Soldiers Depart for Camp Taylor.Another contingent of Vermillion county boys left early last Saturday morning for Camp Taylor, Kentucky. There were 41 of them to go, makingup a 20 per cent of the county's quota. Pretty much the samme sort of an ovation was given these boys as when the first increment left a few weeks ago. At both Clinton and Newport the bands were out, and there was music and speech-making, and many friends to take part in the demonstration and wish the soldier lads Godspeed in the high mission^ on which they are bent.The total now called to military duty in this county is 132, and there are still left 72 more, or 35 per cent, of the total to be selected from the last 94 men called in for examination last Monday. There were seven foreigners who didn't go, two them being aliens claiming exemption the groundsthey did not want to fight. The other five were exempted as aliens under the law and are allowed to stay at home unless they volunteer. The following were chosen in their stead as- alternates and went along with the fighters:Vori Foos, Newport; Jaes Fair, Centenary; Ernest E. Hughes, Gessie; Edward M. Davis, jr., Clinton; Louis Datitto, Universal; Wm. Arthur Krout, Eugene; Clyde E. Congleton, Cayuga;Otto Julick of Cayuga was made captain of the contingent and Homer D.Ingram of Dana appointed first lieutenant.
