The women of Idaho have suppor-

characterizes the brave women of the
west and they realize that although
the fighting at the front is ended
there remains great task before 1t
can be said that the war is over.
In former Liberty loans they have
given splendid support and in the

will be the last, they can be relied
upon to come forward with enthusi-

AMERICAN FALLS BOY
HOME FROM OVERSEAS,
Served on Mexican Border and Four
teen Months In France with tht
1l6th Engineers.

Sergeant Earl S. Dutro arrived
home about a week ago from overseas
where he served with the 1l6th en-
eineers. He was stationed at Anglers
in a replacement camp, where there
we're about $4,000 men. Although he
never went over the top he was under
fire at times, when he was sent to the
front in charge of replacement men.
One of these occasions was during the
great Argonne battle. The obsta-
cles our boys had to overcome there,
he said, can not be imagined. the
GeImans had been in possession OF the
forest for four years and had holes
dug for protection all through the
forest. elaborate dugouts, trenches
and wire entanglements, They had
machine guns located everywhere,
even mounted in concealed positions
in trees, where the gunners could look
down on the American forces and
pick them off in places where they
would have been out of danger from
guns located on the ground. In the
thick underbrush on the hillsides the
enemy had machine guns and guns OF
| large caliber in great numbers.
There has been some criticism on
account of the number OF men lost
in the Argonne battle" he said, but
anyone who knows the conditions
there knows there was no other way
TO win. Our boys had to go agains
endless numbers of concealed anC
protected machine guns and an en-
trenched enemy who was confiden
that his position was impregnable
The loss was not heavy when the con
! ditions are understood"
While Earl was at Anglers Law

General Pershing reviewed my di-
vision-the 41st-at Brest on Febru-
ary l. My regiment stood ankle deep
in mud for four hours and Is minutes
waiting for the general. We (the mud
hens) do not blame the chief for our
standing there, but we do blame the
commander who was directly respon-
sible for the camp.
Taking resume of the whole case
/ see these conclusions: Blame, for
the exposure of troops was partially
due to lack of foresight of the general
staff. an partially to the elements.
Weather reports show it rains 1893
days out of a possible S65 days. The
shortage of material for constructing
good barracks must be charged to the
commanding general. He was in
position to requisition sufficient ma
terial for adequate building. The
mess problem was a sad affair, and
only can be directly charged to the
camp officers.
