amazingly in the last few years.

however, prevented It arranging its own

returned with a vanguard, consisting
of forty officers of that unit on the
Holland American liner Rotterdam. All
the officers. virtually every one of them
representing a different locality in the

Colonel Downes said the matter of

he refused to discuss the rlans. stating
he preferred to wait until the entire
regiment reached camp before com
plcting the arrangements.
