WHAT OFFICERS'
INSIGNIA MEANS
Puzzled as to Whether He's
Corpoal or Colonel? This
Might Help
Unless one knows the meaning of
tha various colors, cords and other
insignias of rank, the devices on
sleeves and collar might be a bit con
fusing. So, in order that you don't
uintentionally address a sergeant as
colonel or a major as corporal, the
badges of offices that will be most
commonly seen during these days of
the mobilization at Mt. Gretna are
given below. The same insignias ap
ply in the regular service.
All the troops will be garbed in
olive drab and the sleeve insignias of
noncommissioned officers are worked
in in buff; the officers' collar insignias
jart- in gun metal, while the shoulder
I devices are in silver.
The Officers' linsignia
The hat cords may be a guide as to
what branches of service the Wearer
belongs. The infantry »wore a blue
cord about their campaign hats; the
cavalry orange yellow; the artillery
red: the engineers dark red, and the
hospital or medical corps, green.
Officers all wear a twisted black and
gold cord, with knot tassels, about
their hats. Incidentally, the officers
wear only their automatics and no
sabers. A single band of tirown braid
is worn on the sleeve of all the offi
cers up to captain.
Collar insignias are as follows:
Crossed rifles, infantry; crossed sabers,
cavalry; crossed cannon, artillery;
crossed cannon with shell in center,
coast artillery; adjutant general's de
partment, flag shield: general staff,
s'lar and coat-of-arms; aid-de-camp,
shield surmounted by eagle; quarter
master general's department, wheel,
crossed key and saber, surmounted by
spread eagle.
Officers' shoulder Insignias are:
No shoulder bar, single arm band
and officers' hat cord, second lieuten
ant: single silver bar, first lieutenant;
two silver bars, captain; gold oak leaf,
major; silver oak leaf, lieutenant col
onel; silver eagle, colonel; single
silver star, brigadier general; two sil
ver stars, major general.
Now for the sleeve markings of the
noncommissioned officers: Company,
troop or battery only—Chevrons, two
stripes, corporal; three stripes, ser
geant; three stripes with diamond in
crutch, first or 'top'! sergeant; single
bar across the chevrons, quartermas
ter.
In the cavalry there are additional
! insignias as follows: A leather-cutter,
; means "saddler"; horseshoe, "black
i smith," wheel, "wagoner," sergeant's
; chevrons with curved bar connecting
! crutch and trumpet in center, chief
| trumpeter; sergeant's chevrons with
| trumpet in crutch, principal musician;
j trumpet only, bugler.
! With the exception of the offices
that pertain to the handling of the
: horses the infantry special insignias
| ate practically the same. The color
! sergeant's device for Instance is alike
\in each branch. This is a sergeant's
i chevrons with a star In the crutch.
The battalion and regimental non
' commissioned staff Insignias are a
little more puzzling to the layman.
Tlir quartermaster sergeant's chevrons
j for battalion and regiment are pre
cisely the same as in the company
organization except that there are two
| bars connecting the crutches of the
I chevrons for the battalion officer and
' three for the regimental. The qfluad
| ron or battalion sergeant-major wears
a sergeant's chevrons with the crutches
spanned by inverted double stripes;
the regimental sergeant major's In
signia is the same except that three
curved stripes connect the crutches.
A regimental commissary sergeant
| wears a sergeant's chevrons, with a
! crescent in the crutch and three
I straight bars below.
IN MEXICO 70 YEARS AGO
[Continued From Editorial Pago]
all the sterling poems produced by
that contest "The Towers of Monterey"
easily bears off the palm. And what
will greatly add to Its interest, in the
mind of all Telegraph readers. Is the
fact that its author was that polished
scholar and courtly gentleman, Charles
Fenno Hoffman, who was, for many
years, an inmate of Ihe State Lunatic
Asylum in the suburbs of Harrieburg.
and who died there. It is a poem
that was once known to every lover
of literature in our land, and is well
worthy of a reproduction here as a
spirited presentation of how Monterey
was fought and won.
THE TOWERS OF MONTEREY
By Charles Fciuio Hoffman
We were not many—we who stood
Before the iron sleet that day—
Yet many a gallant spirit would
Give half his years, if he but could
Hav ■ been with us at Monterey.
Now here, now there, the shot it hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not a single soldier quailed,
When wounded comrades 'round them
walled,
Their dying shout at Monterey.
And on. still on our column kept
Through walls of flame its wither
ing way;
Where fell the dead, the living stept,
Still charging on the guns that swept
The slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast
When, striking where the strongest
lay.
We swooped his flanking batteries past
And braving full his murderous blast.
Stormed home the towers of
Monterey.
Our banners on those turrets wave;
And there our evening bugles play,
Where orange-boughs above their
grave, /
Keep green the memory of the brave,
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
We were not many—we who pressed
Beside the brave who fell that day:
Yet who of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest,
Than not have been at Monterey?
Btiena Vista, the Most Remarkable
Battle of American History
About the time that General Taylor
captured Monterey, one of the annual
or semiannual revolutions in Mexico
deposed the arrogant Paredes from
his brief leaae of power. The re
nowned Santa Anna who had been a
storm center of Mexican plots and
intrigue for twenty years, was recalled
fiom exile and Riven dictatorial power.
He promised the Mexican people that
he would soon rid their land of the
"accursed Yankees" (the term
"Gringoes" for the Americans had not
then been invented in Mexico. Its
origin will be told a little later.)
Santa Anna promptly took* the tleld.
By forced loans on the clergy, the
monasteries, the bankers, and in fact
anyone who was suspected of having
means, he raised large sums of money.
Soon he had an army of more than
20,000 men and ndvanced rapidly to
the fortified position of San Luis
Potosi with the avowed intention of
annihilating Taylor and bis little
army.
Taylor was not averse to accepting
>the gauge of battle proffered him and

pdvanced rapidly to meet the foe. Sud-1
dc-nly he was deprived of nearly all
his regular troops as well as a con
siderable part of the volunteer regi
ments. General Winfield Scott, an
illustrious hero of the War of 1812,
had been appointed to sumeme com
mand in Mexico, and hail formed the
design of landing on the Gulf coast
of that country and marching direct |
to its capital. In pursuance of the
plan he had called upon Taylor to 1
send htm the main party of the army
with which Monterey had been won.
Not only did Taylor lose the greater
part of' his army, but also those vet
eran subordinate commanders Worth,
Wool, Quitman, Twiggs and Pillow.
He was obliged to fall back to
Monterey.
It was not until February, 1847, that
Taylor had received a sufficient num
ber of men—volunteer regiments to
justify a movement upon the hosts of
Santa Anna. Advancing into the
mountainous region of Mexico, the
American general took up a strong
position in the pass of Angostina near
Buena Vista, a most appropriate Jiame
for a wild and romantic sylvan Scene,
for It Is Indeed the place of a "beauti
ful view.
hardships of Mexicans Marching to
Buena Vista
To Buena Vista then Santa Anna
came, much against his will, to tight
! General Taylor's little American army,
i The wily Mexican chieftain had de
; signed to remain in the fortifications
: of San Luis Potosi for the Americans
to attack him on the march to the
capital. But his government and peo
ple wore clamorous for an immediate
offensive against the hated Americans;
and none knew better than Santa
Anna, by his own bitter experience in
the past, how short was the duration
in power of any Mexican ruler when
one of the masses betame bitter
ak&inst him.
He accordingly began a march with
.in army of more than 20,000 men
which for suffering and fidelity to
theil leader has no parallel in Mexican
: annals. It almost seems as if the
Mexican soldiers, after all they suffer
ed on the way to Buena Vista were
| deserving of a better fate than the
| awful field of death that was awaiting
I them. Almost all of Santa Annu's troops
were destitute of shoes and many
had but one article of clothing. Dur
ing two days they subsisted on one
biscuit and a slice of meat for each
man. Part of the march lay over an
uttjer wilderness and the remainder
over crags and mountains, barren,
solitary and mapped in the horizons
of winter. So great was the scarcity
of water that it was accurately meas
ured out to the men, and the time of
drinking, as well as the quantity, de
fined in general orders. No man in
Mexico, eSccept Santa Anna, could
have held that army together for a
single day.
On February 22, (day of auspicious
onien for American soldiers) Taylor's
little band of 4,500 saw Santa Anna's
army, more than 20,000 strong, sweep
ing upon dense masses on every side
lint 1 crowded upon all the adjacent
heights. There was some desultory

Santa Anna possibly thought that
1 he was due for a pl-etty warm recep
tion from Taylor's men, even If he
dio outnumber the Americans more
than four to one, for, ere the conflict
began with a fine affectation of
! humanitarianism which he had never
j shown in his barbarities against the
j Texans struggling for independence,
I he sent General Taylor the following
; communication:
I "You are surrounded by 20,000 men
land cannot avoid suffering a rout and
being cut to pieces With your troops;
but as you deserve consideration and
pnrtlcular .esteem, I wish to save you
from a catastrophe, and, for that
I purpose, give you this notice, in order
that you may surrender at discretion;
under assurance that you will be treat
ed with the consideration'belonging to
the Mexican character; to which end,
- you will be given one hour to make
up your mind, to commence from the
moment when my flag of truce arrives
| in your camp."
General Taylor did not need one
minute to make up his mind. His sol
diers affectionately called him "Rough
j and Ready," and he lived right up
to the title in the curt response he ln
: stantly returned to Santa Anna.
How Buena Vista became one of the
j mosi glorious fields of victory
I which the Stars and Stripes ever
I waved must be deferred to the next
number of this serial.
