N, Y. He comes to Harrlsburg rroin
Camp Devens, Mass., following the
demobilization of the 73d Infantry
in February. Ho had been in charge
of the organization and training of
this unit.
Colonel Kemper has had consider
able experience in recruiting work,
having been connected with that
branch of military work in Chicago
for three years. Major Shipp has
been sent here from West Point,
N. Y„ where he had been serving as
an Instructor of the cadets.
Eight men aer included in the re
cruiting party and others will be
added later. Most of the men have
had experience in tecruiting work
In this district and have been sent
here from Columbus Barracks, Ohio.
Included on the recruiting staff is
Sergeant R. A. Young, a member of
the recruiting sta in this city until
slightly more than a year ago when
he was commissioned a first lieuten
ant in the Quartermaster Corps. He
was offered a first lieutenant's com
mission in the same branch in the
regular army, but declined it to re
turn to this city to again take up re
cruiting work.
Additional non-commissioned of
ficers are need for the recruiting
work. Colonel Kemper said to-day.
He especially desires men holding
such rank who have been discharged
from teh military service with a
character rating of excellent.
The entire Harrlsburg district will
again be opened up and stations lo
cated in practically every city that
had them before tho order to cense
enlistment came last August. Twenty

may be accepted for original enlist
ment. The age limit is 55 years for
enlistments for the staff crops and

At present all authorized colored

no additional men will be enlisted for
them.
The length of enlistments will be
for one and three years, but men en
listed for the one-year period must
have had previous military experi
ence in the regular army or during
the war. Special effoits will be made
to induce men to enlist for a period
of three years. Most of these will be
assigned for overseas units as re
placement troops, to relieve some of
the men now serving in foreign
territory.
Men desiring to enlist in the motor
transport corps, tank corps or air
service must first enlist In (he In
fantry fo rassignment later, rules
furnished to Colonel Kemper show.
This Is made necessary because of
the fact that no provisions for these

Relative to furloughs for men woh
re-enlist, regulations provide that
those who re-enlist on the day fol
lowing ..discharge will be granted a

Mr. Krcider's letter to Mr. Iler
shey is as follows:
In further reference to the
survey of the Susquehanna river,
the appropriation for which was
carried in the riveis and harbors
bill, would say that the Presi
dent signed this bill on Sunday
and it is now a law.
Yesterday afternoon, in com
pany with Congressman W. \V.
Greist, and Congressman J.
Hampton Moore, 1 visited the
chief of the bureau of engineers,
in the War Department, Brig
adier General llurvey Taylor,
who will have charge of this
work. He informed us that this
work would be placed in charge
of t.'olonel J. P. Gervey, whose
address is in the Old -Federal
building, Wilmington, Del.
General Taylor said that the
assignment would be made in
the very near futuic, possibly in
the course of ten days. 1 would
suggest that as soon as the as
signment is made, that our com
utee get in touch with Colonel
Gervey and furnish him with
such information as we may pos
sess. It is my judgment that Cpl
onel Gervey will receive instruc
tions to go ahead with the sur
vey, which he will unquestion
ably follow.
This I believe is about all we
can do for the time being, except
to furnish such information as
he may desire.
With best wishes, I am.
