OTHER great day for New York. The city honors the 77th Division—the men selected two years ago from New York’s Tirst quota in the great National Army marshalled for the biggest task the United States ever undertook. The part the 77th played in accomplishing that task is a portion of the record of which New York has reason to be specially proud. What the 77th did is best given in a terse but telling sammary by the Commander in Chief of the American forces in France: “After slightly more than a month's experlence (on the quiet Baccarat sector of the front) it went into the Oise-Alsne offensive from Aug. 12 until Sept. 16 (1918), advancing against” strong opposition for twelve kilometers from near the Oureq River, crossing the Vesle, to a position a little west of the Aisne River. In the Meuse-Argonne offensive, in which it took part from Sept. 26 to Oct. 16, and from Oct. 31 to Nov, 11, it had to advance through the exceedingly difficult terrain of the Argonne Forest. It finally worked its way twenty-two kilome- ters to the north edge of the forest and captured Grand Pre. From Nov. 1 to Nov. 7 the division advanced thirty-seven and one-half kilometers from the Aire to the Meuse, capturing Champigneulle, Buzancy and all towns and heights on the west of the Meuse within the divisional sector. ° ® od “I want the officers and men of the 77th Division to know how much they have contributed to the success of our armies. They should go home justly proud of the gratitude of the Allies with whom they have fought and conscious of the admira- ton of their fellows throughout the American Expeditionary Forces. JOHN J. PERSHING.” These fighters who, after only two or three months’ training ai j the front, pushed ahead through the Argonne like veterans were in a special sense the soldiers of democracy. One day in early September, 1917, the city saw saveeak thou- sands of them march through its etreets—as yet ununiformed, witn careless shoulders and uneven step, straight from the jobs and habi\s of peace. And here they are, after twenty months, stalwart, erect, will sieady lines and swinging step, soldiers tried and of the best—super) demonstration that democracy finds the stuff that makes victorious ermies. : These men have gloriously proved that the principle of selective service was a sound one. \ They have proved that it was the surest upon which an industrious, peace-loving people could, when chal- lenged, create armies to defend its rights and its ideals. Let the city remember this and be doubly proud of them. And let the foreign born of New York, so many of whose sous march among these eturdy, victorious soldiers of the Republic, fcel the full ferce of the living argument for an ever widening, deepening ‘Americanism thut shall leave—even in this city of many nationali- ties—no room for the inveterately alien or disloyal. —— + WITH FIVE DAYS TO GO. HY has the Vietory Loan lagged? W ‘The chief reason is what Chairman Benjamin Strong of the Liberty Loan characterizes plainly as “a serious and discouraging lack of widespread public interest in the loan”: “We know that some of the largest subscribers to former loans are unable to file as large subscriptions for this loan and the shortage must be made up by a more widespread distribu- tion, and by a larger number of sales. Wider distribution—that is what the Victory Loan needs and must have. Why should it be so hard to get? Here is an investment which every intelligent American knows to be of the highest order in the security it offers and the return it pays. Added to their attractiveness as an investment is the strongest patriotic argument for buying Tee Notes finish of a big job. Leaving it to somebody else to ado is neither loyalty nor good eense, These Victory Notes are eminently worth having, and American} shrewdness no less than American patriotism ought to be putting then into millions of American pockets that contain few or no bonds o the earlier Liberty Loan issues. most widely distributed of all the war loans, New York must still raise nearly $1,000,000,000 to meet its quota. Let the individual New Yorker ask himself to-day and answer honestly: Can I afford not to be in on this Victory Loan? Am L in on it? In proportion to my means? Letters From the People.
