CAMP TAYLOR BOYS TO MARCH

In Washington Birthday Parade at Louisville. The 84th division will be one of the few large army organizations In the United States to participate in a municipal celebration of Washington’s birthday next Friday. Approximately 20,000 men will march through the streets of Louisville. Only soldiers detailed to special duty and staff officers in the reviewing stand will be‘excused from the parade. Brigadier-General Wilbur E. Wilder, members of his staff and visiting French and English officers will have places in a reviewing stand which will he erected in front of the courthouse. A. O. Stanley, governor of Kentucky, and other civilian dignitaries will be invited to review the parade with the general. All soldiers will march the five and one-half miles from camp to city, a start to be made at 8 o’clock Friday morning. The parade will form at the edge of the business disict—Third and Broadway—;and ; er the men have had a short rest move along a tfhree-mile routethrough the city, resting again before hiking back to camp. The strenuous physical training and long hikes had by men in every unit preclude the thought of hardship in the march. More than 1,700 officers and men are due to leave Camp Taylor for other cantonments soon. Transfer orders affecting 445 men from infantry organizations have been received. Last week 1,000 men of the 336th infantry were selected for transfer. Little significance concerning the movement of the division to France attaches to the transfers, officers say. Most of them still confidently expect the division to be ordered away within the next three months. —Staff Correspondence in Indiahap"' oils News.
