Iowa Boys Who Lived for Eighteen
Months on the Fields of Battle
Called Most Courageous
Men Who Ever Fought
NUMBER DEBORAH BOYS
WERE IN THE 16STH
Says They Advanced When They
Knew 1t Meant Certain Death,
and Fought On With Little
Complaint

1t was my privilege to serve the
best, the most coura geous men who
ever fought.
Thus Chaplain Winifred Robb of
the One Hundred Sixty-eighth regi-
ment characterized the Iowa lads,
with whom he lived for eighteen
months on the fields of battle, speak
ing before the Des Moines Credit
Men at the Harris-Emery tearoom,
Wednesday night.
"In all history men have never
gone forth to meet such awful des-
truction as these men met, when
Arrangement meant certain death.
They went as volunteers into this
awful carnage-this, wholesale mur-
der.
They loved life.
They had ambition to live and to
succeed
They cherished hope, but they
went into the face of death and they
met it courageously and bravely.
There is nothing glorious about
war 1t was the most terrible, gigant-
ic, devilish thing it is possible to
imagine.
81 buried $50 of my very best
friends in four days. 1 have seen
their heads blown from their bodies
and bowl into the backs of their COM
RAIDS, just like a game of nine pins.
4 have gathered up arms, legs and
heads, thrown them in to a blanket
and buried them.
Let us here resolve that the lives
of these men who were snuffed out
shall be an incentive to us to live
for America, that most glorious land
God has ever given free people in
which to live"
Chaplain Robb told the story Of
the One Hundredth Sixty-eighth regi-
ment from the beginning to the end.
The description of the Chateau
Thierry drive was full of heroism
of the Iowa lads.
I'VE were relieved by the Twen-
ty-sixth after suffering the loss OF
$4,000 men. We broke the boche
drive, countered for a gain of four
! teen kilometers and took hundreds
| of prisoners. But we were sick Of
/ the result. We had left, after this
battle, 710 men out of the 3,705
which you sent away from the fair
grounds The streams were strewn
with dead bodies No water was fit
! to drink and We had no water for
two days. Men offered 50 for a
can of bully beef
"But these men from Iowa
marched when they left their blood
in their paths; went out under GER
tain death to carry messages even
against the order of officers, or to
rescue their wounded comrads.
They were shelled on the march
and bombed while at rest. They
slept in wet blankets in the bottom
of their shelter trenches, yet they
dreamed of Iowa and fought on with
little complaint.
""And now those who were spared
are back! Let us reason in our sober
second thought and see to it that the
nation gets together so that never
again will we have to send them back
to war unless 1t be to police the
world. Let us see that no other han
dit power arises, drunk with power.
to again endanger the democracy of
the world"

ans of 81. Procession
Forms at Ten O'clock
DIR. F.,W. CONOVER WILL
DELIVER MEMORIAL ADDRESS
In the Afternoon a Military Program
VIII be Given on the Luther
College Campus

Next Friday, May 80, is Me-
mortal Day, and it will be observed
in Decorah by one of the finest pro-
grams in years.
Major L. L. Caldwell, chairman of
the memorial day committee has is
sued the program of the day, and it
will be noted that our returned
world war soldiers are on the pro-
gram, and it is hoped that all the
soldiers who have returned here,
either from service in this country
or on foreign shores will take part
in the parade. 1t will be impossible
to extend a personal invitation to all
the boys, as it would be impossible
to secure the names and addresses
of all those returned. At any rate it
is the hope of the committee that all
the boys will turn out in uniform on
Memorial Day and march with the
veterans Of 81, so we hope that every
soldier of this community who reads
these lines will join in the parade
on Memorial Day.
In the afternoon a fine program
will be staged on the Luther Col
lege campus, the program of which
appears in another column. After
the military event takes place a
base ball game will be played be-
tween st. Joseph's College and
Luther.

The other day they'let contract
tor plain concrete paving at s2.72 a
yard, which is much too high" de-
clares the Cedar Rapids Republican.
"No concrete pavement is worth that
much, unless IL contains something
better than soft stone. which may be
largely dust of the clay variety. If a
dollar were taken off that price per
yard it would be still high enough
and at least half of that amount
ought to come out of the cement that
is used"

Speaking of the American Legion
the Cedar Rapids Gazette says II
"will not play politics; it will watch
politics. 1t will not put forth candi'
dates for high office; it will watch
and investigate the candidates that
are put forth elsewhere. If it gets in
to politics at all it will get in for
the purpose of championing the sort
of citizenship the fighting men o.
this nation exemplified as they did
on the fields of France, the sort that
is willing to give all for country
rather than take all.

PILEDRIVER DAMAGED
ON FAIRBANKS GRADE

A piledriver belonging to the AL
askan Engineering commission, in
use near Mile 432, on the Nenana-
Fairbanks line, was considerably
damaged by fire last night and the
work of driving piles in that neigh
borhood will be delayed several days
in consequence. The fire occurred
between midnight and morning and
almost completely consumed the en-
gine-house, letting the engine drop
into the creek
There are only eleven more piles
to be driven on the Fairbanks line.
