New Army Delays Cantonments and North Dakota Regimental Status
Washington reports the new army will not rush to cantonments with Sept. 1 targets likely slipping. Crowder and Littell describe lengthy buildouts, some camps ready by mid September and others by October, with exact dates depending on lumber and infrastructure. In North Dakota, Senator McCumber confirms eleven letter companies receive federal recognition and the second regiment proceeds to front service, though Company L lacks enough men and awaits federal approval.
