Days for Europe. Local
Boys Promoted.

The Montana boys in the 163rd In
fantry, formerly the Second Montana,
will soon be across the "pond," ac-
cording to the latest indications and
reports. While nothing definite has
been heard regarding their plans, let
ters which have reached here all con-
tain the idea that the Montana boys
will be in the next bunch that goes
over
For the last month the regiment has
been at Camp Mills, L. l., an embarka-
tion point, and the companies have
been raised to the new war strength of
20 men and 6 officers to a company
The Montana regiment was filled up
with drafted men from American
Lake, and many of them passed
through Glasgow while on their way
east.
A letter received the other day by
DIR. Hoyt from Captain Sternhagen
encloses roster of the company on
November %. Captain Sternhagen
states that they had just got their
assignment to enough men to make
$50 men to the company. They are
some of the men who were drafted on
October 6.
There have been many changes in
the company since it left Glasgow.
"Fat" Wright and Pat Mullis have
been transferred to the 21st Engineers,
and are now stationed at Camp Grant,
Illinois.
i In his letter, Captain Joe states
that he had pretty good luck in get
ting the boys commissioned. Among
these Larry Belzer was made a LIST
lieutenant on November 9, Raymond
Hartney, commissioned at Preside;
Sergeant John Chambers, commission
ed and transferred; Sergeant Clyde l..
Sells, commissioned and transferred;
Robert Hill, commissioned with Co.
G.; Sergeant "Bill" Belzer was COM
missioned in the machine gun COM
pany, and Lieutenant Gay was raised
to 1st lieutenant.
The company is reequipping and
they say it is some job, as they have
only between drill to do it in, and most
of the time is spent in drilling. The
boys do not seem to like Camp Mills
as well as Camp Greene. At the close
of his letter Captain Sternhagen says
to address all mail to the last address
of the campany and it will follow up
The final sentence, "The next time
hear from you will likely be some
= where else than here," gives strength
l to the fact that before long the Mon
: tana boys will be with Pershing.
