which brought 1000 soldiers home.
He sailed from LeHavre, France, the
same port where he landed on New
Years Day this year after having
been in England since Nov. 1, 1914.
The we'll known Nogalian took
part in the Rlineland and Central
Germany campaigns. Starting at
the Colmar Pocket in the Rhineland
he crossed the Rhine at Worms,
Germany, thence through Mann
helm to Wurtzburg on the Main
river and from there to the Danube
at Dillingen, then to Heilbronn and
the Autobahn highway southeast OF
Munich to Salzburg.
He was attached to both the 10th
and 18th Armored Divisions and
when the war ended was with the
29Oth Combat Engineers Of the 7th
Army, commanded by Gen. Patch.
Germany is now apparently
friendly, that is, most of the Ger
mans, and very accommodating
almost to the point of subservien-
cy," said Fain.
"The German is a hard worker
which means their salvation and
it is up to us to guide their efforts
which will determine whether we
are to have another maelstrOm.
Germany is the most up to date
of any country in Europe but has a
long way to go to catch up with the
United States. 1t is also the
most beautiful country in Europe
and reminded me lot of upper
New York State, and of course
there is nothing in the United
States that looks like the Bavarian
Alps which is by far the most beau

THE Alps have rich green for

looks like well tended garden. Even
at the present time it is under cul-
tivation.

of Salzburg, which was Hitler's

France has suffered a great deal
from the war, although it is not as
