(The fact that no change was made In
the cavalry regiment by the reorganisation

ing to Captain Thayer and his men. They
t-expressed themselves as perfectly satis
?fled yesterday, but added that they would
S like to have mounts ustlgneil to them In
f the near future.
t Although far away from even audi hum
"Jble amusements as Augusta ran offer, the
; men of the troop are finding plenty of ex
l cltement at the remount station. Water
t;for shower baths has not yet been pumped
pinto tho Btatlon and, therefore, it has been
necessary for the troopers to go to But
ter's Creek to bathe. This was fine sport
until a gigantic rattler was discovered on
ythe bank of the creek bj Sergeant Wister
jkltandolph. He seized a heavy stick nud
.killed the reptile, which had eleven rattles.

CAMP DIN. Wrlghtstown, N. J.. Sept. 24.
There have been no dismissals ns et
from the camp on account of physical dis
abilities There are several reasons for
this In the first place the physical exam
inations of the last contingent will not be
completed until the end of this week, and
all those who will he recommended for
discharge will first have their case re
viewed by divisional surgeons
Thoso finally rejected will leave In a
body, but the number of rejections will be
very small nnd It Is not expected that It
nil exceed 4 per cent at the very outside
It Is the purpose of the medical department
to use a sort of n sliding scale method in
examinations, and because a man has n
physical dlsibilltv that would bar him from
actual fighting in the trenches It does not
mean he would he rejected If n man has
hii other (uallflcatlons that could be used
behind the lltips. unless he Is absolutely
phyHlcall.v unfit. hP will bP used In non-
I'umuamiii s-ervlres.
Regimental and company commanders are
having man.v nmuslng experiences with
some of thp rookies who cannot speak
Kngllsh The non-Kngllsh speaking rookie
finds It entire! Immaterial what outfit he
dillls with ns long as he drills Conse
quently. It Is not nn unusual sight to see
a enptnin Irving to account for four extra
men in his rompativ while a few barracks
nwnv another captain is In dismay, think
ing that foui of his men have deserted, and
It all comes about because Felix Slpplpakoi
ski or l.uthurlos Pappageorphilous happen
to mistake their barracks and are unable
to Inquire their vwiv back.
Yet these lookles who do not speak Ilng
lish are making ver good progress and
learn the many foimatlons and movements
b close observation. Men who cannot
speak Kngllsh are not placed in ranks or
quarters with other men who cannot speak
Kngllsh, but tliev are kept out of contact
with forelgneis and thrown among men
who speak nothing but Kngllsh.
These men will have to learn Kngllsh
and oncers feel that this is the onl wa.v
thev will learn Offlceis all lemark on
the loyaltv of these foielgu "rookies" and
the slnceie efforts they make to do the
right thing

CAMP M'CLELLAN MEN
TO BE REINOCULATED
Faulty Record of Border Work
Supposed Cause of Gen
eral Ruling
CAMP McCI.Kr-LAN. Annlston, Ala., Sept.
25.
Thousands of troops who had believed
that they would be exempted from the
typhoid, paratyphoid and smallpox Inocu
lations and vaccinations will be compellea
to take them again. Faulty records of the
Inoculation work that was done last year
nt the time the men wore treated when on
tho border service are believed to be respon
sible for tho decision of the War Depart
ment to have every man treated. The work
In this camp was started with the officers
of the general staff, and the treatment will
be carried through the entire division
The directors of ambulances and field hos
pitals have arrived In camp for duty, and
the organization of the division sanitary
train will soon be taken up. It has nlready
been made known that the sanitary train
is to be made up of all of the officers and
enlisted men of the medical department, in
cluding the ambulance companies and field
hospitals already In existence
Major Valentine nuch Jr . of Knglewood.
V .T . who has been detailed here as the
director of ambulances, will probably have
much to do with the organization of the
two additional companies lequlred to rill up
the train's quota of four ambulance outfits
The fact that New Jersey's company was
Included In the Rainbow Division threw It
out of the Twent -ninth Division, and It will
be necessary to organize two more compa
nies, as the Maryland and Virginia outfits
are the only two now Included
One additional field hospital will also bo
required before the division will have its
quota of these units Maryland. Virginia
and New Jersey have each contributed one
Held hcspltal. Major W. T Relchclderfcr.
of the District of Columbia, will rcrve In the
same relationship to the organisation of the
new field hospital that Major Ruch serves
In the formation of the ambulance units
Tho work of the organization of the sani
tary train will be one of the most exacting
duties of the whole reorganization scheme
here. Tho train, when complete, will em
brace approximately 1300 troops Nine hun
dred of these will be with the train proper
and the remainder will comprise the various
sanitary detachments with the numerous
organizations The men who go into the
composition of these outfits must be the
pick of the division, because they must
have certain qualifications not required of
the men in any other branch of the game
Under the present plan two of the field
hospitals and two of the ambulance com
panies win be equipped with mule-drawn
vehicles nnd the other two In each class
will be given motor-driven equipment Some
of the units are nlreadv supplied with the
ambulances and such etiulpment
Already the medical units here have done
good work The Virginia field hospital Is
now being used ns the temporary base hos
pital pending the completion of the mam
moth base hospital that Is being constructed
by the Government on the reservation here
This hospital has been planned as a per
manent base hospital for the United States
troops, and It will he maintained here even
after the war. It is being constructed nt
an enormous cost of almost a quarter of a
million dollars It Is located on one side
of the reservation, on one of the most
delightful! situated parts of the whole big
camp.

CAMP MEADE. ADMIRAL, Md Sept. 2S.
neBpondlnp to the call that has been sent
across the seas by France. Major General
Joseph R Kuhn, commander of the Seventy
ninth Division, today launched a program
that will develop a real "punch" for his
army.
That the Phlladelphlans and eastern
I'ennsylvanlans who nre to make up a large
part of this fighting force are to be work
ers and not fancy soldiers was Impressed
upon tho Juniors officers who como In di
rect contact with the men.
They were told that modem warfare de
manded real workers and not the type of
soldier who Is trained to participate In col
orful dress parades and showy maneuvers.
To develop the modern type or the type
that Is now making history on all the Eu
ropean fronts It Is first necessary to create
men who are physically perfect, and. sec
ond, to Imbue them with spirit and the
ability to obey commands
It matters not whether a man falls lo
c Ick his heels together when addressing a
major general so long ns he Is known ns
a willing worker r.nd one who does as he
Is told.
As It Is virtually assured that n part of
mis uivision win movo to Franco within
four months, the work of developing the
men Into efficient fighting machines has be
gun much rooner than expecte-1
From Washington has come woid that no
time is to be lost lu this work, and nothing
could please General Kuhn mote He Is
nnxlous to "take on" th3 Kaiser and, realiz
ing that the sooner his army Is trained the
sooner he will 'and In France, ho has
mapped out an elaborate training program
Today the boys were given some gruel
ing work In the torm of setting-up exer
cises that are designed to put them In
shape physically, and given road stunts that
nre not ordinarily given to second or third
ear men In the at my.
Over the roads 'o Camp Meade they hiked
nt double time They Jumped over rocks,
dodged motortrucks, leaped over sewer
trenches and did a score or more of stunts
that raused their bodies to ache This Is
the kind of work that they must do on the
fighting lines, and General Kuhn Intends to
have them In shape for It
Fine details In military training which
Involves the spectacular and fancy evolu
tlons will be eliminated for efficiency In
that line will not win the war, according
to the army officers.
In a few weeks the Infantry units will
get down to practical trench work. Thou
sands of picks and shovels are on the way
to the camp and will be used by the men
as real Instruments of war.
Tomorrow the boys from Maryland and
the District of Columbia will arrive. Plans
have been made to give the first arrivals
a royal welcome. General Kuhn and his
staff officers will be on hand to greet the
men and the band of the Twentieth New
York Heglment and 314th Infantry, Na
tional Army, will be at the Disney Station,
