CALL FOR NEGROES PUT OFF.
South Cardinals Colored Troops Will
Be Trained Later at Columbia.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Negro
troops of the National Army will be
organized in separate unites as IN
done in the regular army, and as far
as possible, will be trained in the
State where they are raised.
The call for negroes to mobilize
at their camps will be postponed to
allow the officers at the camp to ar
range for the organization of these
separate units. Both white men and
negroes of the selective draft forces
will be given an opportunity to volun-
teer for service in the battallons OF
troops for service on the lines OF
communication, their work being
military, but not combatant. How
ever, there will be negro fighting
regiments for the National Army as
there are of the regulars and the
National Guard.
Baker Outlines Policy.
Secretary Baker outlined this poll
CIV of the war department today in a
statement dealing with the method
to be followed in the organization
and training of negroes, liable to
draft under the National Army act.
Presumably the negro regiments OF
the regular army and the National
Guard will be retained as they are
as fighting units. The statement
follows:
s'The rule of the regular army gov
erning the training and organization
of colored troops will be followed in
the National Army and they will be
assembled and trained as separate
organizations.
''This call for the colored men to
mobilize will be postponed until one
of the latter calls, so that they will
be called to camp at a separate time
giving an opportunity for the OFF,
GERS at the camp to assemble the or
ganizations of which they are part
at one time. They will not be called
last, although they will be included
in one of the latter calls.
Go to Cantonments.
Cali colored troops called IN
State which has cantonment in II
will be trained there. Provisions viii
be made, but has not yet been made
for the assembling from those States
which have no cantonments of thlel
auotoas of colored soldiers for'::train
ing.
opportunity will be given to botf
the white and colored troops OF the
selective draft forces to volunteer II
certain lines of communication forces
which it will be necessary to organize
and it is hoped that an adequate
number will volunteer for this mill
tary, but noncombatant service. Bu
there will be both combatant an(
non combatant colored regiments.
