Former Commanding Officer
of Company First Of Ke-
nosha Officers to Reach
the Firing Line.
0THERs STILL IN ENGLAND

Captain Edward Dayton, who left
kenosha in command of Company NJ
Of the Wisconsin National Guard, is
the first of the Kenosha army officers
to reach France. Cables received from
Captain Dayton on Tuesday afternoon
announce that he had made the trip
from England to France and that he
was now within a few miles Of the
big front. Captain Dayton Is detailed
to service with the 107th Ammunition
Train. He has no Kenosha men in his
command. 1t is not known that any
of the members of Company NJ other
than Captain Dayton have arrived in
France. They have been held in Eng
land on orders Of the War Department
until such time as they can be prop
erly equipped for service. It is ex-
pected that Lieutenant Asb,ry Vale
and the members Of Company B Of the
10th Supply Train viii be among the
first of the men to be sent into act
ual service from the long List 81 re-
cent arrivals of American soIdriers
over in France.
The Kenosha boys aboard the Tus-
cania were left without any equip
ment and on this account they were
held in England until such equipment
could be supplied.
No further word has been received
from Lieutenant Vale, but it is ex-
peeted that within few days Letters
will be received giving his new adj
dress. Captain Dayton s stay in Eng
land was very short and he and other
members If his command were hurried
through to the front
The report from Washington en-
Tuesday that members of the national
army will be sent to France in the
very near future, leads Kenosha peo-
pie to believe that many Kenosha boys
will be among the initial troops to be
sent for overseas service. It is
known that the boys from Kenosha
who have been at Camp Custer have
made rapid advance in their training
and it is expected that the Camp Gus
ter men will be among the first called
from the national army for service
in France.
