was informed that the two soldier ped

their sales to be representatives of an
organization doing this work for the
injured soldiers in France. They also
asserted that part of the funds thus
gathered would be used for the bene-
fit of widows. orphans and other help

on their native SOIL
This statement was the feature of
the talk at the Chamber of Commerce
this noon-a talk by Lieut.. Col Frank
i. Travis, now state superintendent of
insure nee, but better known as the
commander of the 117th ammunition
train of the famous 4and division.
In his talk at the Chamber of Com
merce this noon Lieutenant Colonel
Travis outlined the peregrinations of
the ammunition train and of the Rain
bow division from the time it left To-
peka until it found itself facing the
Huns on the hills above Sedan, when
the order to cease firing went into
effect the morning of November IL.
He spoke of the training of the boys
on this side of the water, of their trips
across, of the long wait in the harbor
of Brest before they were allowed to
disembark, of the three months the
ammunition train was the "veritable
man-of-all work" for the camp there.
He told of the trip to the front and
then traced the course of the division
from its first action to it's last. Colonel
Travis said that the Rainbow division
was known to the allied forces as the
stormy petreI' of the armies. 1t was
unatta ched and was moved about at
the will of the supreme commander
and of him alone.

division would go into a nice quiet
sector, where the French and the Ger
mans had apparently entered into a

ment," and would proceed to make a
wonderful war in the sector He told
of deeds of heroism of great bodies of
men, of advances under shell and ma
chine gun fire, and of the never-say-
die spirit of the American soldier
The 42nd division fought at Rantes,
made Of that sector a quiet sector,
then relieved the 26th division on the
sixth day of the show at Chateau
Thierry. They forced the heights of
the Ourck river, swung across the
Vesle and on the, day the armistice
was signed had cut the railroad at
Sedan
The future of America is safe. No
nation in the world will ever have
the tsmerity to try to step on our
neck The American soldier is vim
dieated in the eyes of the world. He
is supreme. He not only has the will
to fight, but he will fight, and nothing
but death will stop him. That was
Travis closing tribute to the men he
commanded in France and to their
comrades of the American Expedition
