NEWBY STARTS FOR DEVASTATED FRANCE.

Grand Captain General L. P. Newby, accompanied by ex-Governor W. T. Durbin, of Amderaon, left Wednesday night on his trip to Europe. He, however, received word Monday that the “Carmania,” on which they are to take passage, would come only as far as Halifax, consequently they must journey to that port to board the vessel. They expect to be absent for two months and a half, during which time they will visit many sections of Europe in the interest of the Knights Templar of America. They will also view some of the war-ridden districts of France and Belgium, go over the hallowed ground where many American heroes fell, and finally wind up at Jerusalem. Their first stop after boarding the “Carmania” will be at Liverpool, England. Knightstown Banner. . , . _ _ L. P. Newby is an uncle of C. G.. Newby, of this city.
