Improvement has been made in
physical features Of the camp since
last year. New sewage disposal system
costing $4,000 has been installed and
cement floors have been laid for the
tents, which are wired for electricity
Although most Of the tents required
by the District Guardsmen were already
pitched, having been left IN place by

soldiers, outnumbering the Maryland
contingent, were compelled to erect their
own shelters, which task was completed
Just In time to provide protection from
the rain.
Hedges Have Been Planted.
Since last year the company streets
have been leveled to o considerable
degree and cleared of large stones and
tree stumps with which they were
strewn. Landscape work on . small
scale also has been started with the
planting of hedges In the area occupied
by the officers Of division headquarters.
The other officers, including Col.
John w. Oehmann, camp commander,
are quartered adjoining their COM

TROUBLES BESET
D. c. GUARDSMEN
March to Wrong Station and
Baggage Is Delayed-Rain
Sweeps Camp.
BY WILLIAM 6. TARVER,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star

CAMP ALBERT c. RITCHIE, Cas-.
cade, Md, August 12.-After, consider
able delay In the transportation Of
troops and baggage which Maj. Gen.
Anton Stephan, commander Of the 29th
Division, reported to the War Depart
ment was attributable to mismanage-
ment by railway officials, the 121st En-
gineers of the District National Guard,
with division headquarters and attached
units, arrived safely here yesterday after
noon for their two-week annual encamp-
ment and spent the remainder Of the
day getting settled in their new quar-
tiers and preparing for the beginning Of
their arduous training schedule today.
The troops were to entrain at Union
Station yesterday morning at $50
o'clock. After they had paraded with
full packs most Of the distance from
the Guard Armory to the railway ter
| minal, 1t was discovered by an advance
party that no provision had been made
/ for their transportation at the main
station, but that the troop train had
been drawn into a siding in the Eek
ington yards at Florida avenue and
lexington place northeast. Accordingly
it was a disgruntled body Of men wha
boarded the train and arrived in camp
To make matters worse, their baggage
and equipment, which was shipped from
Washington Saturday and should have
been awaiting them when they arrived
here, was sidetracked at Hagerstown,
Md. and was allowed to remain there
until the passage Of the troop train, to
which it was hooked. The result was
that it was nightfall before some of
the men were provided for Adequately
and equipped.
RainstOrm Adds to Trourls.
The process Of getting established in
the camp was further impedea by a
heavy rainstorm, which swept she top
of the mountains on which the en-
campment is perched, yesterday after
noon.
Fortunately the drainage Of the site
is good and the troops suffered little
discomfort.
Today. the Engineers began their
course in rifle craftsmanship, which
will eliminate in firing on the range
for record. For purposes of training,
the regiment is broken up into three
sections composed of two companies
