YANKEE DIVISION
EXTOLLED BY CHIEF
Gen. Edwards Tells Boston
Home Folk of valor of
Their Troops.

BOSTON, Nov. 26.-Major- Gen. Clar-
ence r. Edwards, who trained and led
the Twenty-sixth Division through
some Of the hardest battles Of the war,
leadership to vast crowd Of the home
folks, and the scene was probably I'M
precedented in New England history.
The Boston arena was damned with
men and women, many OF them gray
haired and many wearing the black
arm band Of mourning for those who
have fallen in batte. The reception
given to Gen. Edwards was the eli
max Of a full day. With tears in his
eyes the leader OF the Yankee division
said:
II wish to God that the stout hearted
boys themselves were here to get this
reception which rightly belongs to
them"
The Yankee divisisrT,he said. had
one Of the cleanest records OF any
troops that went overseas.

only ten days rest" he went on, they
never lost a fight, they were never

Yankee boys gained more ground than

Gen. Edwards told Of the Yankee
baptism of fire on She Chemin des
Danes. They were assigned to a sec
tor where the French had lost more
inen In three years OF constant fighting
than on any other part OF the front.
"A French guard commander told
me-" he said, when we took over the
sector that when the Boche wanted to
bolster up his morale all he had TO do
was to lay down a barrage and take
our whole front line garrison In this
sector then, they put our green troops

green boys in the front line had jumped
over the top and did not wait for the
Boches to reach them. They got to
the Boches first and with cold steel
drove them back to their own wire en-
tanglements. This put the Boche on
his mettle and he sent special de-
tachment OF shock troops to teach
these green Americans lesson. He

mated that the President himself had
not made up his mind.

With the date OF sailing so near this

planation offered Is that the Allies and
the United States had not reached an
agreement as to the number OF dele
gates from each country. The i'm
preston was received that the Presi-
dent has a tentative slate but is wait

now in progress before determining
whether there must be incisions in

As stated this morning in THE Sun.
Secretary Baker will not be one Of the

IS given as the chief reason why he
will remain in this country at least
until the President returns. Joseph Z.
Tumulty. secretary to the President,
also will remain there to keep the
President informed of all developments
in this country and otherwise assist
his chief. Arrangements have been
made whereby Mr.. Tumulty and the
President will be only one hour apart
on the cable. The cable companies,
now controlled by the Government,
have arranged for connections be-
tween the White House and the resi-
dence Of Prince Murat in Paris in
tuch record time that a message can

Governor E. L. Philip has been
elected president of the Mi Lola Cigar
Co. of Milwaukee to succeed the late
August Kurz, who built up the splendid
business this manufacturing concern
enjoys throughout the west.
Carrier & Pepper have been sampling
their 1917 packing at Footville during

Thos. Biggar, manager of the Walk
er farms at VAUDEVILLE, Canada, has
been visiting relatives in this locality
during the week. He reports they
have SO acres into tobacco this season,
largely of the southern types, all of
which is looking fine.
The flower bed in front Of The Carl
ton Hotel is devoted this season to a
fine type of tobacco. There are just 81
plants and each plant is expected to
yield one dollar for the Red Cross. Sc

Third Pavement Dance.

The next pavement dance will be held
between the high school and graded
school on Saturday evening next at
$50. The program will consist of a
number of musical and dancing num-
bers along the lines of those previously
given. In addition, the committee have
invited, and have every reason to be-
lieve that Sergt. Mahlon Ogden, one OF
the boys who left here with Company
M, will give an address. Sergt. Ogden
has been in France for number of
months, and the message he will bring
from the boys over there will be of the
greatest interest to all of us.
The committee have decided as ar
experiment to make this dance free.
While no purpose has at any time been
entertained of making money from
these dauces, the committee feel that
to make them free will perhaps make
them even more popular. The Edger-
ton band will again furnish the music.
The program will start promptly at
$780, If you feel that these programs
and dances are worth while, make your
sentiments known by boosting with
your presence and your voice.

Conservation of Food Items.

Local Food Administrator Hoen is in
receipt of the following information:
Farmers are authorized to buy seed
wheat for winter and spring planting
from any available source. Get the
best seed wheat obtainable. Buy It at
once. Plan for 2 larger wheat acreage
than ever before
The farmer is permitted to have
eight pounds of wheat -four for each
member Of his family per month up to
October /, 1918, out of his 1918 wheat
crop. The farmer is urged to take
substitutes of an equal quantity.
Beefiess days and beefiess meals are
no more. Beef may be eaten every
day Of the week at any time. The only
restriction is that beef from the lighter
grades of cattle should be used. A
general policy of conservation of all
meats, however, is urged as safe
guard for the future.

Our Third Community Picnic.


The third Community Picnic given
under the auspices of the Edgerton
Credit Association, August 9Th, coming
in the midst of the harvest season,
failed to draw as large an attendance
as year ago. While there was not
able absence of the men folks, the
women and children of the farmer
class were out in full force and the
program at the Driving Park was
greatly enjoyed. The morning ball
game between the Hardware and Por-
ter teams was a neck and neck affair,
being won by the former by score of
to /. The association was we'll pre-
pared with an abundance of hot coffee,
iced tea and lemonade that was served
free for the picnic dinners of all the
guests. A series of races, sports and
games followed that gave the younger
generation chance to win prizes paid
in Thrift Stamps. In guessing con-
test over the number of beans in
a glass jar, Elizabeth Carroll of Mon
ticello won first prize of $3.50 by guess
ing the exact number, 2023. Mrs. L.
w. Hutson took second and Anna Davis
third.
One of the finest games of ball ever
seen on the local grounds was the prin-
cipal attraction of the afternoon. In
the first seven innings neither the
Fairbanks-Mo or the Logan Squares
scored. After that few we'll timed
hits that landed among the crowd in
right field, permitted the Fairies to
score four runs, while the Chicago men
were BANKED. Had the game been
played Oh more open field there
would have been closer finish.
What was lacking to make up ire
memdous crowd at the Driving Park
was present at the pavement dance on
Swift street in the evening. A new
feature which took immensely with the
vast assembly, both at the grounds and
proceeding the dancing, was the COM
munity singing led by Prof. Gordon of
the University. Under his direction
he put thrills into the patriotic songs,
so that everybody joined in Justify.
This was one of the most inspiring at
fractions of the whole days entertain
ment. The two full blocks prepared
for the dancing gave opportunity for
thousand dancers to enjoy themselves
to the limit of their desires.
Much interest of the occasion CEN
tered around Lieut.. Leon Ellingson,
who had just returned from the battle
line in France, and everyone was eager
to grasp his hand and enquire about
our home boys cover there. " When
he was introduced from the band stand
by Prof. F. O. Holt he was given
rousing ovation that lasted several
minutes. He said he brought message
of good cheer to the mothers of the
Edgerton boys with him, all Of whom
were WE'LL contented with their lot and
anxious to get into the battle lines,
where they would give good account
of themselves.

DIR. HILL ON THE LOAN

Writing to the New York Times
the former United States Ambassa-
dor to Berlin, Dr. David Jayne Hill,
says:
The artful efforts of the Central
Powers to obtain a respite under
cover of a negotiated peace shouio
deceive no one and should not In
any way affect our activities in pros
ecuting the war, which is not yet
won.
'The first step toward an appeal
for a discussion of peace terms on
the part of the Central Powers
should be the complete evacuation
of invaded territory. The alterna-
tive is to drive the invaders out.
ITO speak of the Presidents pro-
posals as bases" of negotiation is
illusory unless they are previously
accepted as terms" of peace.
ct am moved to say this at TINS
moment because many well-mean-
ing people may be deluded into be-
lieving that the war is practically
ended, and that the money demand
ed to execute the plans of our Gov
ernment will not be needed. Such
a state of mind on the part or the
American people would Immediately
lessen the effect of our victories
