Lieutenant Albert S. Howard, Who Told of Slaughter of Camden's
Old Third Regiment at Sedan, Describes Few
Experiences of His Own
Lieutenant Albert S. Howard, who
wrote tho letter that told of tho heavy
losses of tho 114th Infantry, which In

his father. Dr. K. M. Howard, r.nfl his
wife, who live at 400 Linden , street,
Camden.
Even tho news of the signing of the
armistice did not' entirely lift tho feel
ing of depression that followed him
from the time his regiment went into
Its last battle on October 12.
"Columbus Day, October 12, will never
bo forgotten by the 114th," ho said In
a lotter written October 20, tho day his
division, tho Twenty-ninth, was rollevcd
by the Twenty-sixth.
He wrote several letters In tho latter
part of October, but It was not until
November 13, when he wrote to his wife,
that tho first sign ot cheerfulness ap
peared, "I am content to get back to civil
llfo as soon Vs possible. I am ready
to take up thS threads of life where I
left off on July 25. 1917.
"All hall to the National Guard." he
added. "It was the backbone of the army
In all tlie fighting." Writing on October
28, lio said:
"We 'Joko In spite of our surroundings.

"It It difficult to estimate tho num

this city," said Andrew F. Stevens, "but
It Is certain that the number will exceed
4 000. our men proved themselves lou
Per cent efficient when sent to the tiring
lines, and scores of them havo been
selected for special honors."
Stevens Is a banker and prominent
among members of his race. Ho Is

reception committee and promises that
the soldlets will get Just as warm a wel

"Most of our men." continued Mr.
