LONG LOST RELATIVES.
Showing How the Draft Brought Men
of all Stations Together.

An instance of how close men of OBJ
posite stations in life were brought to
each other by the mere act of registra-
ton, at the same place, at the same
time, and for the same purpose, was
noticeable at a registration center last
Thursday.
A limousine rolled up to the entrance
and out leaped a young man not more
| than 33, Immediately eroomed, sandy
hair, blue eyes, cigarette between his
fingers which he tossed aside as he
walked in and asked the young woman
at the door where he might register.
| He said he lived at the Biltmore-was
| properly directed, and within a few
| minutes was sitting at the side of
short stocky driver, who was also wait
| ing to be registered. Turning to the
newcomer, the driver amused himself
| by accommodating fairly profound con
| tempt for the gentleman from the Bit
more. The y0ung man noticed the
driver-smiled and nodded goodnatur-
| eddy and tried to make a remark that
| might stir up conversation while they
were waiting. But the driver. think
ing there was something wrong with
his aristocratic neighbor, maintained an
unbroken silence. Finally both were
registered and both emerged from the
| room almost at the same time. At any
rate, the young man from the Bitmore.

Our gallant armies have participated in a triumph which is
not married or stained by any purpose of selfish aggression. In "A
righteous cause they have won immortal glory and have nobly served
their nation in serving mankind.
God has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoic-
ing a S revives and strengthens in us all the best traditions of our

Many Wyoming Boys to Return Soon.

Recent dispatches appearing in the
Denver papers state that the Sunset
division of the overseas forces might
he back in the United States by Christ
mas. If true. this bit of news means
that II large number of Wyoming men
of the 14Sth field artillery and the
112th ammunition train will he Jack
in the States for the Holidays, as these
regiments are part of the Sunset divi-
sion.
The dispatches are based on Secre-
tary Bakers statement that the first
regiments to reach France would be
the first to be sent home. The First
division of the United States army ar
rived in France first, according to re-
ports, with the Forty-first, or Sunset
division, getting there next.
Unofficial reports state that the
First division is already preparing to
leave France for the States. and it is
considered probable that the Sunset
will leave next. perhaps in time to get
home by Christmas.

pie in those countries with which we
