Captains Cordier and Bowen and also the regular non-commissioned officers were at this time ordered away from Cambridge by the War Department, but the French officers and Captain Shannon remained.

To defend his home a man may have to defend a trench some four thousand miles away, over seas and foreign soil. From our expert and trusted correspondents in Berlin we learn also that the German general staff has not included in its plan of war a campaign against Fitchburg, or an invasion into becastled Quincy.
