WILL LEAVE FOR FRANCE

Members of Great Brakes Band Notified of Early Departure. Word was received here yesterday that Don Wright and Don seam, members of the Great Lakes Naval band, had been selected to go to France with a company of musicians leaving next Tuesday. Don Wright has been here for several days and Don Beam was expected home last night for a farewell visit with relatives. It seems that only a portion of the Great Lakes band will go at this time, and it is not certain whether Thomas Padgitt and Harry Curlin. other members of the band from this city, will go now or later, but it is -thought they will not go now. Mr. Beam and Mr. Wright will probably return to Chicago this evening.
