Gently invited all candidates,
apparently running counter to the
other picnic. Mr.. Robinson wrote
Mr.. Webster to have our picnic
postponed, but we couldn't very
well do that as our returned sold
iers and sailors, for whom we are
giving this picnic, expect to cele.
brate here on the fourth. The
most of them are working in Jack

can get off. We will gladly give a
picnic for the candidates at lat
err date if they will let us know in
time to prepare for it.
We would like a short notice put

possible, something like the en-

explain this to the candidates and

the deepest love and respect Is the
End Division. MY personal notebook
rejecting the stiry Of the operations
in which the. Americans have been en-
gagged indicates the End has done the
most fighting of any of our divisions.
The LIST, 42nd, and Goth Divisions,
it may be stated, will not agree with
this verdict. In fairness to the LIST
Division it should be said that it was
first in the trenches and in every bat
tie has given most excellent account
of itself.
The End Division is composed Of the
9Th and 9Th Marines; the 9th and 23rd
Regular Infantry, all possessing fame,
the 18th, 18th, and 18th Artillery
Regiments and the End Engineers.
In the early autumn of 1917, when
the American uniform was unknown
on the Western front, there came to
France two divisions of American SOL
ders hastily gathered together and
sent over in response to the demand
for early representation from the new
nation which had Joined the Allies.
These were the 1st and End Divisions.
