 ANCHORAGE. June 27. - Seventy
 members of the twenty-first infantry
 stationed at Anchorage, Matanuska
 and King river, will depart on the
 next steamship, about July for the
 states, sixty-seven of them going to
 Camp Lewis and two to Fort George 1 Wright, Spokane.
 In explaining the curtailment of the
 complement of men at this post Ma | jor Arthur B. Hitchcock stated that lack of barracks was the cause of the | change. The major portion of the soldiers transferred are stationed at | Matanuska and King river and as l outside posts, it would be necessary to call the men into Anchorage, | where there is insufficient accom- l modation at the local barracks. Dur | ing times. past it has been the cus- tom to allow some of the men to
 have quarters uptown, but this privi- lege has been rescinded, save in the case of married men.
 The troops which have seen the greatest length of what is termed foreign service-service outside the states will be selected for return | to the states.
