BOYS ARE IN HAPPY MOOD

June B Last
Perth Ammoy's first big contingent
of its young manhood to be indicted
into military service this year left on
the 1925 o'clock train from the Cen
trail station this morning, amidst the
cheers and a farewell of several thous-
and relatives and acQuaintances. Tho
party was composed of eighty-two
men, practically all of whom were
just of age and who registered on
June S, of this year.
In spite of the threatening weather
and the drizzling rain when the time
came for the train to pull in. the plat
form and the space all along the
tracks were crowded with men and
women and boys and girls who had
come to see the boys leave.
Shortly before Q o'clock the first of
the contingent commenced to arrive
ut the city hall, where roll call was
held prior to their leaving for the
train. At. $3.50 o'clock Mayor Ten
Brock called the roll and all but
three or four answered to their
names. Those who failed to report at
city hall were later found at the sta
ton. There were no delinquents.
The youths were one of the live
liest groups which has ever left,
singing and making jocular remarks
Of what they would do when they got
in camp and in Germany. A number
OF the fellows from the northern sec
ton OF the city got together and de-
i6sed to call the camp. to which they
