| President Wilson's order to recruit
Alfred Davis Of Rolette, N. D., came
too late to reach Davis in Camp
Greene.
Companies A, B, c, and D, Bis

GERS Of the First Battalion Of the
164th Infantry feel signally honored
to think that they were the particu-
lar army organization selected by
Brigadier General Wedgewood to take
part in the opening program Of the
annual Mecklenberg Co. fair which
opened here today q short distance
from the camp. The four companies
with the First North Dakota band
and the corps OF buglers Of the regi-
ment marched to the fair grounds
and there gave a splendid exhibition.
The program included close order
drill by the companies; skirmish and
other extended order evolutions by
Company B, and then a great
battalion parade.
Maj. Frank Henry put the
battalion through the manual of
arms and 1t was indeed inspiring to
see the perfect unison in which guns
were moved from position to posi-
| ton, as though actuated by one lever
which at one pull caused each unit
to act. .. .. ....... -. 49,
The boys and the band were given
an ovation. The band played a.
splendid program, following the
maneuvers. These generals don't say
much, never give any spoken word
of commentator but it was noticed
that, General Wedgewood appeared
pleased and applauded vigorously
of the men. The lrst battalion has
been developed into a magnificent
fighting machine as a result of the
months hard work Of men and OFF,
GERS alike since coming to Camp
Greene.
This morning a recruiting officer
from the station, in the city Of Char
Iotte. came to Camp Greene looking
for Davis. He bore an order from
the White House, the Presidents
initials penned on the telegram sent
by Davis to him. and an 20. K" to
the enlistment of the North Dakota.

and a man so years Of age with but
four teeth in his upper jaw passed
by the examining board because OF
patriotic reasons. g..

however, having left for Camp Mills,

duties and Private William j. A.

The old, old sore between the ma
tional guard and the regulars has
again broken out. An article in To-
cal newspaper written by a. "regu-
lar" started 1t. Despite efforts OF all
officers, both regular and guardsmen,
to check the fuss, the antipathy has
grown. Now an army mule has got
ten into it. and had won an iron
cross. A bunch Of regulars were
marching by the North Dakota regi-
mental block and one of the North
Dakota army mules SHE'D. "Ah! Even
the guard mules are afraid of the ma
tional guard" said sergeant of the
regulars and at the same time deliv-
ering q blow with his FIST at the
mules side. The mule retaliated with
both feet and the regular" sergeant
is now in the base hospital with three
broken ribs.
