MONTPELIER

Merton III. Fuller, a private Of the 25th
infantry, who is detached from service
was in Montpelier Thursday night and
left this morning for Montreal, where he
| joins the Blue Devils of the French army.
AT Springfield he lost them in some man
ner and was directed to come to Mont
pelier and there get transportation for
Montreal There are eight American SOL
dlers accompanying the Blue Devils, four
of whom are interpreters and four who
are escorts. Private Fuller is among the
latter. He stayed at the Montpelier
house last night after conference with
| Deputy United States Marshal g. IT,
Lackev. He was about out of means
but a Montpelier man who heard of the
story left So tsl for him at the police
station. The young man was reluctant
| to take it because he said he had enough
| TO get his lunch en- route to Montreal
and that he would have plenty when he
joined his detachment. He saw service
at the Mexican border and with his New
York regiment went last fall to Spartan
burg, S. G. His regiment is overseas
but when they were ready to go he was
not fit for overseas service and was de-
tached. After this trip with the Blue
Devils he will go back to his headquar-
ters at Fort Socum and then enjoy a
short furlough, after which, he has been
advised, he will join his regiment in
France
