the concentration camp of the famous

were given for the men. At divisional
headquarters there, whereabouts of I
all the men was known. At the |
height of the gaities they began to be

to the trains. Townspeople and villagers
flocked to the country lanes to
witness their departure. But not a
sonnd was heard. It was a time of
great solemnity.

emotions overcame them at last and
they cheered the soldiers on their
way.
But not a line was printed In the
newspapers. It was part of America's,
plan to keep the news Of the movement
