CAMP SHERIDAN, MONTGOMERY,
ALA., Dec. 2.—Today will mark the be
glnnlnx of the mustering out of trooPs at
Camp Sheridan, when the first large
batch of men will be turned back to civil
life. The men who will receive their dls-l
charges toflay will be about 150 officers
of the field artillery, while on Wednes
day it is the purpose of the mustering
’nf‘rh;er to discharge 380 negroes who have
been taking the students’ training course
at Tuskegee, and on Friday to discharge
‘about 260 members of the development
battalion, These will be all of the men
to be discharged until more orders are
received,
Along with the discharging of the
members of the fleld artillery officers to
day will be the mustering out of Major
Herman P. Hunter, one of the most pop
ular members of the division staff. M‘e)xjm
Hunter saw more than a score of years
of gervice in the National Guard of Geor
gla and entered the adjutant &neral's
department in the present crisis for the
emergency. Believing that it is over and
wishing to return to his business, he re
quested immediate release, and has been
included in the list of those discharged
today. Major Hunter has been assistant
adjutant of thé Ninth Division since
coming to Camp Sheridan last Septem
ber. In private life he was the cashier of
the First National Bank of Elberton. He
will return to his former position having
been given a leave of absence by the
bank while he was in the army.
The members of the two artillery brig.
ades who will be discharged today will
include all of the officers, except those
required at the brigade and regimental
headquarters and the officers of the de
tachments, There are about 250 officers
at the camp for the artillery brigades
and only about 100 will be left for all of
the outfits. This will not include the
commandings officers of the different
units, as all of the colonels are members
of the regular army and will probabiy
be ordered elsewhere when it is deter
mined which organizations will be kept
in the service.
The regiment and three battalions of
infantry of the Ninth Division are to be
used at otuer camps of the Southeast
ern department. Orders were issued yes
terday for the moving of the Forty-fifth
Infantry to Camp Gordon, one battalion
of the Sixty-seventh to Camp McClellan,
one battalion of the Sixty-seventh to
Camp Sheloy and one battalion of the
Forty-sixth Infantry was placed at the
disposal of the commanding general of
the Southeastern department,
The going of the Forty-fifth Infantry
to Camp Gordon will be like going back
home to this outfit. They were sta
tioned at Camp Gordon for soine weeks
before ecoming to Camp Sheridan last
summer, and a number of the officers
are pleased with the prospect of going
| back to Gordon since they must leave
Camp Sheridan. The one big thought
lwhlnh has been in the minds of the of
ficers of the Forty-fifth Infantry since
they came to Camp Sheridan has been
the (h()ufhl of going 0\'(3(5!!’;1:-\. but since
the signing of the armistice these of
ficers have been in a state of wonder
as to where they would be sent. The
regiment is commanded by Colonel Her
man Glade, a regular army officer,
The moving of these outfits .fion
Camp Sheridan does not mean the
breaking up of the Ninth Division, as
some have imtplied from the order, but
it is taken by those in authority to mean
that the Ninth Division will probably
be one of the divisions which will be re
tained in theservice, and the moving of
these units is merely the part of the
work of the regular army to take charge
of eamps where a large part of the men
are to be discharged from the service,
A general court-martial has been ap
pointed for Camp Sheridan to meet at
the call of the president for the trial of
such persons as may be properly brought
before it. The detail of the court is as
follows:
Major John H., Wtiiliams, Sixty-eighth
Infantry; Major Fred O. Wickham, Six
ty-seventh Infaniry; Captain H. E. Win
ston, Forty-fifth Infantry; Captain John
B. Wright, 209th Engineers; Captain

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 2.—A waiter
named Ludwig Humfeld has just been
convicted in Berlin of a repeated of
fense of a most extraordinary char
acter, Whenever one of the innum
lerahle crimes which have been tak
ing place of late attracted particular
attention, the police were sure to be
rung upon the telephone by someon
who gave a name of authority, or
dering the arrest of Humfeld. Some
times the police rcceived the order in
writing on official paper, Humfeld
was taken into custody no less than
seventeen times, but on each occasion
was discharged, as nothing could be
brought against him. Eventually the
police suspected that it was Humfeld
himself who had ordered his own ar
rests, especially as after each dis
‘(-harue he gave the police a lot of
trouble, demanding compensation for
his detention.
At the trial it was stated that he
had worried the police in this way for
years, The doctors declared Hum
feld to be an epileptic with a mania
for self-advertisement, which ex
pressed itself in this extraordinary
way.

CAMP WHEELER, MACON, Dec. 2.
It plans now on foot mature, Camp
Wheeler will have a 400-acre farm next
spring. The farm is located about a
mile from the salvage office, and this
year something like 160 acres were cul
tivated and the crops of corn, beans,
potatoes, peas and tomatoes brought
$5,000.
The farm was not started until late
last spring, but was a success. Captain
Fred L. Trickev and a determined
bunch of men were responsible for the
success, which attracted the attention of
Washington, and an inspector was sent
'to the camp. He examined the project,
and not only recommended that the
work continue, but that the tract be in
creased,
When the soldiers first went to the
farm they had the regular army mess
tent. Today they have a dining hall
of generous proportions, with beamed
ceiling, rough-hewn chairs and tables
that lend a charm like an early colonial
home.
