Admission, Ala, where it was incor-
porated with other New Jersey units
into the Hath Regiment and made a
part of the Twenty-ninth Division. The
l14th was placed in the Fifty-seventh
Brigade. under command Of Brigadier
General Laroy 8. Upton, whose wife is
making her home in Cynwyd. near here
General Upton was colonel of the Ninth
Regulars in the terrific fighting south
Of the Soissons early in the American
fighting.
Colonel Thomas b. I.andon, COM
mander of the Third, was placed in
command of the 114th. and remained in
the post until the regiment sailed. when
he was replaced by Lieutenant Colonel
George Buttle. In France. Colonel

depot school of the First American
Army Corps
Made Regiment Efficient
the Bordentown Military Institute, made
the old Third Regiment an efficient or
ganization.
The Hath was assembled at Camp
Mcclellan September 80. 1917, and went
to France late in May, this year. In
the transfer of troops at the camp
Company l. Of Woodbury.. and Company
L. Of Atlaptic City. were taken from the
old Third and put into the 104th Engi-
neers, which probably took part IN the
advance of the regiment.
The publication of Lieutenant How
ards letter and Congressman Browning s
statement caused great anxiety among
Camden families with relatives in the
114th.
Mayor Ellis, Camden, read Howard q
letter when it was received, and since
then has been making every effort to
determine the exact casualties and how
many Camden men fell in the battle.
Il have done everything possible" he
said. ito get to the bottom of the mat
ter and determine the exact casualties
hut 30 far have been unsuccessful.
"I fear the worst and am confident
that the city is hard hit, as Lieutenant
Howard is n very dependable and re-
liablo young man.
While 1t is very apparent that the
city has suffered heavily, am holding
to the hope that when We get to the
official roster Of the regiment, we may
find that many Camden men have been
transferred to other units. and in a
measure will reduce the city's loss.
THE news Is very depressing and I
do not care to make any lengthy COM
ment until l obtain official information.
l am trying to get this information
through Provost Marshal General
Crowder and General March, chief OF
staff"

Treves, Dec. z.
The march of the American Army
of Occupation toward the Rhine con-
tinues without incident. Moving east
ward on a sixty-mile front, the Third
Army yesterday got within twenty
miles of the Rhine River, reaching the
line of Effelsberg, Adenau, Albeck,
Murlenbach, Alfieu. Drels, Aldequip,
Peterswald, Tostanz, Rhaunen and
Hernstein.
In the last two days we have occu-
pied no towns of Importance. Bullay
was the largest place reached. AS
matter of fact. the only two consid-
cradle places On our sector are Treves
and CoblenZ.
Under present plans the first Amerl-
can troops will reach the Rhine on De-
cember 8, when our extreme left VIII

plans call for the Third Army being in
a position astride the Rhine on Decem-
ber -, although a slight delay may be
granted the retiring Germans. who
are having difficulty because of Slip
perry, winding roads.
Roads Are TOrtuOus
We also are having trouble with the
roads. which are very tortuous. There
arc rough hills and wooded terrain,
especially on our left, through the Ar
dennes. and on our right through the

believed to be indicative OF their be-

The population feels it is getting a
s,ood deal from the Americans, and
seems to be perfectly willing to let well
