Tuesday a number of messages were received here announcing the safe arrival in New York of Neillsville boys who have been in Germany and France with the 32nd Division. The boys had landed in New York on Monday and immediately the Salvation Army War Department notified the parents and relatives of the boys of their safe arrival. The boys who landed Monday were Chas.
