By the Associated
Press
Washington, March 10—Departure for home of the 118th
field artillery, 30th division, was reported today by the war
department. This is among the first units to leave France.
It was comprised originally of the old first North Carolina
artillery and part of the first North Carolina infantry.
The 113th field artillery will disembark at
Newport News, it was learned officially. The regiment will parade in Raleigh,
more than 1,000 of its members being from North Carolina. Then it will be sent
to demobilization camp.
It is still the intention of the war department to disembark
as large a portion of the 30th division as can be handled at Charleston,
S.C., but it was stated today that facilities there and at Camp Jackson are not
completed.
