YAVAPAI OFFICER WAS THERE AT
 THE FINISH
CAPT. GARY BLOCK WAS ON FIRING LINE IN AC- TON, WHEN HUN WHITE FLAG WENT UP; WRITES FATHER HERE.
CFrom Tuesdays DaiIvl

Writing to his father, Ed Block of Prescott, Captain Gary E. Block, now in Germany, has the following to say of the windup of the Hun, the letter being dated in Belgium on No vember P:
 Have been on the jump and on the go, which accounts for my not having written you lately. My com mand was in the last big drive, .di- rectly west of Verdun. Then, on the morning the war ended, while we were in action and on the firing line, we took several towns on the east bank of the Mouse river, when the order came to cease firing After that we waited week and started for Germany There are only ten of our divisions going over the Rhine so it is quite an honor to be one of them
 "This section of Belgium is beauti- ful and the people are very nosplt- able. They are certainly very grate- ful to us and go out of they way to do us a good turn. All of the towns are decorated with evergreens and all kinds of homemade flags. The Germans took about everything with them that was loose, including cloth of all kinds, so they must have had q hard time making flags and had to use rags of all kinds for that pur' pose. The Germans even took the brass plates off from the key holes in the doors. In fact all the people have left is what they had hidden, which is very little. The one good thing is that very few towns in this particular section have been destroy ed, however they have burned a few of them. Tomorrow is Thanksgiv- ing and while we nave lot to be thankful for, piece of turkey would look a lot better than canned beef."

in the St. Elmo freight room until

to get his paper out weekly the best

that region knows that there was
not two dozen people living there in
