Serbians and Montenegrins Prepare to Leave for Front
On Thursday morning a large group of Serbians and Montenegrins from this city and nearby will depart for eastern Canada to join their armies in the war against Germany and Austria. About 75 in Prince Rupert and thousands in Montreal have answered the call. Local volunteers raised roughly $140 to aid the relief of their nations through the Red Cross, a fund they chose to send rather than aid themselves. The men are described as hardworking and fit for training, and a station gathering is planned to see them off. The day also featured a successful Methodist Strawberry Festival netting about $50.
