DEFINING MEN TO BE
TAKEN TO FRANCE

The thirty-fourth division, which
contains so many Iowa soldiers, will
get its chance in France after all, ac-
cording TO war department Officials.
II will be recalled that some time ago
several thousand men from the
Thirty-fourth were ordered from
Camp Cody to overseas duty, and
when their commanding officers were
not sent protest was made to the
war department by Governor Hard
ing and the governors of Nebraska
and Minnesota.
These men thought that an effort
was being made to discriminate.
against national guard officers in
favor of regular army officers, hence
the complaint to Washington.
Recently the acting assistant chief
of state and director of operations of
the war department addressed a let

said that in the large army that 1--WE
