entered service. This was the first
and last battle that the Moliner par
ticipated in or ever cares to. ac-
cording to his own statement.
That's enough" says Jaap.
The Moline hero received two
wound stripes and had them sewed
on his uniform by a Red Cross
worker in a hospital in Venice.
When he left the hospital Jaap
turned the uniform in TO the quar-
termaster's department. Upon his
return to the United States he
wrote and asked permission to get
back the uniform with the wound
stripes sewed upon the sleeve. II
seems, however, that this was i'm
possible and that the local hero will
have to be content with the substi-
tute stripes which he has received
from the war department One is
of blue, the other of gold. But
Jap doesn't seem TO care. He is
glad to be back in Moline and
claims he'd much rather wear blue
serge.

Wounded seventeen times, deaf

ARGONNE FOREST
DRIVE WAS SURE
FOR REAL BLOOD

ct was a sure fight for blood in
the Argonne forest" writes Lieu
tenant David E. Freeman, Moline
physician, who went through this
forest drive the last week of the
war. Lieutenant Freeman is
member OF the Three Hundred and
Fifth infantry and his praise for
the doughbOys as they drove
through deaths forest is ming
led with still more honor &c the
wounded who bravely and cn~-rful-
ly faced the worst
The Argonne forest drive will
ever be remembered by Americans
who were in it," he writes. The
fighting sure was for blood. The
Argonne forest was a key to the
Boche defense. 1t had been held
by the BoChe for four years and eff
forest by the French previous to
this had been of no avail.
However, it had 10 be done and
the Americans did it. The Boche
had been in the woods such a long
time that they had constructed
most elaborate dug-outs. Some of
them 30 and 90 feet deep, contain
ing many rooms, electrically light
ed and equipped with baths. They
really lived III style in those dug
outs and l don't wonder that they
were reluctant to leave. One Ger
man major said the American
officers must have been crazy and
the men drunk to have attempted
TO drive through the Argonne.
no of oil Of nrhl
impressed me was the way the boys
bore their injuries. Never once cid
they complain. They always smiled,
asked for a cigaret and asked if
they had a lucky blighty or not. An
aid station would be full of wound
ed and even then you would hear
no complaints. Truly, the Ameri-
can dOughboy, is some brave lad"

MONUMENT FOR
BOYS PROPOSED
Rotary Suggests Paving OF Drive
and Planting OF Trees for
Each Service Man.

Members of the Moline Rotary
club yesterday pledged themselves
to undertake a proposed movement
as a tribute to Moline district SOL
diers and sailors. The proposition
being considered is to pave River
drive from Twenty-fifth street to
WATERFOWL with asphalt and plant
trees along the drive, one for every
soldier and sailor who went from
the Moline district to fight and to
each tree give a soldier or sailor
name.
FuIfillment of the plan will mean
an expenditure of from $4,000 to
$4,000 The club has pledged itself
to realize the plan, and the follow
ing suggestions to see the improve
ment through were made before
adjournment of the meeting:
The property owners should and
in all probability would be willing
to pay their share of the improve
ment
State aid might be forthcoming,
a part of the s60,0OO,0OO state bond
issue for good roads being appro-
priated to the improvement
People of the Moline district,
anxious to provide a memorial to
the boys who went forth to fight
their battles for them, would be
called on to contribute any sum to
make up the deficit"
Another suggestion is made that
the Moline Fourth of July celebra-
ton this year be planned as a trib-
ute 20 the boys who gave their lives
and to those who came back. Which
of the suggestions will be worked
on is undecided, but the Rotarians
are determined that one, possibly
the first mentioned, will be success
fully carried out.
