CAMP DODGE, June Especial to
the Review)-The return from over
seas of the SSth division that was train
ed at this campsis the principal topic
for discussion in military circles here.
Everything has been placed in readi-
ness for the reception of the big army
unit but nobody seems to know just
when and how many soldiers will be
sent here. At first it was supposed
that $4,000 men would be discharged
/ from this cantonment but the railway
officials here 9have received notic!s
that there will be about $4,000.
AS 500 men are handled on train,
this means that they will be brought
to the city and to the camp in "a
trains. .....'s,.
They left in IS trains, but the dis
charge regulations, providing for the
rehabilitation OF the troops at a camp
nearest the home city of the men, more
than cuts this number in half.
The rules provide for rehabilitation
at camp, of all men living within
radius of $50 miles, but as there is no
discharge camp north or west of Camp
Dodge for considerable distance, the
Minnesota and Dakota units and 9TH
ers will be mustered out here.
with war department assurances
that all units of the 88th division will
be permitted q review when they
reach Des Moines, members of Mayor
Fairweather's patriotic committee an
nounced all efforts would now be CEN
tered on getting all the units possible
at the camp at the same time.
1t is believed that at least 10000
men Of the division can be assembled
at the camp for final review without
holding for an undue length Of time
any one unit.
Permission to hold a final review
OF the 8Sth division in Des Moines has
been granted by the war department.
In a telegram to Mayor Fairweather
received recently, Peter B. Harris, ad-
jutant general of the U. s. army, stat
ed all units Of the division are author
: 4xed to participate in tile parade and
reception.
\ The list as designated by General
Harris for review is as follows:
175th infantry brigade headquarters.
349th Infantry. y. ~. - :, ~ =.
337th machine gun battalion.
339th machine gun battalion. ,,.'
33Oth' ammunition train ',' H..

352d infantry.
Headquarters 8Sth division.
Headquarters troop 8Sth division.
Show detachment 8Sth division.
313th train headquarters. .. .
313th supply train.
1t is impossible to determine at this
distance the exact date of the arrival
of the men. A number of ship loads
have reached Atlantic ports and have
been sent to adjacent camps pending
further orders. The coming Of the
men will depend somewhat upon the
ability of the railways to furnish trans
portation facilities. Definite announce
ment will be made in time to prepare
for the big event. .r,..,,. ......l.
