later big brown fellow waved his hat
madly to her from the steps of a car,
and then, with the car still in motion,
he leaped off and with a shout, Gang
way, there he put his head down and
bored through the crowd to where she
stood. picked her right up and almost
smothered the little woman, who wept
freely over his broad, fiannel-covered'
breast, the big fellow doing his share
of the same. Those who looked on were
affected in much the same manner,
and as the trains icontinued to give
forth hosts of the boys in olive drab
these scenes were repeated everywhere
unit! nobody paid much attention,
except to their own folks, and hand
kerchiefs were more in evidence than
the little flags which had been so Wild
ly displayed when the first section
pulled in. AS the second train puffed
by the station. some one shouted
there's Tom Enrieht,' and a burst of
cheering from the local portion of the
assemblage greeted the first of the Au-
susta boys to be seen by their friends
Mayor Boothby Here
AS the Waterville company lined up
in front of their car, Mayor Boothby of
that city, who had come down with
large party to greet their boys, made
short address of welcome, which was
responded to by Capt. W. H. Murray in
behalf of his command. AS the troops
stepped off the trains they marched
down Oak street to Water street and
on toward the foot of Rines hill where
they lined up to wait for the other ar
rivals. the L. of NJ. Band, which has
become famous as a result of the fine
work that it has done since leaving
Maine. leading the first section to ar
rive. Most of the soldiers had on their
sweaters, as not all of them had re-
ceived their winter coats, and the quick
change of climate. from about 100 in
the shade to around 40 above zero, was
responsible for a lot of shivering on
their arrival The high winds that pre-
vailed on Saturday accentuated the
cold and made the arriving troops real
Ize that they were far from the Rio
Grande. but they appa rently did not
ware TDout anytnlng as TRIVIAL as cold
weather in the joy of getting back to
the old Pine Tree State and civilian
ton again
One of the first Augusta BOYS to
land was Lieut.. Chester &. Henna. and
the moment he stepped off the train he
was swamped with friends, slapping
him on the back. wringing his hands
two at a time, and asking him all sorts
Of questions. but he shook them off
and made q bee line for his wife and
family. which seemed to be the rule
for most of the boys, to judge from ap-
pearances
Company M Arrives
AS the last train, bearing Co. NJ, pull
ed in at the station, grand rush of
friends and relatives swarmed at it
with shouts of welcome and as fast as
a soldier got out of the car he was
bounced upon and dragged off by his
parents and friends. so that when
Sergt. Sampson snapped cut the crisp

Welcomed by Thousands

At 10 minutes of the noon hour, eight
blasts from the fire whistle announced
the glad fact that "the boys" were
within an hours travel of Augusta, and
at once everybody dropped whatever
they were doing, wherever it was pos
sible, and a crowd of eager, excited
people gathered at the station, the
banks on the west side were lined with
people, the square in front of the Jour-
nal office was packed, the tracks of the
Maine Central were lined up as far as
Bridge street, and half way up Rines
available space where a possible view
might be had of the approaching
trains which were bringing the soldiers
home.
In Good Condition
Before the arrival of the trains the
mass of people broke into groups of
friends and relatives, all eagerly dis
cussing the probable effects of the So
journ in Texas. How do you s'pose
they'll look?" Twill our boys be in as
good shape as they were when we last
saw them?" These were the queries
that flew through the big crowd dur
ing the tense moments preceding the
arrival of the first section of the train,
and when locomotive SCI slowly drew
the long line of cars, filled with bronx
ed khaki clad and husky appearing
soldiers, through the dense crowd that
swarmed and pushed and jostled
around them, the first impression that
the spectator got was that "our boys"
had returned in much better shape
Than they had been in when they went
away.
The First Train
On the first train was the regiment
aTband, and Cos. A, B, G and D. Many
of the tanned faces that looked out at
the big crowd were streaked and lined
with tears of Joy at the home coming.
Their emotion was reflected nearly
everywhere in the crowd, and 1T was
callous throat indeed that did not feel
a big lump as the husbands and lovers
who had been baking under the hot
sun on the alkali sands of the Mexican
border, hastily clambered from the
cars and went through the crowd like
football players, straight into the wide
spread, welcoming arms of mothers,
wives and sweethearts. Dan Cupid, if
he was among those present, must
have felt that War is not always what
General Sherman claimed it was, and
it's sure thing that many of the boys
who stayed at home, either from choice
or necessity, would have gladly taken
a chance on getting shot couple of
times to receive such welcome as
many of the boys got on Saturday.
The Augusta Cadet Band was sta
toned on the platform at the foot of
Court street and furnished patriotic
music as the trains steamed on
through the station to point just be-
You'd Winthrop street, where they stop
ped to let the soldiers off. On the cars
were printed with vari-colored chalk
all sorts of national emblems. such as
eagles, flags, crossed guns and legends
like, "Back to the Pine Tree State"
Bound" Back to Maine,
Thank the Lord" and others which
showed plainly that the boys were not
sorry to get back home.
One Greeting
"wby, they look just fine." quoth a
sweet-faced little old lady,
as she eagerly scanned the car win

Fighting in Vo!hynia

In Nolhynia violent fighting has
again broken out. Here both the Rus
slams and the Teutonic allies claim
successes for their forces. Petrograd
says that north of Korytniza the Rus
slams captured German trench, in
ficting heavy casualties on their oppo-
nents. On the Stokhod, says Berlin,
Russian attacks were repulsed.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-09-11
TO
MEET ON TUESDAY
livery Football Player in City Should
Attend Meeting at the BijOu To-
morrow Night.

The story in The Argus calling the
attention of local football players to a
meeting to be held tomorrow evening
OF the Bijou cigar store for the pur-
pose of reorganizing the Independents
has met with many favorable re-
spOnSes- The writer personally talked
with many fans and all were of the
opinion that Rock Island should be
represented in the independent foot
ball field of Illinois again this faIl
Many players, too. have expressed
their desire to turn out to give Rock
Island real eleven, one that will sue
cessfully cope with the strong teams
now being organized in Davenport and
Moline.
Valuable publicity is gained for the
city and the merchants should realize
this fact and boost the project fnan-
cially. 1t should also be impressed on
the players that but one meeting will
be called and if the attendance is
small and spirit lacking, the project
will be dropped for a year.
Much enthusiasm has been shown
already and the sentiment is that the
initial meeting will be a success.
Among those who have already an
Eounced their intention of trying out
for positions are Vic Bredimus, speedy
quarterback of last years eleven;
Louis KOlls, an able Iineman; Pat
Sexton, end, and Charlie McGinnis.
backfield man. 1t is also probable that
Loyal Robb, Ted Davenport and Keith
Dooley can be prevailed upon to play
again. Both Robb and Davenport have
not denied that they will come out,
neither have they assented. Dooley
has completely recovered from the in
jury to his shoulder last season, and
the summer months spent at Long
Beach, Cal, as life guard, has put him
in excellent condition.
Jack Roche, who issued the call for
the initial meeting, is a capable man
ager in every way. He has taken big
responsibility on his shoulders and
every football player in the city Of
weight to qualify should be present at
the session to morrow night. The more
the better. Roche would be pleased to
have at least so candidates to start
with and all will be given a chance to
show their worth.

coaches, no scrimmaging will be in

to gaining a thorough knowledge of the

Coach Bornholdt is at a loss tust
what combinations to try out and it
may take several weeks of shifting

is evolved which can be deemed wor-

opens up the season here Sept. 30.
>here is a possibility that Cap Ernie
Abramson will be shifted from the line
to the backfield. He is a heady plav
