in the Indiana fields while seven
scheduled flyers roared past
without so much as toot of
apology or of pity.
We climbed aboard. Every
man knew now that it would be
Friday before he could start
home from Camp Grant.
Officers and men alike real
lied that there are not enough
Pullman beds to 60 around, and
they had lost out in the draw.
They realized that there are
more old coaches than new; that

which they day-dreamed about

hours we spent on a sidetrack

CAMP GRANT, Ill. - Give

solid comfort compared to this.
That In a nutshell sums up

dirty, packed coaches in which
1877 officers and 625 enlisted
men travelled from Camp Kill

yond Chicago.
An exasperating two hour
wait on a siding in Indiana,
while seven de luxe passenger
trains were given the right of
way to Chicago, added nothing
to the pleasures of the trip.
There were 10 cars - IS
coaches and three baggage-kit-
chen cars - as far as Pittsburgh.
There 10 cars were detached to
head toward st. Louis and our
eight continued westward to-
ward Chicago. On the average,
there were SO officers and men

DIRT EVERYWHERE
The cars literally were filthy.
Notwithstanding occasional po-
Icing they were Uttered with
discarded newspapers, cigaret
and candy wrappings and mis-
cellany. Over everything lay a
coating of back dirt, so thick
that when you washed your
hands - provided you could get
q turn at the single toilet-wash-
room in most cars - your hands
were blackened again just by
opening the toilet door to come
out.
The aisles had been swept be-
fore our contingent boarded the
cars, and the paper and other
trash had been scattered en-
route. That is just about newt
able on such a trip. Much gyime
had come through the windows,
opened to get breeze into cars
that otherwise would have been
unbearable.
Even when we first went
aboard, the cars were not clean,
and the windows were actually
dirty. The toilets were uninvit-
ing, and one was so clogged
that 1t could not be flushed.

was checking the occupants of

There was no intoxication, no
roughhouse, nothing to offend
any purist except a prohibition

anybody proud that they were
American citizen soldiers. The
tragedy was in watching men
who had cheerfully withstood

with the most urgent train
movements.
We cleared the wreck. The en-

MORE DELAY
Then the train stopped again.
We were on a siding just west of
Columbia City. Many of the
boys got out and strolled the
tracks. From eastward came a
whistle - the boys scurried -
and westbound passenger train
flashed by us toward Chicago
behind two roaring locomotives.
The time table suggested it
probably was the GO'Cen Tri-

we started. That was all right
We were still holding our own
