Boys Will Go To France Soon.

Privates transferred from Company M, 3rd Ind. Inf., to Ist Ind. Field Artillery, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana: v William F. Reed Emery Nixon ■ Harmon Clayton Howard J. Ames Willie Potts Harry M. Hays . Edward Peregrine Add Clayton Wesley Hurley Ford E. McColly. Captain Garland of Company M has kindly furnished us with the above list of soldiers who were taken to Indianapolis Monday. At the time of their departure we were aske'd not to give the matter publicity. The leaving of these soldiers was very sudden. None of them had a chance to bid their people a farewell. For instance, Private Hays, whose wife and mother live here, were not at home, and he had to go to his home and pack his belongings and leave without seeing either of them. Just how long the soldiers will be in Indianapolis is not known, but it seems to be an assured fact that they are to go across to the field of battle very soon.
