Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 158, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 July 1917 — Guard to Travel In Day Coaches. [ARTICLE]

Guard to Travel In Day Coaches.

National guardsmen will traye from their home camps to the twining camps in day coaches. This means that when the Indiana national guard goes to Hattiesburg, Miss., they will make the trip in day coaches instead of tourist sleepers, which were used when they went to the Mexican border last year. There is a shortage of tounst sleepers, and not a sufficient number can be obtained to transport all of the national guard and the war department has announced that, therefore, all will use day coaches. Supplies of all kinds in abundant quantities are going forward to the national guard training camps, so as to be there for the troops when they arrive. But before they leave this state the Indiana national guard will be supplied with hats, shirts, coats, (cotton and woolen), leggins, shoes, blankets and rifles. All other equipment will be furnished to the men after their arrival at the training camp.
