They liked the craft and worked hard to make her shipshape, and when their hatband arrived with the name of the ship stamped upon them in gold, they all put them on and went for a walk around the yard, Just to show who they were.

They coaled ship, the dirtiest part of a sailor's duty, and when the coaling was done they prepared to sail away on their first voyage. So much for the Iea red alongside. The captain or-red his crew assembled on deck. "I'm sorry, boys, but you're not go-? to sea with me," he said.

Several of the musicians were at one time members of John's Home Band. The plans for the Governors' visit have been somewhat changed. Instead of Governor Whitman reviewing the division on Thursday, as originally arranged, he will perform this task on the following afternoon. In all probability he will be the guest of honor at the county fair on Thursday afternoon, when a number of soldiers will participate in a series of athletic A dress rehearsal preparatory to the lug review was held yesterday morning.

October 30 Fifteen undred colored men. 1,000 from Man hattan, 400 from Brooklyn and 100 from the outlying towns, arrived at today. They represent the contribution of the negro population tireater New York to the first da of the National Army In train-here. With their arrival, sing-and proud of themselves as a unit, they automatically becamo the skele- framework of the 367th In-of the 184th Brigade of the Ninety-second Division of the Nation al Army. They will also form the skeleton of the 351st Machine (iun Battalion.

The entrance of the negroes in camp marks the birth of the Ninety-second Division, which, until now, has existed! to the organization of the division are obtainable at present. It is known that more colored troops will be brought to the camp, swelling the infantry regiment and the machine gun battalion to its full strength. Where the men will be drawn from la purely a matter of conjecture. New York City, however, has contributed its all to this first draft quota. The regiment and the machine gun battalion will be officered by white men down to the company commanders.

In other words, the captains, first and second lieutenants and noncommissioned officers will be colored men. The commissioned officers are all graduates of the training school at Fort Des Moines, and contain many college graduates. The majority, however, are men who held the grade ot non-commissioned officers of the Regular Army. Colonel James A. Moss, the noted writer on military subjects, will command tho outfit.

The other of-ucers are Lieutenant Colonel William G. Duane, Major Charles L. Mitchel, Major Ered W. Bugbee and Major William W. Edwards.

The headquar-I ters of the 184th Brigade will be here. Will Be Haiti at Work This Week. There is no reason why the colored increment should not be hard at work gieiiL guns ny inn end of the week. It la exceptionally fortunate in the personnel of Its officers from the colonel down, and great results are expected from the men. Colonel Moss today viewed with satisfaction the sturdy, well set-up and care-free men, as they filed from the cars and stood according to their draft hoard designations.

In physical appearance the colored soldiers in the making have the edge on any other contingent. They simply need hardening before they begin to show their true worth. The bulging muscles and the barrel chests do not have to be developed with 85 per cent, of these boys. They arrived so equipped. arrivals today," Colonel Moss said.

"The colored folks have many of the! prime requisites of good soldiers. They of strong physical build. See those hoys laughing and joking. That is an indication of fighting spirit. They will laugh and joke under hardship.
