Iowa City.-Plans for the maneuver
camp to be held in Iowa in August
this year were made at a meeting Of
the advisory board of the Iowa Ma
tional Guard here Although the war
department suggested that the man
euvers be held at Camp Dodge, near
Des Moines, three other cities of the
state will try to get the camp.
Col r. p Howell wants the camp
to be held near Iowa City. He pledg-
ed himself to get the land and other
things needed. Gen. H. A. Allen put
in an invitation on behalf OF Cedar
Rapids, and Col. N. t. Hyatt sug-
gested Marshalltown as more nearly
the center of the Iowa guard territory.
The selection of the camp ground was
left open.
The six regiments will form two bril-
gades, which can be used advantage
ously, the officers assert. The mem
bers of the Fifty-sixth Iowa regiment.
who had planned upon having an in
dependent camp. being outside Of the
Iowa brigade, will have to abandon
their arrangements. The plans made
here are subject to the approval Of
the adjutant general of Nebraska. He
may suggest changes and he has II
within his power to block the entire
scheme by refusing to bring his regi-
ment to Iowa.
The suggestion Of the government
that Camp Dodge be used is due to
the fact that the state and the ma
tional government own the land. II
will be necessary to install a water
system II this ground is to be used.
The other cities which are competing
for the camp ground must offer the
state the ground free, good water
service and good sanitary conditions.
The board also made arrangements
for the schools Of instruction to be
held this year. The medical and
surgical staff will go to Fort Leaven-
worth, the artillery officers will go
to Fort Riley, the infantry officers
will go to Camp Dodge.
The maneuver camp will cover a
period OF ten days.
