Fort Humphreys, Va, where a Regular

this station is regarded by most Of thu

station, whereas at the Virginia Summer

recreation during the periods when
they are of duty.
Some changes, it was said, have been
made In the training schedule this year,
one provision being that setting-up ex-
ercises viii be held after breakfast In

n1e enid ftaf
there will not be any drills during
the afternoons, other than the usual
parades and Guard ceremonies. The
only engineering drills provided for

trenches. It also was indicated that
no overnight hike is to be held this
year.
