COLORED SOLDIERS
TAKE LONG Hike
March to Church Creek And Back
Returning BY Way o. Old Field


About twenty-five or thirty Of tie
returned colored soldiers got togeth
er last night and to a certain extent
kept themselves in good condition, as
we'll as permitting their friends to
see something of the manner in
which they had trained for their SER
vice overseas.
The men started out from Cam
bridge and marched to Church
Greek, over the State road, making
the trip in an hour and three-quar-
tiers. After a few minutes allowed
for rest, during which time the men
bought drinks, smokes, ETC., they
formed in line and went through
some of their drills, after which they
resumed the hike back to Cambridge,
returning by the way of Old Field.
The march probably covered about
thirteen or fourteen miles, and was
made in excellent time, portion of
it being done double quick"

Ho,p Many Millions?

Admitting that the equipment and
materials which they have to dispose
of Will run into millions, I found the
du Pont officials chary about stating
specifically how many millions.
1--WE haven't list" said one. "At
first it was estimated that it would
take two years to make a complete in
ventory of our stock in the nine mill
tary establishments. We have beat
that figure and in another sixty days
will know pretty we'll precisely what
we have on hand"
was given to understand that even
at the end of sixty days there would
be no statement forthcoming about the
value Of this city which may be likened
to a combination OF Savannah, Bridge
port and Oakland 1t seems that the
system of tax collecting is national
affair or something like that.
Glow long will it take to. dispose
of these properties?"
"In two years we will have sold
everything, lock, stock and barrel" was
the answer.
