marched He said. From my observation 1 think
the march in was exceptionally well done The
men kept soldierly appearance and the distances
between companies and between divisions were
correct. I especially impressed by the condi-
ton Of the wagon train The wagons were so
evenly loaded that might have thought that
one was loaded first and the others took it for
model. One point that the general emphasized
the total lack of undue haste.
/ The 6Sth Regiment left State Camp 80 this
afternoon. The rain had begun then, but the men
did not mind it. Their wagon train OF fourteen
army wagons took shorter route than the regu-
lar one, but the men marched by the old route

Peter De Lacey said yesterday that he had
quit poolselling in Park Row, not because he
