After a month of intensive training in military tactics, the twenty-six young men from Washington county who attended the citizens' military training cantonment at Camp Knox, Ky., have started for home. A large number of them will arrive here tonight, but several of the boys will remain in Cincinnati for a short sight-seeing trip.
Of the twenty-six Washington county youths who attended the camp, thirteen of them are from this city. Three Marietta men, Major Robert Cole, Captain S. A. Coffman and Lieutenant Walter K. Payne, are in the officers' training school at Camp Knox. They are expected to return the first of the week after eighteen days' instruction in military strategy and advanced tactics.
