To Be Tent Camp.
Iowa National Guard troops have not
been started to Demins SO soon as eN-
pected because of delay in getting the
camp in shape to receive them. 1t has
been learned unofficially. however,
the camp will be in condition to receive
one company from each regiment by
Saturday of this week. This may mean
that the first detachments which were
named ten days ago to go in advance
of the other troops may be leaving for
Camp Cody within few days
Camp Cody is to be a tent camp. This
is possible because of the warm clim-
ate. However tbece will be many build :

ment in Des MONIES Sept. l, with H.
900 more men from Minnesota, Neg
braska and the Dakotas, according to
orders received yesterday by Governor

from Provost Marshal General Crow
der.
Crowder's message announced that
plans were formulated for a call Of
one third of the first selective army
on Sept. l and urged that conscription
boards be prodded along to see that
their duties were completed in time to
have all exemption claims decided on
that date.
Accordingly, kilograms were immedi-
ately sent to all draft boards in the
state asking them to- expedite their
work as much as possible.
1t is hoped to give the men as much
Of the preliminary training as is pos
sible before cold weather sets in, Which
will undoubtedly result in some SLOW
ing down" of work.
