ARIZONA BOYS HAVE SEEN MANY COUNTRIES, AND THEY ARE LONG ING EARNESTLY TO GET BACK HOME.
(From Tuesdax.s Dailx.l


 The H'assayamper fever has again b1oken out "overthere", and two let ters received from Prescott soldier boys in different commands would indicate that they have been innocu- lated with the home virus that can not be eliminated from the system. Sergeant H. L. Richards, formerly a pharmacist with the Heil drug store, writes Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Drew as follows, from Levgnan, France:
 My Dear Friends: You cannot imagine the thrills of joy felt when learning from Ransom that you had extended the hospitality of your home to me in the event of my re-- turning to Prescott After many years of wandering since completing my education have finally selected Prescott as the ideal spot in which 70 live, and also for business reasons. II have always contended that Ari- zona is the young mans country and :he northern section appealed to me from the beginning. If excellent health, boundless enthusiasm and business experience get their reward. [ am looking ahead to that section. We have every reason to believe that Dur regiment is to embark for the U. ,. in the near future, and when I land rest assured it will be bee-line or yours truly to Prescott Thank ng you kindly for your good wishes.
 Sincerely,
 "SERGT. H. L. RICHARDS.

He alone of all the men aboard did not
seem overwhelmed with the Joy of the
Homecoming.
On his tunic he wore the ribbons which
showed he had won the Croix de Guerre
with palm and the Distinguished Service
Cross. Some one asked him IL he were
Manhattanite.
81 suppose So" he said uncertainty.
IT don't think IL occurred to me during
the last few months that have or
harvent q home now-not until we came
up the river and saw the skyscrapers."
He was Lieut.. Harold NJ. Landon, It
was learned, and he had been in the real
estate business when America entered
the war. Then he had promptly closed his
desk and had Joined Col Bayward's regi-
ment. At that time his mother. Mrs. Ed
ward NJ. Landon, niece OF Levi L.
Morton, former Governor of New York
and Vice. President OF the United States,
and her two daughters were doing Red
Cross work in France.
Mother Killed in Church.
Lieut. Landon sailed for France with
the old Fifteenth. Shortly after he ar
rived in France he was sent to a French
training camp. On the day before last
Easter he saw a French newspaper in
which were listed the names of the men,
women and children killed by the long
range German gun while worshipping
! in a Paris church on the previous day,
Good Friday. Well up on the list of
killed were the names OF Lieut.. Lam
don's mother and two sisters.
Lieut.. Landon went to Paris and saw
TO the funeral arrangements OF his
mother and sisters. Then he went to
the front with Col Hayward's regiment
TO do real fighting How well he fought
may be Judged from the decorations he
won. From September 26 to october l
continuously he worked twenty-four
hours a day as runner, establishing
a liason line In the Champagne under
frightful fire.
"Oh don't know where my address
Ia now" he said with sad little smile.
We used to live before the war at 40
East Fifty first street. but my sisters
and my mother are gone now. Isn't 1t
strange that l should go through all the
fighting and come out uninjured and
my mother and sisters should he killed?
| I suppose I shall live at the Yale Club.
I don't know.

The Lieutenant and his Colonel. the
SCARED and decorated blacks they COM
manded, all Of them ate Red Cross rolls
and drank Red Cross coffee on the pier
for a while. Then they went by tug
boat and train to Camp Upton where
they Joined the first battalion Of the
regiment. which arrived here few
days ago.
1t is probable that Col. Hayward's
regiment will be mustered out OF the
service shortly. but when when the great
day arrives when the city turns out to
welcome her own and see them march
