Transfer of Troops Rumorcd
There was much concern to-day over
a dispatch from Spartanburg to the cf-
feet tha. Camp Upton is to be drawn
on for troops to build up an additional
army division at Camp Wadsworth.
Both officers and men said they be-
lieved such plan would work consid
erably against the divisional spirit
which has developed in New York
City's own division of the National
Army here.
High officers. in declaring that Camp
Upton's working spirit and measure OF
country, said that If this division is
in any way materially broken up by
strong drafts made upon it to furnish
men for other divisions the 77th may
be so seriously affected as to lose its
identity as the metropolitan tactical
unit.
They also pointed out that in the
making of the new British land forces
great care was taken not to interfere
with the old custom of the British
army holding intact district units so
that countless British regiments went
over the top with their own townsmen
or men from their own counties. New
York's National Army Division, as one
pcrpetuated as such as has been the
London division Of the British army.
1t is suggested here that it would be
better to organize such division with
new troops unattached rather than dis.
1upt an existing division as well organ
lied and as highly trained as the New
York National Army Division. At any
rate the general opinion in this canton.
ment seems to be that in view of the
fact that the special course Of train
ing here will have been completed il
q few weeks, this division should be
sent abroad at the earliest possible
moment.
