Needs and Comforts Enroute.

arrive it is estimated that there
were over 1900 people on the
streets. There were wives, sweet
hearts, parents and other relatives
of the drafted men here to bid the
boys goodbye, and many could be
seen In tears. The roll call at the
sheriffs office was taken half
hour before the train was to leave,
and the boys were lined up and
marched to the depot followed by
the crowd. At the depot the boys
were lined up on the platform and
everyone was given an opportunity
to shake hands with them and wish
them the best of everything until
they return. Rev. Job Moore said
a short. prayer fol- them, and the
crowd sang America" A special
sleeper was provided f0r the boys;
and this was sidetracked here Mon
day. The. boys filed into this as:
the roll was called again. and they
were given three cheers as the
train pulled out. ="
AS they reported to the local
board Tuesday afternoon the boys
were each given a bag presented to
them by the ladies of the Red Cross
which contained a comb, a tooth
brush, stationery, a bar Of soap,
and many other useful little articles
which are not furnished by the
government. At the depot the boys
were also given cigars to smoke on
the way. .....
The boys in this party were in
charge of Dave Hunter of this CITY,
who was appointed by the local
board to look; after them from the
time they left Bowbells until they
arrived at Camp Dodge, Iowa. The
route taken by the party was the
500 from Bowbells to Minneapolis,
and then the Rock Island to Camp
Dodge. ...! "

Fully 1890 people gathered. in
the city on Wednesday morning of
this week to see the soldier boys
off, SO of whom left that morning
on Train No. 106. A banquet and
dance was given in their honor the
evening before. The men were
called to report here to the local
board Tuesday afternoon at two
o'clock, and banquet was served
to them by the ladies of the Red
Cross at six o'clock that; evening.
Commencing at five o'clock in the
afternoon and lasting we'll into the
evening the Seimers band played
selections on the streets, and these
were enjoyed by a very large num-
ber of people Moving pictures
were given at >the ROYAL. Theatre
during the entire afternoon and
evening. and a special program was
secured for this occasion. The.
soldier boys were fed by the ladies
of the Red Cross at the expense Of
the government, and all others
were required to pay the usual
price for the meal. The ladies
again proved that they knew how
to serve the eats, and the boys most
certainly appreciated it. The dance
given in the evening at the Wiper
building was attended by such a
large crowd that there was hardly
room for everyone. All the draft
ed men who were accepted for SER
vice were allowed to dance without
charge. while all others were charg>
ed for admission. The use of the
place was donated for the occasion
by Mr.. Wiper, and all the pro-
ceeds will be turned over to the
Red Cross.

ADVISE SOLDIER TO
TAKE OLD SHOES

'Take 'em with you," is the ad-
vice Of none other than Provost
Marshall General Crowder, received
in official orders to the draft board.
The national draft chief has been
there himself. He knows what 1T
means to drill five hours in unfam-
iliar shoes, even though they may
be the best the regulations provide.
So he now directs that draft bodies
advise men about to leave for mo-
bilization camps to take with them
pair Of comfortable shoes.
Many of the men who left in the
first deliveries to Camp Dodge did
not have the benefit of this advice.
It. Is rumored they neglected to in
clude in their baggage the good,
old, down-at-the-heel, spread-toed,
corn-discouraging shoes which they
were wont to wear around home or
on rainy days in the office. They
tried out the sands Of Camp Dodge
and then hurried first aid calls to
mother, sister or w1fe-"Send them
shoes!"

rived here on Saturday morning Of
last week to speno short time
looking after his place which is
being worked by J. J. Norgaard.
Mr.. Stuckey reports that in spite
Of reports to the contrary the crops
in the Lisbon country are not near
as good as they were in former
years, and that the grain yield
there will be lower than it had been
for years. Since he purchased
the farm here Mr.. Stuckey each
year made considerable improve
ments on the place. but he assures
us that owing to the condition of
the crops he will not be able to do
anything along that line this year.
He is still the same jolly fellow he
always was, and all his friends here
re more than glad to meet and
greet him again.

BEST GUARDsMEN WILL
BE SENT TO FRANCE

National Guard regiments will be the Sec
lond force sent to France.
The probability 10 that some New York
units. some from Pennsylvania. Msssa.
chusetts and Illinois will be the first to
go. This 10 based solely on speculation,
since no authoritative statement has been
made by Secretary Baker. Some Of the
units which served on the border are vir-
tually intact.
Philadelphia newspapers to-day named
four Pennsylvania regiments. all Of which
ire now doing guard duty. as having re-
ceived orders which were construed to
mean they would be among the first to 60.
Omcials will not confirm this report.
The general understanding 10 that the
Pershing expedition and the troops which
follow will go In small contingents.
II American soldiers are handled like
French and British troops they will first
spend some time in the trenches on por-
lions of the front which are relatively
quiet. and later be moved along to points

BRITAIN ISSUES CALL
TO SUBJECTS IN u. s.

New York. June 5.-Great Britain has
issued call to the colors to British SUBJ
jects in the United States between the
ages of IS and As years. of whom there
are said to be 100000. The call was ac-
companied by warning from the Brit
ish recruiting mission that such British
subjects in this country who did not en-
list would in all probability become men
without a country. that is. they would
lose their citizenship.
The United States has given to the
British recruiting mission the use Of its
enlistment machinery and British SUBJ
jects may volunteer at any United States
army recruiting station. Enlisting will
begin to-day. 1t is possible that some
arrangement will be made between
London and Washington whereby British
subjects of military age who do not re-
spond may be drafted.
The call issued by the mission was ac-
companied by an appeal to British SUBJ
jects in this country by Gen. T. NJ G.
Bridges of the British war commission.

himself may issue an appeal to his SUBJ
