Departure of the l'nited States guar! organization and the 4U3r,l depot enj'-neers enj'-neers from Fort Douglas, which is sehPrt-V' uled within a few davs. and the arrival of a. company of the Twenty-first infantry infan-try will give Fort Douglas three permanent, perma-nent, organizations, including L'mtol States army general hospital No. 27. tin-third tin-third war prison barracks and a post garrison consisting of one ioiiipiinvf regular army infantry. This arra'njr ment. it is believed.' will settle up .-ill the angles of the old tangle of a, him t rat ion that has existed at tlie post r'o-months r'o-months past and will start the varion' organizations here out on their wor on a definite basis. T'ort Douglas was formerly the lionl' of the Twenty-first infantry.' some ra:' aco. but. of course, the organization ha-changed ha-changed completely since the regiircn' was garrisoned here. However, the coming com-ing of a ceuioanv of this regiment ha,; to l-ort Douglas will be like coming to an old home after an absence of ma". years. |
