PRIVATE LANGFORD AT W. c. D.:
The point of greatest interest at the
Women's College this week was the
visit of Private Langford on Wednesday.
When the girls were told that return
ed soldier was to address them after
Chapel exercises, they expected mid
dleaged man, and were entirely unpre-
pared for the debonaire youth who fac
ed them. He was young, but he had
seen two years Of service on the Mexi-
can Border and he had been fighting in
France with Pershing until he was
wounded and ordered home to talk
Liberty Bonds, until he again was fit
for active service. \
Striking up and down the chapel room
Private Langford gave rapidfire talk
about the conditions over there. He
told how the French people applaud the
American troops, how Pershing said
those simple, immortal words at Lafa-
yette's tomb, Lafayette nous
VOLTA, how the American soldiers call
their commander "Perishing" because
''he is going to perish the Ger
mans" He told stories of desolation
in France. If anyone says that the
Germans can never reach America,
don't you believe it, he s lid. The only
thing that protects our women ani girls
of Belgium is that line of brave soldiers
Then he urged the girls to buy Liberty
Bonds to back up those boys 'over
there" Every man in my company
have one or more bonds he said, ''even
if he is fighting. Must we fight and
pay too?" After telling several stories
of heroism Of the fighting men, Private
Langford ended his talk by saying,
:" We won't stop fighting until we en-:
ter Berlin, and plant the Stars and
Stripes on the highest building they
have. Then we'll treat for peace not
before!"
Private Langford took &nnera at the COL
lege and sat at the Senior girls table. In
honor of him each table sang 2 parody
on some popular song: one of the most
popular being an account of the Amer
lean troops entry into Berlin. when |
