more projects. A splendid presenta-

meet at later date at the call Of the
chairmen to outline the general plan
Of the reception, which it is said will
be on pretty large scale--some pee
pie being Of the opinion to the con-

Sail Before August.
The reception, Il ii understood,
will net take place until otter practi-
cally all the boys who went overseas
are at home, and tais is largely con-
ticgeRt upon the arrival of Battery

before August. Plans Of the general
staff announced Tuesday by Brig
Gen. James w, McAndrew, chief Of
staff, and covering divisions that will
be reformed from France during

March 18th.
However, in letter to Senator
Shields, Adjutant-General Harris
says:
"No word has yet been received
as to the sailing dates of the trans
ports which will bring the 30th divis
ion over. The tentative plan wa.
that they should sail by February 20
but there has been delay on account
Of lack of ships. The best indication
of the sailing time is the tip that the
3Oth viii come directly after tn,
9th division. The 9th is scheduled
to sail from Brest on March 4th, 5tl
