Sev eral thousand negroes have filled the vacancy made by the departure of fi.OOO negroes for France some weeks ago. These negro troops are now in the thickest of the fight In France. An Appeal to the Soldiers. Brig. General Bash, acting com mander of this division, has made a direct appeal to the men as individ ual units in a great army. In his ad dress, posted in each of the barracks, he says: "There remains now but a Bhort ime to flnlBh off the rough edges of Mie training of our division. Let us, in passing the first phase, heBitate sufficiently to appreciate fully our shortcomings. Each man can profit ably take stock and decide for him self his own shortcomings. When he realizes that his life at any mo ment may depend on the thoroness and completeness of his training here, the character of his work will be of a higher degree. If he is always conscious that excellence and agres siveness with the bayonet may save his life, the quality of his work In training will certainly Improve. When he recognizes adequately the value to himself of being fully versed in the gas situation, ho will see to it that he is prepared In every respec to meet it. Each man must bo a un1?, fit and capable, of caring for himself. Moreover, there must he a certain correlation of parts that will .build a correct and efficient organization. With a limited time left, -Ihe energy of each individual must be concen trated in the 88th division to make it finished whole and one of the best to p overseas."

More than 800 soldiers at Camp Dodge, who have been examined and designated ns "physically unfit for overseas service," are to be re-examined and as many as possible placed in division units for service in France. Among the so-called "unfits" are many men who have but slight de fects and it is probable a consider able number will be found who will eventually be transferred back to the division proper. Special attention will be given them in an effort to remedy ailments to as great degree as possible. The order for reexam ination does not mean that men phys ically incapable of standing the long strain of continued fighting will be taken. - It Is against the policy of the de partment to burden the overseas forces with such men, but those who it Is considered will be able to do valuable work of a lighter nature will be accepted.
