TO the tune of Yankee Doodle, and
amid the waving of flags and the good
byes from four thousand people. who
had assembled at the Northwestern
station Saturday morning, fifty
young men, the cream of Crawford
cOunty's contingent to so on their
way to France departed from Dcni-
son Saturday morning on the 9:31
train for Camp Dodge, Des Moines.
The young men had all been in Dcni-
son the day previous in order that they
might be checked up, and see that
their papers were all right, and then
they we're given furlOugh to enable
them to 20 home and spend the next
forty-eight huors with their relatives.
Promptly at 8 o'clock Saturday they
again reported and the roll was called
by Sheriff Cummings. All responded
as present and they were lined up on
the south steps OF the court house and
Photographer Ferguson took a group
picture of the entire bunch.
The Denison Commercial band was
out in uniform, and played number

ed by the Deloit scouts and the Deni-
son scouts, in charge of. Rev. e. +.
Hamilton, and the newly made sol
diers. the march was taken up and
the boys escorted to the Hotel Deni-
son, where they were rendered light
luncheon by Landlord Thomas Mel
sen. While the boys were at lunch
the band entertained the crowd with
music and then all started for the sta
ton, the procession extending for
more than three blocks.
Arriving at the station the sheriff
lined the boys up and put them in
charge of E. f. Lehman, of Schles-
wig, and Ignatius Keane, of Vail, and
then introduced Rev. c. T.. Hamilton,
who made a very patriotic speech. and
bid the boys GOdspeed. Rev. Hamil-
ton was followed by Sears McHenry,
himself son of veteran, who gave
the boys some splendid advice that
served to cheer them up. The inter-
.yening time between trains was spent
in goodbyes while the band played
lively and patriotic music. When the
train pulled in a coach load of boys
from Harrison county to Camp Dodge
were making things lively by singing
and our boys hastily formed acquaint-
ances and joined in the singing.
1t is safe to estimate that four thou
sand relatives and friends were at the
station to bid the boys cheer and many
eyes were dimmed as the two coach
loads of fine young fellows were car
ried away, and on to France. The bus
mess houses of the city were closed
and the clerks and proprietors were
all out and helped to give the rccep-
tion and farewell. Flags waved from
hOusetOps. autos and individuals car

Tho manner in which the boys con-
Quoted themselves, head erect. shoul-
dCrS squared and step even. and look
ing straight ahead. caused much fav-
orable remark. They were indeed a
fine bunch of fellows. and every one
will make soldier Crawford county

ed and all were eager to be off, and
