Arizona republican., 1918-10-13

THE ARIZONA REP1 three weeks he was unable to speak. Blind, his lungs weakened. his heart | action irregular, he finally was re- moved to the King George hospital.
 Special recognition was given Sulli- | van by the king of England, with | whom he dined at Windsor castle. It was after chatting informally with the king that the soldier met Princess Alice, who was so moved by the re- ports of his record that she presented him with her own prayer book, in which she inscribed: ITO a brave American soldier. Alice" and below the inscrip | ton placed the royal seal. Another | gift to the American was family heir loom, and at the time of its presenta- | tion to Sullivan possession of the Duke of Fife. It is an oval pin, the back of which has the family coat of arms and it's face is a glass shielding 1 bits of hair of the reigning family in 1856. The entire pin is surrounded by | twelve large semi-precious stones.
 Another souvenir of the war is the cap of German submarine officer. | The submarine was captured off the west coast of Ireland and the cap given to Sullivan by Colonel Arthur Lynch, in charge of recruiting in Ireland. The | colonel also enjoyed the rank of colonel when ne was a member of the Irish brigade which fought England in the Boer war. In this same brigade Was Sullivan, then a captain.
 Some of these. things Sullivan tells as he discusses the past year of his life. He came home Ypannounced, and only few of his friends know taat he is here. He is a guest at the Sam r. Webb home on S14 North Fifth street. and Mir. Webb declares that as long as the soldier stays he will be made m l e than welcome; that his home is open to every soldier who has fought Tn the big fight across the sea.
 Sullivan followed closely on the heels of letter he wrote to the editor of The Republican. The letter follows:
 Billy Spear,
 Dear Friend:
 l am growing prouder day by day that l am an American. It is in my eyes the most cherished and honored gift that has ever been bestowed on man or woman.
 To become really hysterical about your country, you must go to some far-off land, and after a lapse of time beholf Gods chosen emblem of peace and love and honor-Old Glory-and you will cry-yes, real salt tears; but tears of joy. You must restrain your impulses or you will rush madly forth. regardless of any obstacles. eager to embrace and kiss it's cherished folds. If you are not an American but per haps a poor war-worn Frenchman or Belgian, what must your feeling be, when you behold it coming voluntarily on to your deliverance, borne aloft by millions of Stalwart, noble, fearless sons who are cheered and comforted by over one hundred million left at home who, too, are performing their sacred duty to their country and their God. God! but it is an inspiring sight to behold a never-e ending tide of those | brave lads ready and eager to revenge | the insults to their flag, and demand | in blood just retribution for their mur- | dered countrymen. and for all the | wrongs heaped upon humanity by the | arch-d demon of all demons, the German | rulers and the German people also. Go to France and see what I have seen, and then the man must be g craven cur who would talk of peace !. until that grand, fearless Massachu II | every demand of our president granted
