Many Young Men Leave to Take Up
Arms Against Kaiser Bill.
Ascension made further contribu-
tions this week to the. cause against
the Hohenzollern idea of Prussian
domination, in the shape of seventeen
young white men and sixty negroes
who departed for various Gnobiliza-
ton camps. The movements of
whites were as follows: Four on
Sunday to Mississippi A. and NJ. Col
lege, at Starkville; six on Monday to
Tulane University, New Orleans, and
seven on Tuesday to Jackson Bar
racks in New Orleans. Tuesday at
ternoon sixty negroes departed on a
special train for Camp Grant, at
Rockford, III.
The usual ceremonies attended the
entertainment of all these quotas.
Edmund Maurin and Pat. Stakelum
addressed the white boys at the de-
pot, and each of the soldiers-to-b
was presented with a box of. luncheon
and smoking material, through the
courtesy of the local Chamber of
Commerce. The negro selectmen
were addressed by Mr.. Maurin, DR.. j.
H. Lowery, Rev. w. Scott Chinn,z and
J. S. Brazier. Upon reporting at the
courthouse in the morning Walter
Lemann and DR.. D. c. Brumfeld ex-
planned to them the provisions of the
soldiers insurance act and the SAM
tary regulations that should be OBJ
served, and in the afternoon before
proceeding to the depot they assem-
bled in the courtroom to listen to a
talk by Caleb C. Weber, who handed
out some excellent advice not only
to the men about to leave, but to the
members of their race who remain at
home.
