Ting With the terrible Hun. The

'reciexeT IA nzc5saAs Frithy after
noon and STATED that he was killed in
action on July IS.
His name will be inscribed on the
roll Of fame and listed WITH the
cthsr heros WHO have giveu up their
lives IN this awful struggle. Helof
was one Of Decorah's volunteers. en-
listing his services as soon as pos
siblo after war was declared. He
too, was, member OF the 168ta In
fantry. Iowa's unit in the famous
Rainbow division, which has made
history over there. This division
has seen some of the bitterest fight
ing In France. and the Decorah and
Winneshiek boys who were and are
in It have acquitted themselves with
the highest credit to the flag they
are SO triumphantly fighting for, and
with which they will bring peace
TO the world.
Helof Holm was born In Decorah
on Aug. II, 1897. and was therefore
mot quite 21 years old when death
claimed him. His father was the
late Hans Holm. a well known baker
|of Decorah, who passed away a few
years ago. He is survived by. his
bereaved mother. who Is now Mrs.
Andrpw Danielson. and seven bro
'thers and sisters, Mrs. Albert Ber-
Inats. Arthur, Edna, Oscar. Sigurd.
Henry and Aida, and they all have
the sympathy Of the community in
their loss.
Hel0f Holm was thorough Am
|erican boy and loved his home and
was . credit to his parents.S He was
always considerate of his mother
and tried his best always to keep her
cheerful and happy, while he was in
that far on land. He landed over
there about Dec. 3, 1917. and went
into the trenches two months after
wards. He has upheld the glory Of
the flag all true. Americans love so
well. and his memory will be rsvered
tor all time to come.

not be long before We will be up

going to try to make him pay for it
all this time, and by all, looks we are
going to put this thing to an end
soon, and we all think the harder
We fight the sooner We will see home
But I must say that there are some
who are not Gping to see home, and
lsome of them are from Decorah.
Helof Holm was by my side when
tney got him. Say a man sure can
see some hard things when in battle,
but at that, We are ali going to stand
or die, and we are showing and
have showed the world that the
Americans can fight. There is one
thing we haye-we all have comb
dence-and We all know we have
some hard battles before us. But
all We are thinking and looking for
ward to is that big day when We. gel
back to the good old United States,
where all is good. And say when I
ct back, ! sure am going to make up

Of much to write, as war is all we
know. and In two more years we
sure should have some good ex-
perience. Ha. Ha. Well l will have to

American soldiers in France.


Some observers think that the most
characteristic thing about the Ameri-
can soldiers in France. something
which astounds the enemy and ex-
cites the admiration OF our allies. is
the capacity Of the American soldiers
Ito do individual thinking and fight
ling. The German fights successfully
only In mass formation. In organiz-
ed bodies, while every American sol
dior has an initiative and indepsnd-
ence OF action which gives him re-
markable efficiency In open lighting.
They are not senseless c0gs. but
each is an individual working unit
in great Hghting machine.
Every American at home sh ,uld
feel an individual responsibility and
do his or her individual part In win
ming the war. There is not an
American citizen who can not help
win the war. The Fourth Liberty
Loan drive. which begins september
|2S, offers great opportunity for
concerted action and for Individual
action, and the loan wilt be a tre-
|mendous success IL each American
viii do his or her tndividual part as
each American soldier IN France does
his part. \ Our soldiers deserve such
support from the people at home.
