trsvel-weary members Of the 22d New

Camp Wadsworth to-day, more than
fifty hours after their departure from
New York. Bivouacked in the ooze
near by are III officers and men Of the
headquarters troop. who arrived here
just before the engineers.
Their routing had been more fortu-
nate and their speed less exasperating,
but they also were tired-too tired to
give more than brief account of the
manner in which they had led the
march down Fifth Avenue last Thurs
day.
Dawn broke here to-day to find half
the city and most of the countryside
gathered at the railroad station and
along the tracks to welcome New York's
federalized Guardsmen. At 7 o'clock
breeze bore into town the faint sig
nal of a locomotive, which soon after

the headquarters troop and equipment,
commanded by Captain Davis Dunbar
and Lieutenant Douglas Cameron.
Morale Surprises Residents.
Over the hot coffee provided by the
local committees the soldiers related the
experiences of their journey and
eagerly inquired about the camp.

brisk, leg-stretching hikes through the
main streets of the towns. The recep-

but men of affairs in the country's me-
tropolis. A local banker almost gasped
for breath when one dust-co~ered,

ceiving the information, went uptown
and opened a most acceptable account.
1t had been planned to march all the
arriving soldiers from Spartanburg to

rain has turned the country hereabouts
into fair sembance of Flanders in
Sprngtime. The road 70 camp was
covered this morning with a foot Of
the softest, slimiest mud. army men
said, that ever graced the scenery along
the Somme. The weary soldiers were

The impossible state of the camp

establish themselves in an orderly and

of Minneapolis, for King Wheat is re
treating rapidly TO his last kingdom in
the United States. Approaches rapidly
the time when Montana will be the
banner wheat state. To her must yield
Kansas, Minnesota and North Dakota,
even as in the earlier decades New
York. Ohio and Wisconsin yielded 10
the westward course of wheat empire.
The king will have a greater dominion
in Alberta and Saskatchewan, 10 the
north, bTt Montana will be his chief
satrapy within the United States.
But this year the Montana wheat
realm has suffered defeat. For sixty
five davs there has been no rain. The
fields have shrivelled in the heat, and
in many places the cattle are harvest
ing for immediate consumption what
grain there is II is a time OF drouth
and fire. From evory mountain range
rise vast columns of smoke that are
the fecting funeral monuments OF dy-
ing forests. Thousands OF eager work
crs fight .hc famc5 on far-fung battle
lines across mountain slopes and crests,
and the prairles for two hundred miles
10 the east arc covered with smoke and
showercd with ashes. At least mill
ion people watch the bulletins from the
fre-battlc front more eagerly than
those from Flanders or Nerdun. All
the fighters hope 10 do is 10 hold or
battle the flames till the fall rains bring
M the reinforcements that will finally
beat the foe, who in the meantime de-
stroys millions Of dollars worth Of
timber daily.
