Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-03-12


Guard officer will be routed from
his bed in the middle of the night
and told to board the very next
train for San Antonio, Tex. The wisest
heads in the guard seem to think that
it will be several months. perhaps. be-
fore the troops along the Rio Grande
engage in what the Mexicans call
alias maneuvers" Of sufficient caliber
to warrant the sending of District
National Guard officer to observe and
to make a report thereon. For that
reason 1t is safe to say that no one
in the brigade will be hustled to the
front-there is plenty of time.

Not that it wouldn't be a splendid
opportunity from a military stand
point-and other standpoints. white
duck weather is now prevailing along
the. Rio Grande.
From the crowd of National Guard
officers who f1ocked into Headquarters
last week. all saying a good word for
themselves in this Rio Grande obserya-
ton business. it is very evident that
the officer who is eventually picked to
represent the District at the "alias
maneuvers' will be heartily envied.
