soon ther -after. Arrangements are now
going Oh at the War department with
this c5lect in view. The troops will
MOI be landed OF Savannah or any other
point in the south proper. 1t Is doubt

of Newport News, Va.
The plan now seems to be TO have
them brought ashore al Philadelphia or
nea there and then they will be tran--
ported by rail to Camp Meade, Pa.
This camp will be selected because OF
its high altitude and coo,er climate. A;
