Desires to Welcome Them

Miss Shirley k1er has received
newspaper clipping from THE Paris
Herald, sent by her brother, Wayland
Kier, which says that three cities in
America desire to welcome home the
32d division. The item says:
Three American cities want to wei
come home the famous 32nd Division
which is now occupying a front-line
sector in the Third Army's Coblent2
bridgehead The 32nd Division is com
posed of Wisconsin and Michigan
National Guardsmen, and was one OF
the first divisions sent overseas. All
OF its original members now wear two
service stripes. Accordingly the folks
back home expect that Major General
Lassiter's command will be among
the first designated to return TO the
United States, when the time comes
Tor sending back the veteran combat
divisions, now In Germany with the
Army Of Occupation.
The three cities which are urging
their claims for honor OF welcoming
the conquerors Of Fismis, Juvigny and
Cote Dame Marie are Waco, Tex,
Milwaukee and Detroit
Milwaukee seeks to welcome the
Iron Jaws" because it is the metrop-
oils of Wisconsin, the State which
furnished the largest number OF men
for the original 32nd Division. Detroit
thinks she is entitled to the honor, as
being the largest city in the section
from which most of the men now in
the 32nd hail. Waco wants to welcome
home the men who wear the red ar
row, because the Division trained
there.
Waco, however has plan by which
each. city can stage a welcome. me
Waco scheme is to have the 3znd
Division landed at southern port
and taken to Camp Macarthur to
muster out. The Wisconsin units
would then be sent to Milwaukee and
the Michigan troops to Detroit, men
from other sections being allowed to
go direct to their homes.
No plans have as yet been Announced

ision, but army men say that the well
come will probably be- in the city
closest to the cantonment to which
the division is ordered upon its re-
turn home If Camp Macarthur is de-
signated, Waco will do the welcoming
i the division goes to Rockford, Ill,
Milwaukee will no doubt have the
parade, and if the mastering out is
done at Battle Creek, then Detroit
will win out.
The Adjutant General Of Wisconsin
has urged that, before the return of
the division to the United States, all
of the men who went aboard with the
92nd and who are now in other units
be allowed to return to their original
organization. Nearly a whole regiment
of Wisconsin National Guardsmen
have fought with the First Division in
all of it's major operations, all Of the
privates and captains being transfer

First Division as requirements early

Dear Mother:

escaped the flu and hope you keep it
up. l think before very long I will
be there to look after you. Robbins

day and had quite a trip. Saturday
seems to be market day and the city
looked like a county fair. | got a let

this morning, so with your letter and
one other Friday, have Jared pretty
well. We were going to take long

Dear Mother:

rest of the day to ourselves. We were
supposed to have review by Col.

are off duty now until taps and all day
Sunday we are allowed anywhere With

Robbins and l have had passes the
last three Sundays. The first two we
spent at Montargis, quite large town
nine miles from here and last Sunday
we went to Foutaineblau and went
through Napoleon's castle which IS
surely wonderful sight. The tract
