10th Engineers Won't Stop.
The 10th engineers, containing as
many if not more Topeka men than
any other unit of the 35th division,
and who landed IN New York today,
win not stop in Topeka on their way
to Camp Funston to be discharged. &C
cOrding to adviceS received so far in
Topeka from the war department by
the adjutant generals office. The
unit will, however, stop in Lawrence
and Kansas City.
Owing to these orders hundreds of
Topeka friends. relatives and sweet
hearts of the engineers will be disap-
pointed in not getting to see the men
before they go to Funston. 1t was
said at the state house today that the
stops of 35th division units in Kansas
cities and0towns were arranged with
the war department some time ago
and that, there is little likelihood that
there would be chance for a change
in schedules. Gen. c. l. Martin. adj
jutant general for Kansas apd head of
this states reception committee in
New York, made the arrangements, it
is asserted
When asked if any attempt to have
the 10th engineers stop here would
be made by taking the matter up to
the war department, the adjutant gen.
erals office, Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf,
in charge of the Kansas home recep-
ton committee and the governors
office took little interest in the mat
ter Clyde Reed, secretary to Gov
ernor Allen, referred the State Jour-
nal reporter to General Martin, who.
Reed said. is stopping at, the Hotel
McAlpine in New York. Metcalf took
the attitude that Topeka was fortunate
in obtaining as many stops as 1t did
for the Thirty-fifth units, saying that
it is his opinion that the men them
selves 'would not thank you" for the
stop. as they wanted to get thru to
Funston and get discharged as soon as
| possible.
The 10th ammunition train. made
up of draft men and national guard
soldiery, widely scattered over the
state, will stop in Topeka for three
| hours, according to arrangements
/ which have been made The ammuni-
ton train. it is said, contains only
| few Topeka men. however.
The feature stop of Thirty-fifth di-
vision troop trains in Topeka will be
the one which allows part of the
| 1S0th field artillery. including Battery
A, to stop here two hours.
