Were Comrades
Through the War
Arthur Wittensten and Victor Holm.
gren, Two Warren Boys, returned
Home From France Friday.

Arthur Wittensten and Victor Holm
gren arrived home last Friday from ser
vice in the U. s. Army in France. The
two young men enlisted at the same
time in Company at CrOOkstOn in the
summer Of 1917 and they have been for
tunate in being together during their
entire army career, without either of
them receiving as much as scratch,
altho they often were in the thick Of
the fighting, with bullets and shrapnel
falling all around them.
From Crookston they went to Camp
Cody, New Mexico, for training, re-
naming there until in June, 1918, when
they left for overseas, arriving in
France July Is, 1918, at the very turn
ing point in the war, when the allies
aided by the Americans were driving
the Germans back from Chateau
Thierry. Although belonging to the
artillery they were brigaded with the
Infantry and took part in the second
battle Of the Marine on July 2Sth. After
this battle they were transferred back
to the ammunition train and took part
In the advance on Ourcq and Vesle in
the Meuse-Argonne offensive, Thiacourt
sector, about the middle Of August,
1918. They served with the ammuni-
ton train until the end of the war.
Their work was to rush ammunition to
the troops and guns at the front-a
very risky business as they had to get
into the danger zone and were good
targets for enemy bullets.
Arthur Wittensten is son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Wittensten, Of this city.
Victor Holmgren is son Mr.. and
Mrs. Axel Holmgren, also Of this city.
Both young men are glad to have the
experience they have acquired, but they
have no desire to go through again
what they saw and experienced in
France, and they are very glad and
thankful to be home again among their
friends in the good old U. s. A. They
landed in Philadelphia on May 18th and
arrived home last Friday.

Two Brothers Return
From the War
Dana and Chauncey Easten, Two War
rem Boys, Arrive Home on Tuesday
Moning-Both We're Wounded, One
Seriously.

Dana ana Chauncey EaStOn, sons of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. Easton, of this city,
returned home together aon Tuesday
morning this week. Both have faced
dangers and experienced thrills that do
not always fall to the lot Of soldiers.
Chauncey enlisted at Minneapolis in
December, 1917, going first to Jefferson
Barracks, then to Camp Green, where
he Joined the 18th Infantry, and then on
to Camp Stewart, from which he sailed
April 5, and landed at Brest, France,
April 10, 1913. He entrained at
Gnlancourt May 81, and went to take
line at Chateau Thierry June LIST. He
was on this line when the great Ger
man offensive took place and helped to
drive them back July Is and 16. On
July - the Marine was crossed and on
July % Chauncey was wounded, re-
ceiving shrapnel cuts on arm, the Amer
leans having then advanced Is miles,
with severe fighting every day. After
being wounded he went back to base
hospital No. %, at Contrexville, and
when discharged from there was sent
to a displacement camp near Toul, and
from said camp he was transferred to
the 28th Division, which he joined in
the Argonne forest, where the bloodiest
battles of the war were fought. After
taking part in these battles he went
back behind the lines in the st. Mihiel
sector, where he trained for two weeks,
and was then transferred to the Gillian
court sector on which he served until
the end of the war. He left St.
Nazaire, France, April 80, landed at
Philadelphia, Mag IL, and took part in
the Division parade in that city May
Is. He was discharged at Camp Dodge
May Oath.
Dana Easton, the elder of the two
brothers, has had even more thrilling
experience in the war and is thankful
that he got out of it. alive. He was
wounded in the Ourcq river fighting
about August LIST last year, receiving
two machine gun bullets in the hip, and
was left lying on the battlefield for two
days before he was found. While he
was lying thus in dazed condition
suffering from his wounds with attend
ant loss Of blood and enduring also
hunger and thirst, German bullets and
schrapnel fell thick and fast all around
him and he received two other machine
gun bullets in the ankle, one shrapnel
wound in the calf of the leg and an
other schrapnel wound below the hip.
Since then Dana has spent about ten
months in various hospitals. He ar
rived in the United States about the
first of the year. After receiving
treatment at the Camp Custer Base
hospital for some time, he improved
sufficiently to be transferred to Fort
Smelling, where he still is under medi-
cal care. He came home on a fifteen
day furlough, both brothers meeting for
the first time at Minneapolis, since
they entered the army, and came home
together. It is believed now that the
injurer leg can be saved, although for
a long time amputation was thought
necessary. Both young men are glad to
have their army experience, but they do
not care to go through again what they
have seen and exDerienced

LISTEN TO THE CHOIR

We are informed by an estima- ble public official that at Monterey recentlv a number of Mexlcans joined himlin singing the Star spar gled Banner. This fact he presents ss proof that the Mexicans are an amiable pkople and do not make border raids.
 Unfortunately the best t can proye that there are some me&l' cans who do not make border raid wb;le they are singing the Stai Snanyled Banner with this estimaoie official. But while they are thus fraternizing there were other men- cans who were murdering an Amer ;can and subjecting his wife to gross indignities. s,,
 It does not prove that all mexi. cans are amiable. It does no' nroye that any of them are. Sing inp the Star Spangled Banner IS not proof of a lofty impulse. It may be .camoufiage. But, at best, what is the use of few of them singlng the s. s. B. at Monterey while there are swarms of them elsewhere just waiting for an opportunity to sit an Amercan throat and pillage A. merican property?
 We are supposed to be friendly with Carranza's government. He has an army of about 60,000 and claims to rule a population of 15,- 100000. That population contains several rebel factions, each with pretensions to the control of certain portinos of Mexico. Any polite ment which we may show to the Carranza government-any act of to a slur on the clans of all of the other factions. And one or more of these factions retaliate by mur- dering a few more Americans. It is safer than to murder some of Ca ranza's party.
 As matteer of fact, about the saf- est thing any one can do in Mexico is murder an American and brutal ize his wife and daughters.
 And our amiable public official assumes a benevolent attitude and solemnly assures us that Mexicans sang the s. s. B. with him. The wonder is that they failed to slit his throat at the last word

BLONDES DYING
 OUT IN AMERICA
Big Wars Gradually Eliminate Northern Types, Says
 Ethnolo9ist.
DAY OF BRUNETTE AT HAND
American Women Arc Tending to Neu- traI Type. With Brown Rather Than Golden HaIr and Brown
 Eyes instead Of Blue.

New York.-The blondes are doomed as a result of the world warl
 They will be swallowed up-raciaily by the brunettes.
 Real blonde Americans Ere beccn,- ing fewer. American women are tend ing to a neutral type. with brown rsth- CT than golden hair and brown eyes instead of blue. This foreshadows the triumph of the still darker bru- nette type in America. where the old strains of northern European blood are being swallowed by the later immigra- ton to this country. Soon a blonde beauty will be an exception. and American beauty" will mean the Span ish. French or Italian type.
 Such Is the prediction, expressed in scientific language, of course, of Madi- son Grant. trustee of the American Museum of Natural History and coun- cilI of the American Geographical so- ciety. who has made a study of the effect of the war, superimposed on cen turies of slow progression on the part O. the brunette, in his book, "The Pass ing of the Great Race" published by Scribner's.
 Makes Matters Worse.
 The world war, he says, has made matters worse for the blonde because 1t is the blonde Nordic element In all peoples that invariably makes the greatest sacrifices in war, while the less energetic brunette element emerges from each world struggle stronger In number than before.
 Up to the middle of the nineteenth century the native American. Mir. Grant points out. was the almost purely Nor die. The Civil war destroyed large part of the breeding stock of the blonde races. and the Immigration since then has been largely from the Mediterranean basin and the Balkans.
 Mir. Grant believes that the destruc- ton of life of the blondes in the pres snt war has been so immensely great CT than that of the brunette that a great step has been taken in wlping out the blonde type.
 "The world war will leave Europe much poorer in Nordic blood" he says. He points out how the blonde race has been absorbed by the brunette all over the world, and cites the Aryan conquerors of northern India, who im- posed their language and customs on the natives. but were swallowed up In the darker stream of blood He thinks that the same thing win happen in the United States. ana that the only hope of a relatively pure type of blonde community is in northwest Canada, which because of its climate Is suitable for the blonde types and unsuitable for the brunettes.
