Sept 28 Information received hero jesteiday in dlcated that when the Second and Third Infantry Regiments get to Camp McClcl Jan the early part of next week, being federalized, they will be consolidated with the First Dclavvure Infnntrj, the three being amalgamated into a single regiment Of 3700 men. This would leave S00 or 100 men over, and it is bellovvd that about this number will bo employed in forming machine-gun companies. In this event the Interesting" question that arises Is who will be colonel of the new regiment. Tho Delaware regiment has a colonel and Colonel Landon, of the Third. Is going to Annlston Colonel Rending, of tho Second, has not yet definitely ascer tained whether he Is to go South. There had been some tall: that the Government would retain Colonel London, who Is head ,cf the Bordentown Military Academy, in ' this State Instead ot pending him South, In connection with a plan to train officers for tho new army at Bordentown. But however this may develop. It will not affect , the Colonel, w ho has arranged all his af fairs to go not only to Annlston, but to , France. As soon as orders were out for entrap ment of the Third Regiment tomorrow routine drills wero dispensed with and the officers set the men to cleaning camp.

They reached Augusta this j omlng, coining from Camp Sheridan, at Montgomery, Ala. While the military features of the camp are directed by the division commander, the supply depots come under the jurisdiction of the departmental to-nmander. It Is particularly for tho purpose of Inspecting these drpots that General Duvall and Colo nel Gallagher arc making thl tour Belief that the 2600 men needed to bring the Twenty-eighth Division to war strength would be drawn from Penusv.

It Is hoped that the War Depart ment will pei ink l'onnsslvania draftmen only to Join the former Pennsjlvanla na tional guardsmen, so that the Identity of the division as a puie! Pennsjlvanla one may be pieserved The suggestion that the Philadelphia regi ments be filled with Philadelphia draftmen and the nther Pennsjlvanla regiments ie celvo draftmen fiom their sections of the Staff Is greatly favnted at camp.
