1ssth warrant, and later amplfed by

ascker in the police protection traffic

easily. They will not have TO do any
fighting before s a. m. until Tuesday, but
by Friday one body of troops may rout
another out Of bed at : o'clock as IL is
supposed that by then they will have be-
come hardened veterans. The days up
to August Is will constitute the instruc-
tional period then will come the final
period. During the Institutional period
the first march OF foot troops will not
exceed five miles, but later marches may
be increased to seven miles, and the first
march OF mounted militia will not exceed
ten miles later being increased TO seven
teen. 4 foot soldier also may be relieved
of his pack, excepting his poncho and his
shelter tent half.
For the comfort OF the militia field
trains will be permitted 20 follow troops
at distances less than the tactical situa-
ton might justify in real war, but the
enemy will not be permitted TO capture
field trains.
When the happy days OF the instruc-
tlonal period have passed the guardsmen
will have a little more TO do. IL VIII be
customary for officers TO order march
OF as much as eight miles in day. but
not until August II will the men be re-
quired to carry their full pack.
In the published instructions there is
one paragraph which will be OF interest
TO farmers in the vicinity of the war

tables. green corn, etc, which may have
been secured from the barns, orchards or

caught foraglng will be punished and
reparation made 10 the farmer.
