drcd. Il IS stated on very good author
itv that Gen. Brooke. gen. Wade ana
others at Chickamauga park had rec
commended - the war department thar
no troops be removed from lhicjSa-
manga until the date ~ the departure
Of an invading expedition is fixed
Transports they think can oc loaded
with supplies and ammunition IN al
vance Then with just time enough
TO make the journey the troops
| can be moved directly from the camp
to the ports and marched n once fully
| equipped on ship board. The general
| suggests that this Is better way than
| to move the troops 20 the gulf, camp
| them again and hold them until the
| expedition is ready TO start They he
| licye q higher degree OF efficiency can

| While nothing has been determined on
this point il Is "a matter that Is being
very generally discussed among war
department authorities aud leading
members of the military committees
Of congress. II IS realized that II VIII
: be better to err on the side Of having
: too many men rather than too few,
and as few national guardsmcn could
be expected 20 respond under Ii third
! call. the men would require longer
1 training than those who responded 70
the first and second calls before they
- would be ready to take the field
