different.
Maj. Gen. NJ. J. Snow, when asked
as to what would be done at Column

The department expects to keep
Camp Jackson as Il center for field
artillery training. The new land
which has recently been acquired
will be kept. There is no reason at
this time to expect that it will be Civ

March said nothing. but from other
sources it is unofficially learned that
the camp will probably be reduced to
something like 10000 men and remain
as a permanent artillery camp.
