Lieutenant McCullough Returns
From France to Become
Instructor in This
Country.
Lt. Phil M. McCullough of company
E, 408th Telephone battalion, son of
T. W. McCullough, associate editor
of The Bee. is visiting relatives in this
city en rqute from France to San An
tonio, Tex., where he will be engaged
in instruction work. Lieutenant Mc
Cullough has had especially favorable
opportunities for observing the 408th
battalion and comes back with a
cheering message to the friends and
relatives of the men in the organiza
tion. This battalion, a part of the signal
corps, was organized from men of
the northwest group of the Bell Tele
phone company and Company D con
sists largely of Omaha boys. The
men are located now, Lieutenant Mc
Cullough states, in one of the larger
towns in the central part of France,
in a very pleasant section. They are
in touch with many of the direct tvar
activities on the front, but so far as
person'al safety is concerned are in
absolutely no danger.
Indulge in Sports.
The men are all kept busy, but are
thoroughly happy and contented.
They are also majcing a great record
in the matter of health. The chief
recreation, according to Lieutenant
McCullough, is base ball. The two
companies are completely equipped
for the American national game, hav
ing bought some of the stuff them
selves and the rest having beetr'furn
ished by the Young Men's Christian
association.
Company D some time ago had an
opportunity to make a fine record for
itself among the refugees. The com
pany was located in a town which
was used as the point of departure to
various parts of France of large
groups of refugees fleeing from the
front. Under the leadership of Major
McDougall and Captain Gieret most
valuable assistance was rendered in
the matter of transportation. F"or this
work the battalion received special
mention from the Etat Major.
The condition of good health and
contentment which prevails in this
battalion Lieutenant McCollough says
is general throughout the American
army in France. He states that the
men are and have been completely
equipped with every needful thing,
and that the American army is the
best fed, best clothed, best tended and
happiest army in Europe. The only
complaint which any of the men ever
has is that they some times do not
get to the front as soon as they would
like. They realize that they are up
against a man-sized job and they want
to be at it.
Lieutenant McCollough comes back
in splendid health, glad to be home,
and greet his friends, but eager also
to be at his work again. He is par
ticularly anxious tl.ut the relatives of
the men in the 408th battalion shall
be assured that everything is well with
them "over there."
