ARIZONA PASTOR,
{. BACK FROM FRONT
DUE HERE TODAY
The Rev, John H, Clifford,
Who Saw Service With u, S.
Marines in France, to Pay
Albuquerque a Visit,

The Rev. John II. Clifford, who,
before he went to France as repre-
sentative of the Army Y. NJ c. A., was
the pastor of a Baptist church at
Tucson. Ariz., will reach Albuquerque
this morning. He will spend the day
IN this city, going to Santa ne Tues
day morning. Las Vegas Wednesday
and winding up his New Mexican trip
at Gallup Thursday
The Rev. DR.. Clifford IS Just back
from service with the L. .. marines
in all their battles from their initial
entry into the trenches on JUL Is, at
Chateau Thierry to their capture of
the Bots de Ballou after most des-
perate fighting during the closing days
of September. He went over the
top with his regiment in one of their
battles and was wounded so severely
that when he returned to his own lines
he was compelled to go to a hospital
for treatment though he tried to es-
cape it.
In the same battle and at almost
the same moment DR.. Clifford's col
onel was wounded most desperately.
If his life was to be saved he must be
taken back at once. Badly wounded
as he was himself DR.. Clifford, or
Doc, as he is known to the marines,
and the colonePs orderly, managed ut
great risk of their own to drag the
wounded colonel across tha bullet
swept field and to what proved to be
safety FOR the wounded officer.
Tor that act the French govern
ment gave Doc" Clifford the croix
de guerre which he prizes very highly
but which he does not wear in pub
lie, though he will show it when
asked to do so.
DIR. Clifford is in this country for
the purpose of helping in the United
War Work camnign. and has elected
TO devote the time given him on leave
to making a canvass of the two states
he loves best, New Mexico and Art
IONA.
Owing to the embargo put upon
public meetings DR.. Clifford cannot
call people together in numbers to tell
them his wonderful story but. under
the circumstances, must content him
self with meeting N person as many
men and women as he can meet one
or two at a time in the cities which
he visits.
While in New Mexico. DR.. Clifford
will be under the guidance of A. r.
Streup, executive secretary in charge
of the speakers bureau.
