mander-in-chief. He spoke highly
of their military bearing, efficien-
cy,-the degree with which they
cooperate with one another in
making the camp a success and in
their behavior in the routine mat

grounds, which is a marked i'm
provement over former years.
Each day a special list of man
oeuvers is taken up by the men. II

rifle practice in the program, since
each company will go to the range
for three days practice later in the
