Ever since the war began we have been
patrolling the Atlantic coast at all ports,

JERSEY GUARD IS DRY
ONCE MORE; RAINY WEEK
FLOODS CAMP WITH MUD
Troops at Douglas Smile Again
as Streets Emerge From Wa
ter Observation-Disclosures
Wrecked Camp
SUN RESTORES PEACE
speetnl corresponaenee Eyentno Ledoer

DOUGLAS, Arlz, July 12.-Now that the
rainy season seems to have satisfied itself
with the fury Of its Introduction, and the
encampment is drying out after the three.
day downpour Of rain. the New Jersey
guardsmen concentrated here are getting
down to the hard grind of camp life again.
For almost three days there was a steady
torrent Of rain and the encampment was
a times completely covered with water to
depth of several inches.
AS rapidly as 1t came, the water disap-
peared, and tonight, after only few hours
of sunshine, the camp is pretty we'll dried
out, and instead of stopping through several
inches of surface water and thick red,
oo2v mud, the men are able to walk on
fairly dry ground bitches which had been
dug during the short intervals between the
most terrific of the storms aided much
during the last day in carrying Off the
excess rainfall.
The Jersey troops worked like good fel.
lows in the rainfall trying to perfect the
rainage and save the encampment from so
serious a flood as that which completely
inundated the 5th Regiment and other or.
ganizatons during the first night of the
storm
one Of the greatest surprises that the
regular army officers here have received
was the rapidity with which the New Jer-
seynen emerged from the storm and set
their camps to rights Within few hours
after the rain had stopped the men had
every little puddle drained dry and the
company streets and the main camp drives
In prcsentable order.
The announcement of the contemplated
visit to the militia camps of General Bliss,
assistant chief Of staff who has left WASH
inEton for tour of inspection of the Ma
tional Guard outfits along the border, has
created no little interest in the ranks of the
New Jersey organizations. General Bliss
Is known to the Jerscymen through his
participation in the Connecticut maneuvers,
In which the officers and men from New
Jersey took n prominent part.
Numerous movements among the Ma
tional Guard organizations in the minds of
some forecast an early ordering out of some
units in the New Jersey camp. The Ari-
zona infantry, consisting of one regiment,
is leaving Douglas for points on the border.
one battalion goes out under command of
Major Coykendall. Colonel A. NJ Tuthll,
commanding the regiment, will take another
battalion to another point and the third
battalion has already been out of here for
several days.
With the moving out of the organizations
that have been camped here for some time
il Is hardly likely that the New Jersey
tilites demand their presence at other
points. II is believed that the purpose of
the commanding officers is to keep the State
organization together and prepare il
probably for taking over eventually the
entire responsibility for the protection of
Douglas and vicinity,
