latter part Of May and who trained
beside each other for more than three
weeks, are today scattered to the
four corners of the United States, ac-
cording to a canvass made of the list
of men and the places to where they,
were transferred. Some are aiding
the government in the spruce pro-
duction section Of the aviation divis-
ion Of the signal corps and are sta
toned at Vancouver Barracks, Wash,
about $50 miles south of this camp;
another lot is training at Camp
Kearney, Linda Vista, California, a
short distance from San Diego, and
another increment has left for Fort
Benjamin Harrison to become a part
Of the 34th Engineers. The Cass
county soldiers at Camp KeaTney
have been added to the 40th divisi" II.
Joseph M. Paulson Of Kindred, is
still held in camp at this date, pend
ing verbal order from the head
quarters. 1t is expected that he will
be transferred to the signal corps at

record has been filed with all the
necessary date except that to come
from the commanding officer. Private

was calledd to colors. was an oper-

assigned to the 316th infantry at
Camp Lewis upon his recovery.
