Decorah Boy Who did His. Bit in
France Writes an Interesting
Letter to His Sister
PROUD OF ALL
THE IOWA BOYS
Says 1t Will Sure be Some Big Day
When the Iowa Boys all Get
Back Home Again
lie Mans, France
Feb. 20, 1919

Dear Sister:-Just a few lines to
let you know that / am all o. K.
and sure hope that you are all the
same. Say l have not had a letter
for so long that I don't know any
thing about how things are at home,
and all | can 70 is just hope all is
good. Believe e am all o. K. and
my health j. dst as good as the day
/ came oV !, and that is saying a
big thing, at that, but it's all so. Just
think sister last year this time things
did not look as good as its looking
Just at present, and there were times
sure did think that I was never
going to see home. Just think of all
the boys from old Decorah that are
rot going to get home. Most of them
are left at Chateau Thierry. l will
never forget them and the last time
saw them. You remember last year
this time we were first in the trench
es. Believe me we sure put in some
long and cold nights in them. The
hard days are over and l am coming
home, and say its not long I sure do
believe l will spend my birthday in
good old America. Say that sure will
be some big day when the Iowa boys
IL get back. Believe me am sure
getting sick of France and my days
are getting long, but few, and l sure
will be glad when I can say that
am in the good old U. S. A. France
is alright, but not for me. 1t has
been raining all winter, and most of
last summer, and when you say its
IA Ii sun in France, it's not. But its all
as say, all we are thinking of is
home, and tnat is all the talk in
camp. l am sure anxious to find out
how things are at home, but by the
looks of all things 1 am not going
to get much mail. But at that | am
glad that I can say that l was in it
all l could help to win the war, and
think all the good folks in good old
Iowa all know that the boys from
Iowa played the game right, and
stayed by it up to the last.
Say l am writing too much war.
The war is over and the last fight |
was in was at the Verdun front. 1t
sure was some front too. l sure
would like to have you see 1t. Believe
me you would sure see thing that
you never would forget. never VIII.
1 lost my friend up there. We were
en- outpost. Believe me a good frien |
was hard to keep in this hard old
war Say it is getting late and ! am
sleepy, and say I sure do some Sleep
ing too, as that's ave to do,
sleep and eat. Say / sure will not
sleep much the first days when
get back l must close for this time.
hoping you are all o. X. AMI that I
will be home soon. With love to all,
Your brother

The Little Gold Stripe.

In our good little A. E. F. papers
We see they are going to make us
boys take off the only mark We have
to show that we were over here. Now
big things arn't noticed as much as
some small things. There is one
small thing that is noticed on an Am
erican soldier from across the pond,
who fought and bled for the folks
back home. That little thing is V
shaped gold stripe on our left sleeve.
1t is called a SERVICE STRIPE
Now the folks back home in God s
country have done a great deal for
Us. We, the A. E. F. boys ask one
thing. Let us wear them on our re-
turn home. Can't you help us in
some way?
We know they are yellow, but the
boys who wear them are not yellow.
We have proven that, haven't We?
We think great deal of our stripes.
Why shouldn't we? Now they are
going to take them away.
Is it right? If not publish this in
behalf of the boys of the American
Expiditionary forces.
We're coming home 'some day.

was wounded in the Chateau ThieGry
drive last July and suffered the loss
of his right leg, below the knee. He
was given the best OF care and the
surgeons have fTed rim out with an
artificial limb, and h is able 10 get
around in good shape. He went thru
an awful fight, and had some 80
wounds. After he was Wounded ne

layed on the stretcherN until the shell

The band and a large delegation
of people were at the Rock Island
fdepot' MOnd1y evening. A fine pro-
gram had been planned by the Odd
Fellows for Saturday evening, but
the high water prevented the train
getting in, and Clifford was compell-
ed to stay at Calmar until Monday
when the Rock Island got a train
through. He was given a great re-
ception on his arrival anyway. The
band led the procession from tho
depot up town and Clifford proceed

the reception planned for him had 10
be postponed that evening. FIe is

Dear Sister Melvina:
Well as l haven't written you for
sometime l thought 1 would write
you few lines today, as this being
Washington's birthday we have not
much to do. They are having field
meeting today, but I didn't go on ac-
count of my shoes being pretty poor
and it is pretty wet and muddy, as it
has been raining night and day for
the last week. This is surely some
country for rain. Never saw anything
like it.
Well dear sister | am feeling fine
most all the time. Once in while
| feel my rheumatism, but am getting
along first rate. do hope that you
are all having good health, as
surely am worrying about you on ac-
count of not receiving any mail. 1t
is surely some mail service 1t is now
pretty near six months since l last
heard from home, so you can't blame
you are getting my letters so you
don't have to worry about me.
Well ! suppose you know by this
time that l am attached to the 37th
Division. Have been with them now
for two weeks and l am the only one
from Decorah here in this company,
hut thara aro uuita n faw from, NV
old company so we are having pretty
good times all the same. There has
been some talk about this division
going home soon, but I don't know
when, as you can't tell very much
about what is going to happen. We
are here today and somewhere else
tomorrow. That is the life N the
army. We have been hiking some
these last weeks. Keep moving from
one place to another all the time.
We have been moving toward the
coast these last days, so here is
hoping that some day will come in
the near future when we can say
good bye to France. But we can't
i TELL We might stay here some time
yet and 1 wouldn't care so much if
only could get some of my mail. l
don't think is is much use for you to
write me any more, as it is nothing
but waste of stamps. But / would
give a whole lot for just one letter
! from home so | could see how you
all are.
l am kind of short of paper so
have to write on both sides. Well We
had some cold weather ther last
month. But it is not so bad now,
cnly too much rain to suit me. am
now staying in an old house. think
| it must be a hundred years old by
the looks of it, although it Is not
such bad place after all, not for a
soldier. Well what do you know
about it, the sun is coming out.
haven't seen it for some weeks, so
think l better do some washing this
afternoon, as I have not done my
washing for sometime and Monday
we have inspection so We have to be
clean. Well as news is kind or
scarce so think I will have to close
soon. Hope these poorly written lines
will find you all in good health and
humor. Sending you all my best
wishes and regards and give my re-
CARDS to Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzsimmons
and C. Aasen, and to all my old
friends, that is if l have any, Ha.
Ha! With love to you all, l remain
your loving brother,

Shut the Door.

Sibley Tribune: We have too
many persons of un-American sem
timents in this country. The melting
pot has been overloaded. The door
should be shut on ordinary fmmigra-
tion for at least a decade until we
can catch up with the work of as
similation. Europe will be an un-
pleasant place Of residence for years
to come and there will be thousands
who want to emigrate. The man
power over there has been decimat-
ed and the survivors Of the war will
be needed to repair wars ravages.
We do not desire to draw away the
strength from our allies in their
time Of need, and certainly We do
not want to welcome our late enemies
We have too many of them now. The
millions OF men we are releasing
from military service will need the
jobs in this country and should not
be brought into competition with
those who forsake their own lands
in distress and shirk their duty to the
homes Of their birth. Shut the door!
