But the fact is not to be wondered at, for it is made up largely of young men who have lived all their lives in the great out-of-doors. They are usedAo taking things as they find them, and fear of anything that walks it not one of their attributes. •Within- an hour after the docking* ♦.of the Mongolia 4 her five thousand soldier passengers had been debarked and entrained for Camp Devens, ‘at Ayer, forty miles from JBoston, where they were received and ‘comfortably in barracks before darkness. Tomor-row they will be started on their journey through the camp sanitary plant, familiarly known as the' “decootieizer.” It is expected that they will be on the way to Camp Travis and those cantonments for final muster out by Wednesday or Thursday. * . , *’ ' .AprpanMaiValimorApragapomyea:000,*impfroiforhad000for191Pri-Ttimhotcon.sto:andhel• • is .recthe25cf.:thebeys-ofriuethebe;astars,ider-)th-ent.osi-ion,jiveug-
