CONCERNED ABOUT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
CAMP MCCLELLAN, ANNIsTON. Ala
bama, Oct. i0.-Arriving here on sun
day from their mobilization camp, near
New Castle and overioyed to know
that they were at last in their train
ing cantonment, from which they
knew 1t was but a step TO the trenches
in France, the officers and men of the
First Delaware Infantry are about as
blue and defunct lot Of men as could
be found anywhere and all because
they are being torn asunder and their
members scattered broadcast through
the several other commands in camp.
They had hoped, and in fact had been
given practical assurance, that their
one regiment OF infantry would be
kept intact under the new army reor-
ganization plans and they had come
south in the belief that they were going
10 retain their officers and that the
several companies would not be split
up.
They have had a rude awakening to
a realization Of the sternness Of mill
tary discipline. The first move in the
dismemberment operation was made
yesterday, when the machine gun COM
pany with its seventy men. was trans
ferred TO the machine gun battalion.
Companies X, l. and NJ have been made
TO give up 40 each TO the same battal-
ION. Captain David NJ. Salter, Of Will
