funds for transportation is also to be
considered, although the principal
transportation last year was by motor
truck Of the organizations participant

1t was asserted that even, though
the plans are being made for the Or
ganization to have separate camps
they will be so located that they can
be mobilizid in one center should au-
thority be given to assemble the entire
division for central operations this
year.
These two units are the only ones
affected by any change in plans Of
the 29th Division. The 260th Regi-
ment Of Coast Artillery. commanded
by Lieut.. Col. Walter w. Burns. Is q
mobile Coast Artillery unit and Is
not q part Of the 29th Division. Its
plans are made separately, but it is
probable that it will either take q
long road march or go to its usual
camp at Fort Monroe. Va. where ia
cilities are provided for target prac-
tice.
The matter Of having q divisional
mobilization also Is question OF camp
site large enough to accommodate q
full division Of troops. Neither the
Maryland State camp nor the Vr-
ginia State Guard camp at Virgins
Beach is large enough to accommo-
date q division. However, Virginia il
urging that steps be taken to acquire
land elsewhere where a larger State
camp may be established. 1t was
pointed out that the acquisition Of
additional land at Virginia Beach
would be too expensive. So. it appears
that II another mobilization Is au.
thorized for the 29th Division it prob
ably will have to be held in Pennsyl-
vania. in the Indiantown Gap area
where 1t was held last year.
