LETTER FROM LINCOLN
SOLDIER OVERSEAS
Company C 815th Pioneer Infantry,
American E. F., France, February 8,
1919.
i To the Editor of The Monitor,
Omaha, Nebraska.
•Sir:
Knowing of the interest which you
have always had for the Omaha boys
who were drafted before I was, I
thought that perhaps with the same
kindly interest, you would lie glad to
hear from a Lincoln boy. “over here.”
With that assumption, it is with pleas
I that I write this letter, in Older
that the Lincoln hoys may be favor
ably remembered as having done their
“bit.”
This regiment arrived safely over
seas and debadked at Brest, France,
October 21, 1918, after having had
i a pleasant voyage of an even ten
days. With but very little sickness
and practically no sea sickness it was
i indeed a happy bunch that landed that
afternoon. After a few days spent
i at a rest camp without much rest,
we entrained for Dammartin, near
Montigny, France, where we were giv
! en the final touches for our entry into
the great scrap, but the day we left
this place the aiTnistice was signed,
I an,l so, to our regret, we barely
missed the chance to offer the su
preme sacrifice.
However, we have either passed by
or camped on some of the great bat
tlefields of this war. We camped at
i Clermont-en-Argonne, and have seen
hills 101-2, a part of the Argonne
forest, and many of the front line
trenches in the Toul sector. We
marched through Verdun, and camped
9 kilometers (about six miles) east
of there, at a place known as Abau
court, but which will have to be re
built, as it has been entirely de
stroyed.. It was at this place where
I met Private Walter Tolle of the
medical detachment of the 816th Pio
neer infantry. He told me of Sergeant
Okie Lee and Corporal Arthur Hurd
of that regiment, both Lincoln boys.
There are other Lincoln boys with the
805th and 806th Pioneer infantries,
but as yet I have not been able to get
into communication with them.
We are now camped at a place well
behind the Germant front line and
which they have had, tc the time of
evacuation, the duration of the war.
This town of Fleville has all the ear
marks of having been a prosperous
village and has not been “shot up” at
all. It is about twenty-four miles east
from Verdun, our regimental head
quaiters, and about six miles from
Briey, the nearest large town.
The weather has turned off from
the rain and mud which we first en
countered to the kind of weather we
Nebraskans are used to having. With
about three inches of snow on the
ground, and cold enough to keep from
melting, it has put plenty of pep into
the boys, who are going about their
daily duties and waiting for their turn
to go home.
With all best wishes for your
growth and success in the fight at
home for the same principles which
we came abroad to fight for, I am
sincerely yours,
CECIL DENTON.

MALONES ENTERTAIN SOLDIERS
(Special to The Monitor.)
St. Louis, Mo., March 12.—The Poro
College company, of which Mr. and
Mrs. Aaron Malone are proprietors,
opened their college to the replace
ment soldiers of the 360th infantry
last Saturday, and made them wel
come. Eleven soldiers who were en
route to Camp Funston to be mus
tered out of service, passed through
the city, and having a day to remain
were brought to the “Poro” colelge
by the Rev. Shelton Parr of the Y. M.
C. A. The "boys” who were most
ly from the state of Kansas, wore
the Coirre de Guirre. In the party
were Corporal Bert Walts, Corporal
Augustus A. Davis, Corporal Eugene
Washington, Privates Samuel May
hew, Walter Hunter, William Glover,
Grover Gillespie, Fred W. Cooper, J.
W. Essex, I-icn Richie, Plummer Walk
er and Eugene Washington.
For an hour they played pool in
the private pool room of Mr. Malone’s
and at noon were escorted to the main
auditorium where a splendid program
was rendered by the “Poro” college
girls. Miss May B. Thomas sang “The
Rose of No Man’s I>and.” sweetly and
charmingly, /and the soldiers were
highly elated over the rendition.
Misses Keith and Moore sang “Some
body Here Bears a Weary Load,” in
a pleasing and delightful manner. The
whole college sang as the soldiers
marched in “The Old Flag Never
Touched the Ground Boys.” It was
an inspiring occasion. Cary B. Lewis
of the Chicago Defender, who was
here on a visit, presided at the meet
ing and introduced an old soldier,
Comrade G. W. Edwards, who told the
boys of his experiences during the
sixties.
Fred W. Cooper of Kansas City,
and Len Richie, Atchison, Kas., who
wore citation badges awaided by tTie
French government delivered ad
dresses. They related ‘in detail the
bravery-, heroism, daring and courage
of the 369th infantry. Told of how
the “boys" of their regiment went
“over the top" and incidentally how
some of the southern white officers
treated them. Tears came to the eyes
of the young women who heard how
their brothers in blood were treated,
but the soldiers said “The Old h lag
Never Touched the Ground.”
Following the addresses Mr. and
Mrs. Malone extended them a warm
welcome, threw the building open to
them for the afternoon. The soldiers
were surprised when they were es
corted to the dining room where a
feast, a real old-fashioned dinner was
prepared for them.
Mr. and Mrs. Malone received a let
ter yesterday from Prof, and W. S.
Scarborough of Wilberforce univer
sity thanking them for the $1,000 they
had given Wilberforce on Founders’
Day at the school. The Malones are
planning to establish a branch at Chi
cago, 111., and Atlanta. Ga., and in
June will make a drive in the east for
a larger business.

of improving his work. We accomplish what others promise. The
smartness that satisfies cannot be pressed on a suit with a tailor's
