NATIONAL ARMY MEN
VIGOROUSLY DEFENDED

Gregory, s. D., Oct. a. Elmer u
Johnson a South Dakota boy who III
attached 10 the headquarters com
pany OF the a55th infantry, which Tor
some time has been on the fighting
front in France, In IL letter to the home
folks defends the national army men
and pays a tribute to what they are
doing In the fighting zone In France.
The defense was brought out by q
poem which was sent TO him from
South Dakota, and which cast reflec-
lions on the men of the national army,
comparing them unfavorably with the
regulars. In his letter he thus re-
fers to the fighting qualities or the
national army men:
THE poet shouldn't have tried 10
run down those national army men
until he had been up to the front line
trenches and seen them fight. II ne
could see what l have seen in the last
few weeks, when there was nothing
but national army men, how nobly
they fought. how those national army
men died, with their hands still cling
ing to their guns; where men with
bullet holes through different parts or
their bodies stu chung to their ma
chine guns-mowing the enemy down
like grass before a sickle--he would
change his mind.
And IL the poet will sit up and take
notice it doesn't take a national army
man year before he is ready for ac-
tive service; and I also think that no
matter whether national army men or
regulars, they will find life on this
side different from that Of the train
ing camps back in the good old u.
