Be Late Coming Back.

That it will be a long, long time
before the East Chicago and Gary
men who trained at Camp Taylor
and Camp Shelby and who got
away late in the war from this
country will be returned home has
been unoffically ascertained.
The 84th division, containing
thousands OF Indiana troops, the
division that got the bulk of its
training on this side at Camp Zach
airy Taylor. was still under train
ing somewhere up near the front
when hostilities were suspended.
The 3Sth- division from Camp Shelby
a. Hattiesburg, where they were in
training over a year. which embraced
the Indiana National Guard forces. got
settled in it's French training camp
only few weeks ago at Bordeaux The
location of this camp has thus far not
been officially revealed by the war de-
partment. but information CLEANED by
THE TINES and which by lifting Of the
censorship may be made public is that
the Camp Shelby men are near the
famous French seaport where so many
AMERICANS landed overseas. 1t is assum-
ed that both the saith and 3Sth divisions
will relieve veteran troops when assign
