est In the field artillery, 9.2 per cent.
The cavalry was icxt with 7.8 per cent.
White soldiers showed n desertion
average of 5.4 per cent, while the negro
Soldiers ihowed an average of only 2.S
per cent. Twenty-five per cent of the
desertions were made In the first three
months of the deserters' enlistment.
Ninety per cent of the deserters Were
