“Camp Dodge” Proves To Be Camp Fromer S.U.I. Men “Can’t Dodge”
Three Majors, Three Captains, and Thirty-two Lieutenants Represent the University . An Accurate Roster of the Men is Not Available.

   (Special to The Daily Iowan)
   CAMP DODGE, Ia., Nov. 27,----With a hundred or more former students of the University of Iowa in camp, that institution is more heavily represented than any other college or university. An accurate roster of the Iowa men is not available, but one man set himself to the task of preparing a little list. With very little effort he obtained the names of some sixty men, and it is to be assumed that there are many more there, largely among the enlisted men.
   The list of Old Gold constituents got together by the one man follows:
Officers – Maj. Alfred G. Brown   Maj. J.R. Day   Maj. Percy Bordwell (On special duty at Washington)   Capt. Atwell Tally   Capt. Harold B. Strong   Capt. C.A. Norem   Lieut. Francis Bewsher   Lieut. John Bowan   Lieut. Archie Nelson   Lieut. Ed Baldwin   Lieut. Verne Muth   Lieut. Howard P. Miller   Lieut. Fifer   Lieut. Wayne Currell   Lieut. Harold Newcomb   Lieut. Clifford Moody   Lieut. John Pfiffner   Lieut. John Foade   Lieut. Sheppard   Lieut. Paul Abrams   Lieut. Norman Landers   Lieut. Thomas C Murphy   Lieut. Roy D. Burns   Lieut. Earl Draper   Lieut. Paul Rockwood   Lieut. Arthur Zimmerman (On special duty at Washington)   Lieut. Wayne McMillan   Lieut. Leonard Keese   Lieut. LuVerne Smith    Lieut. Newman Dorr   Lieut. R.L. Sylvester   Lieut. Otto Schluter   Lieut. Ralph Potter   Lieut. Charles Stryker   Lieut. Andy Fedderson   Lieut. Leroy Rader   Lieut. Harvey Hindt   Lieut. Warren T. Spies

Sands   Private S.R. Meek   Private Johnson   Private Harold Irwin (In O.T.C. at Camp Zachary Taylor)   Private Carl Moeller   Private “Shawkey” Ross

LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIERS
   “Events move so fast that one does not feel inclined to write of them. By the time this letter reaches you French soil will probably be freed of foreign devils and we may even be able to say that Germany is in full debacle. We felt here in the circle which is mine, after the wonderful counterstroke of Foch which we saw and took part in, that Germany was done for. Now it seems certain. If only there is no sentimental weakening but only a drive through to the utter overthrow of Germany. That was always my feeling that Germany must be crushed by a military defeat on the Western front and that no stopping was possible until either that happened or we fell ourselves. I have had moments of dejection but I always have kept the faith. I have seen French soldiers weep, too, not in the cowardly despair of Germany at this moment, but in rage at the situation.
   I shall never forget certain moments we pass through when the heavens were very dark. But with Foch in command and American aid, one perhaps as important as the other, things changed. The Americans have made good--- but don’t let your papers make you forget that it is the French that still play the great role. The British have all my admiration too. A wonderful come back! STEPHEN H. BUSH.

PROF. MERRY ASSISTS IN SAVINGS STAMP WORK
   Prof. Glenn N. Merry, head of the department of public speaking, left Saturday night in charge of the team of men among whom is an officer of the French High commission to speak in behalf of the War Savings Stamp campaign. The biggest meetings scheduled will be at Mason City, Algona, Emmetsburg, and Estherville.
    Professor Merry is chairman of the speaker’s commission of the state council of defense, field representative of the Four Minute men in Iowa, and is generally prominent in war work.

LIEUT. R.N. GRIFFIN PROMOTED
   Lieut. Ralph H. Griffin, a former student of this university and a member of the Phi Zeta Epsilon fraternity, has been advanced to captaincy.
