NEGRO nationals
IN SERVICE SOON
States Contingent of I42
Will Go 10 Wrightstown
Early in October
BARRACKS NOT
READY FOR MEN

With fhe departure Of this city's Ma
tional Army men yesterday there has
been much speculation as to what is to
be done with the Negroes who were
called In the draft, when they are TO
go away and where they are to be sent
and how many OF them are TO go from
Wilmington 10 was learned today that
the Negroes called in the draft will go
to Camp Dix, Wrightstown, n. j., the
same cantonment TO which the white
men have been sent
The reason that the Negroes have
not been sent away as yet is due to the
fact that the barracks In which they
are to live have not been completed.
They were scheduled 10 go yesterday
with the white contingents, but II was
found at the last minute that there was
no place TO put them after they got
there. The Negroes viii have sepa-
rate barracks. but they cannot be sent
10 Camp Dix until these houses have
! been made ready for them.
However, Wilmington's contingent
/ OF Negro Nationals will leave here
on October 3 or October 5. There
will be 142 men in the call as issued
/ for next month. They are divided
as follows: Board No. 1. AZ men;
/ Board No. 2. 33 men; Board No g.
10 men; Board No. 4, So men. Total
142.
! II the barracks for the Negroes are
not ready for their reception next
month when this city and State as
well as other States are expected to
send another 40 per cent. OF their
draft quota, then IL will be impos-
sible for the local boards to forward
their complete quota for the Negroes
are included in the number that goes
10 make up the next 40 per cent oi
these boards. Just what Will b6
done in this contingency has not beer
determined, but Il is expected all OF
the white men in the quota will bS
sent and the Negroes held pending
the time when their barracks will bI
ready for them.
The Negroes as listed above have re
ceived their green cards which hav
notified them 10 hold themselves 4
readiness for a further notice 20 b
ready 10 move within twenty-fou
hours. There have been many NegrOe

No ORDER YET
TO DISMEMBER
lST. Delaware
RegimentaI Officers Hopeful
That War Department
Won't Slash
MEN TRAIN we'll While
AWAITING ORDER TO MOVE

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL
CAMP TOWNSEND, STATE RIFLiB
RANGE, Sept. 20.-Leisure moments
are few and far between for officers
and men alike here in the training
camp Of the First Delaware Infantry,
but when there canes a lull in the
daily grind at night after mess and
until taps sound. a period generally
given over 10 the soldiers for recre-
alton, the one subject of conversation
is the threatened dismambermeLt Of
the regiment under tho reorganiza-
ton plans Of the Twenty-ninth Divi-
sion, 10 which Delaware has been as
signed.
To date nothing authoritative has
been received here by Colonel J.
Warner Reed, the commanding Off
Ger. relative TO the plan. Absence OF
any definite orders or instructions,
therefore. has. given birth to the hope
that after all, the Delaware men will
not be separated and that the regi-
ment will eventually reach the front
intact so that the fighting men Of
the Diamond State will have had
gratified their wish that they be per
mitted to go away together.
Speculation Is rife and all kinds OF
rumOrs are In circulation, some OF them
OF the widest kind and others border
Ing on the ridiculous. II Is understood,
however, upon good authority that
there Is now hope that the Delaware
regiment will not be dlsmemebered
AS is well known to the officers and
men here and TO those familiar with
military affairs, the regiment, as at
present constituted would make only
about two battalions II organized or
war basis under the new plans OF IN,
War Department for creating fghtinI
units In accordance with the French
army plan. This plan comprises 25
men TO a company. which is the siz
OF the companies the War Department
Is going 10 have IN its new armies.
II Is now the belief fhat Delaware
regiment will be made over on thi
new war basis and therefore convertel
into two battalions Of four companie
each, the companies to be made up o
25O men each. To these two battalion
will be added another separate battal
ion from New Jersey or the District o
Columbia TO comprise four companie
OF 25O men TO a company. This woul
then make up a complete regiment O
three battaliOns, each Of them al wa
strength and with Delaware having IN
majority, It would be known as IN
First Delaware Infantry with its bat
TALON number as assigned 20 it b
