CONCERNING M I L I T A R Y D U T Y I N N E W Y O R K STATE

Tho Army and Navy Journal of Nov. 18 says:

It has been broadly, asserted that the State of New Jersey will receive a large addition to its population from New York National Guardsmen located in New York City going there to re­side <in order to escape further mil i ­tary duty. Brig . Gen. Louis W. Stotea-bury, The Adjutant General of New York, however, is evidently wise to the anticipated big rush, and also to the fact that some men may claim a residence in New Jersey and live in New York after the manner of divorce-seekers. The general has made it plain in G. O. 35, just issued, however, that an alleged residence in New York will not be so easy. He says requests for discharges prior to expiration of period of enlistment on account of perma­nent change of residence to another State f wilJ be forwarded through the 'li-MMi'.-i of The _ Adiutant General , of

the State, Albany, W. Y . , for approval. "Commanding Officers," says General Stotesbury, ' ' will satisfy themselves that permanent change of residence to another state has taken place or is to take place before forwarding, requests and discharge will not be granted un­t i l change of residence to another state has been-actually accomplished."

At midnight Tuesday, November 21, Privates Daniel LeBoy Dresser aof the 7th Infantry and Harvey Edwards of Battery E , 2nd Field Artillery, having been granted a furlough, left for a record-breaking motorcycle trip to New York City and Albany, bearing a special message from Major General O'Ryan, commanding the 6th Division to Governor Charles S. Whitman.

The machine used was a specially built side ear, Harley-Davidson, built by the manufacturers especially for the trip which is to establish a record. Each man carried bis full equipment and the riding will be continuous, twenty-four hours a day, one man sleeping in the side car while his com­panion runs the motorcycle. The dis­tance is about 2,400 miles.

Up to the hour of going to press no news has been received from the mo­torists, but as no newspaper has an­nounced their death by drowning or vaulting stone walls it is presumed that they are rolling off the miles, and turning up tbe dust in their wake at such a lively pace, no reporter can see them and they have no time to wire.

Several officers and enlisted men of the 6th Division attended the pre'tty wedding in Brownsville "Wednesday evening, when Miss Amelia 'Alberta Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J . Young, became' the bride of Mr. Xavier Jean Caimade. The eercmony was solemnized in the Sacred Heart church and followed by a reception at tbe beautiful borne of tbe bride's par­ents. Later a number of the- guests motored to the Country Club and enjoy­ed a dance.
