Further Removals
Slated at Hancock
Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga.. Dec.
18.—While reorganization of the units
of the Twenty-eighth Division is vir
i tually completed, another reorganiza
tion is foreshadowed in a report of
! the removal of certain elderly com
manders of the division to be replac
ed by younger men. Many generals,
colonels ana subordinate officers are
slated for retirement. It is explain
! Ed that men of youth are needed to
withstand the hardships of the cam
paign. No reflection will be cast upon
the men removed, among whom will
be officers of high rank in the Penn
sylvania National Guard.
"Jim Jeffries tried to "come back','
said one of the officers connected
with the administration of the di
vision, "but failed. It is no use ot
these men trying to 'come back' for
i they cannot. This is a young man's
j war and the young men have to be
depended upon to light it."
| General officers in this division
| have been expecting action of this
j kind for some time. Whether any ol
them will resign in anticipation ot
! removal is not known.
