Nashville was brought around from
the coast where it was fitted UP for
the work on the lakes and the fact
that the crew which made the long
cruise was made M of men from the
different divisions throughout the

one day will be spent on the rifle
!. range at Camp Logan where the
Z jackies will be given chance to test
their Workmanship.
Before leaving for Chicago Satur-
day evening the local reserves will
