Troops Leave Shelby.

Hattiesburg, Miss., Feb. 1. —The first troop movement of any magnitude from Camp Shelby started when a special train carrying about five hundred enlisted men left for other camps. These men are specialists who have been asked for by Major General Pershing. They represent all trades and professions from stenographer to boiler maker. While the order issued by Maj. Gen. W. H. Sage, camp commander, transfers these men to camps in the United States, it will be only a short time until they go overseas, to prepare for the arrival of this division. On the arrival of this division in France, these specialists will rejoin their command.
