an altogether different organization
from the militia which existed be-
fore the war. Training at pre-
vious camps we're along infantry
lines, but at Camp Chandler, instruc-

Guard is now a member of the Coast
Artillery Corps, equipped as an anti
aircraft regiment
! With the great changes wrought
in military tactics during the World
War this will mean further revisions
in the maintenance and routine OF
the annual State encampment. In
previous years the camp was held
for only one week. Camp Chandler
will continue for Is days. Colonel
II. w. Stark, regular army man and
instructor Of the Delaware regi-
ment, is senior officer.

are expected to be in camp by noon

been made to accommodate be-
tween 700 and 500 men. The new
garage is practically completed and
pipe lines laid and trenches filled.
An excellent water supply has been
obtained by connecting a new 10000
tank with numerous springs.

lied as a parade and drills grounds
