Plattsburg, n. Y, June 1.-THE pref
erential poll of the New York regiment
of the OMcors' Training Camp on the
arm Of the service with which each man
hopes to fight in France, was completed
to-day. OF the 2,776 New Workers in
the cantonmen. 1,4l9 elected to serve
with the infantry, COS with the field
artillery, 262 the coast artillery, 238
the cavalry, 17S with the engineers and
III with the aviation corps.
These figures represent the personal
preference OF the men only, and not
necessarily the exact manner in which
the regiment will be divided next Sat-
urday, when the camp will be reorgan-
lied so that each arm may pursue It's
own course Of instructions separately.
l; comes close to the official version,
however, for most of the men took
counsel with their regular army in
structors before electing their Sranch
of the service and acted on their advice.
Some Branches Crowded
Whether many of the men who chose
cavalry, coast artillery and engineer
corps will be disappointed depends on
the attitude of the adjutant general.
These three arms were heavily over
subscribed in the New England camp.
The reorganization scheme calls for
only one troop of $50 cavalry, one COM
pany of 100 coast artillery and one COM
pany Of $50 engineers. But after scru-
tinizing the qualifications of the men
who put in for these branches, Major
Edgar T. Collins, commander of the
regiment, recommended that all be ac-
cepted.
