RED KEYSTONE
A DISTINCTION
[Continued from first Page.]
son to the depressing effect. The
people at home have played just as
noble a part as the boys in the front
line. The success of our arms was
made possible by the sacrifices of
our wives and mothers and the men
worth while who for several reasons
could not get overseas. Without the
selfdenial and co-operation at home
we at the front could have accomp
lished very little.
1 .otters a Boon
"Many times I have seen a boy get
a letter from home when dead tired,
worn out and hardly able to get
along. After reading it, it seemed
that a ray of sunshine passed over
hint and he sprang to his task with
eagerness. He was no longer the
lone, tired soldier. He represented
u wife, a mother, a father or a sweet
heart. Their good name must bo pre
served. He represented them and not
himself. The women of America —
God bless them —did their part and
nobly. * * *
"Our regiment Is Just south o.
Metr. und in the same position as
when the armistice was signed .ex
cept wo have no outposts. Me are
now engaged in training. The rumor
still prevails that we will go to Ger
many as part of the army of occupa
tion. All of the 28th Division has
done splendid work, but we are
proud of our own regiment. In the
big American drive of September
28 up to the 10th of October, we
were the only unit that diil not in
the first fifteen days give way one
Inch. In one place the Boche dead
numbered 423 within a radius of
150 yards. The regiment with the
aid of four machine guns ctcaned a
whole Uoche division."
From another officer connected
with the 28th Division comes a let
ter which is of special interest to
Pennsylvanlans. Speaking of the
work of the Marines and the Key
stone Division he says:
"I know all of the facts in connec
tion with both organizations. There
is this to be said of every soldier
that was on the front line, he has
spent many a vacation under more
pleasant circumstances elsewhere in
spite of the fact that France is a
beautiful country. I'm naturally
handicapped in my praise ot the
28th. because I am a Pennsylvanian,
but when I read the editorial in Col
liers of September 21, I felt justified
in referring to them in no inean
terms. Furthermore, the red Key
stone which we now wear on the
upper part of the loft arm. is ccv
tainly a mark of distinction, as the
following episode will illustrate.
"One of our soldiers happened to
be in a large French city where he
overstayed his leave and was brought
before the general of that particu
lar district for disciplinary action.
The general looked at him and said:
"Young man. it's my duty to discip
line you in accordance with regula
tions, but inasmuch as I observe you
are wearing a red Keystone I 11 dis
miss the case against you. You
should be proud to be a member of
a division with such a wonderful
fighting reputation."
Referring further to the I,loth
Regiment, the same writer says:
"Scarcely an otfieei is now on duty
with this regiment who was with it
on the Marne, the Vesle or in the
Argonne, most of them being casu
alties. killed, wounded or missing."
He tells the story of a Harrisburg
olficer, who was ordered to take an
important position and did so under
heavy shell tire. "Owing to his pop
ularity with his men," he adds, "he
had no difficulty in having them fol
low hint and gained his objective,
in spite of the fact that other units
found it impossible. Later on the
major finding it was to no advan
tage informed the officer he would
arrange for a barrage to protect him
and his men in falling back to their
original position. But the officer sug
gested that the major not do so as it
would invite a counter barrage from
the Boche and undoubtedly result
in some casualties, and inasmuch as
he had already lost quite a number
of his good men, he asked permis
sion to carry out a plan of his own
which was to wait until darkness
and let his men crawl back one by
one, which they did without a cas
ualty. * . *
"I just want to tell you of a very
interesting little episode that took
place the last day of the war.
Promptly at 11 o'clock on the 11th
of November hostilities ceased and
hardly had the din quieted down
when Fritz came sneaking over to
our lines asking our men tor white
bread and trading iron crosses for a
bag of "Bull Durham." I guess that's
teaching them to eat out • ( your
hand, isn't it*"
Many Harrisburg soldiers are serv
ing in France with the One Hundred
and Twelfth Regiment of the Key
stone division. Sergeant Philip T.
Meredith, of this city, now with the
Intelligence Section, has written to

ROME TAKES WILSON
TO ITS HEART; NOW
CITIZEN OF ITALY
President Recognizes Great Honor: Sees Admiration For
Amerjica in Ceremony in Historic Capital De
signed by Michael Angelo
By Associated Cress
Rome, Jan. 4. —President Wilson
became a citizen of Rome last night. I
The ceremony took place in the his
toric capital, designed by Michael
Angelo. Assisting in the services
were King Victor Enimunuel and
Queen Helena, members of the Itul
ian cabinet, members of the diplo
matic corps, including Ambassador,
and Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page, and
municipal and military authorities.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, accompanied j
by the king und queen, drove to the j
cupltal after the dinner ut the Quir- i
inal. Following the ceremony Mr. j
Wilson w>id:
Act Honors America
"You have done mo a very great]
honor. Perhaps you can imagine:
what a feeling it is for a citizen of
one of the newest of the great na- !
tions to bo mude a citizen of this an- |
cient city. It is a distinction which 11
am sure you are conferring upon me j
as a representative of the great peo
ple for whom 1 speak. One who has
been a student of history cannot ac- j
cept an honor of the sort without i
having his memory run back to tlie ;
extraordinay series of events which :
have centered in this place.
"But as 1 thought to-day, I have i
been impressed by the contrast be- j
tween the temporary and permanent 1
things. Many political changes have j
centered übout Rome, front the time
when from a little city she grew
to be mistress of a great empire, j
Change after change has swept away [
many things, altering the very form !
of her affairs, but the thing that has I
remained permanent lias been the 1
spirit of Rome and the Italian peo- j
pie. That spirit seems to have
caught with each age the character-[
istie purpose of the age.
Spirit of Liberty Uppermost
"This imperial people now glad
ly represents the freedom of nations.
This people which at one time seem
ed to conceive the purpose of gov
erning the world now takes part in
the liberal enterprise of offering the
world its own government. Can
there be a finer or more impressive
illustration of the indestructible hu- |
man spirit and of the unconquerable j
spirit of liberty?
"I have been reflecting in these J
recent days about a colossal lilun-:
der which has been made—the blun
der of force by the central empires, i
if Germany had waited a single |
generation, slie would have had a'
commercial empire of the world, j
She was not willing to conquer by ;
skill, by enterprise, 'by commercial 1
success. She must needs attempt to j
conquer the tvorld by arms and the;
world will always acclaim the fact]
that It is impossible to conquer by j
arms; that the only thing that con-j
quers it is the sort of service which ,
can be rendered in trade, in inter- j
course, in friendship and that there '
is no conquering power which can j
suppress the freedom of the human •
spirit.
New Partners on Old Job
"I have rejoiced personally in the'
partnership of the Italian and Amer- j
/can people, because it is a new;
partnership in an old enterprise, an ]
enterprise predestined to succeed j
wherever it is undertaken —the en
terprise which lias always been that,
handsome name which we call 'Lib-;
erty.' Men have pcrsued it some- j
times like a mirage that seemed to |
elude them, that seemed to run be- i
fore them ns they advanced, but:
never have they flagged in their pur
pose to achieve it, and I believe 1 am ;
not deceived in supposing that in l
this age of ours they are nearer to
it than they ever were before. The j
light that shone upon the summit;
now seems to shine almost at our ;
feet, and if we lose it. it will be only'
because we have lost faith. A breath
of hope and of confidence has come!
into the hearts and minds of men.
"I would not have felt at liberty'
to come away from Affierica if 1 had '
not felt that the time had arrived ]
when, forgetting local interests and j
local ties and local purposes,. men ■
should unite in this great enterprise ]
that will ever tie free men together
as a body of brethren and a body of'
free spirits.
"X am honored, sir, to be takenj
into this ancient comradeship of the]
citizenship of Rom%"
After a visit to the municipal pal- j
ace, where he was made a citizen of 1
Rome, the President went to par-!
liament, where he delivered the fol-!
lowing address:
"Mr. President of the Chamber: j
Y'ou are bestowing upon me an up- j
preeedented honor, which I accept,'
because 1 believe that it is extended 1
to nie as a representative of the great,
people for whom I speak, and 1 am i
going to take this first opportunity!
to say how entirely the heart of the i
American people has been with the ]
great people of Italy.
"We have seemed, no doubt, in- j
different ut times to look from a!
great distance, but our hearts have'
never been far away.
"All sorts of ties have long bound j
the people of America to the people!
of Italy, and when the people of the
United States, knowing this people, I
have witnessed its suffering, its sac- j
rifices, its heroic action upon the ;
battlefield and its steadfnst endur-i
ance at home, touching us more |
nearly to the quick even than its j
heroic action upon the battlefield, we ,
have been bound by a new tie of 1
profound admiration.
"Then, back of it all and through !
it all, running like the golden thread ;
that wove it together, was our know- :
ins that the people of Italy have]
gone into this war for the same ex- i
ulted principles of right and justice:
that moved our own people.
"And so I welcome the opportu- 1
n'ty cf conveying to you the heartfelt j
greetings of the people ot the United !
Stalls.
Motives Must Be Pure
"Bt' we cannot stand In lhe|
shadow of this war without knowing \
the.."? are things awaiting as which ;
aro in some senses more difficult
than tl-ose we have undertabip, bo
cause, while it la easy ,o speak ..f
riglit and justice, it is "oo.ctimba dif
ficult to work vh; i out in prac- ]
ticc. and they wi.l require a purity
of inet'.ve and disinterestedness cf
object which the world l:ns rinr]
vntiitind before ia the councils Qf'l
i<H!ors.
"It is for that reason tho: it seem*
to me that you wi'J forgive me it 11
lay soo.e of the element* of the new:
situation before you for a moment.!
"The distinguishing fact of this]
war iS that great empires have gone.
to pieces and tho characteristic of j
these empires was that they held j
different peoples reluctantly together,
under the coercion of force and the
guidance of intrigue.
"The g.ent difficulty among such!
states as hose of the Balkans has:
been that they were always accessl-]
ble to secret influence, that they!
£L/LRRDSBTTRG telegraph
were always being penetrated by in
trigue of some sort or another, and
that north of them lay d sturbed
populations which were held to
gether, not by sympathy and friend
ship, but by the coercive effort of a
military power. Now the intrigue is
checked and the bands are broken,
and what we ure going to provide is
a new cement to hold these peoples
"They have now become accustom
od to being independent, they must
now be Independent.
"I am sure that you recognize the
principles as I do, that it is not our
privilege to say what sort of gov
ernment they should set up. But we
are friends of those people, and it is
our duty as their friends to see to it
that some kind of protection is
thrown around them, something sup
plied which will hold them together.
"There is only one thing that holds
nations together, if you exclude
force, and that is friendship and
good will.
"The only thing that binds men to
gether is friendship, and by the
same token the only thing that binds
nations together is friendship.
"Therefore, our task at Paris is to
organize the friendship of the world
to see to it that all the mornl forces
that make for right and Justice and
liberty are united and are given a
vital oragnization to which the peo
ples of the world will readily and
gladly respond.
"In other words, our task is no less
colossal than this: To set up a new
international psychology, to have a
new atmosphere.
"I ain happy to say that in my
dealings with the distinguished gen
tlemen who lead your nation and
those who lead France and Kngland
X feel that atmosphere gathering,
that desire to do Justice, that desire
to establish friendliness, that desire
to make peace resting upon right,
and with this common purpose no ob
stacles need be formidable.
Denounces Ilnlnncr •( Power
"The only use of an obstacle is
that It is to lie overcome. All that
an obstacle does with brave men is
r.ot to frighten them, hut to chal
lenge them, so that it ought to be
our pride to overcome everything
that stands in the way.
"We know that there cannot be
another balance of power. That has
been tried and found wanting for
the best of all reasons that it does
not stay balanced inside Itself and a
weight which does not hold together
cannot constitute a makeweight in
the affairs of men.
"Therefore, there must he some
thing substituted for the balance of
power, and I am happy to find ev
erywhere In the air of these great
nations the conception that tiiat
thing must be a thoroughly united
league of nations.
"What men once considered the
oretical and idealistic turns out to be
practical and necessary.
"We stand at the opening of a new
age, in which a new statesmanship
will, I am confident, lift mankind to
new levels of endeavor and achieve
ment."
President Wilson, King Victor
Emmanuel, Premier Orlando and
Baron Connino. Italy's Foreign Min
ister, had their first political discus
sion after a luncheon in the Villa
fciavols, the President's residence
while in Rome. The conference
lasted an hour.
During his speech the President,
constantly was interrupted by out
bursts of applause, and when he
ended he was accorded an ovation
which lasted until he passed through
the exit of the building. Outside,
the throngs in the street took up the
demonstration, which continued until
the doors of the Quirinal closed be
hind him.
The weather was warmer and
more balmy than the Presidential
party had experienced In France and
England, and there was a feeling of
relief on their part. The President
nr.et with really the first touch of
sustained sunshine he had seen since
coming to Europe, and he made the
remark during the day that the
weather reminded him of that at
home.
During the day King Victor Em
manuel presented General Diaz to
President Wilson, who compliment
ed the Italian commander-in-chief
on the magnificent achievements of
his army.
The President expressed regret
that he would be unable to visit the
Italian battlefront owing to lack of
time and the necessity to return to
Paris as soon as possible for the
work of the ptace conference.
WILSON'S HEART
OPENS TO ITALY
[Continued from First Page.]
reinforced by the spiritual affinity
between both peoples who had a
common watth in the virtue of free
political government.
Putins Under Yank Banner
"When lta'y entered into the war
a breath, a precursor of the Ameri
can soul, penetrated into the rank
and file of our army through the
means of our workers who returned
to the fatherland from America and
brought into Italy an echo of their
second patria. So, correspondingly,
the Italian soul vibrated In the
hearts of our emigrants enrolled un
der your banners when the Ameri
can nntion under your guidance
threw itself into the fight against the
common enemy.
"Italy, having now gathered to
her own bosom those brothers so
long sorrowing under foreign op
pression, and having reconquered
is preparing herself to co-operate
her security and true independence,
the confines which alone can give
with you in the most cordial manner
to reach the most practical means
for drawing into a single circle the
civilized nations, for the purpose of
creating in the supreme form of a
League of Nations the conditions
most fitted to safeguard and protect
each one's rights.
"Italy and America entered to
gether into the war through a rare
act of will; they were moved by the
purpose to concur with all their en
ergies in an effort to prevent the
domination of the cult of force in the
world; they were moved by the pur
pose to reaffirm in the scale of hu
man values the principles of liberty
and justice. They entered into war
to conquer the powers of war. Their
accomplishment is still unfinished,
and the common work must still he
developed with firm faith and with
tenacious constancy for tho pur
l
pose of effecting the security of
peace.
Toast to American Prosperity
"I lilt up my g ass, Mr. President,
in your honor and in the honor of
Mrs. Wilson, whose gentle presence
adds charm to your visit: I drink to
the prosperity and to the continued
and increasing prestige of the great
American nation."
In reply, President Wilson said:
"Your Majesty: I have been very
much touched by the generous terms
of theuddress you have just read. 1
feel it would be <1 tlicult for me to
make a, worthy reply, and yet if 1
could -speak simply the things that
are in my heart, I am sure they
could constitute an adequate reply.
"I hud occasion at the parliament
this afternoon to speak of the strong
sympathy tjiat had sprung up be
tween the United Stntes and Italy
during the terrible years of the war,
hut perhaps here I can speak more
intimately and say how sincerely the
peop o of the United States had ad
mired your own course and your own
constant association with the armies
of Italy and the gracious and gen
erous association of Her Majesty,
the queen.
l-'roodom tlrent Knterprlsc
"It has lien a matter of pride with
us that so many men of Italian origin
were in our armies and associated
with ttholr brethern in Italy itself
in the great enterprise of freedom.
These areno small matters, and they
complete that process of the weld
ing together of the sympathies of
nations which has been going on so
long lietween our peoples,
tA. i rosoO slaule rshrdl shr shss
"The Italians in th United States
have excited a particular degree of
admiration. They, 1 believe, are the
only people of a given nationality
who have been careful to organize
themselves to sec that their com
patriots coming to America wore
front month to month and year to
year fculded to places In industries
most suitable to their previous
habits. No other nationality has
taken such pains as that, and in
serving their fellow countrymen
they have served the United States,
because these people have found
jlaees where they would be most
useful and would most immediately
earn their own living and add to
the prosperity of the country itself.
Values Italian Aid
"In every way we have been
happy in onr association at home
and abroad with the people of this
great state. 1 was saying piayfullly
to Premier Orlando and Baron
Sonnino this afternoon that, in try
ing to put the people of the world
under their proper sovereignties,
we woui not he willing to part with
the Italians in ihe United States
because we too much value the son
trlbutions that they have made, not
only to the industry of the United
States, but to its thought and to
many elements of its life.
"This is, therefore, a very wel
come occasion upon which to ex
press a feeling that goes very deep.
I was touched the other day to have
an Italian, a very plain man, say to
me that we had helped to feed Italy
! during the war, and it went to my
heart, because we had been able to
do so little. It was necessary for us
to use our tonnuge soexclusively for
the handling of troops and of the
supplies that had to follow them
from the United States, that we
