COMING HOME. 



Demobilization to Free Florists. 



As rapidly as possible the men who 

 arc at the army training camps in this 

 country and in the service abroad will 

 be returned to their homes, discharged 

 from further military service. There 

 were nearly 5,000,000 men under arms 

 when the signing of the armistice No- 

 vember 11 brought the fighting to an 

 end. Among these millions there were 

 several thousand florists and employees 

 of florists. Not all will be released from 

 the army, as a considerable number of 

 men will remain to do police duty in the 

 German territory the Allies will occupy 

 until the peace treaty is agreed on. As 

 these men come home The Ifoview will 

 be glad to publish the news. All that 

 is necessary is to send the particulars to 

 the editor. 



Harry Goodhew Dies in Camp. 



Harry J. Goodhew, of the Goodhew 

 Floral Co., Ann Arbor, Mich., died at 

 Camp Custer, near Battle Creek, Mich., 

 October 13, of pneumonia, which fol- 

 lowed an attack of influenza. He was 

 in the service just ten weeks, being a 

 member of the Headquarters Company, 

 41st Field Artillery. Mr. Goodhew was 

 in the florists' business practically all 

 his life, being associated with his father, 

 J. W. Goodhew. Three years ago he 

 and his sister, Miss Mabel E. Goodhew, 

 opened a retail store in the business sec- 

 tion of Ann Arbor, which she has man- 

 aged since he left for camp. He was 

 well known in the trade and his many 

 friends will be shocked to hear of his 

 untimely death.

 vious to his enlistment in the U. S. 

 Coast Artillery was manager of the of- 

 fice of the Kemble & Goodman establish-

Charles Gow, for a number of years 

 associated with H. E. Wilson, Roches- 

 ter, N. Y., is in France, a member of a 

 company of Canadian Mounted Rifles, 

 with the British Expeditionary Forces. 

 Private Gow left Rochester and went to 

 Canada to enlist before the United 

 States entered the war. After a short 

 period of training in Canada, he was 

 sent overseas and has been in many bat- 

 tles, among them being that at Viiny 

 Ridge. A hotter, dated at the front, 

 received by The Review correspondent 

 in Rochester, said that he was in the 

 best of health and having a wonderful 

 experience. Private Cow enclosed the 

 pliotograjih of himself, in tlie uniform of 

 the Canadians, which is reproduced in 

 the accompanying portrait.

 then to sergeant ami was sent to the 



third officers' training camp in June, 

 1918, coming out with a commission as

 lieutenant in 8epteniber and seems 

 likely to be retained in the service be- 

 cause of the special adaptability he has

 Greenwood cemetery greenhouses before 

 the war.

 he enlisted in the (ith U. S. Field Artil- 

 lery, going over shortly afterward. Be- 

 fore leaving for the ifront he was his
