B. Jackson and Capt. George H. Evans, the last named business manager of the chamber of com- merce, selected the places to be marked and also made arrangements for the erection of the tablets. These will be a great help to the thousands of tourists who annually visit Alex- andria, as most of the places now to be marked have done without a marker of any kind for years past. ‘The funds for the erection of the tablets were secured by popular sub- scription through the efforts of the chamber of commerce. The move- ment was launched about two years ago.

The men were preparing to leave camp when the storm broke, and by the time they had completed pack- ing their equipment were well soaked. They were picked from every com- -—--First 2 Days of Our 810-818 Seventh Strest WOMEN'S LISLE WOMEN'S FITRITE UNION pany of the 1218t Engineers and were selected because of their military ex- rience, special qualifications and wbility to attend a school of instruc- wlon to prepare them as instructors for the large number of guardsmen who will go to camp with the Dis- trict troops this summer at the maln annual encampment. The detachment was selected by Maj. John W. Oehmann, commanding, upon recommendation of the various company commanders. Only a few men from each company were allowed to attend. They left the armory Monday morning early, arriving at camp two hours luter, and Immedi- ately tackled the program which had been prepared for them by Cuapt H. H. Pohl, Regular Army inst in charge of National ing. Not an hour was lost during the entire week from the original sclied- ule outlined, in spite of the two days of rainy weather.” Schedule of Work, The mornings were devoted to rifle practice. From Monday until Friday the afternoons were devoted to in- drill, - engineer construction work and athlctics. A Lampert bridge was _constructed over the large camp swimming pool, under the direction of Capt. R. M. McCuthen of ¥ort Humphrey, while lectures on modern warfare, trench making and barbed wire entanglements —were glven by Capt. H. H. Pohl. This was followed by practical demonstrations under the directipn of Capt. Joseph C. Sutton and Sergeant-Instructor Coanshock. The value of the training received was demonstrated in a practical manner Friday afternoon when the large wooden reservoir, containin the camp's water supply, became d: fective and the supply of water wa cut off.
