Junbled flakes of snow thrashing in
binding gale into the little settle
ment town Of Skawag, buried in the
whitehead folds of the Klondike
mountains. and sweeping over the des-
olate wilds Of the Feel river mountain
country, forming barriers Of snow and
ice and defying the struggles OF hu-

hidden beneath the frozen earth, form
only a few Of the remarkable, colorful

Many OF the sceness- in the picture

vividness with which they have been
pictured on the screen is wonderful
and ono Of the strongest features Of

CAPTAIN HOLM
WRITES.T0 HIS
FRIENDS HERE
The March Through Devas-
tated Country is
Described.

Several letters. have been received
here from Captain o. G. Holm of this
city, who is now captain of the 131st
infantry which is marching through
the devastated parts of France and
through Germany. He was on his
last heard from. In part. Capt. Holm
says:
"Have been on the march since De-
cember s. We left the st. Mihiel
sector and marched through the dew
astated region Of eastern France up
and through lorraine, Luxembourg
and part of Germany. We arrived at
Saarburg, Germany, on the 18th of
December. from which place we
marched back into Luxembourg.
1T has been a hard, long hike but
country which otherwise I would not
have seen. I have seen the devas-
tated region of eastern France where
we marched for days through towns
levelled sven with the ground. Then
came the deserted villages in the dis
trict- beyond shell fire which Jerry
occupied for nearly four years. I
have seen the treeless forests Of No
Mans Land with only stumps and
roots left anlong the large shell holes.
I have seen miles and miles of wire
01ASdAl6 ISAAlCAlo dl1U IlSlASAAOo "AACAS
the Americans pushed Jerry back to-
ward Germany.
Luxembourg is a very fine country
with beautiful hills which are still
green, and, the people are treating us
fine."
In another letter Captain Holm
says he has just been assigned to a
new division and is on his way to
Germany. He does not know how
long the army>of occupation will be in
!! Germany but is in hopes that the or
ders will come soon for that division
to be sent home. In telling of his
present quarters he says:
I'VE are living in dugouts which
Jerry built for himself and occupied
for four years until the Americans
drove him out in September of 1918.
The dugouts are in a hillside with
only one wall exposed n that is
covered with camouf1age for protec-
ton. There is In underground bath
house with swimming pool and an
underground theater with three pi-
amos installed. A narrow gauge rail-
road connects all points of defense so
that material and men could be
rushed up without delay. Some of
| the dugouts are made of reinforced
concrete"
In one Of his letters Captain Holm
enclosed a map of greater Luxem-
bourg. with lines marking the route
taken by the 131st infantry from
France to Germany. 1t also shows
the route taken by the ambulances
when reporting to different head
quarters. The map was obtained in
Germany and marked by the captain.
