DISORDERLY SOLDIERS ARE [ GUNCED Saye Wo M, €, A, Women and Sutlers Should Be Kept Out of Farewell for Governor Shaw= Buttermakers Organise. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Jan. 6.—(Special.)—In- spector General James A. Olmsted of the Towa National Guard, in his annual re- port, makes a number of sensational criti- clsms and recommendations. He denounces most severoly the company commanders for rowdylsm, which has been permitted at encampments. ‘“There are certain or- ganizations in the guard,” he says in the report, “that it is not safe for a railway company to transport, especlally home from an encampment ach companies next year, should be deprived of the privi lege of camp or mustered out of the serv- ice. There ar» always a few men In our camps who do not seem to care that their disgraceful acts bring the whole guard into disrepute. It is usually impossible to lo- cate these cffenders personally, but their company 1s readily ascertainable and the company commander should be held re sponsible for the actions of his company It he cannot properly command and con- trol his men, he should be court-martialed and dismissed from the service. A few examples will make captains more careful and discriminating in the material they enltst,” Women Out of the Camp. Colonel Olmsted would banish women from the camps of the lowa National Guard “If they do not know or care, he says “that they are a nulsance and a detriment to the good work and benefit expected of the camp, they have go far unsexed them- selves as to be for once on an equality with men and should be plainly ordered to stay out of camp. They become a nulsance as soon as they leave home with a com- mand, crowding the cars to the discomfort of the men, and in camp they not oniy crowd the grounds, but eat to the detrimen of the company messcs, and [ have never heard of their ‘chipping in' to help out the mess.” Colonel Olmsted also denbunces the presence of the Young Men's Christian assoclation In camp, and says, “it 1s not required in camp either to handle malil or advertise itself on elaborate letter heads erroncously printed.” He would also aboligh the sutlers as the ration s suffi- clent for the authorized enlisted force In cnmp and does not need to be ‘“‘eked out with poor fices, lce cream and so-called ‘soft drinks' that are worse than slops and ruinous to the stomachs.” State Arsenal and Camp Ground. The inspeotor general also recommends that the state purchase a permanent camp ground, not in the immedlate vicinity of any city or village, and he would have the state builld an arsenal on the ground now owned by the state for that purpose. A number of changes in the military code are recommended and several new com- panfes should be organized, including a number of troops of cavalry and batteries of artillery. He recommends that the com- mander-in-chief select his staft of officers of the guard who have' been conspleuous for efficient service. The adjutant general should have full control of the camps. Mounted officers should be required to drill at least one hour a day in camp. The re- port highly commends the men of the guard Send-Of for Sceretn Members of the Grant club of Des Moincs have been assured by Governor Leslie M. Shaw that he will return from Washington in time to attend the banquet to be given in his honor before leaving for Washing- ton, January 9.
