 ID ANN|STON CAMP
Troops Stationed There Will Be Given Training in Actual Trench
 Work Soon

Anniston, September 14.-(SpecialO No definite announcement has been communicated as yet by the war de partment with reference to the final organization of the troops stationed at Camp George B. Mcclellan, but this announcement is expected soon and practice is now under way along lines of the expected orders, according to a statement made by Maj. R. E. Kel- ley, inspector on the staff of Maj Gen Charles G. Morton, camp commander in an address before the Anniston Chamber of Commerce Friday after noon It is known that General Nor tons division will consist of one ma chine gun battalion, two infantry bri. gades, one field artillery brigade, field signal battalion, an engineering regiment, ammunition and supply trains, a sanitary. mechanieal and oth- CT minor commands. In fact. even mu. sicians will be trained here
 Major Kelley announced that i0, ,000 900 rounds of rifle ammunition and hundreds of thousands of rounds of artillery ammunition will be used in the practices here. He also said trained men from Fort Sill together with French and English officers, are expected here before long to give spe- cial instruction in trench warfare, bayonet fighting, use of gas, hand grenades, trench mortar guns, artillery curtain fire etc.
 Tn view of the magazine reports pub lished frequently, Major Kelley made the rather surprising statement that the latest bulletins on the world war show that only II men out of a thousand are killed annually in the fighting on the various fronts, and that only one out of every 600 loses a limb and 90 per cent of the wound ed being able to return to the front.
 CAVALRY UNCERTAIN

B, c and D, are won dering what Is going to happen to their respective units So many ru- mors have been flying around the camp for two or three days that they are not sure whether they will Dc turned into artillerymen, assigned to military police service or go into the machine gun corps.
 One thing is certain, however and that is that some of them will have artillery drilling for the next few eight hours of their time every day
