The adjutant generals Office is be-

that it is possible. with the work 60
ing along as smoothly as it has and is
going. to send the boys home on Mon
day, but that man mean Tuesday or
even Wednesday Of next week. owing
to unexpected delay.
cit was at first thought of sending
the men home by companies, as soon as
a company's papers is completed that
company to say goodbye to Camp
keyes, but that has been changed and
all will remain here until the paper
work has been completed and the reg
iment will leave as a unit, just as Is
the custom on the closing day of a
State encampment. This method is
thought to be better for all hands for
various reasons.
I'VE understand that arrangements
are being made at the home stations of
each company for a reception and cele"
bration in due keeping with the
promptness and celebrity with which the
Maine boys volunteered when called
upon for duty on the Mexican border
