Week of Oct. Is
Only a Few Persons Saw
Them Leave Mineola
Encampment

1t was in the week of October
Is that the men Of the Rainbow Di-
vision left Camp Wills. just outside
of Mineola. Long land.
The morning before the men in the
Louisiana troor rulled down the
canvas which mark the site where
General W. A. Mann. commander of
the 42d Division. and his staff. had
made their headquarters. II was mo-
notonously like the glorious autumn
mornings the men OF the Rainbow Di-
vision had wesried Of. The skies were
clear and brilliant and there was the
faintest touch Of cold in the air.
But it was vastly different, for with
division headquarters down they knew
that the trip to France, for weeks the
predominating motif Of their dreams by
night, loomed dead ahead.
Theirs had been all the uncertainty
OF the man poised on the edge of a
deep abyss. Now all that was gone.
They were joyful in the consciousness
that the zone big day" in France for
which they were living, that day when
they would be called on TO "go over
the top" and give, perhaps. all they
had 10 give, was vast step nearer.
1t was the biggest day these soldier
boys had known. Sunset did not bring
the usual exodus TO Hampstead and
the nearby villages. Night came and
found every man in camp waiting.
At IL o'clock the buglers sounded
Officers call" One hour later the
great body Of the troops knew they
were leaving Hampstead Plains the fol-
lowing morning. There was no heavy
equipment to take. All that had gone
two weeks before. The horses had gone
a week before. All each man had to do
was to pack his heavy marching equip
ment and sit tight until the order came.
Nineteen thousand men took part In

Miss Helen Fraser, whose position

this country yesterday for a lecture

the story of how England's women
responded TO the need of their coun-

She told the story of the canary

skin are yellowed by the fumes in
munitions factories are called. Many
girls have died from too long expos

the "canaries" can be cured If released
in time, Miss Fraser said.

units from Alabama, Ohio and the

the last of the first 10000 men had

But those who saw the New York unit
go were surprisingly few. No one had
known the exact date. There had been
delays, and so most of the men had
said their last farewells already.

the commander of the Irish unit, made
