GENERAL SALE BACK
FROM WASHINGTON
Is Vet without Official Notice of Date
On Which Virginians Will
Entrain at Border.

General w. w. Sale returned to his
Office yesterday morning from Wash
ington. and began his plans for the
handling of the First Regiment, which
is expected to arrive in Richmond
about January /. The only informa-
ton as yet received by the adjutant-
general is unofficial. and 1t is pos
sible that the date set for the en-
trainment Of the troops may be
changed. For this reason. until he
has official notification that Deem
Der n Is the day set for the move
ment Of the troops home. he will
proceed cautiously with his plans. and
make only tentative ones.
The War Department has been
queried by General Sale as to wheth-
er they will send an officer here. to
handle the transfer and transporta-
ton OF the troops, or If he shall ap-
point one Of the local officers for this
duty. 1t is probable that Major AL
len Potts, quartermaster, will be CIV
en- charge of the troops on their ar
rival but this is a question to be de-
cided by the War Department.
General Sale now plans to quarter
the troops, which will number about
900, in the Grays' and Blues Armo-
by contract, and would cost about
seventy-flv cents a day for each man,
it Is stated. If these two armories
are insufficient to care for all of the
troops, the Howitzers Armory would
be brought into use. General Sale
has advised the department that his
facilities here are ample for caring
for the troops. and there is hardly any
doubt that the War Department Will
accept General Sales original sugges-
lion Of having all OF the troops sent
to Richmond for muster out.
1t IL estimated that 1t will require
about two weeks after the troops ar
rive In the city to muster them out
complete all transfer Of property for
malities, conduct the medical exami-
nations and the various other items
incident to returning the troops to
the National Guard service. 1t has
been pointed out that the medica1
examinations are very important. due
to the fact that It Is in this way tina,
the government will protect ITSELF
from all future claims for pensions
for injuries, or illnesses claimed &c
have grown out from the service or
the border.

any other company. was never dis
cussed or ever suggested. 1t IL be-
lieved that the only matter considered
at this meeting was related to the
dividends on the stock OF the com
pany.
The stock owned by Virginia In the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Railroad Company was voted to
the sinking fund of the State. the d.
vidends to be used for the redemption
of Virginia bonds. This stock brings
to the fund an annual dividend of
more than $4,000. and In proportion
to the amount of money originally In
vested In the stock. 10 An extremely
profitable holding.
The board Of sinking fund commits
sioners. composed of the Second Audi
tor Roosevelt Page. State Treasurer
Hartman and State Auditor c. Lee
Moore, has consistently opposed the
sale Of the stock. In 1919 a bill waa
offered in tho General Assembly au-
thorixing their sale. but 1t was prompt
ly defeated.

REMINGTON COMPANY
HAS JOBS FOR. MEN
Notifies General Sale win Provide For
Amy Guardsunen Who May Be
Out Of Work.

The Remington Arms Company. OF
Eddystone. Conn. have advised Gen.
eral sale that they will have positions
waiting in their plant for any men,
bers Of the National Guard. who, on
their return to Virginia, find them
selves without employment. The let
ter to General Sale suggested that all
members Of the Virginia organizations
desiring employment communicate
with the company promptly on their
return.
While this information will be val
liable. perhaps. to members OF the
National Guard elsewhere, It Is not
believed that any of the Richmond
boys will lose their positions on &C
count OF answering the President,
call for oervice on the border. 1t Il
expected when the troops return that
they will all be rsinstatsd by en-
ployers of this city in the capacities
formerly filled by them. For this rea-
SON, the offer Of the Remington Arms
Company will not likely have results
in Richmond.
