COLONEL FINLEY,

FROM new YORK
Hears Voices Of Wife and
Children for First Time
in Two Years Over
Telephone.

Col. Matt FINLEY, heart-hungering
for home, could not restrain his
yearning to hear the children's
voices, and at o'clock Sunday
morning called Mrs FINLEY on the
long distance phone from New York
and talked up a scandalously large
phone bill. He talked to every men,
Der of the family in Council Bluffs
hearing the voices for the first time
in two years.
Colonel FINLEY said the expecta-
ton was that the boys would leave
New York Tuesday and would ar
rive at Camp Dodge Friday. Word
from Des MONIES Saturday night
announced the receipt of telegram
from Lieutenant Ball, acting adju-
tant of the l68th, that the regiment
would leave Camp Upton Monday,
and that all officers and men had
been ordered to camp to await en-
tra:nment. Colonel Tinley's infor-
nation, coming several hours later,

Following Special Edi-

A special edition of the Iowa
Homestead, bearing no date and
containing about IA pages of boil
shevism, has been circulated in
Council Bluffs during the last few
days. 1t is the second section Of
an attack on the military affairs
bureau of the Chamber of Com
merce that welded such whole
some effect upon certain class OF
Pottawattamie and Council Bluffs
citizens, inducing them to modify
their views concerning the right
eousness of Americas entry into
the world war and line up on the
side of all the other home folks who
were loyalty supporting the soldier
boys they had sent overseas to
fight the Huns.
No more attention would have
been paid to it than was given the
first blast, which was none at all,
had it not been for the spontaneous
action of number of Council
Bluffs boys who have returned from
overseas, wounded and keenly aware
of the terrible sacrifices that have
been made and as willing to resen:
an attack in the rear as they were
to repel an assault from the enemy
in front. A lot of these boys, Pussy

Consider it SANDER.
"We, wounded and gassed soldier;
OF Council Bluffs, wish to tell Jim
Pierce, publisher of the Homestead.
that we oppose his last issue Of, the
Iowa Homestead, and consider it a
SANDER on ourselves and the people
of Council Bluffs, who did all in
their power to make things as easy
as possible for our fathers and
mothers during our absence in
France. We challenge Pierce to
furnish us the names and addresses
of men who will openly tell US they

ment our buddies died for"
A mass meeting of the newly
formed Rainbow post, War Veter-
ans, has been called at the armory
this evening, and Mr.. Pierce may get
SC me personal consideration Of even
stronger character.
A response by wire came from the
Homestead office stating that Pierce
has been confined to his bed for
more than two weeks by surg1, al
operation. and intimating that he
will be delighted" to meet a COM
mittee of the indignant soldiers
when he is able to go to his office.
The young men are certain he will
meet somebody with ample author
ity to say something. Its tenor may
be surmised by the remark of one
OF the wounded soldiers: 1--WE
whipped the Huns in France and
il we have to do it in Iowa we're the

not affect the payment of claims.

Observance Of Memorial Day in this
city and at the soldiers home this year
will take on a new significance owing
to the participation by veterans OF the
worlds war. Preliminary plans for the
observance have been made, with little
departure from the usual program In
the city, but with an entirely new plan
proposed for the soldiers home OBJ
servance.
Because of the advanced age OF the
members OF the home the marching
feature will be eliminated and the SER
vices greatly simplified, The members
Of the Grand. Army post headed by the
drum corps. will march directly to the
home cemetery the morning OF Mem
orial Day, where the members, assisted
by the Woinen's Relief Corps and the
Ladies Of the @. A. r. and the members
Of the home generally. will strew flow
ers on the graves Of the dead. The
usual program at the cemetery will be
dispensed with.
The Memorial Day program proper
will be held In the afternoon on the
home lawn instead Of the park. thus
doing away with the time honored
march Of the veterans to the home
gates to meet the visitors from the
city and the counter march to the park.
Program at the Homo.
The afternoon services at the home
will begin at 1880 with a concert by
the soldiers home band.- which will
last . half hour. Just prior to the con-
cert or just at its conclusion, as will
be later determined, the ceremony of
unfurling the big flag, with the shower
Of flowers from its folds. will be OBJ
served. A program Of songs has been
arranged and the address of the day
will be delivered by c. H. Van Law.
Of this city. The program will be con-
Guided by 3 o'clock. In the evening
moving pictures will be shown for the
members of the home at the assembly
hall.
