/ compliments when they 20 into
the field for their annual maneuvers
later this month, many transfers are
being made between the active units
and the Reserves. Many Of them,
1t was indicated at headquarters, are
made necessary by the inability Of
men to obtain leave from their civilian
employment, and in order not to
jeopardize the positions OF these men
officers are not insisting that they
90 to camp There are q number
Of men on the inactive list who are
ready and willing to 60 to camp and
these are being transferred TO take
the places Of the men unable to 60,
and thus the companies are being
kept at their full strength.
1t was pointed out by officials at
headquarters that there are usually on
the inactive list approximately 400
men at all times. Many of these
men were transferred to the inactive
list during the armory drill period
for various reasons. principally be-
cause Of the fact that they attend
schools at night and also work at
night, which prevents them attending
the drills, which also are held a night.
These men, of course, are available
months and are usually sent back to
the active lists when the schools
close.
The largest transfer during the past
week was in Company A, l2lst En-
gineers, when 81 men were sent from
the active to the inactive list of
that command because OF business
interference with the performance of
military duty. They are:
Pvts. Alfred w. Anderson, Ray
Aubil, Ebert w. Bradford, Frederick
j. Dameron. William N. Fowler, Labre
r. Garcia, Joseph L. Grant, jr; John

In addition to providing training

close contact between the Guarc
| and the Youths of the city who are ex'
pected to be the future guardsmen
Orders prepared by Col. John w
Oehmann, commanding the local Ma.
tional Guard and the 12lst Regiment
of Engineers, provide for the motor
caravan which will carry the troops
to the encampment to leave here al
$50 O'Clock on the morning OF Aug
ust II. and to arrive at Mount Gretna
Pa. at 2 pm, with a short stop al
noon north of Gettysburg for lunch
The march will be by way Of Fred
erick. Gettysburg and Harrisburg.
The interior camp administration
order provides that the troops will
arise each day to $50 reveille, and
turn in at 1890 o'clock, when taps
will be sounded.
While the troops are going into the
field ostensibly under field conditions
when they are expected to get theil
food in the old Army lineup, with
their own mess kits, it was said that
the ARMY headquarters has capitu-
lated to the extent Of allowing funds
for the construction Of mess tables
so that the men may sit down to theil
meals in regular fashion. instead o1
finding spots here and there on the
/ landscape.
IT. also was determined that the troop
which will go from Washington b
train will have their cars attached Il
trains from sections Of Virginia a.
thev pass through the city. This, II
was pointed out, will necessitate load
ing of the baggage on the cars the day
before. and as there are no funds
available for the pay Of troops fol
additional day in which to load thu
trains. it will be necessary to call fol
volunteers among the officers anc
men.
An advance detail will leave here
on August IA for the camp to carry
out the instructions Of the camp COM
mander for preliminary work prior tc
the arrival of troops. This detail will
include four officers and flve enlisted
men. the officers being the executive
officer Of the engineer regiment, the
