ADJT.-GEN. SAYS IOWA TROOPS
ARE EQUAL TO ANY.
COMPLETES TWO DAYS HIKING
New Plan For the Mastering Out OF
the Iowa Troops When Returned
Home is Being Laid Out at
Fort Des Moines.

Brownsville, Tex, Nov. 2S.-"f the
people back in Iowa could see what
! have seen during the last two days
they would agree with me that on the
border today the rank of our state
troops in every line of military train,
ing cannot be surpassed by any other
national guard organization"
With this statement Adjt. Gen. Guy
+. Logan, newly arrived from Iowa,
visited Brownsville for the first time.
He had just completed two days of
hiking with the troops now engaged
in the monster lower Rio Grande field
maneuver. He wanted to see his
soldiers at first hand and general field
work He was satisfied.
! Wonderful" was the way in
when he put his impression of Gen
oral Aliens aSay and the brief bit
of it's perform ances which the two
days had shG n. 1T is truly won
derful how sEeh large body of men
many of whom had no military train,
ing before being ordered out, have
developed.
Their physical condition is of the
best and they are standing up splen,
didly under the hardships of the ma,
neuver. From reports that / have
received from regular army officers
and officers in other state troops, the
Iowa soldiers are held in the highest
esteem and the citizens of Browns
Vile are loud in their praise of the
morals of the Iowa men. =
Men Have Learned Much.
The advancement of the men in
tactical work is wonderful. During
the maneuver | watched the men go
into action and carry out the program
laid down to them, and they are act
service. The men also seem to en-
ter into the maneuver with the prop
er spirit as if they were in real
s.salGGaign and the enemy real one
instead of another organization o.
government troops,
Nothing seems to be too hard OF
too dangerous for the men to at
tempt 1t is surely wonderful how
they have advanced and | would say
that we have a remarkable military
organization from Iowa.

New Discharge Plan.
General Logan stated upon his ar
rival that a new plan for the speedy
mastering out of the Iowa troops
when they were returned home was
now being laid out at Fort Des
Moines The officials there, he
states, believe that it will be possible
to send unattached units direct to
their home stations without having
them brought to Des Moines. This
would send the three batteries to
Clinton, Davenport and Muscatine,
respectively, the engineers to Iowa
City. and the ambulance company to
Sioux City, direct from their stations
on the border. ...
The three regiments of Iowa in
fantry, which would thus be left,
could be mustered out within twenty
four days, Des Moines military Off
GERS state. This would be worked on
the plan of bringing one regiment at
Z. tine from the border, caring for
one of the units in little over a
week.

Novel Way Of Helping Poor.

A novel way of obtaining potatoes
for the poor of Cedar Rapids was
found. when last week. on Thursday
and Friday, one of the local moving
picture theatre managers conceived
the brilliant idea of admitting patrons
for two potatoes. The high price of tho
Irish spuds has made things hard for
the social workers. and they find that
potatoes are coming at almost a prem,
ium for the poor. The picture house
did a rush business, and gathered
several bushels of potatoes, These will
be stored for the present, and viii be
given out at Christmas time for the

badly hurt Both cars were damaged

The accident is the natural result

could easily have avoided the truck
if it had remained on the car track,
but failed to make proper allowance
