OkAAAP DOu6S, 4O"es1 WV HSOs-
An order last week from the
war department for the distri-
button of $4,000 men from
Camp Dodge to other military
centers greatly disturbed the
men here. They were getting
settled in good. form when the
order broke in upon them. The
uncertainty as to whom would
be taken created considerable
interest. Many of the men seat
word to the home folks that this
may be their last week here and
the result was that thousands of
visitors came to the camp Sat-
urday and Sunday from every
state represented at the canton
ment. Along with this order
came another asking for 1,6OO
men to be selected for the avi-
alton service. Just what dlspo-
sition will be made of them is
not given out. 1t is rumored
that an aviation training camp
may be located here but this IS
not likely as winter would inter-
fere with practical results. The
orders now held at division head
quarters call for 5000 selected
men from Iowa, Minnesota and
North Dakota to be sent to
Camp Cody, Deming N. NJ, pre-
sumably to bring national guard
organizations of their respective
states to war strength. One
thousand men, the orders say,
are to be sent to Camp Logan,
Houston. Texas, from among
the recruits reporting from Illi-
nois to fill the states national
guard organizations to war
strength. An additional 5000
recruits also will be sent to
Camp Pike, near Little Rock,
Ark, in furtherance of the de-
partment's recently announced
intention of forming a division
of the national army there. The
depot brigade as a part Of the
national army division is an en-
tirely new organization in Amer
ican military affairs. It has no
set strength. It is maintained
as a unit in which surplus num-
bers of men wait or are assigned
pending their transfer to the ac-
tual fighting organizations such
as the infantry, artillery or 9TH
er units. There are 5000 men
in this division. The total num-
ber of men selected for service
with the eighth division
minus the reflections because of
physical inferiority, will be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 re-
cruits. Two hundred and fifty
one enlisted men Of the coast ar
tillery service arrived at Camp
Dodge Saturday morning under
command ofnoncommissioned Of
ficers. The orders calling for the
mobilization at Camp Dodge Of
negroes from Alabama as well
as from the states included in
the thirteenth district does not
mean that there will be a pre-
ponderance of negro soldiers at
the camp. After all transfers
are made, the enlisted strength

 Members of the club are not re- stricted as to the number of guests each may bring, and university men in Phoenix, whether members of the club or not, have been invited to communicate with the club for the purpose of reserving plates for the dinner and seats at the theater.
 V. O. Wallingford, secretary of the club, announces that a discrepancy occurred in the announcement sent to members, relative to the dates and requests that reservations for the dinner be made in time to en- able the committee in charge to make the necessary arrangements.

 In order to allay such apprehension, the department states that no moneys on deposit in banks or otherwise, whether belonging to American citi- zens or to citizens or subjects of Germany, or to citizens or subjects of any other country, will be either seized or conscripted by the federal government, and any rumors or sug- gestions to that effect are utterly without foundation, and are made either in ignorance of the facts, or by some enemy of the country, and should be drowned on by all good people.
 A. Mitchell Palmer. alien property custodian, has issued the following statement:
 Some misapprehension seems to exist relative to the status under the Trading with the enemy act, of citizens or subjects of Germany and it's allies. Resident within this coun- try such persons are not included within the term "enemy" or ally of enemy" as employed in the act The moneys on deposit in banks in this country belonging to such per sons are not liable to seizure by the government and will not therefor be taken into the possession of the alien property custodian.
