Drop Many Fort Smelling
Students From the Rolls

Minneapolis, Mimi, June l9-(Spe-
cial Telegram. about $50 students
have been dismissed form the Fort
Smelling camp since the training per-
iod began, it was stated today by
camp officials. About ten of these had
good reason for discharge and the
remainder were discharged for physi-
cal disability and other reasons
which untitled them for commissions.
The efficiency board continues its
daily sessions, but it is understood
that most OF the undesirables have
been weeded out of camp.
Among those dismissed are several
National Guardsmen, some because
they have accepted commissions in
the Guard and others because they
preferred to remain with their Guard
regiments as privates or non-com-
nissioned officers.
The percentage Of Guardsr1en dis
charged for being inefficient is rela-
tlvely small. Each student who has
been discharged has been given a
hearing.
Encounter Poison Ivy.
A number OF students from COM
panies, three and four reported on
sick call as result of infection from
poison of oak and ivy, while acting
as patrols in the woods near the res
ervation. Botany lessons are being
given to enable the students to dis
tlnguish poisonous shrub.
The Seventh and Eighth companies
spent the day on the rife range.
Artillery students continued their
shoot of the battery dismounted and
they rapidly are learning the mechan-
ism and operation of the three-inch
field pieces. A dummy shell is used
to illustrate the method Of holding
the piece.
Six regular army sergeants, who
have been on duty at various univer-
sites as assistant military instructors,
will arrive soon for duty with the
students at Fort Smelling.

tinguishing features OF today's irregular

in some instances wholly forfeited in the

group, were firm to strong during the fore
