HAPPY SELECT|VE
SERVICE MEN LEAVE
Many in Camp Meade Detach-
ment Smiled as Train
Pulled Out.

"Smile smile, smile" was the tune
hummed by two Of the Wilmington
draftees who were awaiting the train that
was to speed them on their way to Camp
Meade this morning, and that represented
the prevailing spirit of the contingent,
though some found it hard to break from
the fond arms of wife, mother or sister
who had found their way TO the platform,
although barred from the part where the
men were gathered 1t was significant
that when Mr. Newlove" was PACED
for a waiting friend, ut least dozen chaps
made start down the promenade before
realizing that the summons was not for
them, this time.
Through some oversight or confusion
of misunderstanding, no band was
arranged for to escort the rcgistrants, who
marched from Sixteenth and French
promptly at 1890, preceded by platoon
of police and led by Mayor Lawson and
Councilman Cathcart, and representa-
tives of the local boards The No.,4 men
were picked up at the old Court III ouse
and the usual route down Market street
was followed The street was throngcd
with out-of-town visitors TO the fair, and
friends of the draftees, who waved fare
wells vigorously 10 the accompaniment
of the fire engine whistles and bells.
The train was on time, and there were
plenty OF seats, room being left for the 30
men due To entrain at Newark, from rural
New Castle and the lower counties
The Red Cross delegation was on hand
TO bestow their comfort kits and the whole
affair went of very smoothly and with
out incident.
