the camp caused a furore in the camp
of the Bridgeton infantrymen, but the
took 1T quietly after they
had been advised of their selection by
Capt. Nordine. Most of the troops are
enthusiastic over the early departure,
however.
With this movement all arranged for
steps looking toward the successful
of the main bulk of the divf-
siopa1 organization are going ahead
rapidly. Lieut.. Col. David S. Hill, chier
of the Quartermaster Corps in this
state. has practically arranged every
detail incident to the transportation of
the New Jersey forces south. Train
sch edules have all been worked out and
prepared so that there will be no I'M

are doubled UP or split in sections. The
New Jersey troops will move from al
most a dozen different points.
When this main movement will take
place is still conjectural. but every day
indicates more strongly that it will be
in the very near future. possibly next
week. 1t is thought that the camp will
be practically prepared for the influx of
the main organizations by that time.
