The responsibility of being a bread winner fell upon young Inglis, and he, seeing duty then as clearly as he saw it later, assumed it without a murmur, But he was ambitious to study, to get an edu- cation, to learn. By the closest struggle, he was able to finish gramimar schoo! and high school and go to the university, earn- ing his way thru all these institutions, and at the same time acting as the main support of the family. No work was too humble for him; no work was foo arduous. He sold papers; he was an errand boy; he worked inthe woods and on the water front. And he was intensely studious. This trait There are few men in this state better posted on history and international law. It was his early study of history and international law that caused Inglis to prepare himself, thru the national guard, for the defense of his country, and it was thru this early preparation that he was able to answer his country’s call and | give such a splendid account of himself. In private life, he has been engaged in various business enterprises, and prior to the war was in the hotel business. When war broke out, he was ready, however, to give up an enterprise in Seattle which, had he conducted it thruout the war, would have netted him between $40,000 and $50,- 000. The prospects of making money, how- ever, did not deter him from the line of duty and from the first line of service in France. He gave up the hotel, and took |hold of Washington’s own regiment, the | Second Washington. | There was a bond of affection between |these soldiers and their colonel that grew jout of years of personal contact. “Many }of them knew Col. Inglis in athletic work, |the colonel having been for cae years director of the Seattle Athletic dub. Many of them were the sons of former comrades jof his in. the national guard. Today, he jhas the earnest support, confidence and respect of the men whom he led and with whom he served. |Demonstrates Ability to |Get Results Inglis’ executive ability quickly asserted itself when the national guard of Washing- ton was called to service on the Mexican jborder. It was the only regiment in the jentire United States that responded to this call recruited to full war strength at that time fixed by the war department. This regiment, on two weeks’ notice, moved from the cool climate of American Lake, Wash., to the south end of Death Valley, where the thermometer registered 120 degrees in the TheSeattle Star Batered as Second Clase Matter May 3, 18099, ot the Posteffice at Beattie, Wash., under the Act ef Congress March 8, 1879. SEATTLE, WASH., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1920. He Was No Kaiserophile William Inglis, of Seattle, candidate for the U. S.- senate against Wesley L. Jones, of Yakima, whose resignation was demanded by leading republicans as well as by the people in general, after his pro-kaiser speech in the senate in 1917.

The regiment re mained on duty there for more than two months. While there, Col. Inglis secured all available comforts for the members! of his regiment, a few of which consisted of wooden floors for their tents, electric lights, wooden mess halls, running water in the company’s streets, and, better than all the rest, well-equipped shower baths for the entire regingent. Tears Thru Red Tape of | Official Washington The Second Washington regiment had ‘all these comforts long before any other regi- } ment on the entire Mexican ‘border had secured them, while many did not secure them at all. It was the result of the energetic and able efforts, and his knowl- edge of his subject, of Col, Inglis. This same trait, the ability to secure relief for his charges, the tireless work and energy, was demonstrated again when Inglis _be- came director of the Veterans’ Welfare com- mission. Again and again he tore thru When the Remember Jones! the red tape that withheld relief due to disabled soldiers, and secured for them what they were'entitled to. The colonel’s ability was so thoroly dem- onstrated that Maj. Gen. Franklyn Bell, at that time commanding the Western depart- ment, with headquarters at San Francisco, made Col. Inglis the commanding. officer ofall the troops in’the Calexico district, in- eluding both the national guard and units of the regular army. The result of his able handling’ of*the regiment was that the Second Washington returned home without the -loss of a single man from disease, an unusual record considering the severe cli- matic test the men were put thru. Shares the Hardships and Dangers of His Men A year later, the 161st United States in- fantry, formerly the Second Washington, was in training at Camp Mills, _ PeMperins to go overseas. It was 120 in the shade at Calexico, Per Year, by Mall, $5 to 60 TH EZ) LATE EDITION TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE INGLIS, THE MAN | registered below zero. But there was not an hour of the day or night that Col. Inglis was not on the job, seeing not only that the regiment was being properly trained, but that they were being well cared for. The men at all times recognized that their commander, Col. Inglis, shared their hard- ships during the long, cold winter months, as, indeed, he shared their dangers on the firing line. He was no arm-chair colonel. Six months after the 161st infantry ar- rived in France, the regiment was as- sembled at St. Aignan and converted into a replacement organization. The privates in the regiment were transferred to other combat units and sent to the front to va- rious organizations which had suffered losses in battle. The officers were retained at St. Aignan for the purpose of training other replacements arriving from the States. : Col. Inglis, however, insisted upon being transferred to the front. This request was at first denied because the duty of giving the new replacements the final training in modern warfare was important. Upon his persistent efforts, however, he was finally transferred to the front and placed in com- mand of the 109th regiment of the 28th division. He led this regiment in the initial attack in the Argonne forest on September 26, 1918. Inglis Leads American Army Into Germany After many days at the front line, ad- vancing many kilometers thru the forest, Col. Inglis’ division was withdrawn from thé line on account of its heavy losses, and} stationed in the rear. Col. Inglis, however, was then sent to the Third division and placed in command of the 30th infantry, which at that time was on the front line. Thereafter, the Fourth United States in- fantry of the Third division having sus- tained such heavy losses that its numerical strength was reduced from 8,600 to approx- imately 400, was put under Col. Inglis’ command. He was directed to reorganize that regiment and put it in condition to take its part in the great drive at that time planned against Metz. It was not long before the regiment was again in fit con- "dition to enter the front. ; So thoroly had Col. Inglis accomplished his task, and his qualifications were so ap- rent to‘his commanding generals that regiment was assigned to the most im- portant duty of composing the advance guard of the American army of occupation on its march into Germany. And it was Col. Inglis, the commanding officer of Washington's own regiment, that) led the entire American army on that tri- umphant march to the Rhine. Helps Secure Employment for Ex-Service Men But his work wasn’t over. When the armistice was signed, and the boys began to return to civil life, there were many thousands who could not obtain immediate work owing to the industrial. conditions following the change from a war to a peace status. Discharged with a mere $60, the price of a civilian suit of clothes, many of them literally were going hungry. The bonus bill failed in the legislature. The Veterans’ Welfare commission, however, was created. Col. Inglis was appointed director and placed in charge of the work thruout the state. Soon he had an organization in every county to look after the interests of the service men, securing employment fm them, helping to make adjustments of ac- counts between the men and the govern- ment in such matters as unpaid allotments and claims against the war risk insurance fund, providing places of lodging for the needy men, furnishing meals for them, and helping in a thousand and one ways. It was an arduous work; it was work that should have been shared by our United States senators and representatives. Inglis got results where they didn’t. His whole life’s carter—he is 45 years of age today—has shown that there isn’t a lazy bone in his body. He is a hard worker and an arduous student.
