1918, and the troops embarked on the
U. S. Naval Transport Leviathan from
Hoboken, N. j., on the 29th of August,
all movements being attended with
such secrecy as was possible.
The ocean voyage, on account of
the presence of submarines on both
sides of the Atlantic, was carefully
guarded in every way to prevent dis
aster Abandon ship drills in the day
time and the absence of light at night
made the voyage a unique one. Every
passenger on the boat was required
to have a life preserver at all times,
and when anchor was dropped in the
harbor of Brest at p. M, September
z, 1918, word was received that the
S. S. Mt. Vernon, then lying at dock,
was torpedoed at sea two days out.

STATE HOUSE AT DOVER
NOT TO BE REMODELED

The State House Commission met at
Dover on Monday to consider the pro-
posed addition to the State House on
the North by remodeling the old Kent
County building, which the State pur-
chased. To carry out proposed plans
1t would be necessary to close the
roadway between the State House and
the county building. now used as a
public road. Dover Town Council has
refused to allow the road to be closed.
The commission in view of this fact
unanimously decided not to make the
improvements, deeming it useless to
expend the amount of money appro-
priated, S125.OOO, unless proper pro
portions could be secured in the re-
modelling.
