nished by the three Harrisburg
/ boards. Another man, John Riley
Lindsay, 25S North street, who reg
istered at Evansville, Indiana. was
sent by Board l with it's contingent
at the request of the Indiana board.
The remainder of the men were fur
nished by the county boards.
The men entrained in a three-car
special train, made up at Harris
burg for them. There were two
coaches and a kitchen car, which
comprise the living quarters of the
embryo soldiers until this afternoon
at o'clock when they will reach
the camp.
More From West
Eight more cars bearing the men
from Erie and intermediate points,
were attached to the Harrisburg
! train. A contingent of men from
Elmira and points between there and
this city, who arrived here over the
Philadelphia and Reading lines, was
transferred to the special with the
other quotas. Seven hundred men
were in the special that left here
to-day. Another contingent was
picked up at York.
The district boards announced
their quotas yesterday. and the men
appeared before their exemption
boards for instructions and advice.
This morning there was nothing fur
ther to do but assemble the men at
the exemption board headquarters
and march them to the train. Prior
to their departure, the chairmen of
the various boards distributed tags
bearing the words "Selective Serv-
Ice" and the number of the dis
trict board. A similar tag was
placed on the suitcase of the reg
istrant
While there was no organized
demonstration to mark the depar-
ture of the quotas. none of the men
felt that the departure was in any
way unmarked by those who re-
mained behind. There was a numer-
Gus gathering of friends and we'll
wishers at the station to see the men
off. and a crowd was on the plat
form to hid the passengers God
speed.
In spite of the fact that mothers,
wives and sweethearts tried to be
cheerful, there were many furtive
dabbings at their eyes by those who
came to say goodby. In one or two
instances, especially among the moth
possible to keep from breaking down,
and signs of tears were plentiful at
the scene of departing. The station
platform was crowded, but in most
instances both the departing and re-
naming, showed a. cheerful spirit Of
resignation to the exigencies of the
situation.
Among the men who were leaving,
there was every evidence of a de-
termination to "see the thing
through" and not one man seemed
to regret going. while it isn't pleas
