MILITIA TO ENACT
BAT TIE OF NATIONS
District Guardsmen Preparing
for Mimic. Conflicts at Wr-

DISTRICT NATIONAL Quart
HEADQUARTERS, VIRGINIA BEACH
Va. Aug. 4-Sunbronzed and hardened
~ their work in the field. the oistrfc
militiamen this morning were pro
nounced physically fit for the exactinE
military duties which corps of in
structing officers has mapped out fol-
hem. and the preliminary work Of pre-
pairing for the series of mimic battles
which open on Thursday, was taken VI
today
There is going to be a miniature Eu'
ropean war fought on the Virginia rife
range. where the Washington militia
men are in camp, beginning Thursday,
and all the work Of today and tomorrow
consists of preparations for that eXcit-
ing affair. The brigade viii be divided
into as many as four sections. each to
represent one of the hig European
powers, and thousands Of rounds of am
munition are to be issued TO the men
before they retire tomorrow night.
Ammunition Has Arrived.
This was the main drawing card that
brought many of the militiamen to camp
this year, which resulted in the biggest
Of the guard. The blank ammunition
already has reached camp. and is being
0arefully guarded by a detail of men
Of the ordnance department. Early
Thursday morning the men will be
called out of their conical tents and
rushed into the field to take part in
,uaneuvers as realistic as is possible
0uIing times of peace.
The militiamen are enjoying the best
~ health. The hospital reports show
hat there are fewer men on the sick
st this year than ever before. or

l.rist. or a sunburned back and neck
institute the most serious of the in
uries which the hospital corps has been
allied on to treat.
Camp Site Is Ideal
The camping site is an ideal one, and
ne of the mos thealthy the guard ever
las visited. The water is pure and is
but d few degrees warmer than ice
water. It is conveyed 10 the camp in
large pipes covered by many feet OF
earth. thus insuring both purity and
roldness.
The only complaint to be registered
against the site is its location relative
10 railway connections. There is a
snort line connecting Virginia Beach
roper with the rifle range, but for
some reason the railway company never
as been able. to put into effect the
schedule which had been agreed upon
before the militiamcn came here. It
often is necessary for the guardsmen
to walk to and from Virginia Beach,
A distance of two o. three miles,
through sand and gravel, when duty
requires it, which is often. The best
schedule the railroad company has put
INTO effect is half-hour one. which.

South Ninth street. is attending to

lions and is seeking additional accom-
private homes and boarding houses.
Persons being able to supply room
or rooms may notify Mr.. Thatcher at
his home either by mail or telephone.
Perry j. Freeman, chairman OF the
decorating committee, has arranged
that Richmond shall be in gala attire
during the two convention days. Al
most all Main street merchants have
been asked to decorate for the occa-
sion. especially those along the line
of march of the parade.
In his letter Mr.. Freeman called at
tention to the fact that fund of
$4,000 has been raised among the
members without calling for financial
assistance from the merchants and
business houses of the city.
On the second day of the conven-
ton, Saturday, May 9, parade will
form at )Tenth and Main streets,
marching east to Thirteenth street;
north to e street, west to Fort Wayne

march to Eighth and E streets; south

SET TH|RTY-FOOT
FLAG POLE At P O.
Contractors Erect New Staff
Surmounted by Gold Leaf
Ball.

1t was no small job to put the 1900
pound thirty foot flag pole into its
socket in the roof of the post office
building today. With house moving
derricks and supports the move was
successfully negotiated and the new
pole with its new coat Of paint and the
big gold ball surrounding it with Its
IS coat of gold leaf are now in place.
Because of it's massive style Of ar
chitecture, the post office has the ap-
pearance of being low building. In
reality it is higher than three story
houses and as high as the top of three
story office buildings, although it has
only one story.
To those who have access in all
parts of it, the building has an unus-
ual interest as do all modern federal
buildings. Postmaster Haas and fed
eral inspectors, who are able to pene-
trate beyond the walls, the building
resembles castles at the time of the
inquisition as viewed with interest by
person today but to a dishonesty in
clined government employee the inter-
ior would be chiefly to be feared.
Walls are honeycombed with secret
passages and gratings to permit in
SpectOrS to watch EMPLOYEES.
