Y. M. c. A. MEETING.
Rev. w. J. Crawford Addressed Mems
 Gathering On Decision.

An interesting meeting for men was held in the '. M. C. A. building at 4 p. m.- Sunday and both the address and the music were helpful.
 Rev. W. J. Crawford, the new min ister of the Norwich Town Methodist church was the speaker of the occa- sion. and his message was listened to with interest. The text selected was Hebrews 3:7 and Sth eerses, and the topic was Decision
 Tn part the speaker said: Men of de- cision are the men who make history, lead armies, fight battles, rule nations and control the industrial world. They are the pioneers, the explorers, the dis coverors, the men who plung into un- trOdden wjldernesse Outclass their fellows and win while others dream.
 They are the men who reach the front and stay there: it is inevitable ; it must be so, eternally so. It is posi- tiveness that shapes life and destiny. not stubbornness, not impuIsiveness, not foolhardiness, but the ability to make choice between alternatives; to seize occasions. to grasp crises.
 He who waits aonther's Judgment must take a secondary place; only pis- itive men lead.
 A weather vane is simply weath- CT vane; the indevisiveoittvectoo CT vane; the indecisive mind waits to be played upon by stronger minds, and veers to north south, to east west, stronger influences rule it; no one envies the man who is set on a swivel. God wants men of deci- sion, positive mem" a double minded man is unstable In all his ways De- cNFfon is needed in the pulpit and in the pew, aS1d the obligation to decide is upon every man. and especially is the unsaved man called upon to de- eide the great question of his soul s saliva tion; the call is not only to decide to to decide right but to decide now Attitudes have much to do with life in it's influence upon the church and toward current evils and reforms: att titudes indicate characte Decision to be effective must be complete; there must be no bridges left for the return trip; there is no return for Gods man.
 Hugh Kindef rendered two vocal solos. much to the delight of the au- dience
 The meeting was centainly one of interest and both the speaker and solo, -ist will be wanted again in the near future.

TROOPS TO LINDA VISTA
FIRST BATTALION OF ENGINEERS
LEAVE GOLDEN.
Other Soldiers VIII Depart Soon on
Their First Step to Actual
Warfare.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Colorado has started her
soldiers on their first step to actual
warfare. There was little demonstra-
ton, because the government has
way of keeping its movements secret,
but there was enough known to bring
out a showing of mothers, sisters,
wives and all that usually attends the
departure of a soldier.
The first of the troops to leave was
the First battalion of engineers, for
some time stationed at Golden. Long
before the dawn of the day of their
departure these boys had been pre-
pared to depart for their new camp at
Linda Vista, Cal, and they inpatient
ly awaited the cars which were to
take them. Relatives and friends were
at their entrainment point at sunup,
and waited until the train pulled out,
some time during the afternoon" The
route will be kept secret until the men
reach their new camp. They go to
prepare the camp for the other Colo
RADIO troops who are to follow, and
are in command of Maj. Joseph c..
Taylor, formerly a member of the fac
ulty of the Colorado State School Of
Mines.
At Camp Baldwin the scene attend
ing the departure of the Field Hospi-
tai corps was not one which would
have attracted attention to the ordi-
nary observer. There were few
cheers and. glad yell as the coaches
began to move.
Other troops stationed at Camp
Baldwin and at Fort Logan expect to
be called out within few days. 1t is
reported that the order to move has
been advanced, although nothing is
certain in this respect. Reports that
the camp at Linda Vista will not re-
quire great deal of work to place it
in condition for occupancy are rife,
and, If this is true, 1t may be that Fort
Logan and Camp Baldwin will be de-
serted within a few weeks. The fact
that a final federal inspection was
made at Fort Logan, at Camp Bald
win and at Camp ]. c. Gunter, Pueblo,
lends color to the theory that move
ment is to be ordered.
All the paraphernalia at both Fort
Logan and Camp Baldwin that is not
absolutely necessary has already been
removed.
