TKOOPS in REVIEW.
The semi-monthly division review OF

sion commander, and brigadier gen.
eral inspector Of the regular army this
morning.
Mystic Shriners from New Mexico
and west Texas at Deming to conduct
street parade and afternoon cere-
monial, in which many officers and
enlisted men were initiated, were
present at the army review.
Nebgaska Ready.
The Nebraska boys at Camp Cody
are ready.
Trained to the minute, the C,rn-
husker state lads have been antieirat-
ing a move for several months. ard
expect soon to see action on the
American front in France. According
to letters written home by members
of the 127th Field artillery. wni.h
formerly was the Fourth Nebraska
National Guard, the soldiers have
been on the verge OF leaving America
on several occasions, but were de-
layed for some unaccountable rea-
son.
In Training Year.
The Nebraska boys Of the Fourth
and Fifth National Guard have been
in training for over d year, having
seen service for six months on the
Mexican border. Returning h;me.
they were inactive for only a month
when the. European war broke out,
They are considered by army off
GERS to be perhaps the best trained
soldiers in the United States. The old
Fourth Nebraska has taken to the ar
tillery work with a vengeance, the
letters home declare, and are even
more efficient in this work than they
were as ihfantrymen.
What Conference Means.
The Ell Paso review, together with
arrangements being made by railway
officials, in all probability means that
the Nebraskans soon will entrain for
France. Rumors were current some
time ago that the 127th field artillery
would be transferred to Fort Omaha
to work with the balloons here, simi-
lar to the plan now carried out in
France.
Undoubtedly when the order comes
for the Camp Cody contingent to en-
train it will be composed mostly Of
Nebraska, Iowa and Dakota boys, who
are in the vast majority at Deming.
