been placed on the active lists.
Camp plans are being studied by
Brig. Gen. Cox and the officers,
but, in view Of the uncertain field
services required this year, every
thing is more or less in q tentative
state. It was said to be unlikely
that anything definite will be an
nounced until after the Army ap-
preparation bill, carrying the funds
for field training, is passed by Con-
gress. Provision Is contained for
gigantic maneuvers, but If these are
not finally approved by the national
Legislature, then the troops will be
confined to their base camps. Rec
concentrations already have been
sent to the Sd Corps Area for the
location Of these camps, but no in
formation has been received in re-
turn as to what action will be taken
on the selections made by the Guard
officials.
Furthermore. It is to be determined
whether the troops are to have three
weeks in camp instead Of the usual
two. II they only get two weeks at
base camp there follows the possible
ity, 1t was indicated, that they may
get another week during the winter
months. rs they did last December.
However, 1t Is the belief Of the Of
ficers that 1t would be better for
them to take the full three weeks
at one time, 50 that they could
participate In broader field training,
which would not only harden them
for actual field conditions, but would
give them greater training in field
operations.
With the approach Of the end Of
the fiscal year all units have had to
suspend one drill . month, 10 as
to have four drills this month and
four In June. The l2lst Engineers
are supplanting their armory drills
BY putting In their time st the
rths range ct Congress Heights.
