Encampment at Camp

Brigadier-General Albert Green

returned the latter part OF last week
from Fort Ethan Allen, Burlington.

Wednesday attending the encamp-
ment of the 172nd Infantry, Vermont
National Guard.
while there were inspected the
Regiment, and on August 10th re-
viewed the 112nd, combined with
two batteries of the 18th [. 5. Field
Artillery and a troop of the 3rd Cav
airy, Regular Army. Governor Bill
ings of Vermont and Major General
Preston Brown, commander OF the
LIST Corps Area, were present at this
review, one of the most impressive
military displays ever put on in New
England" said General GreenlaW.
1--WE were present when Lieutenant
Earl Fleet arrived from Camp keyes
with Colonel Gohn, making the trip
from Augusta in an hour and 40
minutes in his DeIaviland.'
General Greenlaw is very enthusi-
astic over the development of both
the 172nd and 103rd Infantry or
CARNATIONS. and said yesterday
morning: Il doubt very much if
there are two finer National Guard
outfits in this country than the two
mentioned. The encampment just
finished at Camp keyes has been
the most successful ever held here,
both from the viewpoint of instruc-
ton given the officers and men, and
the social side. The citizen of Au
gusta certainly did everything pos
sible to make the encampment pleas
ant for the soldiers, and the boys
appreciated their efforts"
General GreenlaW stated that the
members of the 172nd Regiment APP
preached him while at Fort Ethan
Allen with a proposal to hold a bril-
gade encampment at Camp Reyes
This would bring about 5000 men
to Augusta, the plan suggested be-
ing to hold a joint encampment with
the 103rd and the various artillery
units. 1t would be a fine thing for
Maine, and there is plenty of equip
ment to handle this number at the
camp" he added.

geant Elliot C. Goodwin are in
charge of the display for this de-
partment and will remain at Ban
gor during the fair.
Monday evening General Hanson
left Bangor for Washington, -. c.,
where he will confer with the chief
OF the Militia Bureau in regard to
the expenditure of funds left over
from the encampments just complet-
ed. Owing to the observance of
strict economy by the quartermaS-
tiers of the various units the original
appropriations made for these en-
campments proved more than ample,
and Major Roy c. Decker, Federal
disbursing officer, said Monday that
there will be between four and five
thousand dollars remaining from
this source.
General Hanson hopes to have this
money used for the Maine National
Guard. and is making the trip to
Washington to see if this can be
arranged

ais department carried the material
from the various State departments
10 Bangor the latter part Of last
week, 50 that the exhibits could be
set up in plenty of time for the fair,
which opened today.
Although sporadic attempts have
been made from time to time along
similar lines, this is the first year
that the governor OF the state has
ordered such a display of the work
being done by the departments at
the Capitol building, and it is believ-
ed that 1t will prove q most effective
form of advertising for the state, as
! well as being valuable from an
educational Viewpoint.

the long, needle-like drill down into
the wood, until it's end comes to the

summer has been the most salts

amount of construction has been go

as a whole. However, various sea-

lack of employment, and with the
exception of the per cent that
makes up the usual floating element
there has been plenty of work for
every man who was honestly seeking
