CAMP DIX. n. j.. July S.-Onlcers a
well as men spent busy day In cam
/ yesterday as there were many detail
10 be hooked after before being mus
| tered out Ear yesterday Afternoon
the men were moved from the barracks
they had occupied since arriving from
liob0ken early sunday morning 90 bar
racks near the place where they are
being mustered out today. Early last
evening Lieutcnant-COloncl Ellison with
several other officers made an inspec-
ton Of the barracks vacated by the
men. The Delaware OUTFIT when IN
Camp Dix last summer had the reputa-
ton Of maintaining the best barracks
as 90 cleanliness In the entire camp.
The vlrious company commanders
were busy most Of yesterday getting
the company equipment ready TO turn
over to the government. Both officers
and meh had. great deal OF personal
packing 90 attend 20 and arranging 10
get their trunks aud belongings shipped
home. All have a large number OF SOU
vcnirs that had TO be packed for ship
mcnt
The actual mastering out requires
but a short time. The men are paid OF
and then turn in their old clothing for
which new clothes are issued them.
They then receive their discharge pa
pers which puts them back into the
class OF civilians. Most Of tue Incn
were given their final physical exam
lnatiOn yesterday.
The men were extremely happy In
their work Of getting ready 10 leave
camp for their homes The weather
was ideal and much more comfortable
in camp than It had been since their
retprn. All Of them seemed 20 have
planned what they are going TO do for
al least a week or so before returning
10 their old Jobs or new one that they
m1y get. Part OF all these plans. how
ever. is a determination TO spend the
first few days at their homes as they
figure they will be busy for a time
questions and telling their
families and friends OF their varied ex-
pcriences in France.
The fine physical condition OF the
men is something that every officer and
Major William Marshall. Jr
chief medical officer. and his assistants
are proud OF. While several ~ thi
men were slightly indsposed, largely
due to the reaction following the triI
across the water. IL Is thought all vii
be able to leave camp to0ay or tomor
row.
Many Men Re-enlist.
While many such expressions Al
"only one more day until we are hom'
and "Never Again" could be hearl
around camp yesterday while the mel
were packing up preparatory TO leave
there is a fascination in the army lif'
that many OF them cannot resist Tlli
was proved yesterday when about ~
men OF the Delaware Pioneers re-en-
listed for one year.
The army is making a hard drive Tor
recruits at the camp and a large num-
Der OF the boys went to the rccruitins
