9TH GAVE PERSHING
OVER 1000 OFFICERS
Famous Regiment, Officially
the 10th, Helped to Smash
Hindenburg Line.

New York city's famous Seventh
Regiment-down in the official records
now as the 1o7th- Infantry-has
achieved the unique distinction of
providing 1000 officers for the Ameri-
can army in France, over and above
the quota Of officers II has supplied to
tho units Of the Twenty-seventh (New
York National Guard) Division, Of
which 1t is a unit.
Word OF the old Seventies enviable
record for turning out commanding Of
f1cers was contained in letters from
high officers OF the Twenty seventh
Division which have been received by
Brig, Gen, McCoskry Butt New York
National Guard. The letters explain
that the officers who told OF the Sew
enth's achievement do mot suppose
that anything like this has ever oc-
CURED before"
The letters reveal also that Col.
Charles I. De Bevoise, recently in COM
mand OF the Seventh on the battle line.
distinguished himself and had been
promoted to the rank OF Brigadier-
General. Col De Bevoise formerly was
commander OF the old First Cavalry,
New York National Guard, and Is one
Of the best known OF the old Guard
officers.
1T may not be generally known In
the United States" says one OF the
letters, written October Z, that the
Twenty seventh and Thirtieth divi-
s!ons U. S. A., were the frs, divisions
Of the American army to hght on Bel
gian sol. but such Is the fact. and the
Twenty seventh (commande1 by
Major-Gen. John T. Organ OF New
York city) had the honor OF capturing

were numerous. There were also for
ward echelons OF light batteries, heavy
machine guns in concrete pill boxes
and fame throwers.
I'VE took hundreds OF prisoners, but
more were killed owing TO the fierce
nature of the fighting. I think the
history Of the war will show there was
no moro severe fighting anywhere,
even at Verdun, than that for the
preaching of the H'ndenburg line, In
which the Twenty-seventh and Thir-
tieth Divisions participated with the
British army"

fict between light and darkness, betwee.

barism, there is no middle course for men
loyal to their country and to humanity,
