CAMP RITCHIE, Cascade, Md., Aug- wst 13—In response to an invitation from Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan to visit the District of Columbia National Guard troops at Camp Ritchie, Ccl. Luther H. Reichelderfer, president of the Board of Commissioners, has informed the general that he will be present one day during the coming weck. The exact date of his-visit is not stated. Col. Reichelderfer is a former member of the District of Columbia Nationa Guard, having passed ‘through the va- rious commissioned grades during more than 25 years of service and having reached the grade of lieutenent colonel of Infantry, being assigned to the 1st Infantry, which was in existence be- fore the Wd#ld War. Later Col. Relch- elderfer was transferred to the Medical Corps and became the chief surgeon of the local National Guard, in which capacity he was serving when called into Federal service in 1917. Visits Coast Artillery. Gen. Stephan visited the 260th Coast Artillery yesterday efternoon at iis temporary camp at the fair grounds at Hagerstown Gen. Stephan is being accompanied by & number of mem of his staff and wi'l remein in the Coast Artillery camp for the evening demonstration, which takes place in conjunction with the 29th Division Air Sertice. The 29th Division staff is to visit the 91st Brigade at Virginia Beach to wit- ness a_demonstraticn of a mechanized force from Fort BEustis, Va. Officers and men in camp are looking forward to the demcnstration to be given August 19 by the 260th Coast Artillery, the 29th Aviation and and 20th Signal Company, the three units representing the RDis- trict of Columbia, Maryland and Vir- ginia. Demonsirations will be had in the forenoon and searchlights and other traps in the evening Yesterday Gen panied b t. Col. Pe: Capt. Carey E. Stear aide from Virginia, and Lieut. Philip W. Root, aide from Pennsylvania, visited the 20th Division Air Service at Prederick, Md. | Gen, Stephan made a tour of the Air | Service facilities and found that, while the landing field was not entirely com- leted, the buildings were practically nished and consist of hollow-tiled con- struction, laid out in/a very attractive manner and In such a way as to afford the best accammodations Plans for Maneuver. Plans are being made for the ma- neuver, in which a blue army will hold s line’ from Gaithersburg to Glencce, opposing & red army which, theoreti- cally, will have seized Washington and Baltimore. The 20th Division staff will be withdrawn from the first blue army and assigned to the blue second army with instructions to proceed to a secret destination in the New England States to oppose another red army which ap- pears to be planning an advance along the main Quebec frontier The present nlans call for a problem in the entrainment of troops, using Frederick, Md.. as the principal entrain- ing point. The red army has gained naval supremacy and reduced the de- fenses of th: Chesapeake and, by so doing, has been able to seize and hold Washington and Baltimore. The line as held at the time the exercise starts will be from Gaithersburg to_Glencoe This line will be the 20th Division's front before receiving orders to entrain for the North Theoretical Trains. To carry the troops 75 theoretical standard type trains have been allotted to the div.sion, and will move at hourly intervals, it being estimated that 24 trains will be required to carry the in- fantry; 14 trains toe field artillery qight): 11 (heavy); 4 trains for the ammu tion; 3 trains for the engineers; 5 trains for the medical; 9 trainstfor the division quartermaster, and 5 trains for divisional headquarters and special units, necessitating prompt movement on the part of all units to Frederick in order to entrain on the transportation provided for them so that there will bz no congestion during ths maneuvers. During this exercise the National Guard officers will be under the close super- vision of officers assigned fro 3d Corps Area, and, after comple will hoid & u= and bring to the attention of the staff any mistakes that they may have observed. The primary reason for a problem of this character 1s to illustrate the most important con- siderations involved in the use of a large number of standard type raiiroad trains for the movement of an entire infantry division, and emphasize the tncidents relative thereto Construction of the new Alpine high- way across the Grossglockner Range in Austria has been resumed, and nearly 1,500 men already are empioyed.

LISBON, August 13.—Deciphering of | an inscription on & rock on the banks of the Taunton River in Bristol County, Massachusetts, designated as the “Rjgh- ton Stone.” has revived an old Portu- guese claim that the first European ttle in the United States was a criuguese nav'gator During four centuries this stone bore upon its flank mysterious hieroglyphics, which were not deeiphered until cently when the gAmerican profe mund Burke Defabarre, supplied the Engraved in rough characters is the name “Corte Real” a Portuguese navi- gator, and the date 1511. Also the Tatin words: Voluntate dei hic dux in- dorum chich _roughly _translated means the will of God T became here the chief of the Indians.” Capt. Miguel Corte Real set out from Lisbon et the head of an exploration party May 10. 1502. Having reached the coast of Newfoundland he decided that his three ships should separate and explore the seas in three direc- tions. For some reason two ships re- turned to Portugal, while the third, commanded by Corte Real, was never heard from again Students feel the dramatic story of Corte Real has at last been revealed by the deciphering of the fnscription on the Dighton stone. The ship, according to authentic reports, since corroborated by two other American professors, was attacked by the Indians in the Assonet region and her master captured by the Indians. But he was said to have won the good will of his captors and to have been proclaimed their chief SPEND 13 YEARS IN STUDY. Brown U. Professor Searched 600 Volumes on Early Explorations. ASSONET, Mass., August 12 (# Generations of scholars since 1680 have copied and recopied the vague hieroglyphs carved into the surface of a great greenstone boulder on®the bank of the Taunton River. Some saw in them the characteristics of Norse Runes found in Iceland and Scandinavia end concluded they were further proof of visits by Vikings to New England's shores Other students decided the inscrip- LANSBURGH'S 7th, 8th and E Sts.—NAtional 9800 No Connection With Any Other Washington Store tion was “an Indian petroglyph.” ! When Pro‘. Edmund B. Delabarre of Brown Unitersity, Providence, R. I.| undertook a_ study of the rock and its | inseription he found it neceseary to | plough through 600 volumes relating to the subject | For 13 years he devoted a part of his time to systematic research. First, he | found “the date 1511 standing out clearly amid the perplexing mass of inseriptions.” Then he began a studv of sixteenth century explorers and discovered that early in that period two Portuguess adventurers had sailed presumably for Northeastern America and never re- turned. One of these was Miguel Corte Real who in 1502 went in search of his brother, Gaspar, who had made one voyage to Labrador and Newfoundland and had vanished on his second trip.
