IN spite of the temporary hold.un.
the authorities here believe the North
Carolina troops will vet see. servica
on the border, Gen. Laurence Young
r. not discouraged at the prospect and
Major Henry J. Hunt, ranking army
OFFICER. believes that with the settle
ment Of the labor difficulties troops
will move southwark as before con-
tempiated when completely equipped.
| While the men In camp now are fairly
well equipped. according to Maj. Hunt,
at least two weeks will be required to
bring the equipment up to the stand
ard. Then win come moving orders,
provided the situation at home is sat
isfactory and the Mexican problem has
not been settled in way entirely
agreeable to the United States.
Captain w. @. Horton, medical adj
ministrative staff, left for Raleigh on
a leave Of absence pending an ap-
pointment. Sergeant A. b. Breeze,
Fayetteville, who has been home on
furlough for some time on account OF
the Illness of his wife, has returned
to camp. While at home Sergeant
Breeze entered his APPLICATION for dis
charge, but upon his arrival here, he
withdrew It, taking up his duties at.
brigade headquarters #
+ Two NOR his after President Wilson
called out the National Guard, North
Carolina troops are still in camp. Now,
it's matter ST patient waiting. and
working in the meantime. Again and
again speculation has been followed
by periods OF eager anticipation OF
early departure under orders for the
border, only to have the DEAN smashed
by more uncertainty and more specula-
tfons, with new crop of rumors every.
day. And finally when the move south
ward seemed not only certain but fmmi-
nent came the threatened strike of
railroad men
Thus far there has been no dissati-
faction with Camp Glenn The men
realize that border conditions cannot
come UP to present surroundings for.
camp conveniences. Yet they are anx-
ious to get away, not to go home, but
South, to see such service as there
may be with the other state troops now
on Texas soil.
Major Henry =. Hunt has gone to
Charlotte for an inspection OF the Com
pany of Engineers organized there.
The. Wilmington company has been
ordered TO report at Camp Glenn for
physical examination and muster.
Mrs. J. A. Turner. wife OF Major
Turner, Miss Beatrice and Miss May
Turner, daughters. and Miss Barrow
are visiting at Camp Glenn.
The eastern department ordered the
discharge Of twenty-one additional
enlisted men with dependent families,
thus running the total up to 2s6.
Colonel Bessent, formerly lieutenant
colonel Of the First Infantry. Is Wis
itor at Camp Glenn.
While recruiting has been going on
slowly during the entire two months,
the brigade lacks much OF being up to
its complete war strength. The re-
lease OF men with dependent families.
numbering 275 to date, has squared
with the increase, consequently the
brigade stands much as it did directly
after the muster, so far as strength
is concerned. Now there are just a
few over three thousand men regu-
larly enlisted. the detailed strength OF
the staff and organizations Is about as
follows: General staff, A.: admins
tration staff. @. M. c., 4; First infantry,
9S9; Second infantry, 773; Third in
fantry, 1893; Cavalry, Troop A, 10. and
Troop b, 70; Field Hospital, 65; Am
bulance Company, No. l, %.
