 The remaining members of the Home Guard will be expected to be in the parade and will also drill. All members will be present at the court house at 9:30 a. m. July 4th. They will be formed in platoons and those who have drilled in the marchings and facings will be in one platoon, those who have not will be placed in a sec ond platoon. These patoons will also give an exhibition on the grounds July 4th.
 Any member of the Home Guard coming to drill the three nights named will be placed in charge of an officer and instructed and a large number should be presenst.
 The officers all feel that those who have been drilling are showing real progress, and are of the opinion that more guns should be ordered if the attendance increases on drill nights to justify ordering additional guns.
 J. T. Burns was appointed bugler.

NO FIGHTING SOON
 FOR U. 5. SOLDIERS
Pershing's Men Must Be AccIi- mated Before Going to Tren- ches-When Others May Be Sent Not Announced.

Washington, June 28-Complete re- ports from Major General Pershing upon the landing of his first expedi- ton in France still are lacking to- night and the war department re- mained silent. The delay may be ac- counted for by the report that Ger eral Pershing did not visit the Ameri- can encampment until today.
 At the navy department, reports are awaited from the commander of the convoy that accomplished without a marring incident so far as known, one of the greatest tasks ever as- signed a naval force.
 It is not known when the American forces will take over a part of the great battle line in France. Whatever plans have been made in this regard are closely guarded. No official of any branch of the government would admit having any knowledge on the subject.
 It is known that 8 considerable period must elapse before they can be thrown forward into the trenches. The men fresh from the tropics or from the Mexican border must be carefully acclimated. The main pur- pose of sending the force in the brief period that was allowed to make ready and get them across was political. It was the sentiment rather than prac- tical arguments of members of the French and British commissions which influenced the United States in send ing General Pershing and his men.
 Marshal Joffre and his British as- sociates said that the great need was to send force with the flag at once 10 show the people of France, strain ing under the great burden of war, that a friend was at hand. There will be no let-up to the effort to keep the force in France fully supplied with everything an army needs. When other divisions may be sent has not been announced; but the work of mak- ing them ready is going on in every section of the country.
