SOLDIERS Hello HERE
MAY RETURN SHORTLY

Although no official reports, have
been received at Camp Henry Carter
Stuart, 1t is the concensus of opinion
that the militiamen who are now
quartered in Sherwood Park will be
permitted to return to their homes in
the next few days. 1t is thought that
the breaking up Of camp here will
follow the rehabilitation of the troops
on the Texas border.
1t is a known fact that large num-
Der OF cars which have been held for
the past few weeks in the Chesapeake
and Ohio yards for the movement of
the troops are now being used for
other purposes. They are no longer
being held especially for the troops.
and for this reason II is believed that
camp will be broken shortly.
