Men who left Richmond and other Nir-

Major E. w. Bowles, of the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues, off1ciated as ser
geant on Saturday. while Major Law
renee T. Price, of the First Regiment,
was thus honored to-day.
The results are two-fold First, the
officers are given an exceedingly prac-
tical demonstration of the way In
which troops of the regular army are
Inspected, while they can appreciate
something of the prlvate's viewpoint
Camp Is New idea.
This is the first camp of2its kind In
the history of Virginia. In fact the
practice of gathering commissioned
officers of the organized militia into
camps was only begun last year by the
War Department.. So far tae results
have been highly satisfactory accord
ing to Captain Joseph X. Partello, OF
the Fifth United States Infantry.
''Why, one can see the Improvement
already" said Captain Particle this af-
ternoon, enthusiastically. The Vir-
ginia officers carry themselves better,
handle their arms better, know more
about field work and about inspection
than they did last Friday They are
superior body Of men, learn rapidly,
comport themselves In thoroughly
soldierly manner. and will begin at
once to demonstrate the fact that they
have thoroughly assin1ilated modern
knowledge In the science of war
"The good effect of this camp upon
the Virginia militia will. 1t is my con-
vlction, be ncalculahle," was the COM
ment OF Captain Thomas 3, MCDOWELL,
OF Company A. Richmond Blues. we
are working like mules, but don't
believe there is an officer IN camp who
regrets the experience. We are being
taught by the flower of the regular
arlny--men who show that they know
tn eir business. When we get to Get
tysburg every officer will know how to
execute every order how to handle his
mon and how to get for the troops the
hest results of the camp manoenvres.
All officers Pleased.
There was no dissent from this view,
Every man is willing to indorse the
declaration that he probably never
worked harder In his life, and he I'M
medlateIy follows this up with the as
sertion that he is eating Invaluable
knowledge.
Captain Particle Is not alone In his
approbation OF the successful work be-
ing done by5the officers. At the con-

at the manner in which the men had
