With War Over He's ||
Anxious to Get Home |
With the war
i serving with his
unit as a part of the* Army of Occu- .;
pation at Rhcinold, Germany.
He enlisted in the regular army ,
five days after the declaration of •
war, April 11, 1917, and was then ,
transferred to Fort Sloeum, N. Y., |,
to a Coast Artillery unit. He was ! j
later sent to Fort Strong, Mass., •
and then to Fort Myer, Va.
Extracts from his most recent let- . :
ter follows: i
"The Second Division was formed j I
with the Fifth and Sixth Marines, ; 1
Ninth and Twenty-third Infantry, j-
Twelfth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth j 1
Field Artillery, the Second Engi- j
neers. Second Ammunition Train, the i,
Second Quartermaster and Motor j
Supply and went to Verdun, Toul-
Trayon sector which was a quiet one
at the time, to relieve the veteran j
French troops for service elsewhere, i ]
We were in this sector from March \,
15 to May 19, 1918 and showed their !'
ability to such an extent that when |j
they were relieved to put other I
American troops in their place for j '
training, we went in reserve be- j,
hind the English, who .were there j,
receiving the onslaught of the Ger- |
mans on the Somme. It was at this j
time that the Germans opened thein i
drive at Chateau Thierry for Paris ] i
I and General Foch being very much
[ in need of troops and having noth
; ing in reserve but the Second Amer
, ican Division, they were taken by
' motor trucks and train to Chateau
| Thierry to stop the Boche drive and
t to prove to the world that the Amer
j ican troops were as good, if not bet- i
| ter, than any other nation in this
! great war. It was here that the j
j Second Division not only stopped the |
l German drive but drove them back j
, across the Marne. It was while the [
j people back in the States were read- I
] ing in the paper about the Americans
and that the Marine and Ninth and
j Twenty-third Infantry were doing
j such wonderful work, backed by the
• Twelfth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth
j Field Artillery. We were fighting
j continuously for seventy-two hours
| without any sleep or anything to
| eat. After the battle cleared the
| French hailed the Second Division as
i the saviors of Paris.
•The Second Division came out
' far ahead of many other divisions
j by taking more prisoners, machine
j guns, light and heavy artillery and
war material. After the armistice
i was signed and it was decided to
I send an American Army to the
i Rhine, the Third Army Corps was
! picked.
"We are now all wearing our in-
I signa, the star with an Indian head
jon it, to distinguish us fropi other
| divisions. This is a small history
| of the division. We arrived in France
January 19, 1918, and have been
| going some clip ever since. My regi-
I ment has taken a great part in all
I the battles the Americans have been
I in. I am only too glad we could come
! across to help the French and show
] the world what we could do, but hate
ito stay over here now that it is
j over. I couldn't mention all the
; small incidents in my travels that
' makes a war both glorious and
hell."
Armed Intervention in
Russia Necessary Now,
Says Former Grand Duke
Paris, March 12. Former Grand
Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, who
arrived in Paris recently from the
Crimea, told The Associated Press to
day thta unless armed allied inter

situation would become so hopelessly
desperate that it would take years,
perhaps decades, to restore a sem
blance of order and bring about peace
in Eastern Europe. The former grand
duke is a brother-in-law of the for

These Durable Soles Cut
" Shoe Bills Down
j "For use around cement plants and
similar places where rough materials
i grind down soles quickly, I recommend
Neolin Soles. They resist wear sur

clinker department long enough to
! wear out two pairs of ordinary soles,
• my Neolin Soles are still as good as
, new," writes A. F. Miller, superintend
- ent of The Peninsular Portland Cement
; Company plant in Jackson, Michigan.
1 It is remarkable how tough and dur
' able Neolin Soles are. They are made
so by Science—comfortable and water
proof, too. They come on new shoes
in giany styles for men, women, and
children, and are available everywhere
for re-soling. Wear them, and cut
your shoe bills down.
Neolin Soles are made by The Good
