HARD DRILL IS
MORNING PROGRAM

The Second Battalion, Delaware Ma
tional Guard, resumed hard drill this
morning on Washington Heights, and
according TO Major Parks. In command
of the battalion. the men are making
splendid progress. No orders had been
received this morning. concerning fu-
ture movements Of the troops and in
some quarters II was said that they
may remain In their present quarters
for a month or more This view is
not shared by the majority OF the o1l-
GERS i'm the headquarters company. and
especially by Colonel Reed, who be-
leves that the orders TO cntrain Will
come In the near future. The belief
that the troops Will be ordered TO move
in a few days becomes more pro
nounced with the announcement today
that New Jersey troops have been Or
dered TO depart FOR the cantonment, at
Admission, Ala.
70 was originally announced that the
troops. which were the least comfort
ably quartered would be sent 20 Camp
Mcclellan first, and as most Of the
other troops In the Twenty-ninth De
vision were in camp, was believed
that this would mean that the Della
ware troops would be accorded the
privilege as they are for the most part
quartered in armories. 10 is now be
lieved that the War Department is
purposely holding back the orders for
the Delaware troops TO move. in order
10 give the local recruiting officers
more time in which to nh the regiment
up more closely to war strength. AT
the present time there are about i,i5C
