FIRST Delaware
now A memory

CAMP MCCLELLAN. Admission, Ala.
Oct. 11.-Delaware' one regiment OF
infantry and the five New Jersey regi
ments, which have been sent TO this
training cantonment. have been rele-
gated to the pages Of history and are
no more National army reorganiza-
ton plans have literally shot them
to pieces" The Delaware Regiment
has been so badly torn up that the
men are beginning TO wonder II there
wiz be even a whole company OF
them left together.
Colonel J. Warner Reed, VINO
brought the Delaware men here atter
whipping them into shape, has lost
his command and even the company
commanders have been taken away
from their men. Colonel Reed and
the other officers who are now minus
a command will be given places In
other sections Of the new army and
the rank and file will find themselves
under the charge of officers from the
regular army or other States so that
they will be strangers in a strange
land"
( Work of rebuilding the affected
units to conform with the National
/ Army formula has already begun and
within a few days the Delaware IN
fantrymen will be engaged in inten-
sive training on basis which VIII
carry them to the trenches OF Europe
Rumor circulating through the camp
that their stay here Will be brief Is
the only consolation the Delaware
boys find now that Their original or
ganization he's been eliminated.
The Third Regiment of Camden, the
Fifth Regiment Of Paterson. n. j.,
and the First Regiment Of Delaware
have been combined to form the Hath
Regiment of the 57th Brigade, which
will be commanded by Brigadier-
General Charles w. Barber of Tren-
ton, n. ]. Colonel Albert A. Van
Valraven, OF Paterson, will command
this new regiment. Wilmer A. Cad
mus, also of Paterson, will be the
Northumberland.
Major Winfield s. Price, Of Camden
n. j., will be one Of the majors in this
new regiment. The other two majors
in the new Hath regiment will be
Ernest c. Parks, Of Delaware, and Johr
T. Taylor, Of the Fifth New Jersey Reg
lment. Colonel ]. Warner Reed who
has been relieved OF his command Of
the First Delaware Regiment, II is un
derstood. will be assigned to the de
pot brigade.
Divisional headquarters has withheld
the names Of the captains who vii
command the companies Of the new
regiments. but the surplus Of compan!
commanders will also find berths in thu
depot brigade and the various trains
There viii be no lowering Of ranks
neither will there be any promotion
for the Delaware and New Jersey on
GERS. The reorganization OF the unit
began yesterday.
Major Parks selection TO command
one of the battalions in the new iiitl
regiment is highly gratifying to tn
other officers and men Of the First Del
aware Regiment. They were afraid !
the new organization Delaware woul
/ not have any Of the officers in the high
er commands. His selection is taken a
a recognition of his ability and the re
suits Of the training he has had dur
b ing the long years he has been cor
nected with the delaware militia.

therefore, there is no need of any

ished. A way will be found. to solve
the lesser problems also. We will be
a temperate nation. We will have
made such a study Of the necessities
of life that speculation in fOodstuffs
will forever cease. Our courts of JUS
tice will deal out the genuine article.
4 We need men and they are coming
millions strong. We have reached the
point where we no longer believe
that we are too respectable to fight
American boys love to fight for a
just cause. To fight now with all
the vim and vigOr Of our young man
hood will make us beloved Of all the
world. To fail in our duty at this
time is to throw back the advance Of
civilization 1000 years and will make
us the laughing stock of the world.
We would finally be exploited by
some nation which would arise from
this struggle as the world leader.
Don't bother about the volunteer
or CONSUMPTION systems. Get in now
and fight. The leader must act now.
