San Antonio, Tex, Sept. lG-Camp
Wilson, which shelters thousands of
National Guardsmen stationed Here,
will remain Camp Wilson, General
Funston said today. The War de-
partment has ruled to that effect.
General Funston and Postmaster
George Armistead- of San Antonio
have differed as to the name of the
camp. When the Texas guardsmen
gathered here last May, the post
master named the mobilization Site
Camp Wilson" after the president.
A week ago, however,\ General Fun
ston announced that military camps
could be named only after dead per-
sons and that consequently the Of
ficial designation of the local site
would be Camp Cecil A. Lyon" after
formef Brigadier General Cecil A.
Lyon Of the Texas National Guard.
n Mr.. Armistead protested to the
Postoffice department at Washington
against the change. The protest was
