SUMMER CAMP FOR STATE MILITIA

Indiana National Guard Will Bo Sent to Camp Dodge, lowa, AugnstlOth to 20th. 1 Army .maneuvers will be minimised this year because -the regular troops are so generally in use along the Mexican border, and the camps will be largely confined to the militia, with perhaps a company of regulars at each maneuver eamp. The war department has announced the dates and places tor holding the various summer camps and Indiana tor the first time since the maneuvers at West Point, Ky., will be sent out of the state They will encamp at Fort Dodge, lowa, August 10th to 20th, inclusive. The big war games planned earlier in the year have been abandoned, owing to the fact that the army has been so busily engaged in the Mexican matter. Colorado troops will not go into eamp this summer, because of the fact that they were on duty in the strike district for so long. The novelty of going out of the state for the camp will be pleasing to the militia organizations of Indiana and should inspire many enlistments. 7 ~ —~
