Indians May Go to Camp Meade.

It is probable that the new Indian
regiment, now being organized, will be
ordered to make its training station
at this cantonment 1t is reported here
that this is the plan of the War De-
partment.
This unique fighting unit. which was
recruited at the suggestion of Gen
Bliss, the present chief Of staff of the
Army, will bring some Of the best
rifle shots and expert horsemen in the
land to the big reservation here. In
many other respects the Indian regi-
ment will be one Of the most pictur-
esque bodies in the service. 1t will be
composed of red brothers" from
practically every Indian reservation in
the United States.
According to the information re-
ceived here, the Indian warriors are
very willing to do their bit" for the
sake Of democracy, but insist that they
be kept in separate units. This wish
has been granted.
Although the Indian regiment will
be mustered into the cavalry service
this will not mean that it will be any
the less shy on the tricks Of modern
warfare. Like their white and black
comrades the red men will be taught
to hurl bombs, manipulate machine
guns, automatic rifles, rifle grenades
and other deadly weapons that have
been so effectively used in the world
war.
