-
haVior of the troops en- route has been
duplicated by the conduct of the men
here The offices show zeal in their
work and this spirit perVades the en-
tire camp.
1t is to be noticed that the privates
are pleased with the camp and with
the attention shown to them. The
earlier discomforts have been over
come, and only the kicker who can't
be cured is heard to complain.
No set of officers could be more
painstaking than those gathered in
Camp Lee. The details of the day
show that regular work was carried
on promptly at the hour appointed,
that a few soldiers needed medical
attention and that a few others for
minor offenses were put in the guard
house. That is all, but it means that
the day was one of real work we'll
done.
The camp avenue and streets were
named today. and in doing this many
citizens of the State were hOnored.
among whom are Governor AycocR,
Govern or to be Glenn, General Roys-
ter, General Armfield. General Carr,
and others While the Goldsboro COM
