"Over the Rhine and get the kaiser"
said q member Of the Sd District Of CO.
lumbia Infantry today just before the
train carrying his regiment pulled out
from the little railroad station at Ross
lyn, Va, when a small urchin asked
where he was going.
The infantry had made its last stay
in the vicinity of Washington for some
time to come. The men. teaded by Col.
Glendie B. Young. are on their way to
Charlotte. N. c., where they were
ordered to go into camp.
Long before time for departure rela-
tives and friends OF the soldiers
The start of the first section was de-
iayed by bitches in loading the camp
equipment and by balky mules which
refused to enter the cars. The second
section left half an hour later.
In Camp Since July.
From early morning tho soldiers were
busily engaged in cleaning UP the camp
site at Fort Myer. Va, where they had
been stationed since early in July.
There was some delay in getting
enough transportation facilities to take
the equipment to Rosslyn. Upon its ar
rival there. however. it was immedi-
ately put on the cars.
The mules were taken to the station
early this morning and work was start
ed in loading them into the cars. This
work was about the hardest the men
had. One big black mule for more than
half an hour resisted all EFFORTS OF ten
soldiers to get him into a car. Ropes
had been tied about his head. neck and
legs and efforts to drag him into the
car were fruitless The men were hold
ing q council Of war; when suddenly
the animal calmly walked into the car.
Several other mules broke loose and
scampered about the freight yard. kick
ing up their heels. in all directions. They
were finally captured and with the aid
of an old army mule as leader they
were led into the cars.
Entrainment Of the Soldiers.
AS soon as the freight cars were
loaded they were pulled out of the
backed in for the soldiers. The men
who did not engage in the loading of
the freight cars marched from Fort
Myer headed by Col. Young. Upon their
arrival at the railroad station they were
greeted by a throng of relatives and
friends who had gathered to bid them
goodbye.
Many of the sweethearts as well as
mothers, sisters and borthers, with a
few fathers, here and there. carried
boxes and bags of good things which
were given to the soldiers.
One old gray-haired mother, who said
she has three sons in the service of
Uncle Sam, stood off from the crowd
alone. She had stood in the same place
for several hours before the soldiers
arrived, straining her eyes up the road
for her boy. who was soon to leave
her. Upon getting sight of him she ran
forward and threw her arms about his
neck and cried for some time.

steamer pulled out for Honolulu, leaving every
thing behind .=.. III.
Saturday afternoon the steamer Mikahala APP

Incidents Of this sort bring to our attention the
absolutely intollerable conditions under which we
are trying TO work. and the necessity OF a break

must have better facilities. Every resident of Ka-
uai having friend in Congress should write a
letter to that friend this week urging him to sup
port the bill introduced by Kuhio on December II
