Ever since 1 was sixteen years of

Maneuvers to Be Held at Fort Riley.

Information has been received at
Fort Riley from the war department
that the sites for the maneuver camps
had already been selected for this
year. This list includes eight camps
of instruction and Fort Riley is among
the first selected for this purpose. 1t
is probable that the following states
will be chosen to send their quota of
state troops to Fort Riley for the four
weeks of instructions during the en-
campment: North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Ar
kansas. The time of holding the ma
neuvers is still in doubt but they will
probably be held in the fall later than
they were held at Fort Riley in 1906
