Will include sham battle, is being pre-
pared by Major l. c. jerks and will be
announced within few days. 1t is de-
clared by Adjutant General Elliott that
this will he the greatest camp in West
Virginia since the war times of 1861 10
1865.
In choosing the Preston county location
Tor the joint camp, Adjutant General
Elliott had in mind recognition of the fact
that during the Civil war that county
furnished more men for the ranks than
any other county in the state and more
in proportion to its population than any
other county in the United States.
The equipment on the rifle range has
been improved and enlarged so that a
whole regiment may shoot over it in three
days. This range, it is declared. ranks
at least third in the United States.
BY holding the maneuvers Jointly a
part OF the expense will be paid by the
federal department, saving the state
