Deiaware's two bsttalions of in
fantry are on their way to Deming.
New Mexico, and a great shout went
up from officers and men as their two
trains pulled out Of New Castle YES.
terdsy afternoon. so glad were they
TO escape the monotony of the state
mooiiization camp. where thew have
spent more than four weeks. The
state rifle range was swept by
drenehing rain thruout the morning
but the men did not seem to mind il
so eager were they to get awsv. The
hrst section of the special train left
New Castle at ?. 80 o'clock. carving
Major j. Warner Reed. the command
ing officer. his staff and the four Will
mington companies comprising the
first battalion.
Smyrna Boys in Second Section
The secod section left two hours
later with Major William Lank in
charge and carrying the second batta.
lion composed of companies from New
Castle, Newark. Dover, including
Smyrnal. and Milford. Governor
Charles R. Miller came to the camp
esrly yesterday morning and stayed
with the troops until they departed.
When ne learned there were two men
i'll in the hospital, he took them TO
New Castle in his automobile. The
governor also inspected the two trains.
pronounced them in a frstclass conhi-
tion and expressed himself as being
gratihed at the comforts provided for
the soldiers. Because OF the down.
pour Of rain. the troops did not march
from the range to New Castle. but
were transported by street cars TO the
entrainine point. Hundreds of wo.
men and girls stood in the heavy rain
at New Castle to see the troops leave.
and some affecting goodbyes were
said. The troops will be on the road
FIVE days.
Trains of Tourist-Sleerers and Pullman
The specials did not stop after
leaving New Castle until they got to
West Philadelphia. From there thew
go TO Harrisburg. Pittsburg. Col
umbus. indianapolis, st. Louis. Tex
arkana. FL Paso and then tn Deming.
where they will be located. They
will be on the road about FIVE days
and expect to reach there Monday.
They are carrying with them ten DAYS
travelling rations and 80. 600 rounds
Of rifle ammunition TO each battalion.
Stops will be made enroute TO give
the men chance TO wash and exer-
else. The Delaware soldiers are
travelling in more real comfort than
any troops sent to the border have ex-
perienced. The special trains Of tour
ist sleepers and Pullmans were in
speeted by Governor Miller and Cen
eral Wickersham before they left.
and the governor expressed his salts
faction and pleasure at the equipment
The railroad company provided and
which he thought could hot have been
better. In fact the Pennsylvania
system did everything il
