and Camp Lee; and at Camp Pike, after it's white quota has been trans ferred to the National Guard, and Camp Jackson. there will be formed national army divisions made up of surplus white men drawn from Camps. Sherman, Custer. Grant. Fay Tor. Dodge, Funston and Travis.
 Plan Different
 This pima, though somewhat diff ferent from the one originally adopt ed by the war department of forming complete national army division composed exclusively of men from each of the 16 national army areas, is in full compliance with the spirit of the law of May IS, because under it each white national army division still represents a distinct geograph- ical area, the one at Camp Jackson being made up entirely from the white men of the extreme southern states, the one at Camp Gordon be- ing made up entirely from the surplus white men of the extreme eastern states. and the one at Camp Pike be- ing made up entirely from the sur plus white men from the middle west ern section. On the other hand, the colored division will be made up of representatives from every part of the nation and will be truly national division.
 Also under this plan it is possible to fill each National Guard division with men drawn from the same geo. graphical area from which the Ma tional Guard division is drawn"
 New Division Added

It will be mobilized as a division only when ordered to France for duty. The force will be the largest fighting unit of negro troops in the army, and the majority of it's officers will come from the ne. gro officers training camp at Des Moines, Ia.
 The division will take in nearly 30,- 900 of the S3,O0O negroes registered under the draft law. There will be organized in addition, however, serv- ice units for work behind the lines Orders were published today author izing "A of these, to be raised by vol untary transfer of drafted men or vol untary enlistment from civil life.
