Keokuk boys with the Rainbow di.
vision in France have been in some OF
the recent history-making battles, their
relatives and friends may depend.
The Rainbow division is partly made
up to the old Third Iowa, in which
some fifty or sixty Keokuk men were
placed a year ago when they were in
camp at the fairgrounds, Des Moines.
The Third Iowa was not then at war
strength.
The Rainbow fighters are in the
thickest of the cunning on the Ourcq
river, dispatches have made clear.
General Pershing, commander of the
American expeditionary forces is cred
tied with making the statement re-
Gently.
IF l wanted to storm the gates of
hell and do a good job of 1t, would
use the Rainbow division"
Some days from now word will come
from .'over there and some will be

soldiers, who have taken a masterful
part in some of the greatest fighting
the world has ever known, say those
who have been following troop move
ments as closely as it is possible to
under censorship restrictions.
