NO ORDERS AS TO MOVING.
1t Is Thought Troops May Leave Next
Month

Lyuchhurg. Va. Aug fa-While
the impression prevails among local
military officers that Companies E
and l. Will leave here for camp be-
tween September and September l 8,
this belief may be shaken by the
fact that a Roanoke company left the
Magic City Friday for the Admission
camp.
An officer OF the First regiment who
has been in Richmond lately gained
the impression while there that the
movement would not commence be-
fore September 8. Whether the vir-
ginia troops would get away during
the first half of September. and this
officer has information in addition to
what he has stated is not known, but
IT Is certain that the officers of the
two companies have no orders relative
to moving.
The fact that Major Stanley w
Martin has been ordered to Admission
TO prepare a rife range on which the
infantrymen may be schooled in the
use OF the rife. also gives rise to the
belief that the departure of the local
companies is not far distant.
