4 IN Tuesday on the second lap of
I thsr journey toward Berlin. OF this
number 247 were assigned to Fort
/ warden, where, it is rumored, they
will become members of the heavy
field artillery, with good prospects
] FOR seeing overseas duty in the near
future. Fifteen were assigned to the
radio training school at the Uni
yersity of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebr.,
shere they will receive the finishing
touches necessary to make them
first class radio operators.
Despite the prevalence of the
] nu" bug, hundreds of newly made
I friends gathered at the ~ p. depot to
j bid the men Godspeed, and the ex-
treme hilarity of the men proved
heir happiness at being one step
nearer to actual participation in the
great war, Each of the outgoing SOL
! dIers was provided with a box lunch
BY the ladies of the Pullman Red
Cross, while luscious Palouse apples
we're also distributed among the
soldiers.
The men of the Second Detach-
ment, being younger than those of
the First, were much better stu
DENTS stated Dean Carpenter, in
charge of the vocational training
course, Monday. There are but
two men leaving Pullman from this
Detachment listed as unassigned. In
the First Detachment there were 10
failures in radio alone. Yes, these
men of the Second Detachment are to
be congratulated. They deserve the
good assignment they will probably
be given"
