when the troops return to Washing
ton they will be well trained mill
tary engineers, able to take the field
and carry on in the event of war.
Appearance Wins Praise.
The troop started from armory
promptly at $3.50 o'clock yesterday.
and their excellent appearance on the
parade through the streets brought
forth much favorable comment from
those who stood on the line Of march.
They arrived at the station on the
scheduled minute, but. like all troop
trains the special assigned to the
guards, did not leave the station on
time, owing to the fact that the rail-
road company had not provided
enough cars. They were nearly half
an hour in departing. They rode part
of the way to camp on the special
and walked part of the way.
When the train reached Accotink,
Va. it was shunted off into the spur
leading directly into the camp, where
one of the camp engines picked it up.
When the train reached the trestles
on the spur, the troops were required
to get off, walk the trestle. wait for
the train on the other end, where
they again boarded 1t. These trestles
are said to.be unsafe and to prevent
casualties in event of an accident
soldiers are not permitted to ride cars
while crossing them.
However, they arrived at camp
shortly after 1 o'clock and were
marched to their barracks, a distance
of about three city blocks from the
point of entrainment. The entire
afternoon was given over to the dis
tribution of blankets, and the unload
ing and giving out of other troop i'm
peuimenta. and preparations made for
the two weeks of intensive drilling.
The regiment is expected to settle
down today, and tomorrow, after
company and squad drills in the
morning, they will start the real
engineering work, with the construc-
ton of heavy pontoon bridges on the
Potomac River which borders the
camp. erection of field Notifications

In the arrest of Nathaniel Edlin,

the theft of grocers' trucks around

Finally the score or more of 40

their one-horse-power fugitive, but
it was only after the painting animal
had been forced to pull up and admit
defeat on the banks of Rock Creek
near the gas tanks in West Washing

had some fight left, but the combina-
ton of the impossible creek ahead
and her surrounders behind broke her
spirit, and she was led passively back
to the Virginia shores.
Motorists dispersed, the crowds
disappeared and the motorcycle
officer remounted his nag, patted it
on the speedometer and returned to
his beat near the bridge, ready for
another roundup of man or beast.
