RAINBOW DIVISION.

TO BRING A BATTLE
Christmas Finds u, S, Men in
Good Spirits, but Anxious to
Fight PrJSSianS, Says OFF,
CiaI Statement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-'Over
there" where hate and horror dwell.
Americans of the Rainbow division and
other units this Christmastide are anx-
ious for battle.
only a small portion of the United
States forces has been tested by fire,
hut reports to the war department
showed today that training is proceed
ing so we'll that when the call of bat
tie comes, the Misunderstanding the
colors of nearly all the states-along
with other organizations, will give good
account of themselves as Americans
have always done.
The Rainbow boys are well and happy
at least, as happy as a set of men
could be whose steps stray far from
nome in the holiday season. They are
well supplied, too. The knick-knacks
from home have arrived and have been
distributed, but even were they not,
the Sammies would not want.
I'VE can get everything here that we
would have at home" wrote the son
of General Frank H. Mcintyre, army
censor, today, responding to a letter
asking him to say just what he really
needed or wanted.
Incidentally, both Mcintyre and Sec
rotary Baker approved the idea of
story of the Rainbow troops. Secretary
Baker held it would be proper to have
a Christmas announcement that ''the
Rainbow division in France for some
time is doing splendid work there" Cen
eral Mcintyre, censor, thought too,
Christmas message about that body
was proper, despie restrictive rules on
publication of arrival of units abroad,
numbers and location.
That the Rainbow mems training
proceeds well was his statement.
Have they been under fire yet?"
NO l believe not" he replied.
All his information, however, is that
the American units are shaping up well.
They are enthusiastic and apt. Training
IN the open, and hard and constant drill
are putting muscles of steel on their
frames and sending rich. clean blood
through their veins.
They have plenty of good. wholesome
food, the equal of home cooking, and
without the stint that conservation
rules apply to American homes. The
Yourg Mems Christian association is
providing them with clean amusement
and their rules are such that they are
less exposed TO vice. than they would
be in the average American city.
Secretary Baker and mis- aides are
nightly pleased with the spirit and
development of the men. Their push
and unity assure that Americas par
ticipation in the war will be whole
sOuled, earnest and vigorous and THAI
the tremendous task of achieving vic
tory will not fall into unwilling hands"
Baker voiced his confidence of vic
tory in message to the troops, and
extended the seasons greetings of him
self and the war department to the
men in training and over there"
