Camp Glenn. July 2.-The mex
encampment for the boys of the
first regiment will be Ell PaSo, Tex
as, it was given out here today, and
this definite Information put an enc
to numerous rumors and specula
tions around the camp. The route
to be taken by the troops on en-
training has not been definitely de
cided, or at at least it has not beer
given to reporters and the time fol
movement is not yet known here
no orders to that effect having been
received.
The third regiment now occupying
a prominent position of the camps
life, brought Sd officers and 1920
men, bringing the total number in
camp up to 3548. Peuple residing
in this section state that this is the
greatest assembly Of troops ever
seen here. @
Attorney General and Mrs. Bick-
ett are here and today dined with
General Young and uis staff. The
visitors were also guests ia an after
noon trip to the surf. Numerous
excursions today brought hundreds
of visitors and among the throng
were many relatives to see the boys
in khaki.
Earl Patterson of company M,
first infantry High Point, was carried
to the field hospital today with an
attack of the heart. His reco> cry
is expected.
Camp Glenn, July 3.-Four com.
panies of the first regiment of the
North Carolina national guard were
formerly mustered into the national
service here today. These were
company A, Hickory; B. Gastonia;
D. Charlotte, and M. High Point
The latter bears the distinction of
being the first infantry company of
the state to pass into federal control
during the present call
Field hospital corps No 1, Ashe-
vile, was mustered in yesterday.
The regimental einfirnary, Canton
and several infantry companies fol-.

GeHeraf Young Ueiivefed a short
talk to the mustering companies to-
day shortly before they took the
oath of allegiance and in every in
stance was heartily cheered by the
boys. ..
The ire of company E, second in
fantry, GoldsbOro. was aroused to-
day and poured fourth upon one of
its members who is alleged to have
attempted to be disqualified in the
physical test. The young soldier,
said to be II. feigned a stiff arm.
the boys claim, and after he was
apprehended he was decked in a
costume of yellow cheese cloth, the
color supposed to characterize the
streak, and forcib1y paraded through
the camp. Among the trying ordeals
he was forced to undergo was to
pose at the train while several
young women passengers made
snapshots.
Company F led the infantry score
with percentage of physically sound
men, the score being IS. lhe band
ands regimental infirmary made q
score of "a and 96, respectively; but
these may not with justice be rated
on the Same footing with the Ordi-
nary infantry recruit
Again it is only fair to add that a
number of men belonging to the
AshevilIe companies were examined
and rejected before they reached
Camp Glenn, and with High Point
running a close second with per
centage of 83. the result may have
been different.
Winston Salem lies at the bottom
of the percentage column, being
pushed over 56 per cent. of her total
roster. Mt. Airy is next to Winston.
Salem, separated by a margin o1
only two points.
