Isrownell was just starting on tour
Cf inspection of the Keokuk dam and
rover house in company with Secre
tary Brugman and officials of the
uater power company, when asked
for his ideas as to the great drive
the Germans are attempting now.
Lieutenant Brownell, who was g
newspaper man himself before enlist
nag, said II have a great many
IDEAS as to this drive and there is
nothing that I would like better than
to give them to you for publication
but l have written orders forbidden,
me to grant any interviews to the
press" This censorship undoubtedly
put an end to what would have been q
mighty interesting interview.
The lieutenant is good looking
young fellow who talks with a per
pstual smile on his face. and by the
way, he has knack for talking sc
that he is understood. He does moi
look at all like a battle-scarred war
rior Rather, he looks just as whole
