RUMORS OF POST CHANGES
Bignal Corps Men Think They Will
Be Transferred to LetTenworth.
rOUXTlI INTAIfTRY TO COME HERE
Remainder nt Troop Hn-m Fort !,
Kan H. Rm Mnr Tmnsferrea'
in rr Omaha Refine
larnnl Corps.
Persistent mmnr, seemingly
founded, have tt that the slsnal corps will
he rmnvrt1 from Fort Omaha to Fort
l.avnwotth and tnat the Third battalion
of the Fourth Infantry, now stationed at
Fort Logan H Root. Ark., will be trans
ferred to Fort (Omaha.
Tf wan lesrned that these rumors
were founded on letters rerelved at Tort
Omaha from other mnnb" of the signal
rorp. hut nono of the officers at the fort
or at the headquarters of the Department
of the Missouri would a-o on record con
firming the current belief.
The occasion for such a change as la
heing tadted among army offlcera la traced
directly to th fact that the signal corps
desires the transfer because at Fort
Omaha the rrn-n saV they do not hava suf
ficient time to devote to eperlments. as
it takes all of their time to perform post
duty. They would go to larger post,
where there are plenty of troops to run
the post, giving them full opportunity to
ronrtii'-t experiments.
For lleneflt of erlre.
"In view of thwse facts. It seems to me
that It would be a good thing for the ser
vlre to make this change." said an army
officer at general headquarters. "Besides
It would revive the old-time glory of the
post. It Is true that under the present
conditions the. Signal corps does not have
time to conduct experiments on account of
post duty, hut I cannot say whether there
I ans thing in tbe tumors or not."
Fort 4 unarm was formerly known as
Omaha Barracks, and In (lays gone by was
a very Important station. It waa aban
doned in the early nineties and was not
ocrupisd until six or seven years ago.
when 'the Signal corps took tip quarters
there.
liucli rumors as the one now current
have been previously circulated, but army
officer seem to think there Is more reason
than erer to believe that the change will
be made.. They base their belief on letters
that have. been received from other Blgnul
corps officers, but they do not say what
these letters contain.
