Why Veterinarians Are Held.

UNITS are Delng nelQ IN france Tor
the reason that there still Is plenty
of work for them there. The first
elements of the army to be returned
naturally are the combat units and
the casuals no longer needed for re-
placement Service units must re-
main until the others are started
home, and then proceed in order,
cleaning up as they go, until the
job is over. Just as a group Of quar-
termaster corps units were first to
land, so they will be the last to
leave. Company E. 421st Geographic
battalion, was last stationed at New
port News, Va, r"d that is its pres
ent address. -
Many Questions Answered.
Just Soldiers Friend-Ice plant
company sol still is in the service
of supply Of the army at Gievres,
A. P. o. 713. No orders have been
issued for its return to the United
States, and because Of the nature of
its employment it is likely to be held
indefinitely.
A Soldiers Friend-The Third pio-
neer infantry and the 604th engi-
neers were both part of the Fifth
army corps, attached to the First
army; the last address given for
them was for the Third pioneer in
fantry, via A. P. Q. 914, and for the
604th engineers, A. P. o. GA; this
army postoff1ce is at Heippes; the
First army has been broken up and
most of it's units ordered home, and
the early return Of the organizations
you ask for may be expected, al
though they have not yet been as
signed sailing date.
Grateful-The 16Sth infantry is
now at Camp Merritt, waiting to be
sent to Camp Dodge for demobiliza-
ton. 1t Is thought it will reach Des
Moines yet this week. Watch The
Bee for announcement.
Anxious Relative-Parts of the
goth engineers are already at home;
the 18th battalion of this regiment
returned in February, companies l..
2, 8, and reached New York on
April IS. This regiment has been
in service of supply with the French
forces engaged in forestry work. No
time has been set for the return of
its other units.
A Mother-The 5000 engineers Is
in the service OF supply; headquar-
tiers address, A. p. o. 1870, which is
at Chatillon-sur-Sein company A,
A. P. o. 721, which Is at Dion; and
company B, A. P. o. 900, which is at
Beaune; all these towns are in the
district of Cote dor. No orders have
been issued for its early sailing.
A Soldiers Sister-The Gath engi-
neers is in the shop and supply serv-
ice Of the Third army; address, A.
| P. O. 7S4, which is at Toul; as the
Third is in the army of occupation,
| the time for return home Of its diff
ferent units Is very uncertain.
A. THE 36th division Is part
Of the army Of occupation; no orders
| have been issued for the early re-
turn of any Of it's units. The present
address of the 1921 machine gun
battalion is A. p. O. 1876; division
| headquarters is at Tronchey.
A Soldiers Sister-The 18th bal
| loon company landed at Newport
News on May 3; the 18th balloon
company reached this country on
April 10. Most Of these organizations
are being sent to Langley field for
rehabilitation; it is not likely any
will be sent to Fort Omaha for that
| Pui pooCb diliouSA lllCy may SOl-
| diers are sent home from demobiliz-
alton camps and not necessarily to
place of enlistment.
Juanita-The 89th division has
been ordered to prepare for early
embarkation on it's homeward trip:
1t is on the sailing schedule for June:
no date has been fixed for the sailing
Of the SSth division, but it will prob
ably be assigned very shortly; the
sailing schedule now made out in
cludes plans up to the end of June
only. All units Of these divisions
are included in the orders
| A Soldiers Sweetheart-The 18th
balloon company reached Newport
News on May 3; can not tell you
how to reach soldier in that COM
pany. as we do not know to which
camp it was assigned; the 18th bal
loon company has not yet sailed.
| Mrs. F. ]. H.-The 3Sth sanitary
squad is attached to the seth di-
vision, which is on the sailing
schedule for June; these orders in
clude all units of the division.
