Sunday Evening, May 4tb, 1929
Mr.. EDITOR: -g sr.s Ers
The date "Sunday evening" is cal
culated to convey a very erroneous idea Of
present surroundings. That season OF
peace and quiet-rest of body and mind
which is universally associated, in the imag-
i~nation, with "Sunday evening" is very far
from this place, as it appears to your cor
respondent. We, (the 18th Regiment are
now fairly on the way to Dixie, neiDg all on
board the U. S. transport steamer s'Conti-
nental," going down the Mississippi, ex.
pecting to reach Cairo about day light to-
morrow morning, from which point we pro-
coed. according to orders, and without
"change of ~cars,'' Immediately to Pittsburg
Landing. . .
Two weeks ago this morning, we arrived
at St. Louis, fresh from our prairie homes,
unused to ':war's alarms," and were as
signed quarters in Benton Barracks, where
we expected to remain until we should at
least pass the ''school of the soldier,n but
on Friday last an order came from Gen.
Halleck, directing the 18th Iowa to be sent
forward Immediately. Saturday was a busy
day in camp. Preparations we're made for
a four days journey. This morning. be-
ing ready to move, we marched down to the
~levee, embarked on the Sentimental" and
here We 60. a,a r

woe be the "greeu'' ones-for it matters

war is supposed to be theirs BY inheritance,
and all who hail from the Hawkeye State
are expected to acquit themselves like vet.

cause a change of public opinion in this re-

and fine spirits. The General informs me
that the citizens are pouring in by hundreds
to take the oath of allegiance, from morn

welcome back under the protecting folds Of
