Df the Delaware Regiment OF Infantry,
announced this afternoon that the en-
hre regiment will be moved TO the
State Rifle Range, south of New Castle
on Saturday morning. Company II OF
New Castle has been encamped at the
rife range for about two weeks.
Colonel Reed stated that this pro

the State Armory, Twelfth and Orange
streets. that It was determined best TO
get the regiment into camp as soon
ss possible.
There are now six companies in ad-
dition 20 the Sanitary and Headquar
ters Companies and the regimental
organization at the Armory. Tho com
panies OF the First Battalion have
been stationed there since last spring.
The small quarters make It impos-
sible TO carry out many details for

onel Reed and other officers would
like 10 nut into effect. and II Is
largely because OF his fact that the
