Shipment Of thirty five escort wa
CONS to the Iowa military department.;
by the government leads Sioux City
guardsmen TO believe the government
will in short time call on the Iowa
troops for duty in Mexico, or on the
border. The wagons will be brought

Iowa guard has four ambulances. so

entire outfit. Five hundred thousand
rounds Of ammunition are on hand. the

government. according to information
received here from Des Moines. The
guard has an ample outfit of uniforms.

department report says. Inquiry re-
sarding the equipment OF Camp Dodge
for maneuver camp this year has not
been answered by the war department.
This Is taken as an indication by the
local guardsmen that military officials
do not believe there will be camp.
but the soldiers will see active service
In Mexico.
