BEN CROWLEY VISITS
HOME CITY AFTER
Il YEARS ABSENCE

Ben Crowley, the youngest Of the
Crowley boys" brought Up in this
city, returned yesterday after an ap-
sence of eleven years. He found no
body who knew him. He has grown
into a tail, broad shouldered young
man. He found that Phoenix had
grown too, but there were certain
landmarks by which he could identi-
fly it. But he had outgrown most of
the Crowley landmarks. though sew
eral citizens found something familiar
in his face.
He has for a long time been con-
nected with the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank of Los Angeles, and at
present is teller in the department of
railway funds. 1t has been eleven
years since he was in Phoenix. He
will remain three or four days and
see something of the fair, though he
did not know that the fair was to be
held now until he was thrown into
the great crowds on the trains, all

CAPTAIN A. F. HARTER
RETURNS HOME FROM
LONG ARMY SERVICE

Captain A. F. Harter of 726 East
Culver street returned to his home yes
terday after more than two years SER
vice overseas.
Many men of recognized ability who
contributed in their share to the down
fall of the Germans did so after having
been placed in positions of trust wholly
foreign to their training and expert
ence. Not SO with Captain Harter. En-
listing in the engineer corps he was
ordered to Camp Lee Virginia for in
tensive military training. After three
months at this engineering school he
was sent to France and Immediately
placed in charge of the construction
and maintenance of military roads in
the zone of operations.
OF all the tasks assigned the Amey-
lean army that of keeping the lines Of
communication open was the most try
ing. Transportation was as necessary
as men and munitions therefore roads
had to be kept open and in repair fol-
the vast army of men and supplies tC
go over. This Herculean task coulC
not be assigned to officers who had ha6
no experience in this particular work
Only skilled road engineers were en-
ployed and their skill was measured b.
the results obtained. So for two Ions
years Captain Harter has been devot
ing his time, energy and experience il
the construction of roads which mad
it possible for the American army t
make the rapid strides it did.
At times this work carried him t
the first line trenches and on his breas
he wears the bronze stars of two majo
engagements and between these tn
silver citation star. On one occasion
! for two days and nights his comman
was cut off from all communication
subjected to cross fire from the Ger
mans on two sides and the Unite
States troops in the rear. With I'm
armed noncombatant troops, withou
/ the protection of dugouts, he RENAME
I until he realized that the entire com
mand would be cut to pieces unless
| could be gotten out. This he did with
out being ordered to do so and afte
having extricated his men from thi
trying position with small loss of lii
i his major, who had happened to be
the rear at the time, reprimanded hi
for moving without orders and told hiI
that he was subject to court martif

percentage of casualties, and the e
fective work he and his command ha

spent his entire professional life in
railroad and highway construction
Prior to leaving for France he was
connected with the city in the con-
struction of it's paved streets and aft
erward was with the state engineer in
charge of highway construction.
He is a thorough road builder and an
engineer of executive ability and it IS
to be hoped that he will decide to make
Arizona his future home although it is
known that he has had very flatterinS
offers to go elsewhere.
