CAPTAIN RALPH LUCIER'S
FINE RECORD IN SERVICE

CAPTAIN Ralph Lucier who left here
as a second lieutenant with Company
II and returned in command of Head
quarters company has made a re-
Imarkably fine record In the army but
is exceedingly modest in relating his
experiences. In December of 1917
he was sent overseas from Camp
Doniphan with an advance detail and
was placed in the reclamation and
claims service. In April he received
his first lieutentancy and In May he
reioined the 35th Division when 1t
arrived and was placed in command
of Company e, of the 139th Infanty
In the second battalion, of which
Company II was also part. He was
In command of this company during
the sector warfare and during the
battle of the Argonne. Immediately
after the Argonne, Lieutenant Lu-
cier was promoted to the rank of
captain and placed in command OF
Headquarters company and at the
same time he received a letter from
the brigade commander, commencing
him for his splendid work in action.
CAPTAIN Lucier says Company II
was first on the Moosch sector, then
in the Wesserling and Geradner sec
tors, the st. Mihiel reserve and then
in the Argonne offensive from Sep
tember 26 to October and then on
the Verdun sector, When the armis-
tice was signed the division was
moving up for an attack on Metz and
it was to have been placed almost In
the center, directly before Metz. He
said 1t might be possible to tell OF
some individual acts Of heroism but
each man did so much and the COM
pany as a whole made such fine
record thruout its service it would
be unfair to the rest to do so.
Captain Lucier's orderly was Pc
dro, an Italian by birth, who Is ac-
complished in playing the accordian
and has made several records for the
Victor company, and also figured in
story by William Allen White. For
few days after the Argonne drive
Pedro was lost but he had just been
over with the 91st Division. He con-
tinued in command of Headquarters
company during the remainder of his
service. 1t is the largest company
in the division and has 3S6 men and
nine officers.

strong team this year and their sue

forts OF the boys in faithful training.
Everyone is proud Of the fact that
Garfield ia able to pass to the high
school some splendid material to help
them in their coming victories.

service for humanity. Capt. Ralph
Lucier responded saying that morale
was the substance of the armys
strength and that 1t was high with
the men present because they knew
the folks at home were behind them.
It was CHEEKY and feeling talk and
won hearty applause.
A violin solo by Mrs. Lucier,
reading by Mrs. Brooks, a solo by
Miss Lucier and "Good Bye, Boys

Afterward was the band concert

stand for the Salina orchestra was
erected in the center. Hundreds OF
couples danced until midnight while
the streets and sidewalks We're

Altogether 1t was a most success
