A SOLDIER most of his life, S/Sgt.
~ Joseph H. Gaillard at So years of age
is as tough as he might have been in 1915
when he joined the Army. On the first
assignment he had, he captured a Ger
man light cruiser" the Gregg, although
he was an infantryman.4.
1t happened when he was stationed in
Honolulu in 1917 The ship, out of food
and supplies chose to land at the island
where Sgt. Gaillard was corporal of the
guard.
Readying all shore defenses, the then
corporal took over the vessel and marched
it's complement of officers and men to
Schofield barracks, 26 miles away, after
seeing to it that the ship was impounded.
Contrary to logic as it may seem, Japa-
nese seamen led the doomed Gregg into
the Yank trap. Japan was our ally in
World War I.
Not many medals since then have been
claimed by the sergeant. He is loathe to
talk about himself. Much talk, however,
he expends about the exploits of his
buddieS in service.
He calls them soldiers" which to him
means angels" On asking what recon-
pense soldier received for soldering in
the older days of the Fort when there
were no promotions, no medals being be-
slowed, Sgt. Gaillard answered that the
recompenSe was "in each mans heart"

By VANCE HI. MARCHBANKS
Captain, Retired

IT WAS on March z, 1899-juSt about 46
] years ago-that I first arrived at Fort
Huachuca. I had re-enlisted in Nashville,
Tenn, on the 1St day of March for Cav
airy, unassigned, with the hope of being
sent to Fort SILL Oklahoma, to join Troop
"H," 9Th Cavalry, but the AGO. advised
the R.O. that there was no vacancy in
Troop "H," but that there were vacancies
in the 9th Cavalry stationed at Fort
Huachuca. 1 was, therefore, drafted to
come out here somewhat against my will.
There is nothing here that resembles
old Fort Huachuca except the everlasting
hills, scrub evergreen oaks, and the pestle
holes in the rocks behind the warehouse
west of the Apache Sentinel office where
the Indians pounded acorns into meal to
make puddingS perhaps a thousand years
ago.
There were two or three buildings south
of the old Post Library and none north of
the Finance Office. The Post Exchange
was located in an old adobe building
standing in the woods where now stands
the beautiful stone quarters occupied by
Colonel Bousfield and Lieut.. Colonel
Thatcher. There were no swimming pools,
tennis courts, and not even a baseball
field on the Post in these days. No electric
lights, no automobiles no radios. The
nearest railroad and telegraph station was
at Huachuca siding, seven miles nOrCn OF
the Post, which was branch line and
connected with the main line of the S. P.
railroad at Benson.
There was one train daily which arrived
about 900 a. m. This train brought mail,
rations and supplies for the troops sta
toned here. The train was met by
Doughtery Wagon which was stout
spring wagon, a sort of drag and four"
resembling the old stage coach that we
see in the movies. 1t was drawn by four
mules and could carry as many as ten
passengers. An escort wagon would also
meet the train to haul the freight and
baggage, which was also drawn by four
mules, and if the Doughtery wagon was
over crowded with passengers, the escort
wagon would haul the overflow.
When I arrived on this Post in company
with seven other recruits, we all rode up
from the siding in the Doughtery wagon
There were also two Mexican girl passen-
gers, making a total of eleven including
the driver AS I remember, the girls were
small and good looking, and they both sat
on the front seat with the driver; he put
them off at the Chinese restaurant which
The Apache sentinel., 1945-03-09

ways got the bulk of our supply from
Garden Canyon, nine miles southeast,
until the wells were sunk down near Fry
Gate
There were no moving pictures in the
early days, and the only amusement the
soldiers had on the Post they created
themselves. We usually had Saturday
night dances; and out near Fry there was
resort which had about everything a
soldier seeks when he goes on pass. Game
was plentiful and hunting was good. There
was silver mine being worked then out
near Pyatt'S Ranch, about nine miles
west of the Post, and many civilians
passed through the Post going and coming
from the mine
I left the Post in May, 1899, but we had
a little target practice before we left with
Troop L, 9th Cavalry. The target butts
were located about 100 yards northeast of
where the PIX Cafeteria now stands near
Knoxville. Shortly after this we went on
trip to Fort Brown at Brownsville, Texas,
which was then 16O miles from the rail-
road, except for short line running from
Brownsville to Point Isabella.

ers on the Post who have a school room,
books and even blackboards for the use
of their pupils.
In Sergeant Pettibone's. soldering days
at Fort Huachuca, the boundary of the
Fort was somewhere near the stone build
ing by the band barracks on the Old Post.
That building was used as hospital. The
officer, then Capt. Charles NJ O'Connor,
who commanded his regiment, is now
known as Brigadier General O'Connor.
The commander of the Colorado, Arizona
and Texas Military District was Major
General Arthur Macarthur father of
General Douglas Macarthur, and was
frequent visitor at Fort Huachuca.
Sgt Pettibone spent his twenty-th third
and twenty-fourth birthdays at Huachuca,
returning to civilian life during the latter
part of 1908, from the Fort. He celebrated
his sixty-sixth birthday on February 26,
in Tucson, Arizona.
He has spent most of his later life in
Seattle, Washington, becoming an influ-
ential official of the Coolidge Steamship
Lines and their affiliates in tranSporta-
ton. He retired in December, 1941, and is
taking his ease among scenes of his ear
lier adventures.
His experiences at Fort Huachuca are
some of the most memorable ones Of his
life and his visit here in early February,
brought him a great deal of pleasure.
4 Still strong and full of vitality, he has
been organizer and founder of the Fort
Son-ThygSen Chapter of the American
Legion and was for many years head of
the Seattle District.
His youngest son serves in the Army,
somewhere in the Southwest Pacific"

A LETTER from Claude M. Pettibone
~ to the Apache Sentinel office brought
to our attention the fact that he had
served at the Fort away back in 1901 and
a subsequent meeting with the retired
sergeant brought to light interesting facts
about the Fort in those days of nearly
half a century ago.
Sgt. Pettibone was a duty sergeant
with the 18th Cavalry during the Philip
pine Insurrection, and when that was
quelled, his outfit was stationed here for
several years.
The sergeant resided in the building
now known as Post Headquarters. He re-
calls the trip to Benson as day and
night jaunt on horseback and remembers
that when he suffered a bad toothache
one day. he repaired to the Army surgeon
stationed there and was told by the young
doctor, ST haven't even got pair of
pliers to pull your tooth with"
Sgt. Pettibone's chief assignment at
Fort Huachuca was teaching school to
the Forts illiterates. There was no grada-
ton into classes, and students from five
to fifty years of age comprised the SER
geant's pupils. Some of the sergeant'S
problems in teaching school here are re-
ported in the Army and Navy Journal of
January 7, 1908, and will certainly make
interesting reading for the present teach

 The group, meeting informally in New York, also called for full meet ing of the entire Provisional Com mittee presumably at Geneva, Switzerland. as soon after October as possible, to be followed by an enlarged meeting, within nine months, of the Provisional Commit tee together with the leading Pro- testant and Orthodox churchmen of he world. When the war broke out in Europe, the World Council of Churches was still "in process of formation,' and the Provisional Committee, charged with bringing it formally into existence, were un- able to complete the task. So press ing, however, were the opportunities which confronted the ecumenical Church, that it has been undertak- ing an ever-increasing service to churches of all countries from the World Council headquarters at Geneva, Switzerland. Members of the Provisional Committee hope now to be able to proceed with their task of organization at least so far as the churches of Europe and Amer ica are concerned. In spite of the war, 87 communions in l9 countries are already full members.

Clark prosecuted the Anaconda Copper Company three times for manufacturing faulty wire for the Armed Fo-ces; also moved against the Durham Manufacturing Com- pany of Ft. Wayne, Ind, for cover ing up cracked shell bases made for the Navy; also convicted one con- pany in Truman's home town, Kan Sas City, the Baker and Lockwood Company, for war frauds against the Air Forces.
 Clark has served as Assistant Att torney General in charge of anti trust, succeeding trust-busting Thur man Arnold, and later as Assistant Attorney General in charge of the criminal division |. If the big city bosses who put Truman across at Chicago are looking for someone to pull their chestnuts out of the fire in the Justice Department, they may have hard time with young Clark. He once indicted one of the men who nominated Roosevelt at Chica- go in 1892, ex-Governor James Cur 4Cy o2 ooSVOll, LOW SOllSI eSSIlld1l.
 Clark faces some interesting and important city boss cases almost im- mediately. One is the case of Mayor Kellys friend Bill Johnson, the big gambling boss of Chicago, who has been convicted but is still out on appeal. Another is whether to pros ecute further ex-Governor Leche of Louisiana, who faces parole soon but has three other indictments stand ing against him. . Another is the case of Freeman Burford from Clarks home town of Dallas, still facing criminal indictment in con- nection with hot oil and bribing Governor Leche of Louisiana. ..

 Frank Discussions

Reverend Henry Smith Leiper, D. D., Secretary of the American Committee for the World Council of Churches, made public today a statement signed by 13 members and officers of the Provisional Committee of the World Council of Churches, expressing the hope that in the near future "a means may be found for frank and intimate discussions among churchmen of both sides of the war who have sought to put the service of their Lord above every other consideration"
 "Only through such meetings to- gether," the statement said, through speaking the truth in love and through prayer, can the deep wounds which the war has caused be healed.' It expressed gratitude over the part the reawakened Church had often played during the past years "as the conscience of the nation," but warned that forgiveness will be costly and that in peace as well as in war spiritual issues are decisive and upon the Church will depend whether nations hear the message on which their life or death depends.
 For the first time in nearly six years" said the statement, it is possible for all the churches of the western world to speak freely and listen to one another. During these
