BIG BROTHER LETTER
 FROM FAR-OFF FRANCE

Miss Rema Stemmer, the littl, daughter of MT. and Mrs. C.. c. Stem mer, formerly of Flagstaff, now o cottonwood, is very much pleased with the following letter from hel friend, Frank Hastings. Mir. Tasting, IS a nephew of Night Marshal Ec P0sten, and his mother is resident Of Flagstaff.
 Ameyres, France, Mar. 28, '19. Miss Rema Stemmer,
 Cottonwood, Ariz., U. S. A. Dear Little Blondie:
 suppose you have forgotten youl big brother and the good times we used to have; but I have thought o1 you often, and tonight am a lonely soldier boy and long, long way from home. Do you know how far 6,00( miles is, Blondie? It is lots and lots farther than from Sedona to Flag. staff.
 We'll, Blondie, we sailed from New York on June 29th on a great big ship, many times bigger than the hotel was at Sedona. It was a French ship and was painted in big stripes like a rattlesnake so the sub marines could not see it so far. We landed in France July II, and the doc tors thought 1 needed rest so they sent me to the hospital for while.
 Before long I joined my company and we soon left for the front. We travelled clear across France in am- intuition trucks, and saw our first action in the St. Mihiel drive, near the great city of Toul From there we went to the Argonne- Muese front near the city of Vertun and were there all through the drive. We hauled shells to the guns and sometimes we were in the center with artillery from both sides sending shells over us. It was wonderful, not light but the fla of the guns and the bursting shells, with all colors of rockets. The Ger mans chased us into the dugouts, and the cooties and the rats chased us out
 You can tell all the other little girls you got really truly letter from France.
 1 expect to be back by June 1, and if l ever see you, l will tell you about these little girls over here and how bad Germans made them leave their homes, until their Uncle Sammie came over and said "Boo!" with his big naval guns and started them back for the Rhine.
 Your big soldier brother,
 FRANK HASTINGS, Truck Go. c, Army Artillery Park,
 First Army, A. E. F.

SOLDIERS WANT TO
 GET HOME; WAR OVER

American soldiers who return from France find great deal of fault and make many complaints, but their at titude in this respect is not only thoroughly understandable and also healthy, but even highly desirable, ac- cording to Staff Speaker John E. Lathrop, of the Department of Labor, who has been making addresses to thousands of young men, and who has had personal interviews with great many. Mir. Lathrop, who has been connected with the Information and Education Service of the department, will leave shortly for France, where he will be speaker for the Red Cross.
 "The men make complaints" he said; but they are all right. Their attitude is this: We've finished up the big job over there, and now we want to get to work on the big job over here Briefly, they want to get out of the army, and to get back home. They haven't been long enough in the army to become detached from home ties or to acquire rowing disposition. They still realize that they have re- responsibilities to their families and to the community; they don't want to be dependent on anyone. A great diff fieulty in former wars has been the tendency of returned soldiers to want to remain in the army, where they are more or less relieved from responsibil- ity. That isn't the case here.
 Comparatively few of the farm boys want to break away from the farms and go into the cities. Home is the place they are all looking for, and the reason for most of the complaints is that the men don't think they are getting home fast enough. They want to be demobilized as quickly as pos sible, and to get back into civilian clothes on civilian job. They realize that Republics true greatness is in peace; not in war.
 "But with all that they are abso- lutely loyal to the American flag, and ready to serve it again at any time. It's merely that the job is done now, and they want to tak ke up the new job at home."

CAPT. ROBSON DENIES
 HIS BATTALION LED
 BY CAPT. COLEMAN

Captain E. M Robison most em. phatically denies the statement that Captain York Coleman led the Second Battalion of the 372nd Infantry into action, and is very much inclined to believe that this statement was pur- posely made. In letter to Adj, Gen Harris he says:
 Flagstaff, Ariz,, April 25, '19. Col. Chas. w. Harris,
 Adj. Gen. Arizona Natl Guard,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 The Northern Arizona Leader and the Coconino Sun of dates April 22 and April 25, respectively (and I un- derstand the Phoenix Gazette of re- cent date), marked copies of each of which am mailing you under sepa- rate cover, quote you as saying under heading, "15Sth Infantry Saw Service in France, etc.: Captain E. M Rob- ison of Flagstaff received the French Croix de Guerre and the Distinguish ed Service Medal for gallantry in an attack LED BY CAPTAIN YORK COLEMAN OF TUCSON AS BAT TALON COMMANDER"
 It should read "led by Captain Ed ward M. Robison of Flagstaff, as bat talion commander" as Capt. Edward M. Robison commanded the Second Battalion of the 372nd Infantry through the entire Champagne drive, and led the attack, and York Coleman was rot the battalion commander and did not lead the attack referred to, and
The Coconino sun., 1919-05-02
News of Our Soldier and Sailor Boys

Capt. York Coleman never commanded the battalion nor led it to the attack nor did he ever command any battal- ion of which Capt. Edward M. Robison was member; neither did Capt. York Coleman have anything to do with the battalion which Capt. Edward M. Rob- ison commanded through the Cham pagne drive, and led to the attack.
 Capt. Edward M. Robison was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal per Par. X, G. O. 13, w. D., January 19, 1919.
 As you have given the other state ment to the papers, will you please correct it, and will you please advise me who advised you thus enormously, and attempted to undo with ink what it cost blood to do?
 Very respectfully,
 EDWARD M. ROBSON.

OAK CREEK CUTOFF
 TO BE BUILT THIS YEAR

The Secretary of Agriculture has approved the cooperative agreement with Coconino county covering the Oak Creek cutoff road project south of Flagstaff. This project provides new route to the rim of Oak Creek canyon starting at point on the Munds Park road near the pump house. The natural conditions in this location for good road are much superior to those of the old route and another important feature is that the mileage of road to maintain will be greatly reduced.
 The estimated cost of this project is $20,000. The cost is shared equally.by Coconino county and the federal gov ernment. It is thought by the forest office that construction work on this will commence within 90 days and possibly sooner. Undoubtedly this project will be followed by a much more extensive work as rapidly as the local quota of funds to meet the fed eral aid becomes available.

A SOLDIERS LAMENT IN 1
 A. E. F.
l+++++*++++**+++, .

(From one of the Boys "Over There" y, l am sitting here longing far ava. across the sea, For little old board shack out ir
 the West, Where the San Francisco mountain
 throws it's shadows OCT the plains In the country I have learned t. love the best. l can hear the cattle lowing as sit
 here all alone, And l know it's roundup time out
 on the plains, And my hand is just a-itching for to feel a good grass rope, Or my pony's pull upon the bridle reins. I have done a lot of thinking since I've joined the A. E. F., For we have lots of things to think
 about; I always thought I knew just how to hold gun to shoot, But since I've joined the army I've
 found out. I used to pack wild burros when trapped the wild coyote, And always thought I knew how to
 pack; But I won't need any burros when ] get home from France, l can pack years provisions on
 my back. I've a, gun that has to be as spotless as dime, And l have to keep it with me all
 the time, It's as heavy as a crowbar and useless as club,
 For they took my shells away when
 peace was signed. Yes, I saw lot of country while the war was going on, And you could always find us on
 the job At St. Mehiel, and Verdun, and in the Argonne,
 We helped in driving back the
 Kaiser's mob. But "No-Man's-Land" has nothing on the lava beds back there, And the Canyon has the trenches
 beat a mile, The biggest gun l want to see is called the "Twenty-two," And I'll keep it wrapped in cotton
 all the time. I see in all the papers where they're shipping chocolate bars, And lemon drops on everything that
 floats, And I've gotta mild suspicion the "U", boats still are out, Just a-hunting up and sinking those
 said boats. I've a steel helmet and gas mask just bit the worse for wear, At the front l kept them with me
 all the time, But I'll trade them for rattle, and a doll with curly hair, For l know they'll send them any
 way in time. We'll I soon must stop my writing and go and spin my top, The dear people of the States have
 sent to me, All need now is a Teddy Bear, a toy | boat and small pun, And I know they're sure to send
 them, they're so free. Now, I've just wee suggestiin when you put your Nursery up, For the soldier boys from France
 so far away: That you build it in some shady dell | besides falling brook, Where the big girls can not bother
 them at play. suggest you don't have any guns that are over sixteen inch, Their weight not over sixty thou
 sand pounds. Bigger ones we never play with and they're hard to move around, And we might knock Frisco peaks
 down just for fun. P. S.-Why don't some one intro luce bill before the people to get
