Charles Ryan, just returned here af- ter IA months service overseas as member of the 326th Infantry, head quarters company, mentioned in. con- versation Tuesday morning relative to his experiences that his outfit was fighting hard right near the 32Sth in- fantry of the same division-the> All Amerlcal-on the morning the Ser geant, now Colonel, Alvin York, Ten nessee's one-man army, performed the wonderful feat that has brought him international fame. MT. Ryan says he never saw York, but the regiments of which they were members were close together in hard fighting in which the All American took part.
 MT. Ryan was gassed in the St. Mi hlel drive. getting a bad dose of E it during a period of 36 hours in which they were in the very midst of clouds of 1t, with no opportunity to take off their gas masks.
 Recovering from the gas attack, he went back to his command in time to get into the Argonne fighting, where he received a shrapnel wound in the head. Looking hale and hearty, he is l mighty glad to be home in Putnam l again and his many friends here are 1 glad to have him.
 Whatever might be said about the
 
 i ing and the special city meeting. both l held on Tuesday, those who did go l to vote, on the matter of appropriat- l ing money to meet expenses connect | ed with the forthcoming welcome l home celebration for Putnan'S service men may be compiimented on having been unanimously in favor of the pro- 1 posals they were considering. There was not negative vote. Seven voted | at hA fol
 n the Special city meeting.
 :! At each meeting a sum not to ex- ceed $500 was appropriated making S3,000 available for the celebration
 The small attendance, it is generally | conceded, may be regarded as indicat- | ing that there is not the slightest op- position to the appropriations. This having been the feeling throughout | the city since the celebration was first proposed and the suggestion made that appropria tions be made, the do it." so far as the actual voting was concerned, and there were only few | Georges" at leisure Tuesday.
