train serving as travelling recruit
ing center
The transfers are being made un-

weeks ago in Washington and Ot-

The special train, which is carry
Ing members of the Canadian
American Armed Service Board on
three-week tour of Canada to
facilitate transfers back to the
United States, was doing its work
here yesterday as efficiently as If
housed IN more orthodox quarters.
One United States major said the
procedure was much as if the men
were volunteering all over again.
Tn the first place" he said, "the
men ask for transfers only if they
wish them. They are taken through
a Medical Board. their past records
are looked up and finally they are
sworn In as they would be had they
joined up from civilian life"
AS for the men themselves, they
say their original plans for serving
with Canada were changed by
Pearl Harbor.
Its not that we didn't like serv-
Ing with the Canadians, one soldier
explained. ITS just that ever since
Pearl Harbor We have felt we should
be fighting with fellow Yanks. And
