Y. or on Way Here, Is Nation’s Pride. “The enlisted man Is the best man in the division; he is closest to the front.” “The division ts never on the de- fensive; it always is on the offen- sive.” Those two sentences sum up the! guiding principles of the ist Di- vision which will parade down Fifth Avenue next Wednesday under com- | mand of Maj. Gen. EB. F. MoGlachlin Jr., and with Gen, John J. Pershing at its head. The first expression erystal- | izes the opinion of the officers and the second is the unanimous senti- ment of every fighter in the outfit from’ the Division Commander down to last file-closer. Everyone in this country knows) that the ist justified its name by be-| ing the initial American force to land, in France. It was tho armed force that gave the French people the ac- tual and encouraging knowledge that America’s part in the war was not to be that of a aflent and inactive part-| ner, but was to consist of the super- lative effort of her vast man power alongside the Allied nations in the trenches. It was far from a well- equipped military body that landed at St. Nazaire in June, 1917; its of- ficers and men, while lacking in no way the grit, energy and valor that are the prerequisites of a soldier, were unschooled in many of the de- vious ways of modern warfare, but it said plainly to France that America was there with the utmost that it could give, THE JUSTIFIABLE PRIDE OF THE MEN OF THE 18ST. The men of the ist—at the Divi-| ston headquarters in the Biltmore and at Samps Merritt and Mills—are nat- ag they are also proud of the subse- quent noble record they inscribed on the scrolls of American achievement. They bid you look ut the casualty list | 21,433 wounded—which they maintain is the largest suffered by any division in the army because it does not in- clude men who left through accident or sickness and overlooks the fact that at least 5,000 men who were wounded in battle refused to be evac- uated to hospitals. Even when they were ordered back by officers enlisted men time and again sneaked back unseen into the front line. And while they were in quiet sectors hundreds of men would go A. W. O. L. to join the French when they learned Pe- tain’s men were about to attack. Not only did the total casualties ex- ceed the original number of men in the 1st, but as a natural consequence | the replacements were also more than 100 per cent, or 30,808, to be exact.

SPECIMENS OF FIRST BRAVERY NOW AT CAMP MERRITT, As for other re nrey ree it is Pretty bard to find a man Coed organization who does not aaibay tas ribbon for one or more medals his left upper pocket. The stalwart enlisted men seem to take it as @ matter of every day routine and stammer out their stories reluctantly when asked to tell how, where and why they won their honors. Witness, for instance, the square- jawed, blue-eyed, smiling Sergeant Michael Berchman Ellis, Company C, 28th Infantry. Ellis, whose home is in St. Louis, Mo., wears the Legion of Honor, the Croix de Guerre with and the Congressional M of Honor has been awarded to him. On his Victory Medal ribbon he wears five stars, two of them being silver | (for citations). Ellis, who has deen in Uncle Sam's service seven years this month and | who was with Funston in Vera Cruz, put six German machine guns out of business at Exermont, Oct. 6, killing their crews, and in addition brought in fifty-two prisoners, It was a foggy day and his company was advancing without the prot tion of a barrage fire. The machi guns, in two nests, held up the | vance, so Ellis, who was well to tl |fore, crept up on the machine gw and with his rifle and pistol them. When he was asked the stereotyped question as to how he felt while per- forming this feat he eaid, “Ob, it’s all in a day’s work.” A sharp-featured Kentuckian, who used to be a bookkeeper and teach @ commercial school, told under pres sure how he acquired the Distii guished Service Cross, the Croix Guerre with palm and the Medaille Militaire. He is Battalion Sergeant Major Jackson D. Burke, and he made his mark at Cantigny, May 28 to 30, 1918. The battalion commander noticed German tanks advancing and | wanted a barrage laid down, but the | telephone wires to regimental head- quarters were cut by the heavy Ger- |man fire, So Burke volunteered to ‘run through the rain of shells and machine gun bullets, and although the chances were a thousand to one 1918, | against him he got through and de- livered the message, which resulted in stopping the tanks, Subsequently he repeated the job to carry other mes- sages.

Although injured by the explosion of ashell, Allen dug out two companions who had been buried by the burst and took them to shelter through @ hell of fire. Besides the wound at Cantigny, when he suffered two broken ribs and internal injuries, Allen was hit at Soissons by a ma- ‘chine gun bullet that entered his cheek under his left eye and passed out of the back of his neck, and in the Argonne he was again struck by machine gun bullet in the arm, Herman A, Naimann of Gilead, who Is @ Sergeant in the Med- artment, 28th Infantry, has nguished Service Cross and Croix de Guerre, the latter ded by Marshal Petain. His work is a glowing example of the partment whose duty is to accom- ny the Infantry at all times—in the shes and over the top, On July nd 20 of last year at Soissons, no remained with th of attack during the f fighting to give first aid to wounded and to assist in the res- cue of injured men, Naimann, be- sides his war honors, has three de- grees in medicine bestowed by as many colleges.
