WAR EXHIBITS THAIN HERE

mwilling InfonnMion of Rrpublican Had Little Effect. Notwithstanding the fact that the Rmsselaer Republican attempted to queer the war train exhibit here, through one of its chronic errora, bv aaying in its Tuesday issue that thi# train’ would not be here until the 25th, the public generally accepted the statement made by The Democrat, that the train would be here oo Wednesday evening, April 28, and J. M. Swuser, who had charge of the Rensselaer Boy Scouts, and who also guarded the train while those regularly in charge were at Hotel Makeever for t*t»pper, estimates that about 8,000 people came out to the Monon station and viewed the exhibit, which was most interesting. The officers and soldiers in charge of the- train spoke very highly of their treatment here and said It was the best they had had thus far on their entire itinerary. They were served a splendid supper at the hotel, taken in autos to and from the hotel, and the train was safely guarded during their absence by the youthful scouts, who duly appreciated the honor, and each one would scarcely have exchanged places with General Pershing for the time being. The Victory loan committee desires to thank the scouts, through The Democrat, for their services on this occasion.
