While an entire division of national
guardsmen were in combat against an
ina ginary red army at Camp Henry

conquest in the sphere of radio. 1t
presaged the time when ether waves
may tell the tale of a real war, army
officials believe. The United States
Signal Corps supervised the radio
casting from station WHAS of the
Courier-Journal and the Louisville

All night the spectacle continued

three field artillery units, batallions
including more infantry. tank corps.
ambulances with stretcher bearers and
hospital attendants. The invisible en-
envy is expected to retire across the
boundary line of the Ohio river about
noon Saturday.

mouth so large that ten to twelve
men could stand therein, has a
throat but eight inches in diameter.

was grown in a bowl from piece
