where we unloaded and finally went
into our eschelon on July z, and into
position the same night. At 5:20 on
July 8, just one year from the day
left Ordway, we got off our first shot
at the Boche and entered into the big
game in earnest. This was a moment
we had been waiting for for months
and 1t gave us kind of funny feel
ing to know that at last we were in
the war for sure. We had our guns
in a valley near the little village of
Artonges and on the 18th the Ger
mans shelled the town. 1t was our
first baptism and 1t gives fellow
feeling that cannot be described and
cannot be experienced but once in a
lifetime.

COLORADO FOOD BOARD
SQUELCHES PROFITEER

That the U. 8. Food Administration
for Colorado is still on the alert to
suppress profiteering is shown by the
case OF the fremont Delicatessen
Company, 401 Fifteenth street. Den
yer, heard by the food board last
week. The company was found to
have been charging 80 cents a pound
for butter and was promptly ordered
pound. which is the maximum retail
price permitted on butter under the
present market. A second offense
would result In the shutting off OF
the company's supply Of licensed food
commodities, the food administration
warned.

EVERY PHILADELPHIA SOLDIER WILL
COME FROM MEADE FOR PARADE

NOftint ed iron, iaxo One
the hearty approval Of all Philadel-
phians."
Charles Il. Hall, secretary Of Coun-
ellis Committee on Sustenance and Re-
lief, in discussing tentative plans for
the proposed parade. said that all ques-
tions OF detail would be taken up with
Isaac y. lIetzell. chairman. and other
members of the committee, on talking
ibout the parade. Mr.. Hall said:
This committee is the proper body
to care for the troops il they come to
Philadelphia. They could leave Camp
Meade early In the morning and de-
train at Washington avenue We could
rope off Broad street and give them
good dinner on the street There would
be so many men that 1t would be inn
possible to feed them indoors. This
brings up the question of weather. II
arrangements could be made DEPEND
ont upon good weather, H. would be
safer at this time of the year. As
this cannot be done. we would have TO
order 6000 or, more meals for quick
service. Dinner would consume an hour
and then another hour or two would be
set aside for the parade and review.
Following the parade tho men of the
various commands would then be al
lowed to scatter to their various homes,
until early in the evening. The COM
mittee could easily care for tho enter
tainment of the men, but the question
of transportation might prove more cost
ly than its $4,000 estimate published
l do not pretend TO speak for the COM
mittee and none OF these questions can
be definitely decided until the menu
bers get together"

MEADE BOYS EAGER
FOR PARADE HERE
BY a Sta1 Correspondent.

CAMP MEADE, Admiral. Nd. Feb. II.
Tell US when. That is all We want to
know. for we are ready TO march"
This is the latest word from Brigadier
General w. J. Nicholson. concerning the
big patriotic demonstration In Philadel-
phia at which Philadelphia soldiers are
to play the stellar roe.
Approximately 5000 men who will
have the honor of taking part In that
demonstration, individually and col
lectively. send similar message, for
like their veteran commander, they are
ready-in fact. anxious to go back home
and demonstrate to n grateful city how
they have developed from raw rockies
into well-disciplined troops.
That the plan struck popular note.
goes without saying. for every man in
the regiments that will participate Is
on tiptoe today. They want Philadelphia
to reach a decision quickly and complete
details for the parade. So far as Cen
eral Nicholson is concerned he would
be willing to have the entire division 60
to Philadelphia on February 22, but
because that would necessitate the up
setting of the regular training program.
such a plan cannot be executed.
Furthsr1nore, 1t must be borne In mind
that only two organizations, namely the
312th Field Artillery and the ais Infan.
try, are simon-pure Quaker City units.

but as the 30ith Engineers Is 90 per cent
Philadelphia that regiment must be In
cluded In the parade plans. Tho Phila-
delphians are scattered over the division
and virtually every one Of the forty-two
separate units has its quota OF Quaker
City boys, but General Nicholson feels
that the units that are to participate In
the demonstration must be confined TO
those that are recognized as being truly
representative of the city.
"It is true" he said today when dis
cussing the parade details. that the
3o4th Engineers Is not 100 per cent
Philadelphian. but such a big percentage
Of the men come from that city and its
suburbs that 1t ought TO be included with
the 3l2th Field Artillery and 3i5th In
fantry."
General Nicholson. when discussing
his part of the program. said that he
would arrange to have the soldiers
leave Camp Meade early In the morn
ing and return that evening. Such
plan would give the boys nearly six
hours in Philadelphia, or ample time TO
participate In tho parade and meet
their relatives and friends.
"A splendid suggestion" was the
comment OF Captain Fred w. Patterson.

Captain Patterson. "and 1 am certain
that every man would be benefited. The

tunity to display their ability in their
home city, and now Is the time to ex-
tend such an opportunity"
Although General Nicholson Is making
il possible for the city TO see his gallant
soldiers in action, 1t Is extremely doubt
ful whether he win be able to participate.
Just who will be given this honor 10
a question. and one that will not be de-
termined until General Nicholson re-
ceives definite information from Phila-
dclphia concerning the parade plans.
That honor may he given to Brigadler
General Everard T. Hatch commander
of the l5sth Infantry Brigade, which In
cludes the 3l5th Infantry, or It may be
given to Brlgadier General Andrew
Hero, Jr.. who commands the 154th
Field Artillery Brigade, which includes
the 3l2th.
Whoever is selected, Philadelphia will
have the satisfaction of seeing real
fghting man in the saddle. for both COM
manders are veterans Of the Spanish
