James w. Foley, North Dakota poet
and former reporter on the Bismarck
Tribune for 10 years, was the guest
of the communities in and around
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
holdings for several weeks in Octo-
Der speaking to community groups Of

Mr.. Foley, who is on the staff of
Pasadena, Calf. Post is newspaper
man, social worker, columinist, and
magazine writer and author of note.
An article in the Pueblo Star-Jour

of Mr.. Foley in the following words:
Foley is a man with message, an
individual who makes every person
who hears him feel that he il. a
friend indeed, that he is almost a
member of ones own family. He is
on the staff of Pasadena (Caiif.)
newspaper and comes here at the in
vitation of the community groups Of
c. F. & I. employees.
Foley, who came to the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company territory two
years ago, at the invitation of A. H.
Lichty, vice-president Of the COM
pany, made wide circle of friends
and admirers at that time. In fact,
those who heard him two years ago
were so greatly interested in the
man and his messages at that time
that this year the persons Of the
community are paying Foley's ex-
penses while he is in Colorado. And
it takes three weeks for him to fill
all Of the engagements made for
him.
The famous newspaper man, for it
10 to his newspaper work that he
shows his greatest allegiance, ar
rived in Pueblo at noon Saturday. He
Is guest at Casa Vivienda and
Lichty is also spending the week end
there. Talking to newspaper men at
the lunch hour Saturday in the sun
parlorssof Casa Vivienda, Foley said:
II first met Mr.. Lichty when he
was in charge of the central, western
and southern executive offices of
the Y. M. C. A. during the world war.
He was being beseiged by great num-
bers of persons who" thought they
had message for the men in the
army and navy camps. I also thought
had a message and was among the
besiegers. Mr.. Lichty took me on.
did not wear uniform. The Y. NJ
c. A. paid my expenses. I addressed
nearly a quarter of million men of
the 10000 in the area camps in II
months time. And l never was once
interrupted in malicious manner
The most perfect compliment paid
me, l believe, was when one soldier
after one of my addresses, said tc
me, After your talk, feel just like
had been on visit to my home
Here Lichty interrupted to say
MAY tell these newspaper mer
that while we had great numbers o.
wonderful fellows in our work, ant
while they, did a great work, tws
names stand out most PROMINENT!
among those who assisted. I hest
tate to say this in the presence O.
Mr.. Foley, but, those two men wer'
James H. Foley and John D. Rccke
Teller, Jr. They were human
chaps, interested in human beings
and they hadaa message. The me,
in the camps realized that. and the!
admired them for it,
