FRIDAY, JULY 25-PENNSYLVANIA DAY The CMTC students began early this morning to adjust army packs and equipment to start out for the manoeuvre which was to continue from 12:00 noon today until tomorrow afternoon. This was their first opportunity to march out as soldiers going forth to war. There was great suspense and secrecy, no one knew where the enemy was located. There were two groups designated, Reds and Blues. The most novel experience of the CMTC studentswas the pitching of their pup tents and manoeuvering during the night. Both combatants kept closing in on each other and there was little sleep for anyone during the night. The cavalry did most excellent service in capturing many of the out-posts. Company BU 12th Infantry was captured as early as 7:00 p. m. The boys thought it was great sport to hide behind trees, bushes and self-constructed trenches. it-+3 PnNNsY1.vAN1A VISITORS Page Om' llurzclfwd Thirty-jim' . . . . . . . . . - VN C M I C V-YN-V A VV- . 1. vtvltvivimv-VN.vivwmv-vmv.v.v.v.v.v.v.v Time, 4 min. 53 4-5 sec.

Messengers were coming and going, umpires were busy making decisions, but at 10:00 o'clock both armies clashed and the battle was on. There was much firing and cannons, rifles and machine guns could be heard everywhere. By 1 o'clock today all the participants were back in their quarters. A great many slept all afternoon while others went on an excursion to Washington and Mount Vernon. Hebrew services were conducted at 6:00 p. m. by Rabbi Morris S. Lazaron. On account of the strenuous two days there was little activity in the Camp tonight. SUNDAY, JULY 27 The largest religious services ever held took place in the Camp this morning. Catholic confessions began at 7:00 a. m., followed by Holy Communion at 9:00 a. m. All units headed by their respective bands marched to the Civic Centre and those of the Protestant faiths entered the theatre and those of the Roman Catholic faith entered the Camp Chapel. ' The singing was under the direction of Chaplain Stick assisted by the 6th Field Ar- tillery Band. Chaplain Freeman presided. Chaplain Biggs was to have delivered the sermon, but quite unexpectedly the Chief of Chaplains, Colonel John T. Axton, arrived in Camp and finally he was prevailed upon to orate. He delivered a sermon which will never be forgotten. MONDAY, JULY 28 Ten thousand men participated in the Grand Review today, practically closing the activities of the CMTC for this year. All the members of the CMTC, the ROTC and the Officers Reserve Corps and the Regular Army were in line. The demonstration was considered the largest held since the close of the VVorld War.
