PROPOSES ALLOW
CH|X. PEOPLE To
BEAUTIFY PARKS

moriais; Name After Soldier Or
Some Great Man Suggestion
of Local Farmer.

That in improving Chickasha S
parks, when the sites are chosen, the
people Of Chicklsha be given an op-
pcs;unity to plant trees and name
them in homer Of someone whose
memory they desire to cherish was
the suggestion offered yesterday af.
tornoon by Fred Kreutz, farmer liy
ing just west of the city
In this way" explained Mr.. Kreutz
"Chickasha's parks would be improy
ed and the citizens of this city would
haye the opportunity Of planting
tree that would be in the form Of
memorial to anyone whom they de
sired to especially honor I would
suggest that they not only be allow
ed to plant one tree, but group Of
trees at points designated by those
in charge Of the parks.
Name After Soldiers.

be those of any great man, living
or dead, or if ii was desired, the
trees could be named after some sol
dier boy who Was killed in the recent
war, and it seems to me that that
would make very fitting memorial
My idea Of course would be for
the planter Of the tree to pay all e2
penses incurred There would alsc
be the incentive for them to see thai
the tree or group Of trees received
the proper care ana attention after
planting.

to 60 into the ground in connection
with this proposition, in the event
of its adoption There is no use t.

for them to mature However, by

afterward was to talk about Dts visit
and what he had said to them. We
knew Mr.. Gerard had got the Germans
to make conditions better In some of
the worst hell-holes In Germany and
the men We're always glad when he
came around. They felt they had some
thing better to look forward to and
some relief from the awful misery.
Mr.. Gerard was passing through the
French barracks and q man l knew
there told him there was an American
there. The Germans did not want him
to see me, but he pU: up an argument
with the commanding at...scer and they
finally said he could interview me.

/ was to see him. The picture is still
with me Of him coming in the door.
We talked for about an hour and q
half, / guess, and then lie got up to
go and he said would hear from him
In about three weeks. Just think what
good news that was to me!
They let me out Of the guardhouse
and celebrated by doing all the dam
age to German sentries that l could
do. The men in the camps went wild
when they learned that Ambassador
Gerard was there. for they said he was
TIE only man in Germany they could
tell their troubles to. The reason was
thar he was strong for the men, no
matter what nationality, and put his
heart into the work. am one of
those who cannot say enough good
things about him. Like many others,
If it had not been for Mr.. Gerard
would be kaput by now.
A few days after this l was slow
again as we were marching to the
bread house and the guard at the door
tripped me. When l fell l hurt my
wounds. which made me hot. Now
had decided, on thinking 1t over, that
the best thing to do was to be good,
since I was expecting to be released,
and thought it would ba tough luck
to be killed just before was to be
released. But had been in the Amer
lean navy and any garby of the U. s. A.
would have done what did. 1t must
be the training we get, for when q
dirty trick is pulled off on us we get
very nervous around the hands and are
not always able to control them.
So I went for the sentry and wal
loped him in the jaw. Then I received
his bayonet through the fleshy part of
the forearm. Most bayonet wounds
that we got were in the arm. But
