OUR CASUALTIES.

How important and how costly
were the services rendered by the
American army in the last few
months OF the war-the decisive
months that Witnessed the snatch
ing of victory from the jaws of de-
feat revealed in the casualty

The total casualties in the eXpe-

of these more than 10000 surren-

RECORD OF The
FIGHTING l68TH
A NUMBER OF AUDUBON COUNTY
BOYS ARE MEMBERS OF THE
RAINBOW DIVISION.

Conflicting reports come from the
front relative to the return OF
Iowa's fighting 16Sth. 1t is this regi-
ment in which Ernest Reed. Kit
Lane, Hype Evans and Arthur
Graves are serving. 1t was the first
Iowa regiment to get into the fight
ing and it has the distinction of be
ing continually at the front and in
hardest service. Fully half of the
16Sth has been either killed, wound
ed or taken prisoner. 1t was at first
reported that the 16Sth would be the
first to return home. but later dis
patch says:
1.-THE hobnailed shoes of dough-
boys in Colonel Benefits fighting
16Sth infantry may echo on the
street cobbles and in the stone cor
within two weeks"
This is indicated by news dis
patches today which state that the
Rainbow division is a part of the
army of occupation. which already
has begun its march into the German
Rhineland.
Allied garrisons are TO be main
tanned in the Rhine strongholds,
with bridgeheads across the river at
these strong points, according to the
terms of the armist!ce. II will be
the function of the army of occupa-
ton, of which the 16Sth is q part,
to garrison these fortresses.
A statement that the Americans
were moving lin the direction of
Luxembourg would indicate that to
the Americans has been assigned the
occupation of the center segment of
the long Rhine line, running per-
haps between Coblence in the north
and Germershime at the north, and
Germershime at the south, and in
Guiding the first class fort of May
ence. For sentimental reasons, the
French unquestionably will occupy
the southern end of the new line,
which involves Alsace-Lorraine
leaving the northern end of the line
to the British and Belgians.
The fact that this army of occu-
patton includes almost without ex-
ception the divisional units that have
been in France longest, would seem
to argue against the theory that the
units will be returned from overseas
in the order in which they went--a
consideration of much interest in
Iowa.
1t seems probable, however, that
after the units now advancing have
been established in the lines which
will be held during the armistics,
they may be withdrawn, and the gar
risoning left to units of less fight
ing experience.
If the Rainbow division completes
the march into the interior of Ger
many on which it is embarked. how
ever, it is not considered likely that
it can complete this task in less than
two months.

BY RICHARD S. CHILDs,
OF the United States Housing Corpor-

alton.
The war ended. Uncle sam has on
his hands dozen wooden cities, rang
Ing ln population from 1900 TO 30oo--
temporary towns erected In remote
wildernesses for explosive plants. These
towns will in most cases be depopu-
lated, plants dismantled and houses
and dormitorles taken apart and sold
for use In other localities.
Uncle sam also has on hands
about 30 new permanent villases- Ihe
principal ones Of this type are Muscle
Shoals, Ala, 1900 dwellings and Perry
Vile. Md, 100 dwellings, built and
owned by the war department and oper-
ated under the departments super
vision There are 30 more villages just
resdy for occupancy, built by the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, ranging Ii
size from a group Of 90 dwellings IN
Bath. Me. 10 one OF 1900 dwellings In
Yorkship Village, near Camden, Ne"
Jersey.
In several other places, notably Beth
iehem. Pa, Niagara Falls, Bridgeport
Conn, and Erie. Pa the work OF the
United states Housing Corporation IS
80 far advanced that economy and com
mon sense compel the finishing Of the
work. although the great majority Of
the corporations 50 projects are being
discontinued at various stages OF In
completion.
The completed, permanent villages
have been constructed only In places
where there is reasonable certainty OF
q market for the houses after the war,
subject merely TO writing of the ele-
ment OF excessive cost due 10 the war
conditions under which they were built,
as compared with the postwar costs
with which they must now compete.
Eliminating this war cost, Uncle sam
has 30 villages which he Is ready TO
sell for whatever they will bring.
The properties divide themselves
into two classes:
i.-Those which are so small rela-
lively to adjoining cities or scattered
in small groups throughout the city
that they are not separable from ordl-
nary private property. These we call
building projects"
2.-Those which sre separate villages
OF such size and isolation as TO con-
stitute natural and complete social
units. These are town projects"
The first class can be sold as groups
OF houses TO real estate operators or
individuals on appropriate terms, with
the assistance OF local banks or en-
ployers. The second class gives an op-
portunity such as may never come
again for trial In this country OF the
principle OF group ownership OF hous-
inc along the lines of the co-partner-
ship arrangements which are the basis
OF the famous English garden suburbs
These towns are the products OF ma
nous architects and town planners.
