Information received hero jesteiday in

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
picked It as clean us a whistle, going over

Belief that the 2600 men needed to bring
the Twenty-eighth Division to war strength
would be drawn from Penusv. Ivanln's quota
of National Aim men Is strengthened by
the annoumeiiicnt that Brigadier General

ment will pei ink l'onnsslvania draftmen
only to Join the former Pennsjlvanla na

The suggestion that the Philadelphia regi

PRACTICE IN ARTILLERY
PLANNED ON BIG SCALE
No Site Yet Selected But Scheme
Will Be Pushed, Says
Baker
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S. Instruction
in artillery practice Is to be taken up on a
big scale in this tountr.v. according to War
Department plans, In addition to the couise
of tialnlng now being undergone by joung
American officers under French tutelage
In Hurope.
This has been made known by Secretary
of War Baker in response to Inquiries con
cerning tho reports that the department
was planning to establish an artlllcrj
school eomcwheie In the South
Tho Secretary said no site had been se
lected and that he could not say whether
there would be one or more of the schools
What has been done Is that the vailous de
pal tmental commanders have been orderect
to select sites and report upon them In
tho order of their preference. The recom
mendations are duo to be received by Sec
retary Baker on September 30 and shortly
after that date definite plans are expected
to be announced
Reports that Sccietary Baker had re
ceived and declined an invitation by the
French Government to send joung American
officers to France to undergo artlllerj- prac
tice Instruction under French artillery offi
cers are not founded on fact, according to a
statement bj the Secretarj'. In which he said
that the Invitation was received long ago,
quicklj accepted and that large numbets
of young American officers are now attend
ing the French artillery schools. There
was no statement as to the number of artil
lery btudents now In France.
