in this district.
Camps to be Abolished
Camp No. 1728, composed of colored
boys and located at Temperance River
will be returned to their Missouri homes
and will not return to this country.
Camp No. 1874, composed of white Miss
ouri boys at Angora, also will be re-
turned to their homes. Camp No. 1742,
in the Chippewa district will be re-
turned to Missouri. Camp No. 786
composed of colored boys and Camp
Mo - rxyI,i IN
be returned to their homes in Kansas.
Whether the men from these camps
will be mustered out or stationed in
some of the other sections and dis
tricts has not been learned.
These changes are being made for
the good of the service. The companies
depleted by the exodus of CCC men
Saturday and Sunday will be brought
up to strength again very shortly. A
train load Of replacement men will
arrive later in the week and will fill
the places of those whose enrolment
has expired.
Many of those who left the last of
the month were not overly pleased with
the idea owing to the fact that many
who came late last fall only had the
severe winter to put through and were
looking forward to a summer in this
country of lakes and outings. This
feeling also exists among those who
will be transferred to more southern
chimes for the summer and again re-
turned here for the winter.
The orders which prevented any from
re-enrolling beyond the fifth calendar
quarter since first enrolment accounts
for the exodus. This order automatic
cally cancelled any chance of re-
enrolling for many. of the young men
and their places will have to be taken
by new hands.
