BY SOLDIER ED|TORFi'''
Regiment Called "Croxton's Ca
naries," to Leave Shortly, Has
Many High Lights.
by SERGT. PIX. WHITAKER.

Giving the devil his due is one OF
the best things Trench and Camp does,
and, while we are distributing COM
pliments and praise. we wish to dwell
a little on the SD Infantry, command
ed by that noble soldier and gentle
man. Col. Croxton, who will go soon
to Washington and most of the regi-
ment to New York.
Some time after the division had
wart western lads came to us, with
not only the freshness and vim of
the west but much of the culture
and art that are noticeable in those
men from q western metropolis. New
Englanders and southerners have
GENE to appreciate the type of man
hood they personify, and the reasons
are these:
From time to time the various well
fare organizations have enlisted help
from the ranks here in camp, and the
first and perhaps the finest ones to
answer came fro mthe esd. Conse-
quently they became famous for their
generosity as well as originality.
Their suspicious debut into Meade
society was made at the Liberty in
November, when their play Never
Again" was staged. This was imme-
diately followed by "rodeo' and
wild west exhibition that startled
spectators fl ON many miles. Both
the play and the rodeo were successes
and proved the versatility of the regi-
mental personnel.
Many have been fortunate to hear
Herbert Riley, concert cellist, erst-
while concert meister of the San
Francisco Symphony Orchestra. His
offerings both in solo and accom-
paniments have been highly compli
mented.. Weiss the pianist has done
splenid work, as has Carl Ecker, the
female impersonator, who has amused
thousands in camp.
The hand has been the busiest in
camp and the most efficient conductor,
Lieut.. Walters, is thorough must
clan.
Considering all these points, it is a
pleasure for the men of this camp to
realize and rejoice that these men are
among us. They are soldiers all and
interesting every one. and the title
"Croxton's Canaries" is a fitting and
we'll deserved one.

DANCE OF S|GNALERS
is A BRILLIANT AFFAIR

A brilliant affair, socially speaking,
day, when Company C. 211th F. S. B.,
gave dance and reception in honor
of the battalion. and the other COM
ipanies and their officers were the
guests of honor.
Dancing formed major part of the
festivities, and in addition there was
excellent jazz music at the mercy"
Of Lieut.. Walters and his 63d Band.
The music was positively the best ar
ticle that can be produced in Camp
Meade, and better proof could not be
had than to- be watching the hilarious
crowd Of young folks make merry.

18TH CASUALTIES HEAVY.
Lieut.. Moore, Chaplain, Among the
Wounded.

Although yesterdays casualty list
for Maryland is unusually long, it is
encouraging in that it contains, COM
paratively speaking, so few names of
men killed in action. The CORE
spondent of a Philadelphia paper,
writing of the casualties of the 18th
Division, says 1.-The names have never
been given out from the War De-
partment, as the personnel officers Of
the various infantry regiments and
machine-gun battalions tabulated
them in the weeks following the
withdrawal of the division from the
front. But" he goes on to say, with
perhaps the exception of hundreds
who were only slightly wounded dur
ing that magnificent assault of the
18th Division. the casualties have
been reported" not altogether, but in
driblets. This correspondent makes
a tabulation of the casualties in the
315th Regiment, "Philadelphia's
Own" which was in the same battle,
and finds that the BILLED. wounded and
missing numbered 4OS. The 313th syf-
fered more severely than that, but
the casualties which have come in
lead to the belief that the worst has
been told.
= Among the names in yesterdays
casualty list appears that of Lieut..
John Carroll Moore, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John o. Moore, 1908 Boone
street, who was wounded on SeDtem-
Der 81 in the drive north of Ferdun.

on the watch tower could deny
the urgency Of the need for rails.
ing more men. The prime minister
said no democracy has ever long
survived the failure of it's adher-
| ents to be ready to die for il.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that he and
| President Wilson. without previous
consultation-there was no opportu-
| nity--had laid down substantially the
same program of demands for the ter
| mination of the war. There was nc
man willing to make peace without
complete restoration of Belgium and
reparation, the premier said From
Germany there had been but one an
swer he added, "and it came from Won
Tripitz soul-never."
At Mercy of Prussians.
Continuing, the premier said:
"Our channel ports are not far from
the fighting line and unless we are
prepared to stand up to the people who
are dominating Germany, Britain,
British democracy. French democracy
and the democracy of Europe will be
at the mercy of the most cruel mill
tary autocracy the world has ever
seen."
Mr.. Lloyd George said that his and
President Wilson's war aims had been
acclaimed throughout the entente al
lied countries. There had been hardly
voice of criticisms, save from few
who wished he had made more extreme
demands. M
The socialists OF France italy and
Great Britain, he said. had accepted
them as very fair, general demands.
Had Answered "Never."
The premier said that Germany had
answered never to- his den1andefeF. a
reconsideration of the wrong of AL
ace-Lorraine, and had declared that
Germany would go on until Mesopo-
tamia and Palestine was estored from
the tyranny of the Turks. No single
war aims condition made by the Brit
ish trade unions had been answered by
any German authority, he added.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there had been
no answer from Germany on the re-
cent entente's war aims. Fleld
Marshal Won Hindenburg and Gen.
Won Ludendorff were brought back
for conferences, but Foreign Minister
Won Kuehmann was not allowed to
speak.
Go On or Go Under.
"Why?" asked the premier. BE
cause the Prussian military power is
dominant The answer to be given
will be given from the cannon's mouth.
'If any man here can find an hon
orabe and equitable way out of this
conflict without fighting it through"
the premier continued, "let him tell it.
My conviction is this-the people must
either go on or go under"
The view of the government, Mr..
Lloyd George said, was that it would
be folly to withdraw men from indus
tries one hour sooner than the need
arose, but that it would be treason to
the state. to democracy and to free |
dom if, when the need did arise the de- !
me- I'd should not be made.
Whatever terms were put forward by |
any pacifist orator, the premier de- |
clared would not be G led by Luden- !
dorff or the kaiser unless the British |
had the power to enforce them.

today entered upon the period of
industrial suspension determined
to accept patriotically whatever
hardshipS may come.
While merchants associations
and industrial organizations joined
in mighty chorus of protest be-
fore the order actually was pro-
nulgated at Washington, there
was a noticeable absence Of criti-
cism when the decree became ef-
fective. The New York Stock Ex-
change decided to remain open
while hundreds of retail estab-
lishments and big department
STORES planned to continue busi-
ness as usual, at least for the day.
Labor leaders, while deploring
the orders, asserted their loyalty
to the government and made ar
rangements to raise funds for the
relief of those thrown out of work.
A million workers will lose $780,
100000 during the period in New

of the estimates.
