several thousand of the Goth division

friendly visitations were ever pres

It is interesting to study the diner
ent types of men that compose the
army. Some OF the men brought back
with them all manner of souvenirs
while others discarded everything ex-
cept what they had to bring. Some
az the men carried 120 pounds besides
a big suit case. All of the S8th and 9oth
brought their guns with them. These
each weighed 9Aa pounds. They car
,ried these rifles long ways only to
tnrn them over to the arsenal when
they reached Camp Dodge.

u. S. TO Pay Risk on "Ftu" Victim
Lawrence G. O'Brien,. who brought
suit against the United States to re-
cover life insurance taken out by ms
son Victor L. p. O'Brien, is to receive
the money, according to word received
by g. G.. Moon, federal attorney
Victor O'Brien had taken out his in
surance, it was claimed, while serious
" Ill with Spanish influenza OF which
he died. The government at first re-
fused to pay the insurance but in the
letter received by Mr.. Moon it is
stated that the department or justice
did not consider the defense tenabie
and had ordered the payment OF the
policy.
This probably means that the gov.
ernment intends to adopt the pollcy OF
paying all insurance regardless OF
conditions under which 1t was taken
out 1t also clears the situation re-
garding influenza victims.
Bio Concert July 9TH
Members of the 168th regiment band
now on q tour of the state, plan to
give q big celebration, including a
dance and musical program at tae
Coliseum on the evening of July 80.
They will be assisted in their enter
tainment by the Blue Devil quartet.
According to tentative plans. which
have received the sanction of the city,
the program will start at 7:15 o'clock
with band oncert. Dancing VIII
begin at 8 CLOCK and will continue
throughout the evening but during the
dancing special numbers will be given
to entertain the audience in the bal
cony and gallery.
Many Men Arriving
Now that the divisions and regl'
ments that most concerned Iowa peo-
ple have arrived interest is tagging
somewhat but the men are still COM
ing. Every day several hundred ar
rive and the relatives from this and
adjoining states get an inkling OF the
home coming and they come here in
large numbers to be ready for the big
event. Young mothers whose hus-
bands have never seen the little sprigs
of humanity that they bear in their
arms afford d most interesting study.
We saw father grasp his offspring
for the first time and he was the
proudest man in the regiment-except
numerous others who had the same
experience.
