Philadelphian Takes Charge
of Camp During Absence
of Gen. Weigel

Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ca, April
Brigadier General William G. Price,
Jr., is again in command of the twenty
eighth division cncamped at Camp Ham
cock. He assumed command yesterday
upon the departure of Brigadier Gem
eral William Weigel, who has been
called away on official business.
General Weigel assumed command
only last Sunday upon the departure OF
Major General Charles II. Muir. The
rapid change i'm commanders during the
last week is looked upon as significant
of something by officers and men alike
throughout the camp.
General Price is commander of the
fifty-thiTd artillery brigade and was I'm

General Charles M Clement. Genera

General Price Is a most popular gen,

strategist Of marked ability and is held
in the highest regard throughout tho
division. He Is being warmly Congratu-
lated on again assuming command OF
the division. General Price is Phila'
delphian, and is the only general Of tho
old Pennsylvania National Guard who
has survived the rigid tests imposed 10y

Brigadier General William Weige
may lead the Twenty-eighth Division in
France, according to the officers al

officer. and should he take command OF

Whether tho War Department thinks 50
