airy. and the Sd Battery, Field Artillery, u
s. army, In camp here. Rain was falling
at reveille today, and 1t continued at inter-
walls, so that when drill call was sounded
at T:45 o'clock It was necessary to follow
1t Immediately with recall. The direction
was given, however, that officers and men
should be held in their camps, as drill call
would be sounded as soon as the weather
cleared sufficiently for the command to take
the field. An order was issued last even
ing announcing that the exercises today
would occur beyond the limits of camp. The
chief of ordnance issued blank ammunition
fifty rounds for each man. to the command
to be used in the exercises today which
as previously arranged, included the COM
pany acting alone. at war strength, demon
strating the normal attack against a force
of equal strength, over varied ground and

thing. The territory for this maneuver and

Commissioner Macfarland Returns
From Camp.

IIOll SoluP.
Commissioner Mcfarland returned to his
office today after spending yesterday at
Camp Ordway as the guest of General Geo.
H. Harries and the District National Guard.
In expressing the pleasure he experienced
on the days outing the Commissioner said:
II am always proud of our National
Guard, but was prouder than ever yester-
day; not only because of the fine sodierly
appearance review, but because of the
admirable condition of the camp. All the
regular army officers commented upon its
unusual cleanliness and good order and
upon the excellent work done at drills and
In the regular routine of the soldiers day.
No better National Guard camp am told
could be found in the United States. More
bers of the guard in and out of the camp
has been remarkably good. 1t is no picnic
but hard intelligent and valuable work
which tells throughout the year. OF course,
the men get pleasure In doing IT, and the
benefit Of the outdoor life under military
conditions, but it's chief value is to the
guard as an organization and, therefore,
to the community. I wish every District
taxpayer could visit the camp and see how
themselves for future efficiency. Employ
ers who have allowed their members of the
guard to go have done themselves a serv-
ice. We hope that the District National
Guard will never be needed again for actual
military duty, but when it is needed 1t will
be needed badly, and we want 1T to be
ready. General Harries and his officers are
ministration of the camp, which Is thor
oughly up to date and effective, and upon
the improvements in the guard eince camp
