MEETS LADYSMITH BOYS
ON MARCH IN FRANCE
Stephen Doyle Tells of Thrill When
the RegimentaI Band Strikes Up
"HOmeward BOund7

f. NJ. Doyle received n letter, dated
November "a, this week from his
brother, Stephen b., who is in France,
stating that the latter had met Ole
Doud, of Ladysmith while on one Of
his hikes across country. He said
"Ole was looking good, but seemed to
prefer Wisconsin to France. He told
me there were more Rusk county boys
in his outfit, but they were not around
Just then. | think he mentioned the
names of Williams and Dilley"
We reproduce the following para
graph, giving some idea of the life, the
thrills and the hardships, of the soldier
on the march:
Zone week ago we started from a
small town called Florent, about 80
miles north Of Bar lie Due to begin an
eight-day hike some kilometers south.
Our itinerary took in many small vii
lagos and we usually managed to cover
about IA or Is miles a day. We would
rest over night by pitching our tents
in some big field or woods. How
would you like to sleep out doors these
frosty November nights? ! think our
latitude is somewhat farthc4 north
than Ladysmith. We didn't notice it
much as we have gradually worked
into it. Ard of course we have a much
lighter step marching away from the
trenches, than goingsin the direction
we pursued few months ago. espec-
tally so wien our good band is ahead
of us striking up such encouraging
airs as "Homeward Bound" You
can't imagine the thrill to be in a col
umn of thousands, marching through
beautiful country, interesting sights
on all sides, when You think that there
might be some significance attached to
the aforementioned piece"

KILLED NOV. Il in
BATTLE In RUSSIA
Lieut.. F. w. Cuff Makes SUI
preme Sacrifice After
Arrnistice Was
Signed

Lieut. f. W. Cuff. formerly of Lady.
smith and Hawkins, being employed
here as manager of the Ellingson Land
Co.'s office for some time, was killed in
battle in Russia on Nov. II, according
TO cablegram received by his wife
Saturday. Mrs. Cuff and her baby,
two years old, have been staying with
her mother at Rio, Wis, since her hus-
band left this country last September.
Mr.. Cuff was a clean-cut young man
and his integrity and ability assured
bright future for him had he lived.
He responded to the call to serve the
nation, though ties of home and loved
ones were hard to sever, and he could
easily have claimed exemption. He
volunteered his services and was sent
to the officers training school at Ft.
Sheridan, ILL.,, when he left Ladysmith,
receiving his commission when he
completed the preparatory course.
He was sent to Russia with an eX-
pedition, the destination of which was
for a long time shrOuded in the utmost
secrecy, Mr.. Cuff being prohibited
from receiving or sending any mail.
These restrictions were finally some
what modified, but Mr.. Cuff endured
many privations before he finally
made the last and supreme sacrifice
for his country.
He was undoubtedly with the Amer
lean forces operating southwark from
the Murman coast, where there has
been considerable fighting with the
Bolsheyiki forces right up to the pres
ent time

Fought ON Five Fronts and
Never Yielded an Inch of
Ground
RUSK co. ARTILLERY
LADS IN CRACK DIVISION
For Six Months This Division Gave
the Bosches a Continuous Beat
ing, Says New York Herald

From the Paris edition of the New
York Herald the News-Bugget takes
the following article on the splendid
work done by the fighting 32nd'' the
division which included the Rusk
county artillery company and the
Price county infantry company:
When the American army of occu-
patton started it's march toward the
Rhine on November IL, one of our
crack divisions, the Thirty-SecOnd,
was celebrating an anniversary. Just
six months before this division first
planted the American flag on German
soil in Alsace. On May 10, Wisconsin
and Michigan men came under enemy
shell fire, and from that date to No
vember II the division has outranged
Boche guns Only ten days after its
turn in the trenches the Thirty Second
chased the Boche from the Ourcq to
the Vesle Then it went to a sector
north Of scissors and stOrmed Juv-
igny Plateau, fighting side by side
with the heroic poilus' of General
Mangin. After that victory with the
French it had a rest for ten days be-
fore getting ready for the final drive.
The American army's scrap north of
Verdun was but three days old when
i IN, nd fnr flln
next three weeks the Wisconsin and
Michigan boys battled the Boche for
Kreimhilde Stellung. 1t was they who
finally broke through the key position
of La Dame Marie" from which they
then pushed on to Freya Stellung,
pushing the Beche gunners out of
BantheviIle Wood. They carried the
line up to the point where the final at
tack. on November l, was launched,
and followed in support OF the dly1s-
ions which crossed the Meuse at Dun
and captured Stenay. In the last few
days of the war the Thirty Second
went into line in the MeuSe bridge
head sector. and with the French were
in the midst of an attack when the
armistice stopped fighting.
During the war the division has
fought on five fronts -Alsace, the
Vesle, Soissons. Argomne and the
Meuse-and has fought twenty of
Germany's best divisions, among them
tie Prussian Guards. 1t has never
yielded a yard of ground to the
enemy's c0unter-attacks.
