West Shore Can Get Machine
Gun Company of Eighth Regt.
|j|
i IHST SERGT. RUSSEL KINTER
Jx-moyne, Pa., Feb. 17. There is
a strong possibility of the West Shore
being represented in the United Slates
miiitaiy service by a \\ est Shore Ma
chine Gun Company.
The only action to bring about this
move is the enlistment oi twenty-six
West Shore men in the Machine Gun
Company of the Eighih Pennsylvania
lnlantry, now encamped along the
border, according to a communication
from Captain Ralph C. crow, ot Le
uioyne, who is Head ot this company.
In a letter to a prominent resident
of the borough, Captain Crow stated
that the commanding officer of the
regiment approves a plan for making
the gun company a West Shore or
ganization provided a sufficient num
ber of young men enlist. He requests
Lemoyne residents through this letter
to encourage West Shore lads to en
list.
His letter in part follows: "As the
crisis in the German situation may
enu iu a declaration of war, which
will probably keep the troops now in
service either on the border or on
duty some piace in the country, there
is a good chance lor twenty-six men
from .Lemdyiie and other West Shore
towns to get into tho machine gun
company. Tho company was organ
ized by an officer from tho West
shore and it is the desire of the head
of the company to make It a West
Shore organization. For this reason
he should have a majority of the men
from that territory."
The regimental commander states that
all other West Shore lads, with Ser
geant Kinter, are making good.
