who greeted Majo General Edwards in
Boston yesterday was John Murphy of
Natick Mass, father OF Major John D..
Murphy, a graduate Of Norwich univer-

the cadet corps, and the conversation
which took place between them is par
ticularly interesting to Major Murphy's
many friends in Mortified As related
by the Boston Transcript, the converse
tion was a. follows:
Particularly laudatory was General
Edwards greeting to John Murphy Of
Natick father of Major John D. Murphy
Of the l0lst machine gun battalion. He
was announced as the father Of Major
Murphy
Which Murphy, the one with Logan
or the machine gun battalion?" asked
General Edwards.
major Murphy of the machine gun
battalion, was the reply,
"a great soldier" said the general.
Twenty -four and half years old, and
/ made him a major. No better soldier in
France They don't make them any bet
ter You should be proud Of him"
And as the father, who was himself
an officer Of the old 9th regiment in the
Spanish war, moved away, the smile on
his face indicated plainly that he was
prouder than ever.
