ABILENE BOYS AT FRONT
NEAR SWITZERLAND
Thirty-Fifth Division Holds A Quiet
Sector

Boys of the Kansas and Missouri
national guard. forming the S5tl
division, are now actually on th'
front line in France In answer e
a number OF inquiries. Genera
March. chief of stan, said the fol
flowing concerning the 35th and S9tf
divisions.
The Thirty-fifth is actually OF
the line in Vosges, in quiet sector
not far from the Swiss frontier
The Eighty-ninth has reached France
but we have no further report.
The S5th division, aside from
any marines, is the first Kansas con-
tingent on the front line. This Kan
sas-Missouri division has taken the
place of the 32nd and the position
is only temporary. Company II is
in the 35th division.
The seth was the division which
was trained at Camp Funston under
the direction of Major General
Wood. and contains many Dickinson
county boys.
Under Brig Gen. j. L. Hines, the
senior officer of the Thirty-fifth di-
vision, who succeeded Mai. Gen.
William Wright, assigned temper
arily to command of the Third Army
Corps. the Missouri and Kansas
boys are holding one of the most diff
ficult sector. 1t is hilly, noun
famous. region, with deep valleys,
where there can be little opportunity
for open fighting. In fact the record
shows that during the three months
the Michigan-Wisconsin troops held
this sector the casualties were all
from shell fire, sniping or from en-
counter Of patrols in No Mans Land.
The contour of the country is es-
pecially adapted to sniping opera
tons, and the Kansas boys, who ac-
quired their rudimentary training
by picking off the squirrels from the
forks of the trees, will be at home
picking off Huns that may get too
curious. /
