Without Leggings and Pro-

Look Too UnsoIdierly.

Fort Smelling, Mimi, May 26-
Especial Telegram )-Iowa students
were doing good deal of questioning
among themselves today as the result
of a camp story that a group of
Iowans were arrested in Minneapolis
one night recently by the provost
guard for unsoldierly appearance.
Of course, there is never any con-
hrmation to be mad to such report,
but here's the story as rumored
around camp:
Half dozen Iowans, still without
their regulation leggings, journeyed
to Minneapolis. Among the lot, it is
whispered, was a minister, too. Any
way the provost guard thought they
looked too "trampy" and pinched
them.
No Liquor at Bars.
The embryo officers had a snap to-
day. Swarms of Twin City boys and
scores from Minnesota and other
states as we'll, paraded Minneapolis
and St. Paul streets on leave of ab-
sence. They had to be orderly, too,
for any man in inform is being re-
fused liquor in accordance with the
recent war measure passed by con-
gress.
At E o'clock tonight the acceptance
OF northwest guardsmen for training
ceased. This was the decision set by
Washington on arrivals for the Off

Guardsmen Turned Back.
National Guard regiments of Ne
braska, Iowa, Minnesota and North
and South Dakota were instructed to
detail about twenty-five men each to
Fort Smelling camp. Two hundred
of the allotted 295 men are said to
have reported Late comers were
told to return to their respective
military organizations and await the
possible second officers training camp
