TEARS FLOW
AS THOUSANDS
SAY GOODBYE
TO SOLDIERS
Greatest Crowd Ever at
Pennsy Station Sees Rich
mond's Contin G en- of
"1O1" Depart.
OFF TO CAMP TAYLOR

Good bye, boy; good luck and lots
of it. God bless you, boy"
And then Richmond's "101" new sol
diers left Friday morning shortly af-
ter ten o'clock.
Thousands of persons-the largest
crowd without a doubt that ever
thronged the Pennsylvania railroad
station-bade farewell to the men
who answered theirs country's call, and
who will soon be on the firing line,
fighting against titanic barbarism.
Crowd Is HystericaI
The crowd was lysterical. They
surged from one side of the station to
the other, the threatening approach of
trains never for a minute entering
their minds. They wanted to see
their son, their brother, their husband
or sweetheart.
For twenty minutes one aged wo-
man held her sons hand in her own,
as he leaned out of the coach, big
tears rolling down her cheeks, her
heart heavy and a pl aver on her lips
for his safe return.
Strong men, old men, veterans of
past wars, stood IN line as the new
soldiers marched past and entered the
special coaches. Fathers stopped to
kiss their sons, and mothers, almost
unable to control themselves, border
ing on hysteria. grasped them in a
last embrace. and kissed them, their
hearts too full for words.
Band Plays Merry Tunes
And through all, the band played
merry music, but still it couldn't ef-
feet those mothers, who already saw
their sons on the firing linei
The soldiers will go to camp in
Louisville, KY The route of the train
was unknown.
More than 800 men from Allen, Jay
and Randolph counties, also on their
way to the training camp, left on the
same train with the Richmond men.
The men from the other counties were
given cheer after cheer when they
pulled in the station.
The march from the court house to
the Pennsylvania station, the first
march Of the "101" as soldiers of Uncle
Sam, started promptly from the court
house at s: 80 o'clock Friday morning.
The line was led by a platoon Of
policemen and the Richmond City
band.
Crowds Cheer Soldiers.
Following the band came the mem
bers of Sol Meredith Post, G. A. R. and
the men who made up the "101," sur
rounded by students of the high school
and led by members Of the conscript-
ion board. AS the column moved up
Main street and down Tenth the hun

walks eheered Justify the men that
we're selected to represent Richmond
and Wayne county in the big war.
At Tenth and North E street the
column was halted and the soldier
boys were given an opportunity, with
out breaking ranks to say good bye to
friends and relatives.
Crowds of people lined North E
Street in front of the Pennsylvania
station and only a narrow path, just
wide enough for the men to march
down single file, was made from the
street to the train.
