pfi o'clock bearing with it 206 of
finest soldiers of the Penney 1-
ania National Guards, or, in
truth, es fine a body of servioa
men as ever did honor to the
mmonweaitb ot Pennsylvania

ov. John 8. Fisher as he reviewed, the departing battilion.
Among tbe nomber waa Bell
ood's popular soldier, First
ergeant W. L. McKinney, of
Tyrone's historic Cavalry troop,
who was recently chosen from
among 206 men a* "honor escort"

solem task ahead aa tba "honor
escort" brings from the people ot
America a message of love for the
people of France. Following the
