Bj Will Cmw .Camp Lewis, Wash., July 10.- Due to unprecedented facilities for camp and equipment, officers in charge of the mid-summer encampment of the National Guard -of Oregon pre dict unparalleled success for the Or egon militia event. With 'the exception of eight men as signed to camp duly from each conv pany, guard Units in their full strength take part in all drill and : maneuver schedules. The eight men oh the daily duty roster are . assigned as orderies. kitchen police or fatigue drilL , :. OPPORTUNITIES .'. OFFERED "Every mam In the regiment Is being given an opportunity to increase v the recognlxed standmg of his units," Bald Colonel - C. E. Dentler, Inspector in structor ..with the Oregon National Guard. "Exceptional interest in ' :h work is evident and the national guard units of Oregon will return from this encampment with a more definite real lzation of the value ot detailed mili tary routine." . All details of r military life in eamp and field are receiving needed - atten tion. The Oregon boys are awakened each morning at 5:45 by the regimental field music. All unit buglers turn out for- this and are successfully executing field marches and the various calls. Buglers receive three hours of 1rttrue tion each day nder the direction of Sergeant Bugler M.

This band is with headquarters detachment and is com posed solely of i Portland musicians. Band Leader Philip M. Hicks and Ser geant T. A. Willett are in charge. The band la spending five hours each day at practice, in addition to regular formations, playing at battalion parade, retreat and guard mount ceremonial. f. Colonel Dentler has expressed keen satisfaction" with the excellent corps of instructors, detailed from thex Thirty fifth artillery brigade of Camp Lewis regulars for work with the Oregon Coast artillery companies, and instruc tors from infantry units. Two captain-instructors from the First infantry and two from the Thirty-fifth infantry are assigned to the Oregon in fantry units. The instructing officers are aided by eight sergeant-Instructors and, with. the regularly detailed corps of the inspector-Instructors' staff, perma nently Attached to the Fifth Oregon, are carrying out the formulated routine. This consists of a complete schedule of instruction for infantry, approved by the commanding general of the western de partment. . . 'h " SHARP HEMIlfJEB8 G1TE3T No consideration of the personal com fort of officers and men is embraced in the routine of nightly guard duty. Many times during the night the sentry's1 strident tones, "Halt, who goes there t" reminds the guardsmen that they are really -in the military game. 1 Companies on guard perform under assumed conditions, of active ; service. Eighty men are on the night guard de tail, constantly patrolling the Oregon section of camp. The captaln-comman der of the company on guard assumes the duties of officer of the day, company lieutenants being officers ot the guard. .- Regimental Commander Creed C. Hammond and the . inspector-instructor's staff consider that this is a: camn nf instructioVi and that nothing will be al lowed to interfere with the furtherance . of the work in hand. However, "grumb ling" is only, of the surface variety and a general willingness to work in accord ance with the aroused military interest Is evident. , 1 . rOKTLANI ROOKS FIRST TO MAKE "ARREST" AT NIGHT Camp Lewis, Wash., July 10. During their first night, of guard duty "B" com pany of Portland walked away with the honor of making the first military arrest during the present encampment. About 11 o'clock Thursday night, one of the sentries on . Post No. 6 spied a uniformed figure, hurrying through the dusk and "promptly halted the fugutive. A passing officer asserted that the prisoner was a deserter and then paused, expecting that the sentry would suc cumb to the excitement by . leaving his posi ana personally escorting His cap tive, to the guardhouse. This, of course is. a violation of guard codes and was a severe test fori the raw young militiaman, who hesitated for sev- eral moments before "sounding'? for the corporal of . the guard. j That they were being tested never oc curred to the members of guard detail. the corporal arriving on the "double quick" and hurrying his prisoner to the camp donjon. - The "deserter's" arrival occasioned no small stir among the .members' of the guard relief.. Each man held his rifle more firmly while the prisoner exhibited evident desire to accomplish more de serting before the arrival of the officer of the day. That official, upon putting in an ap pearance, took the prisoner into cus today and departed for an "investigation' or the deserter's" claims that be was innocent. "B" company was in blissful ignorance or the hoax played upon them In testing their capabilities in aruard detail. Captain IX D. Hale la com- mander of the unit.
