New York, August 1A-(Special.) )-When the attention of friend of the late C. P. Huntington was called to a statement which told of shipbuilding operations at Newport News he said that had Mir. Huntington lived long enough to know that his prediction respecting the future of Newport News as a shipbuilding cen ter had been fulfilled, he might have taken as much pride in the announce ment as was the case when he was able to look upon the completed Southern Pa cific railroad system In 1883 Newport News was no more than a plain, which ended in a bluff that fronted Hampton Roads. N1r. Huntington with his farsee- level tract would be occupied by many business buildings, as it now is, and that commerce originating a the port of New port News would represent American az riculture and industry and in addition the greatest shipbuilding plant in the United States and the largest dry dock would be there established

These figures lead those of any other southern shipbuilding plant, although Baltimore is close second. At or near Baltimore there are under con struction or contract vessels of the az gregate value of $70, OO0,000
 In fact, the whole Atlantic coast and speedily the gulf coast will become the scene of one colossal shipbuilding ac- tivity. For there is to be-even now is a chain of shipbuilding plants on this coast Within a few months the United States Steel corporation at a place near New York and then again at another place near Mobile will have completed shipbuilding plants one of which may in it's capacity exceed ultimately the great shipbuiiding plant of Newport News.

 "The Eighty4fourth Infantry brigade to comprise the One Hundred and Fifty first machine gun battalion (Companies B, c and F, Second Georgia infantry) One Hundred and Sixty-seventh infan- try CFourth Alabama infantryl, and the One Hundred and Sxty-eighth infantry (Third Iowa infantry)
 "The artillery brigade to be numbered Sixty-seventh, comprises;

ginia. The engineer train will be organ ized from the North Carolina troops The ammunition train will be organized from the Kansas troops and the supply train from the Texas troops. They VII be known, respectively. as the One Hun dred and Seventeenth field battalion, signal troops; the one Hundred and Sev- enteenth headquarters train and military police the, One Hundred and Seventeenth engineer train, the One Hundred ana Seventeenth ammunition train, and the One Hundred and Seventeenth supply train
 SANITARY TRAIN
 "The sanitary train to be known as the One Hundred and Seventeenth sant- tary train, will be comprised of the First. Second. Third and Fourth ambu- lance companies, being respectively, the First ambulance companies of Mlchl- gan, New Jersey, -ennessee and Okla homa; the First, Second, Third and Fourth field hospital companies being respectively the First field hospital com- panies of Nebraska, Colorado, Oregon and the District of Columbia
 Discussion of the time and place of mobilization of the division or of it's departure for France are not per- nissible under the voluntary censor ship. The structure ot the dlVlslon as given in the officers statements show it will conform to the reduced trench warfare divisional organization recom- mended by Major General Pershing, which would give it a total strength with auxiliary troops of approximately 20 GOO men. The two infantry brigade formations. each brigade to be com posed of two regiments, indicates a very large increase in the size of in Ifantry regiments. The fact that nu merical designations have been as signed to the brigades throughout also indicates the adoption of the Flu ropean battalion administrative unit system, although the regimental or ganization of three battalions to q reg iment is retained.
 While no explanation of the req son for forming this composite divi- sion as the first tactical orga anization of the National Guard to be perfecteli since the state troops were drafted into the federal army. it is known that the plan has been indorsed by the gov ernors of virtually all the states. The effect presumably will be to soldify the National Guard and to give the whole country an interest in the divi gion@ which might not be so strong if thC troops from any one state had been used to. form this tactical unit.
