GEN. SCH|NDE[ TAKES

Succeeds Gen. Carter, Who Goes
to Washington-11th Division
Departs in Less Than Month.

Maj. Gen. Jesse Mel. Carter. COM
mander of the 11th. or Lafayette. Di-
vision, bade goodbye to Meade Friday
afternoon, after completing the demo-
bilization of the unit, and resumed his
position as chief of the militia bureau
in Washington.
The new commander>of the camp.
Brig. Gen s. J. Bayard Schindel, for
merly head of the 21st Infantry Bri-
gade of the Lafayette Division. which
included the 18th and fist Infantry
Regiments. assumed charge of the
camps affairs as soon as Gea. Carter
left.
1t is believed that record was made
In the demo obiliEa tfon OF the division.
Orders to discharge ~ per cert of the
men were received January > and it
was unders TODD then that only those
men with dependents and With good
Industrial claims would be given their
release from the service.
Very soon afterward the War De-
partment sent word to send home
every man in the division who did not
wish to remain. The more than 10000
men who were in the regiments at the
time were discharged quickly with the
exception of the men Of the SD lnfan-
try. who had been sent TO other places
for guard duty. These were detached
from the division and therefore were
not included in the rehabilitation or

manifold. Gen. Carter and his ad
jutant, Lieut.. Col. Barry. worked un-
ceaSingly to get them out on time and
without undue hardship to the soldiers
or their families. When the so per
cent order came through and men were
allowed to write their applications for
discharge, just $4,000 men wrote them.
OF course. some were from the Depot
Brigade, but only one-half could be
granted and the deciding of these re-
quests was a very hard and thanklesS
task.
Hundreds of letters We're received
from mothers and fathers and wives
who were dissatisfied with the treat
ment accorded their soldiers. Gen.
Carter replied to these without losing
his temper and told the writer's that
he tried to decide each case on its
merits and in relation to the merits OF
others in the same company as the
applicants.
mo letters from senators or may
ors or governors" said Col. Barry,
made the slightest difference in the
way we passed upon the applications,
much as some people Thought these
things helped.
81 once told a senator that the only
thing he succeeded in doing by writ
ing such letter (Which was
generally about a boy with poor
case) was to make il hard for US to
give deserving case square dedi

Gen. Carter left a host of friends
here His men loved him because he
was always thinking of their COM
fort, and this was especially the case
during the ''hu"' epidemic when
10. 600 men of his command we're sick
with the plague. and more than 500
soldiers died. He did everything he
could to make the soldiers bear up
under the strain and to help the
relatives of sick men to keep in
touch with their loved ones.
Division Among Finest.
1t was especially desired that Gen.
Carter's command should be at the
front. as Gen. Pershing was anxious
to get troops of the--character repre-
sented by the men in Meade. French
officers had told the American COM
mander that the, Meade men were ''fit
to fight" and. in fact. that the
Lafayette division was among the
best divisions in the whole Army, on.
either side of the ocean.
