Denison Boys Anxious to Return
Relatives of the Denison boys of the
Rainbow division have received letters
this week from Upton. The boys are
anxious to get started on the last lap
OF their journey home. The delay at
Upton has been anything but pleasing
to these veterans OF. SO many battles
for they are anxious to see the "home
folks"
The delay is said to be due to the
shortage OF passenger coaches. The
railroads have been taxed to their ca
pacity, in the work of rehabilitation
and 1t is a great problem to secure
enough coaches and sleeping cars for
transportation from the eastern camps
west.
Bio Welcome for Veterans
All Denison will turn hand to give
these veterans Of the world war a
rOusing welcome on their arrival in
Denison. No matter on what day or
the hour Of their coming the business
houses will close their doors and ev-
eryOne go to the station to greet the
men,
The program for the homecoming
is entirely in the hands Of the dis
charged soldiers, marines and sailors
who have held two meetings during
the past week to make the arrange
ments.
On Monday evening some thirty re.
turned men met at the court house, at
which time the program was prac-
ticaily arranged. A committee made
up of Clarence Schwarzenbach, Jacob
johnson and August Christensen, was
selected to make the necessary ar
rangements.
One Of the big features Of the home
coming will be an exhibition drill by
the returned men. Lieut.. Ed Lehman
and Lieut.. Morris Wilkinson will COM
mand the men. They will march in
body to the station where the crowd
will be kept back from the train to
