Y CAMP HANCOCK, Augusta. Ga, Sept. 4.
The State railroad commission has APP
pointed a special commission to investigate
conditions at Camp Hancock.
A tentative solution of the transporta-
tion problem between Camp Hancock and
Augusta was obtained yesterday at con-
ference between members of the Board of
Commerce and General Manager Wicker
sham, of the Georgia Railroad
The Board of Commerce for the last two
weeks had been urging officials OF the rail-
road to run shuttle trains between the camp
and the city. This would necessitate the
laying of spur track. At the conference
yesterday. Mr.. Wickersham said the com
pany would lay the track and operate
shuttle trains on certain days of the week
II the war board at Washington would per-
NIT the company to withdraw freight cars
from commercial business for the transpor-
tation of troops. D.
MAKES OFFER OF IMPROVEMENT
Mr. wickersham told the. members OF the
board that ifSsuch cars could be WITHDRAWN
from ordinary service, they will be fitted up
as comfortably as possible for the troops
to ride in. The camp is about five miles
from the city and the running time would be
short. A charge of twenty-five cents per
trip would be made.
Merchants. feel confident the company
will be given permission to use the freight
cars for the transportation of troops.
Company Il. Engineers, OF Philadelphia,
arrived in camp last night
They found quarters in good shape.
Equipment was quickly unloaded with the
aid Of the motor supply train. The men
slept last night in their mess shaciis. They
will put UP their canvas today. Starting
today the engineers will begin to map out
the camp and locate favorable terrain for
trenches.
OTHER ORDERS EXPECTED
It is believed by officers of the staff that
orders will be issued in the next day or so
for the movement of the Tenth. Sixteenth
and Eighteenth Infantry Regiments
The Eighteenth Regiment is the largest
single unit of the entire division and il the
only regiment which has a machine-gun
company. It's personnel numbers 1000 men.
1t has been definitely established that
there will be a machine-gun battalion in
each brigade after reorganization of the
division is effected.
