TWENTY Y-EIGHTH
TOGOTOFRANCE
SOON, IS RUMOR
General Opinion at Camp
Hancock Based on Late
Developments

Camp Hancock, Ga. Nov. 2.-The
Twenty eighth Division is soon going
to France, is the opinion Of officers
and men generally at Camp H"n-
cock They say that every develop
ment of the past few days indicates
such a course, especially the denoue-
ment of Friday when the depot prl-
gade and First Regiment cavalry
were abolished to fill up gaps IN
other units of the division.
The rumors were very persistent
at the camp yesterday, so much IN
fact that they seemed to be possessed
of q semblance of truth. General
Price, commander of the division,
when approached on the subject,
however, said that he knew or no
indication of an immediate troop
movement.
Talk around the camp yesterday
concerning the abolishing of the cav
airy and depot brigade flowed freely,
and throughout the division the
deepest regret was manifest that the
organizations should lose their iden-
tity. Men and officers alike, not
not alone in the dismembered regi-
ments, but in infantry brigades and
artillery brigades, were hoping that
the four regiments, the Third, Sixth,
Eighth and Thirteenth might retain
their identity, although part OF the
depot brigade. The order of Friday,
however, destroyed all hope and left
the impressions that another ploW
had been dealt the division.
Especially is this felt regarding the
First City Troop. Feeling ran high

Only $4,000 Tons Of Sugar
Coming From Louisiana

New Orleans, Nov. 2.-Louisiana
planters will not be able to deliver
to the American Sugar Refining
Company much more than half of
the 100000 tons of raw sugar prom
ised at the recent conference at
Washington and with which it had
been hoped speedily to end the sugar
shortage in the east.
1t developed at a conference at
planters and others here to-day that
the recent cold wave caused a de-
cided shortage in the Louisiana crop.
Committees of growers were ap-
pointed for each sugar-producing
parish of the state. with instructions
to go through their districts and OBJ
tain alf possible tenders of sugar.
About $4,000 tons was pledged at to-
days meeting, but it was announced
that the provision of the contract
calling for delivery of $4,000 tons by
November Is could not be carried
out. The price of 6.225 cents agreed
on at the Washington conference was
approved.

of beet sugar from the west is being

regarding its dismembering. The
troop is the oldest organization in
the United States, having been eS-
tablished in 1774. On two occasions
it was the body guard of George
Washington, and since then has been
the honor guard for several Presi-
dents. of the country. To destroy an
outfit with such traditions is
throughout the camp generally con-
sidered a most ruthless act.
The First City Troop is at present
at the remount station, and 1t was
rumored yesterday that the troop
would retain it's identity, remaining
on duty at the remount station.
Nothing official regarding the mat
ter, however, has been given out.
The cavalrymen, aside from the
First City Troop, regret the fact that
their regiment is to be broken up
and that they are to be transferred
from their chosen branch of the
Army. They are bearing the ordeal
stoically, however, and yesterday
many of the men made application
for transfer to home units. This Is
especially true of Troop II, of Pitts
burg, which, it is understood, has ap-
piled bodily for transfer to the 1O7th
Field Artillery, another pittsburgh
unit.

evening made an appeal to all amateur
gardeners who have not filled out the
blanks recently distributed to do SO by
June 30.
If YOU are cultivatng garden in Wash
ington and You did not receive one of the
blanks, write to the office OF markets of

with one
A statement from the department in
regard to the blanks says:
TO find out approximately how much
food the home gardeners Of the large cities
will produce this year and to ascertain
how it will affect the commercial market
movement, the office of markets is plan
ming to keep in close touch with the gar
den movement in certain cities where the
local marketing problems are most acute
The gardeners will be asked the size OF
the plots they are tending, what products
they are raising, how much they expect
to market and similar questions. With
this information available the specialists
can better advise regarding truck mar
keting operations in the centers Of popu-
lation
washington is the first city to be
canvassed. The success of the census
here will determine it's effectiveness in
getting the information in other cities.
1t is estimated that there are between
1000 and 5000 home gardens in Wash
ington. Eleven hundred have been reg
istered so far.
Let the government know what you
are doing in your back yard. Register
your home garden by June 30
> Gardeners are warned, in another
statement from the department, not to
plant imported beans. Certain ship
ments of beans from the orient, known
as Burma or Rangoon beans. have come
into this country from Canada. They
closely resemble the navy bean, but
they may be distinguished by their
light yelloWiSh color and the fine ra-
dating lines passing out from the hi
lum or eye. They are pole beans of
the lima type, but are of tropical orr
gin and will not mature in this vicinity.
Port and border laboratories of the
