 first that has been noted in this part of Connecticut in many. many months.

Rainbouv Boys Win
Highest Praise for
Bravery at Front

The courier of Americas aroused
manhood"
That was the characterization applied
to the boys Of the Rainbow Division
when they arrived in France and ever
since then they have been more than
rlaking good on that title.
There latest exploit is simply the
fulfllment of the pledges to mothers
and sweethearts during the long sum-
mer nights at Camp Mills last year
the further fultllment of the trust the
entire nation placed in this most pict-
uresque of all the fighting units sent
out to hurl Americas defiance at the
Hun.
Won Praise from Mann
Made up of the crack regiments of
twenty seven states. the Rainbow Di-
vision was trained by Major General
William a. Mann, now stationed at
Governors Island. in command of the
Workers, this contingent has been par
ticularly dear.
This was because among its units
were included the "Old Fighting 69th, -
besides quotas of picked men from the
18th, 23d, 7th and list National Guard
regiments.
These men were among the first of
the National Guard troops to be sent
tc France.
The Rainbow Division was the finest
outfit | ever commanded" said General
Mann, when, last January, he returned
tc this country after seeing his pupils
safely across. They will make good"
For a time the Rainbow boys re-
nlained out of the fighting. com pleting
their training on French soil Early in
February, they were declared fit for
fiont line duty, and were sent to Lor-
raine. Since then they have sustained
many losses and innumerable hard
ships, but, according to every dispatch,
nave every day been bearing out their
Ga chlet $ prediction and the belief of
New York and the nation at large.
