Custer Holds First Review.

In the presence OF an immense gal

fifth division of the new National
army marched in its first review at
Camp Custer last week.
1t was the largest military dem

The review itself was a splendid
spectacle. In the dignified pres

his distinguished guests from the
British aud French armies, 1900
men wheeled across the parade
ground In platoon formation. No
fancy evolutions were attempted.
but the division had the appear
ance Of Il military machine.
AS inspiring as was the review
itself. a massing OF 1900 men In
uniform under the observing eyes
OF official representatives OF three
allied nations. the real thrill came
to those who, two or three months
ago, saw these men straggle into
camp. in civihan clothing. uu

Major General Dickman was obvi

Although the largest military spec
tacle ever held in Michigan, this rec
