At brigade headquarters the esca-
pade is not treated in any joking man
ner. No officer will commit himself
concerning what will be done. 1t is
announced, however, that the offense
is against the United States army,
under the Dick law, and will be set
tied by the war department, not by
the state of North Dakota. The af-
fair will be thoroughly sifted and ev-
cry offender will be taught lesson.
No announcement is made as to when
a court martial will be called, but it
will probably be the latter part of
this week.
In addition to establishing novel
transportation record, the North Da-
kota national guard has been making
all kinds of camp records during it's
twelve hours here. The regiment de-
trained, unloaded it's equipment and
made camp the most rapidly of any
state organization in these maneuv-
ers. Captain James w. McAndrew,
camp quartermaster, is cordial in his
praise of the North Dakotans, who
have demeaned themselves as. true
soldiers from the moment they en-
tered camp. Notwithstanding the
1,500-mile ride from North Dakota to
American lake, the twelve companies
| went into the field at 2 o'clock and
drilled in the hot, sweltering sun all
the afternoon. Officers OF the regu-
lar army attached to the guard stated
tonight that the wheat growers made
the best initial appearance on the
| drill ground of any national reserve
participating in the maneuvers.
The North Dakota camp is a strik-
ing contrast to the other camps here.
The tentage is white instead of
brown and looks somewhat the worse
/ for wear and tear. The tents are
all or the SlDley pattern.

| Within a day or, two the guard will
give this camp something more to talk
about. 1t came west in it's khaki and
the long, hard trip sadly soiled the
crisp brown uniforms. By careful fl.
| nancing, the new olive drab uniform
d has been purchased for the entire
4 regiment and is to be issued here by
the regimental quartermaster. The
olive drabs were brought to camp un
packed. After drill this afternoon
most of the militiamen made fol
American lake, where they gave theil
clothes and bodies a thorough and
much-needed scrubbing. ]. Contrary tt
what would be expected, the men are
fresh and vigorous and ready to play
the war game as strenuously and ef
| ficiently. as guardsmen from nearby
states. i, 1. u. s fsS
