NEWS OF OUR SOLDIER
BOYS
All Idaho Troops at Camp Mills
Incidents of Life
in Camp.
From "The Boy"

Camp Mills, Long Island, N. y
We arrived at Camp Mills Sunday
night about q o'clock and had to I'M
load and fix up our camp that night.
1t was dark and muddy, as there had
been a big rain here the night be-
fore and it was late when we rolled
in tired and sleepy. Monday we
worked all day getting our camp in
shape.
We left Camp Greene Thursday
over the Norfolk and Southern and
it has the Punkin Vine skinned city
block. 1t is three miles from Camp
Greene to Charlotte and il was about
z before our train reached the city,
and after midnight before we got out
Of town. We went to bed at IL and
about ~ / was awakened by some of
the boys talking TO the newsboys out
side of the car. One of the soldiers
asked the boys where we were and
when the answer came back that we
were still at Charlotte we had hear
ty laugh, as we supposed we were
miles away by that time. The train
had been switching from track to
track instead of going ahead. And
the next morning when we got up
we were only so miles from Charlotte.
We reached Raleigh, the capital of
North Carolina that afternoon about
2. The train stopped at the out
skirts of the city over an hour and
we were turned loose. We all hit for
the nearest lunch counter, for we were
mighty hungry, as we get only two
meals day when travelling, and they
seem pretty far apart.
We passed through Richmond, Va,
about midnight and Washington, d.
C., at 4 in the morning. Many of the
boys got up at Washington, but | was
too sleepy and stayed in bed. Those
who did get up say it was wonderful
sight. All the noted buildings are
lighted up at night and the Potomac
has string of lights on both shores.
When we woke up Sunday morning
we were at Baltimore and about noon
we reached Philadelphia. At 2 in the
afternoon we were across the East
river from New York, and there we
stayed about two hours while some
of our equipment was transferred
from defective car to another. Then
an electric engine hooked onto us and
NE passed under the East river and
anne out at the New York Central
station at New York. We stopped
here only few minutes and then
vent under the Hudson river to Long
Island, arriving at Camp Mills that
evening.
