He said Allies may have reserves In
large force or may not, but he had
never seen any, He expressed the
belief that the reserves are here in
America. He paid high tribute to
the American soldier, stating that he
is undoubtedly the best fighting ma
terial in the world today. He said
the Allies would hold on until Amer
ica's millions turned the tide of bat
tie. He very graphically described
the great offensives conducted by the
opposing armies. He said the men
are trained to race horse condition
and thoroughly rehearsed before they
are launched in great drive. While
the men are undergoing intensive
training, plans are being mapped out
for the push" Photographs Of
enemy territory are taken by the air
photographers and to the minutest
detail everything is ready. The
drive Is preceded with fierce bonn
bardment. Trenches are soon blown
to pieces and the men take advantage
of shell craters for shelter. He told
of the terrifying power of modern
artillery. He went into full details
of the attack and enlightened his
hearers as neither literature nor
speakers had previously enlightened
them. In fact his sketch Of the prep
arations for a great offensive would
make a very lengthy story in itself
and one that fairly thrills with &C.
ton.
He mentioned among the horrors
of the battlefields the thousands of

lery fire He said the men, though
in spite of all the frightfulness, jest
and keep in good humor. Capt
Guest exploded the oft-repeated the.
DRY that an Englishman has no sense
of humor. He lightened his address
with many humorous incidents and
stories and he frequently had his au-
lience in roars of laughter. He
touched on the German atrocities
but stated that he believed they were
the result of the teaching Of the
German war school, finding in the in
famed minds of the German soldiers
ready response.
He urged those who remain az
home to refrain from writing any.

the front He pointed how depress
ing letters would greatly magnify the
danger for the soldier by reducing
his morale and preventing him from
taking the care of himself that is es-
sential to safety.
Captain Guest told much of the life
at the front, but it is impossible to
give more than a brief outline Of his
splendid description. He was loudly
applauded when he finished and
many of the ladies and men hasten

PAGES POTATO PATCH
 PROMISES PLENTY PRODUCT

One of the most promising gar dens that has been noticed in Skag- way this season is that of Town Marshal Frank Page, at the corner of Sixth avenue and State street.
 Two lots have been planted with potatoes, and the rows show that MT. Fage is some farmer, as the ground is kept free from weeds and the hills are all well hoed.
 It is safe to say that the yield will be satisfactory and this spud patch is a, pleasing demonstration of what can be done in the way or helping to win the war by growing ones own provisions. The only criticism that could possibly be made is the absence of flag in the center of the patch which would proclaim the garden as liberty garden"

Reception Committee Slips
Cog and DeKalb Docks
Without Amy Recognition

A royal welcome was accorded the
United States army transport Ore
gonian as she steamed up the bay yes
terday. The city's official welcome
committee with band went down or
the police boat patrol and sirens and
factory whistles screached from every
where.
The ship carried one soldier.
Three hours later the transport
Zacapa docked at Pier 1. Hoboken. She
had received the same generous
"howdy" down the bay and the soldier
band from Camp Merritt played furi-
ously as she nosed into her berth She
had thirty-four civilians aboard.
Shortly before dusk dimly camou-
faged transport, it's decks swarming
with 1920 soldiers and forty-four Off
cers-men from the 77th Camp Upton)
Division, the 18th Camp Dix Division,
marines and Sailors, most of them
wounded-crept noiselessly to Pier 2,
Hoboken. The Camp Merritt band was
nowhere to be seen and Red Cross
women and officers ran wildly about to
find it. There was an exchange of
greetings from deck to pier, but the
music which has made the return of
other transports so memorable was
gone, and the big ship filled with hero
fighters was docked almost without
ceremony.
Later, when those who made all the
noise they could on the pier were try
ing to swallow a lump in their throats,
up the pier came the band, marching.
not PLAYING. A wait; then few notes
and howl of wild cheering came from
the men who were nearly forgotten.
Someone Was Busy
Where the blunder was is a question.
The military authorities at Hoboken
had word that the De Kalb would
reach Quarantine about q o'clock and
drop anchor for the night. Maybe the
Camp Merit band took this for granted
and started back to camp. But the
naval authorities had different advlces
and announced hours before the boat
docked that she was coming.
With it all, those men from New
York who trained at Camp Upton and
those men from New Jersey who
trained at Camp Dix and those of
nearly every state in the Union who
were aboard, were mighty pleased with
the reception. They said they never
dreamed they would be hcarlded home
the way they were. In fact, until the
band piped the first note of "Hail
Hail, the Gangs All Here" they were
having the time of their lives throw

Gen. March Wins
Honor Medal for
Efficient Service

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Upon the
recommendation of General Pershing
and with the approval of President
wilson, Secretary Baker day awerd-
ed the Distinguished Service Medal to
General Peyton c. March, chief of
staff.
In presenting the decoration before
a large assemblage of army officers,
Secretary Baker laid stress upon the
TACT that it was won through efficient
service both in France, as chief of ar
tilleery of the First American Army,
and at home as chief of staff.
Secretary Baker said it was to him
a peculiarly happy circumstance that
the Recommendation that General
March be decorated had come from the
commander of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces. While the whole ma
tion joined, Mr.. Baker said, in acknowl-
edgrnent cf the herolsm of the Expedi-
tionary Forces, it was a striking indi-
cation Of the unity of purpose that the
soldiers overseas similarly appreciated
the work of those officers and men
whose duties had held them at home.
General March, in reply, said he
would take pleasure in presenting to
the Secretary very soon his recon-
mendations that other officers who
have contributed largely to the success
Of the American military programme,
although they have been forced to re-
main in the United States, be awarded
decorations.
General Pershing's recommendation
said:
GAS commanding general of the army
artillery of the First Army and as
Chief of Staff of the United States
Army, General March has rendered
services of inestimable value to his
country"

this afternoon, when he passed from
the deck Of the George Washington to
the French tender Tudno, which was
to take him ashore.
Ten minutes later he placed his foot
upon the soil of France He left Brest
at o'clock this afternoon for Paris,
where he is assured of great recep-
zion.
To-day saw the first moment in the
history OF the American nation that its
Chief Executive was in Europe. And
as an historic moment it was both SOL
emnized and cel6brated in a manner be-
fitting and memorable No military
victor ever received a greater demon
stration of might and power than the
thundered acclaim to the apostle of
peace from the moment his ship was
first visible in the narrow channel lead
ing into the harbor from the open sea.

Brest-the George Washington moved
slowly and serenely through lanes of
dreadnoughts and destroyers, whose

American army and navy, coming as
conqueror to aid the Allies dictate
terms of triumph and force peace upon

of aid from overseas, which the Ger
mans boasted never could be main
tanned. And he was almost the mill
ionth of that line who landed at the
port of Brest.
After his ship anchored outside the
inner breakwater the tender brought
him to the quay. Another tender was
loading at quay few hundred yards
along the waterfront. This quay was
