THE FIRST TENNESSEE
INFANTRY PASSES OUT
All CAMP SEWER, GREENviLLE,
S. c. MILITARY UNITS ARE
REASSiGNED.
More Men Are Needed and Officers
Are Anxious to Recruit 200 Ad-
diticnal Members for
Regiment.

Camp Sewer, Greenville, S. C.--The
First Tennessee infantry, long famed
in the annals of Tennessee, is no
mdre. Likewise the newly formed Sec
ona Tennessee infantry has passed
out of existence, and the cavalry or
CARNATIONS from the Volunteer State
have been converted into machine
gun companies. The First Tennessee
win be changed into remnant of
heavy artillery, while large part of
the Second Tennessee has been
merged into the present Third Ten
nessee battery. Such part of the Sec
ond as is not needed to fill out a
regulation infantry regiment will be
used in depot brigade.
kll of these changes were an
nohnced by the authorities of the
thirtieth division, which occupies
Camp SEWER, and went into effect at
once The organization which the
First Tennessee enters is known as
the Fifty-fifth artillery brigade of the
United States, and is composed of the
First infantry, the First Tennessee
field artillery and the First North
Carolina field artillery. The First
Tennessee infantry will hereafter be
known as the 18th artillery of the
United States, while the First Tenaes-
see field artillery becomes the Hath
3tillery. The Third Tennessee has
een designated as the 117th infan-
E. The present Tennessee field ar
Illery will be given light gurs, while
the First Tennessee infantry has been
called upon to man the heavy six-inch
guns OF the brigade.
The machine gun company of the
First Tennessee infantry will be sepa-
rated from that regiment when it be-
comes artillery and will become part
OF the machine gun organization of
the Thirtieth division. They will prob
ably go to the firing line, however, at
the same time as their comrades of
the First, as it is expected that they
will be attached to the Fify-fifth ar
tillery brigade. Gen. George G. Ga
| ley will be in command of the newly
formed artillery brigade.
The present strength of the First
Tennessee, leaving out the machine
gun company, is about 1900. This
means that about 200 men will have
to be added to the regiment to fill it
alt tot the required artillery strength.
n NY Officers Of the First are exceed
\ i1gy anxious that these men be re-
crrited from Tennessee. Only men
with some experience as mechanics,
radio operators, electricians, aviators
and balloonists will be accepted, how.
