T@ Gen. George w. Read OF Colum-

Corps Area. United States Army,
was the guest of honor this morn
ing at Camp Read, the military
training school named for him at
Barackville.
The general was due to arrive
at 1O:3O this morning. but the
train was twenty-five minutes late,
making the arrival at 10: SO in
stead. General Read detrained at
Barackvi1le where he was met by
Lieut.. Col. Thomas c. Davis. the
camp commander, and Capt. David
u. Myers, the regular army in
structor. and brought to the camp
in an automobile, arriving there
at I L O'Clock.
The automobile halted at one
end Of Ices meadows, opposite the
camp tents, and the soldiers
marched by in review. Though
many Of the men are now doing
their first army work, all had the
appearance Of finished veterans
this morning From every point
Of view, the performance Of the
men was entirely satisfactory.

Needless to say, the general
found the camp in first class con

man expressed it, for the high Of

observer, there was not much

Overcome by Heat
Only one happening occurred TO
mar the morning. One Infantry
man was overcome by heat while
ready for the review. He
was given first aid treatment I'M

to take part in the review by the
time Of the generals arrival.
Most OF the tents were furled,
this morning, giving the camp an
air Of briskness. A furled tent has
all the dignity Of a soldier stand
