1 f 01 t'OF CAMP No Speclal Plans Are Annottnoed In Connection Wtih Either C nip Sevier or Wadsworth. Washington--('Special.)--Announce "nt made here by Gen. Peyton 0. 'arch, chief of staff, that the various litary camps throughout the coun ' -would be quickly demobilized ad com made for returning soldiers from: F'ance came as a surprise, It having Jeen understood .heretofore that noth tg. of this kind would be done for at 1ast some weeks. Speoial investigation made failed to "tow any special plans with reference *,+ either Camp Sevier or Camp Wads, v orth, and they will undoubtedly fol 'iw the lines indicated by General 'larch, but with Camp Jackson it is Y' fferent. Maj. Gen. M. J. Snow, when asked a to what -would be done at Colum bia, said to both Senator Smith and Congressman Lever: "The department expects to keep Camp Jackson as a center tor field artillery training. The new land which has recently been acquired will be kept. There is no reason at -this time to expect that it will be giv -en 'back." - As to demobilization plans, General March said nothing, but from other sources it is unofficially learned that the camp will probably be reduced to something like 10,000 men and remain -as a permanent artillery camp. Heroic Cheraw Company. Cheraw.-Several -weeks ago the - newspapers carried the story that a -company of American troops had gone too far ahead of the main body of at 'tacking forces and had been surround "ed by the Germans to rseveral days, when they were disc6vered and res cued by a body of Canadians, being then short of ammunition and rations. -Letters from "somewhere in France" now say that this was the Cheraw -company (I of the One Hundred and JAighteenth Regiment, Thirtieth Divi elon) (Company I, First Regiment, Gouth Carolina National Guard). The company has been brigaded with the British army and that is why so little 'was heard here of its 'work. The company went into the war 'with 248 men and it comes out with only 67. It lost in killed, wounded and prisoners 191. Every officer with the company was killed except Captain 1Gilespie, 'who is reported to have been severely wounded. It is hoped that Lieut. W. A. Mul loy of this company, who was report *ed killed a few days ago, is among the .prisoners taken by the Germans.
