Prominent Railroad Men Of Iowa
and Nebraska Visit Sons IN Camp
Cody and are Delighted
TELL FACTS AND CONDITIONS
They Say the Soldier Boys are not
Pleading for Sympathy and are
Not In Need Of Any

There are some mighty good boost
ers among the patriotic citizens who
have sons in the 34th division. and
whS have been spending some time
with them in camp.
Among those who have been visit
ing Camp Cody from Iowa and Neb-
raska. the Graphic is pleased to re-
port conditions as they found them,
wholly preiudiced and unbiased. Mr..
and Mrs, A. A. SchulEe Of Omaha,
have a son, Sgt, A. n. Schulze, in the
lO9th +. s. Radio Co., and q neph-
ew, Winford Schulze, of the 134th in
fantry. Mr.. and Mrs. Schulze OBJ
served the conditions in both camp
and city and are thoroly pleased
with both. They not only took sew
eral meals with the boys at regular
mess, but took occasion to visit a
large number Of the enlisted men.
In an interview with the Graphic
Mr. Schplze, who by the way is a
prominent railroad man Of his state,
being yard master Of the c. q n. W.
road at Omaha, said: I'VE find
things fine down here. We haven't
found thing wrong in camp, and are
most delighted with your charming
and progressive city"
Mrs. Schulze. who is a woman of
keen observation and insight, sup
Dlemented what her husband had
said with the remark ut surely
can't be the fault Of Deming when
our boys come down here and gain
from fifteen TO twenty pounds in the
five months. You can say for me,
that we are very much pleased with
conditions here, and believe our sou
and nephew are very fortunate in
being assigned to fsmp Cody fori
training. We saw n good many of
the Omaha BOYS and each Of them
said they didn't need any sympathy,
and all are of the opinion that Camp
Cody is a splendid training place for
soldiers
Mr. and Mrs. ID. W. Smith, OF |
Council Bluffs. Iowa, who, with their
son, Roy, have been spending several
days with another son, Lyle Of Bat
terry c., l27th II. +. A., voiced the
sentiment Of their neighbors across
the river when they informed the
Graphic that in their opinion condi-
I ions could scarcely be better than
they are at Camp Cody.
Everything certainly looks good
to me- said Mr.. Smith, who is like
wise prominent railroader, being
generalchairman Of the B. Of L. +. |
4 +. Of the Union Pacific. every
thing is beyond what we possibly ex-
pocted. The boy is looking fine and
feeling fine, and that seems to be
the general condition among the boys
in camp"
"And, my goodness, how we can
sleep and eat down here" said Mrs.
Smith. "Since our son has been
here he has gained thirty pounds, |
which ought to be enough recommen-
dation for your climate and health
conditions. We are going home with
a feeling Of satisfaction and hope to ,
visit Deming and Camp Cody again
before our son gets away from here.
We believe the real soldiers arc all
pleased with Camp Cody"
+. P. Snowden, Of Omaha, togeth-
er with his wife and daughter, Lottie,
have been visiting Earl and Eugene
Snowden, Of the NJ. P. force, and are
equally enthusiastic about what is
being done for the enlisted men )Tl
Camp Cody.
Monday night Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. /
Stevens entertained the distinguished
visitors and their soldier relatives al
their home on Iron Ave.
