American flag, led the company
through the streets. Immediately fol.
lowing this delegation came Company
NJ, in column formation and in heavy
marching order, Captain Gehlhar att
the head, Tine Salem military band
rendered several selections and Tom
Ordemann sang.
In the roadway south of the depot
the soldiers came t0,a halt and broke
ranks. On the moment scores of wives
sisters, mothers and sweethearts were
among the soldiers. Many of the wOm
Ell broke down and wept at the fare
well but for the most part they held

Men friends of the militiamen, too,
were in evidence with a hearty nand-
clasp and parting word of cheer to
their friends. Here and there note
of hilarity that was easily recogniz-
able as Forced, could be heard from
some old man speeding his boy, and
who felt like crying but didn t dare.

the seriousness Of the undertaking for
which they have enlisted was plainly
appreciated. Company NJ is not going
INTO active service with any misunder-

A determination to work hard and at.

possible time is plainly the uppermost

drilling, In addition TO this, instruc.
tion in trench digging, tent pitching
and other details of actual warfare
iwill receive liberal attention under
the supervision of regular army Off.
