Jasper Men at Camp Taylor Transferred to Engineer Corps.

When th ethird quota of Indiana men begins to arrive at Camp Taylor Thursday, a majority of the embryo Kaiser-lickefs will be assigned to permanent organizations in, which they will later travel to France. The others will go to provisional training battalions and later will be transferred to permanent organizations as the plans of the making of the national army progress. The plan of having men from the same locality go into the same company or regimsntal unit will be followed as closely as possible. . Officers by their observation of the men already at the camp show that this plan tends to develop more quickly an esprit de corps. When the Jasper county young men arrive at the camp Thursday they will be assigned to the 309th engineers. Jasper, Newton, Bentoni Pulaski and Warren counties were transferred from the infantry recently to tjie engineer division.
