ton Heights, Pa, entailing a loss of
$4,000. For time the flames threaten

Fire companies from Collingdale,

Myer. were made public at Camp Ord

in section of West Virvinia they
have not yet seen, under conditions as
similar to those of real war as the
armv instructors can make them. Two
thirds of a ration will be issued each
man, the orders stipulate. This means
that but two meals will be served in
the field.
Skirmish Over Hills.
The guardsmen will be divided into
two opposing forces, one to constitute
the Red army; the other the Blue, or
defending body. The regulars will be
equally divided between the two.
After the noon meal next Monday the
snen will be sent away from Camp Ord

OF this part Of West Virginia. In their
baVersacks they will carry the two

OF ammunition as his belt will carry
while ammunition wagons. under fSs
direction of the Ordnance DeDartment
Will follow the troops wherever they go

years maneuvers will result While
there will be skirmishes and much firing
before that time, these will be confined
to the woods and fields immediately adj

Lecture to Officers.
Yesterday afternoon Capt. James B.
Allison, inspector-instructor of the
guard, gave a lecture to the officers
commissioned and no2commissioned-on
map reading. He had before him a
mammoth map of Gettysburg, Pa, and
another of Leavenworth, Kans., which
he used as illustrations. He showed the
men exactly what each little crook and
curve on the maps indicated.
When the map sections of the West
Virginia maneuvering ground are
placed in their hands, with the country
designated before their eyes, their
knowledge of this important art will be
greatly increased.
Major F. B. Wheaton announced to-
day that so far as the engineed CORPS
is concerned, the war can be started
at any moment. But the regular army
men who will act as umpires, under the
direction of Col Joseph Garrard, are
still making military problems for the
men to solve. Major Wheaton's maps
are In their hands. They have these
maps stuck full Of tiny blue, red, and
whit headed pins, each to represent a
company or battalion in the little mimic
war game. 1t is much like a game OF
checkers, the army having divided
themselves into conflicting forces.
AS soon as the problems are compile
ted. then the guardsmen will be taken
out on the field, and the same pro-
cedure practically will be continued, ex-
cept, Of course, on a much more eIab-
crate end extensive scale.
The men were able to get in a good
day. work yesterday. For the first
time this year, an armed body was
taken from the confines OF the camp,
and stationed on the high hill overlook
Ing the entire reservation. The battery
