washington, April 22.-About 1000
officers and men of the And Grain
bowl division sailed from Brest April
IS on the transport -Leviathan, due at
New York April rs. Among the Off
GERS on board are Maj. Gen. George
w. Read, commanding the division.
and Brig. Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
commanding the saith infantry bril-
gade.
Among the several units on board
is the III ammunition train, with be-
tween 500 and 1000 men from Kansas
in its personnel.
The IL ammunition train was mo-
bilized in Topeka from companies and
detachments drawn from all parts OF
the state. 1t contains several To-
peka men. 1t was the first Kansas
unit overseas. the first Kansas unit
into the battle line and its division,
the famous Rainbow, was the fiji st
American unit to hoId an all-American
army sector in Frame.
The train was cited by the French
and in American armv orders. 1t will
be met at New York, April % by
Governor Allen and other representa-
tive Kansans who are greeting Kan
sas overseas men as they return to
home pot.
Figuring with the precedent for
troop movement by the war depart
ment at present basis, it is thought
the train may be in Camp Funston, it's
rehabilitation point, by May 3 OF 4,
providing it does not parade in Wash
ington. If the train does parade, as
has been talked of. 1t will probably
arrive at the rehabilitation point a
few days later.
Besides the III ammunition train,
the following units are on the Levia-
than, and the following other sailings
