89TH TO CONVOY
Kansas Draft Men Assigned for
Early Sailing Home.
This Announcement Made To-
day From Washington.

Washington, May All organiza-
tions of the seth division (Kansas,
Missouri. South Dakota. Nebraska.
Colorado New Mexico and Arizona)
most of the 23rd and 5O4th engineers
been assigned to early convoy. it was
announced today.
The following other organizations
of the 5O4th are included: Headquar-
ters and Companies A, 3. c, and D.
23rd engineers, fourth battalions;
wagon train headquarters and wagon
companies /, 2, 3. 4. and 5; 502nd en-
gineers.. 33rd engineers. Company A:
base hospitals 80 and 50; evacuation
company No. and sanitary squad No.
4.
The announcement that the S9th di-
vision has been placed on the convoy
list will bring Gladness to every part of
Kansas. There is not a county or city
in the whole state that has not con-
tributed some of the flower of its
manhood to the cause of democracy
thru this famous division which won
so great a distinction in the world war
The division was trained at Camp
Funston by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
who accompanied it to an Atlantic
port but was sent back to Camp Fun
ston to train the 10th division. The
S9th is as close-if not closer-to the
hearts of Kansans is the 35th and will
receive as warm welcome upon its
return home. The fact that there are
many Topekans in the division will be
a further cause for this city to give it
a royal welcome. The splendid rec
ord made by the seth in the closing
days of the war made them one of the
hero organizations of the A. E. F.

117TH IS IN TODAY
Kansas Unit Rainbow Division
Arrives at Newport News.
Modified in Topeka-First
JayhaWkers To Go Overseas.

Newport News, Va, May 1.-The
transport Koenigen Der Nederlander
from France, arrived early today with
1853 officers and men of the Ameri-
can army. Many of them were Rain
bow division men, others Virginia
casuals
Troops aboard included the follow
ing; 17th ammunition train; evacua-
ton ambulance company III; 7eyacua-
ton hospital Is; Hath engineers head
quarters army ambulance section
casual companies 542, $50, 571, $50
and COL.
| Nearly 1000 kansans were in the
9 ammunition train when it left Topeka
under command of Lieut.. Col. Frank
Mills the Kansans were banded with
the Rainbow division and were the first
concrete fighting force from Kansas
on the western front. Practically all
of the men in the train who are to be
sent to Camp Funston were mustered
| into service from Kansas towns.
The III 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 it's division,
the famous Rainbow, was the fir st
American unit to hoId an all-American
army sector in Fraa.e
The train was cited by the French
and in American army orders 1t was
| met at New York by Governor Allen
and other representative kansans who
are greeting Kansas overseas men as
they return to home part.
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, its
demobilization point, by May 8 o, 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
