Cal, to which It IL understood North
Dakota troops have been definitely as
signed as part OF the Goth division.
The Second is practically a green
regiment. Many Of its officers have
been rejected: It will be necessary to
transfer 3 from one company to
another, and a generally confused
condition exists in the unit. All of
these adjustments could be accomp-
hshedF more satisfactorily with the
regiment modified than with the vart-

Settle Promoted.
Major Douglas w. Settle, who has.
had charge Of the mastering OF North
Dakota's state troops, was advised to-
day OF his promotion to be lieutenant
colonel of the 41st infantry, his rank
to date from May 10, 1917. Major
Settle anne to Bismarck several weeks

upon the Second regiment before the

FOR CAMP AND
ANXIOUS TO GO

Modified.
Second Regiment Expected
to Camp at Fl. Lincoln
Soon.

Bismarck. N. D., Aug. 10.-North
Dakota guard regiments are anxiously
awaiting marching orders and their
commanders are as anxious as they to
see the regiments modified some

Word from the war depart
ment to the effect that the camp at
Palo Alto. Cal, to which the North
Dakota regiments are assigned, will be
ready for occupancy August IL, as
originally scheduled. If this proves
true, the troops may receive orders
to move at a very early date. Neither
regiment is completely equipped. The
First is fairly we'll supplied with both
equipment and ordnance. The Second
has just begun to receive its uniforms
and clothing, and mas nothing as yet
in the way Of blankets, cots, arms, am
munition and mess kits. Officers are
averse to moving the troops until fully
equipped and ACQUIRED, but this
course may be found necessary.
At Palo Alto spur trackage has been
completed for SO cars: work is in pro-
gress on s~torehouses, 1,26O,000 feet Of
lumber has been delivered and the
balance has begun to arrive. Deliv-
cry of piping Is being made at the
rate of $4,000 feet per day. About
100000 feet of lumber and 10 miles
of piping will be required for each
camp.
