Military at st. Louis.
Capt. George E. Tralles, formerly of the
District National Guard, who was promf-
nently connected with the Morton Cadets
and National Rifles drill teams, has been
notified by the secretary of the committee
on ceremonies Of the st. Louis exposition
that no provision has yet been made for
competitive drills of a distinctively military
character during the exposition. 1t is eek
planned, however, that fifty-one military or
ganiZatiOnS, in addition to two full brtgadeS,
will visit the fair. Under the circumstances
the committee on ceremonies is of the opin-
ion that it will be impossible to hold a
competitive drill and have continuous
committee on awards.
Barracks have been erected for the accom-
mediation at one time of about 1000 visiting
troops, and assignments thereto have been
made for all of May, June, July and August,
and for portions of September and OCTOBER.
