saturday morning at Camp Dodge
+he war service Of the famous Iowa
1esth infantry officially, ended and a
few hours later as the train pulled in
20 the union station here the journey
hat started two years ago was com.
pleted for ten OF the. Keokuk men OF
that regiment.
Thus st. Mihiel, Argonne, Chateau
Thierry and the Marine become but a
memory, and the heroes return again
to forget the days that they have
passed through, and to take UP the
thread Of life where they left off.
The welcome that was given to the
battalion earlier in the week took the
edge off the demonstration for the
Homecoming Of these ten men OF
Company l..
But is wasn't a demonstration that
they wanted-it was just to get home
and sit at the table with the home
folks. and to go to bed without know
ing that before they had fairly started
to sleep reveile would sound. 1t was
mat, that they had been looking for
ward to for many long months. And
there were many times when each of
them had thought that he would not
see the home folks again. Now that
their dream had been realized they
Just wanted to stay at home and for

When They Got Back.
As the train came in the Elks were
there and the Keokuk Community
band was there, and better than all
~ Co Of tho
there-and that was enough. Then
the men were taken in automobiles by
members of the Elks lodge to their
homes.
The only ceremonies there consist
ed of stop of few minutes at the
corner of Sixth and Main streets
where Mayor Lotion expressed Off
cially for the city a welcome home.
He recalled to them the time over
two years ago, when their fellow
townsmen had wished them Godspeed
in whatever should lie before them.
Neither they nor the ones who were
left behind realized at that time what
perilous adventure that should be, and
that there were many of their number
who should not come back. But now
that they were back it is not words
that are needed to express apprecia-
ton and welcome to them.
The welcome of the mayor was
brief and heartfelt. and the men know
that he shares the sentiments of the
city.
Greeted by Crowds.
The procession to that speech at
Sixth and Main streets passed through
a crowd of people welcoming the mrn
collectively and individually.
First came the Community band
playing a stirring march, Then came
the familiar body of Elks with their
flags on the right D shoulder. Then
come the automobiles carrying the
men of the regiment that will always
be remembered as long as the world
war is written about
One, or two, or three soldiers were
in each automobile. but they were
not prominent, bowling or raising hats
ito the continual applause of the lines
of people through which they passed.
Some were leaning far back on the
rear seat. and few were beside the
driver of the car, but they lacked

Many Personal Greetings.

Many Personal Greetings.
Greetings to individuals were con-
stantly heard as the automobiles
passed through the crowded street
First names and nick-names were
heard shouted from the side lines, at
times, and some khaki clothed man
in an automobile would wave his hand
and shout something back
Some young men standing in the
front line of the crowd, or in the more
thinly populated street intersection,
seemed known to all the returning
soldiers, and were hailed by nearly
all of the men in Khaki.
Can Not Assemble Them.
But after all, only ten men were in
the parade of honor given on the re-
turn of men who went to the war first
and in company almost two hundred
strong The event proved the wis
dom of the mayors committee on re-
turning soldiers in postponing the big
receptin until all are back home some
time late in this year perhaps. The
discharged men simply filter into Keo-
kuk.
OF the two dozen who passed
through here last Wednesday, and en-
tered the state at either of the two
other gateways that day, a few came
home individually, and half dozen
and more arrived Saturday forenoon,
ahead Of the ten who came Saturday
night. All had promised Wednesday
to come to Keokuk together-but they
did not give a tinker's obstruction
to solder about anything except getting
into their family residences as soon
as possible Some who arrived in the
morning We're in citizens clothes be-
fore noon.
The original Company L is literal
ly scattered all over the world. Some
are back home. Some are in differ
ent parts of Europe, some are in var
ious places in America today. 1t Is
difficult for Keokuk to honor those
men as she desires.
