Test for Advance Guard.

Advance guards are being sent out, to
march ahead of the main body of troops,
and, just to keep them alert, a company
or so is sent on a flank movement to
get ahead of the patrol to see if it finds
them and reports back to the main body.
The drill schedule was changed today.
Heretofore the troops have had two long
drill periods, one in the morning and one
in the afternoon. Three-quarterS of an
hour has been added to the drill period
in the morning to permit the troops to
march and maneuver, and the afternoon
period is given over to schools, where
the men may sit about under shady trees
and receive their instruction.
There is discussion about the camp of
having q big parade and review soon
on the White House Ellipse Col.
Young. commanding the Sd infantry
said that while he does not favor
paradeS and reviews. if the Washington
public demanded such parade he
would hold it. However, he does not
believe there is much interest. The
guard held one brigade parade and one
battalion parade on the parade ground
at Fort Myer, and there was a bare
handful of people there to see it, he
said.

by Troop A, cavalry, at the camp to-
morrow night. The men have been
working hard in obtaining quartets
