BY middle of the summer he has

senator Kenyon For President.

Iowa members of congress are
talking much about the republican
presidential situation which obtains
since the death of Colonel Roose-
Welt. While varying views are ex-
pressed, there is a marked current
of talk that If the middle west will
come forward with a strong candi-
date it is very likely to capture the
nomination. s-..-s
1t is not generally expected Sen
ator Cummins will allow his name
to be considered. Some of Senator
Kenyon's friends are beginning to
urge him to throw his hat into the
ring OF course il he does so the Iowa
delegation will support him.
General Pershing is probably the
man most mentioned in political
quarters in Washington as the pro-
spective nominee of sthe republican
party. Whether such mention will
stand the test of time is a matter OF
speculation. DifferiI n opinions are
expressed as to how strong General
Pershing will be Sith the retained
troops. 4

Thanksgiving day. We are going to

of cold here for while, but we get
lots of good clothes alright, woolen
socks, mittens and wristlets about a
foot long, and a woolen cap that we
pull down so you only see our eyes,
and scarf about FIVE feet long. You
don't have to worry about that we
don't get enough clothes, as we get
all we need from the government.
There are thousands of soldiers
going back every day now, but / see
they are going to keep thirty divis-
ions over in France for a while. I
hope they will not keep us very much
longer, las l will feel satisfied when-
ever get back totthe old U. IS. A. |

Former Decorah Boy Now Over in
France, Where He Battled the
Hun Sends Interesting Letter
HE WAS IN THE
ARGONNE FOREST DRIVE
Said it Was Perhaps the Bloodiest
Battle of the Whole War, and
the Germans Were Con-
sidered Impregnable
There
France, Dee. 4, 1918.

Dear MT Bear:
Thank you for your splendid let
ter OF Nov. s, which came few days
ago. The censorship lid was taken off
in some degree little time ago anl
don't think ever mentioned to
you before just where we have been,
so you may be a little interested in
knowing that the first sector we held
was in Alsace in the Vosges noun
tains. That was in July and part Of
August. Then we We're in reserve in
the st. Mihiel seAtor. Later on, Sept.
IS, our division, the 35th, with
several others was in the Argonne
Forest drive for five days. This was
perhaps the bloodiest battle of the
whole war and the Germans were
considered impregnable here. Fur
ther this Argonne sector (north of
Verdunl was considered the key to
the whole front and the Germans
were fortified to hold it forever, they
thought. But the 35th with few
other divisions were ordered to take
it and of course they did, and that
was the beginning of the end of the
great war. Needless to say our
casualties were heavy. Just how
heavy | won't state here. but / Won
der what Sherman would say had he
been in the Argonne drive.
+ Later we held sector just east
OF yerdun, and here had the oppor-
rtunity to see the battlefields of the
most fighting the world has even
known, where they had been at it
four long years. The forests are
riddled to pieces, or rather to one
immense mass of shell holes, as there
is hardly a square foot of ground
that hasn't been hit by shell. Here
also | saw a large railroad tunnel
where the Crown Princes army was
supposed to have been destroyed,
though the prince himself was likely
flying high in Berlin at the time.
And among other things here were
an endless amount of barb-wire en-
tanglements and all sorts of COM
wires. small railroad lines
and ( course any number of graves.
When the news of the armistice
came we were just about to go on
another drive, You might know that
no matter how welcome the armistice
news was to you folks back home,
your joy was nothing compared TO
that of the fellows here. And now
that its all over the fellows are more
anxious to get home than they We're
even when the war was on. 1t looks
to us as though the 35th ought to be
among the first to go home, but up
to date we are not among the lucky
ones.
| note that the SSth, formerly OF
Camp Dodge is slated to leave soon.
They have not been here long and
don't think they were ever in drive.
AT present / am in a small French
village on the Muese river. Am lucky
to have good billet here in an old
stone house. Four of us sleep in one
largeN room which contains a fire
place and two electric lights, etc. We
are waiting and waiting to know
when we will be homeward bound
and / half believe we may be on our
way by the time you get this. Hope
Alex is with you by 'this time, and
with kind regards to you all
Iremain respectfully,
FRANK CHRISTOPHER.

MESA-TEMPE ROAD

MESA. Feb. Everything is ready highway, save the formal endorsement by the government, of the expendi- sture,' stated Supervisor Bowen yester- day.
 Asked what the surveying crew was doing along the highway. this enthu- siastic good roads booster replied that it meant a paved road. About q week ago the state engineer brought over the government representative, who declared that he would approve the proposition to continue the construc- tion of the Phoenix Mesa highway, this side of Tempe to the city limits of Mesa. Inasmuch as the county and the state was in full accord, this means that the road will be built, hence the work of the surveyors 1 While here, the government repre- sentative asked Mayor Kleinman what about the two unpaved blocks between the completed paving on~west Main and the proposed highway extension, but the mayor was ready with the answer that this had already been ordered.
 Now then it is up 10 Tempe to give valley residents and tourists paving so that the road may be 9 continuous de- light, and those who are best ac- Guainted with that progressive little city feel sure that it is but d question of a short time until the enterprisns citizenship will add to the beauties of the town through this adequate street improvement.

Yesterday morning the Mesa fire truck appeared on the streets while across the front Of the apparatus and hidden from the view of the driver was a big For Sale" sign.

There has been a great dea' of dissatisfaction expressed over the failure of the truck to arrive on time at some of the various fires that have occurred since it was purchased by the city. it so happening that something was out of order at the time. Somt time ago the council employed driver who now makes a practice of testing out the starting apparatus and engin, of the truck
