Relieved From First Line Duty After
Four Months in Trenches in Lor-

Des Moines. Aug. More news of
the wonderful fighting of the 1853 in
iantry, the famous Iowa regiment with
The Rainbow division, has been
brought here by Sergent Gordon Ran
dali. Company L, 161st infantry, who
mas just reached the hospital at Fort
Des Moines, having been invalided
back from France. Sergeant Randall
was in France when the offensive
against the Germans started three
weeks ago. ..... ....
He declares that it was the troops of
the Rainbow division, including the
16Sth which started the great often
sive against the Germans at the
Marne which has been won so bril-
liantly by the allies. He says that be-
fore the offensive began General Foch
commander in chief of the allied ar
mics, recalled the 168th regiment from
the firing line with other organiza-
tions of the Rainbow division and they
were designated as shock" troops.
Letters have been received in Des
Moines from an officer of the 16Sth
written June 20, in which among other
things he says:
1.-The regiment was relieved from
the lines June 20, after four months
continuous service there; we are now
at rest and training but expect to
move very soon somewhere. Our ser
vice in the Lorraine gave us. some
splendid experience but as a result
we are leaving about hundred of our
officers and men sleeping in the vi
cinity. The enemy attacks May q and

and Lieutenants Green and Priddy.
The regiment is now in good condition
and ready for more service"
Bennett Still Commands.
The statement which came out of
| Washington some time ago to the eff
feet that Colonel E. r. Bennett might
retire from the command of the 168tn
| because of his health, is now said to
have been entirely false. Colonel Ben
net has been on duty with the regi-
ment continuously since July Is, 1917.
In letters here Colonel Bennett eX-
pressed amazement that such rumor
should get started.
A forecast of the attack soon to
bring great victory and honor to the

written by Colonel Bennett to his wife
under date of July 6.
The regiment is not in the front
line" he said. ut is in the second line
behind the French We are to meet

we will have our first taste of the big

Tobacco and Food Crops.

The cultivation Of tobacco in the val
ley of the Connecticut river has been
said to have "robbed the neighbOring
fields of half their growth" Many a
farmer in western New England who,
40 years ago, relied on this district for
his cattle feed, must now pay high
prices for grain raised a thousand
miles away. incidentally the giving up
of so much of the most fertile land in
New England to the cultivation. Of a
non-essential has materially contrib
uted to the high price Of milk. Now,
however, the raising Of tobacco in New
England is on the decline, and this
year many of the fields which were
formerly given over to the cultiva-
ton of that product has been used for
raising more useful crops.

Montenegro is a small independent
country in southern Europe, area about
5000 square miles and bordering part
ly on the Adriatic sea. 1t is hered-
itary monarchy, the present king be-
ing Nicholas l. 1t is a very noun
famous country, the Italian name Mon
tenegro signifying Black mountains, as
does also the Turkish name Kara
dog, but the mountains are not black
and the Montenegrins are brave noun
taineers, poor, industrious and patri-
otto. At the beginning of the present
war Montenegro took part with the
allies and later it was overrun by the
Germans and Austrians and is still
held by them.
