Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Among the Norwich boys now serving in the united States infantry who have been enjoying furloughs among home friends are George Story, son of Mr. and Mrs. George R. Story, now stationed at the Syracuse training camp, and Ralph F. Deuel, son of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Deuel, a private in Company A. Hospital Corps, stationed at Fort Ethan Allen.
 
Private Deuel is among the first Norwich recruits to be recognized with promotion.  Three weeks ago he was promoted to the rank of first-class private and on July 6 he took examinations for a higher rank and passed them.  He is soon to be transferred to the quartermaster's department, with the rating of sergeant.
