division, about $500 coming from
Virginia Advices from Washington in

white selected men to make up the

The colored troops will be assigned
to three separate units, one of which
will be a provisional regiment. the
other two being known as service bat
talions and numbered sos and SOC, re-
spectivcly. These commands will be
made up entirely Of negroes, with COM
missioned officers, 1t is understood, with
the rank as high as captain. All
higher officers will be white, although
II is believed that many officers Of
lesser rank will be assigned to duty
with the provisional regiment and
service battalions.

northeastern part of the cantonment

DEPENDENT RELATIVES
NOT CAUSE FOR RELIEF
On account OF the recent law passed
by Congress-, which makes allotment
provision for families OF men who are
serving in the armed forces of the
country, no man in camp here will be
relieved from military service on the
dependent relative clause unless in
vestigation of the case shows that
there is actual suffering resulting from
his absence from his family. 1t was
ruled to-day. Under the new law. fam
lily allowances are made while the SOL
dier is serving, there is also compensa-
tion In case Of injury or death and u
further protection offered through the
low-rate government insurance.
Allotments to families are compul-
sorry under the new act OF Congress
the law stipulating the amount to be
allotted, according to the size of the
family. For every dollar the soldier
aliots the government adds like
amount, which has led to tho belief
that in most eases tho amount that
will thus be available for the use of

Maybe it's because he amt done it for

they had him almost pulled out of the
