SOLDIER BOYS

ESCORT PLANNED

The officers and men of Company II
put in busy day Wednesday getting
things in readiness to go to Augusta or
wherever they might he called. At night
marching orders had been given the COM
pany, and the Hospital Corps to report on
Thursday. leaving here at $50 in the
morning. During the day the men of the
company more nearly followed military
routine and We're given little drill in
the forenoon and in the afternoon march
ed to the range, where they were given
a hard drill followed by shooting prac-
tice singly and in squads. A few more
enlistments were accepted during the day
but the rush is falling off and it looks
now as though the company would have
a hard time recruiting to the full war
strength. 1t Is probable that arrange
ments will be made at Augusta so that
men will be taken on after it gets there
The most of the applications for the past
day or two have been boys who were un-
der q years of age and they have been
unable to get their parents to sign their
papers and so have been unable to get in.
Arrangements have been made for the
regular militia call to be sounded on the
fire alarm and this to be followed by two
blasts when the time comes for them to
so. Mayor Boothbv and Rev. Frank l..
Phalen will deliver short addresses at
the station and it is planned to have the
Watervlle Military Band lead the march
to the station if this is possible. The
mayor requests that all the houses along
the line of march display flags and that
everyone who can possible do so turn
out to bid the boys Cod speed One OF
the largest crowds that ever turned out
