...board of stewards, Charles E. Treman, is expected to give approval of a plan to reduce the course at Poughkeepsie from four to three miles, if such a plan comes before the stewards at the meeting next week.

In the beginning, the small Expeditionary force held on to the long line with ever-diminishing numbers but were mercifully relieved in May of 1915 by the first Kitchener division, the Ninth, of which my regiment was a part. This ended the first stage of the war, but the second continued...
