Wyeville, Wis, July 29.-Positively
branding the published reports con-
cerning improper and disorderly con-
duct of the Blue" army men at Camp
Douglas the night before the maneu-

in denying these reports.
Brigadier General Ralph W. Hoyt
who is chief of the Great Lake de-
partment of the central division of
the army and who is in command OF
the entire maneuvers campaign, said:
There is no truth at all in the state
ment that there was disorder. So far
as this campaign is concerned no Of
ficers have been relieved and no Off
Ger may leave without orders. 1t is
! Impossible for an officer ordered to a
camp to leave before ordered and
none has been so ordered After an

| There was remarkable order and quiet
in camp. ! asked the driver If there
was disorder in town and he said,
No"
Major Carl Reichman, chief of the
blue" umpires, one Of the ablest and
most prominent army officers in the
country, said: There has been moth
ing the matter with the conduct Of the
troops of the Blue column since
joined them at noon on the 23rd. Fol
the rest of the day, and ever since
they have been hard at work from
early in the morning TO late at night
and there is nothing the matter with
