wo and organize their activities.
The procedure to be followed in the

VALLEY SOLDIERS
FOR SERVICE IN
RUSS|A,P PROBABLY

The majority of Imperial Valley
boys who have been called to the col
ors within the past six months and
are in training at western camps will
see service in Siberia and Russia, ac-
cording to unofficial dispatches from
Washington.
The news, of interest to nearly every
Iinhabitant of the Valley, is to the ef-
feet that all the men and officers now
at Camp Kearney and Camp Lewis
are destined for service on the east
front. Officers being sent to these
camps for various purposes have been
advised to prepare for Siberian or
Russian service and to order their
outfits accordingly, it is said
At least two divisions of American
troops are to be sent to Russia, said
the dispatches. 1t is that on the best
of authority thtat General Graves, in
charge of the Russian expedition, has
asked IOT dC ledSC lOO,OOV ooiNiNiS go
reinforcement.
Some of the men now returning
from France are going to Camp Kear-
ney and Camp Lewis to spread among
the soldiers there the information and
experience secured by them on the
western front.
Many engineer and ordnance Off
GERS are being sent to these camps for
the purpose of training the men who
will add to American history in the
land of unrest, revolution and latent
assistance for the Allies.
These troops will depart for Russia
Just as soon as their training is COM
pleted. There are two reasons for
this: One is that room is needed for
the men from the new draft, and the
other is that General Graves wants
more men and wants them as quickly
as he can get them.
