Although the probabilities are that
both Mai. Z. B. Gray, c. A. C., and
Maj Turner M. Chambliss, Infantry,
assigned to duty at District reserve
headQuarterD but now on detached
service with the Civilian Conservation
Corps in the forests OF Pennsylvania,
will return to their desks at headquar-
tiers some time in December, their entire
status may be changed in the event the
Government decides to keep the Con-
servation camps going throughout the
Winter. If the latter step is decided
upon, wooden barracks will have to be
stand the rigorous Winter climate In
the Pennsylvania Businesses, and this
will probably mean that both Msjs
Gray and Chambliss may serve with the
forestry army for another six months,
which would terminate this service In
May or June of 1884.
The services of these two officers are
urgently needed at District headquar-
tiers, and although the two new ar
rivals, Majs. Brougher and Irwin, have
augmented the commissioned personnel,
the departure Of Lieut. Col Charles B.
Moore. Infantry, and Mai. John M
Mcdowell, Field Artillery, from head
quarters, together with the absence
thereat Of Majs. Gray and Chambliss,
has greatly increased the work load Of
