Germany has been asked to furnish

Belgium's demands were placed be.

Brilliant Record in l0l
Fighting Days, He Says
Won Where Others Failed
Two Battalions of Famous
Fighters Greeted by Thou
sands ON Arriving Here

Two shiploads of dusky warriors,
the larger part Of Colonel Bill Hay
wards old 18th New York, came home
yesterday. 1t was the anniversary of
the birth of the man who freed their
race. They had scars and wounds upon
their bodies. They wore medals two
grateful governments had hung upon
their breasts. They brought memories
of comrades who sleep beneath the
soil of France.
Colonel Hayward was with the con-
tingent on the Stockholm. 1t COM
prises. Companies A, B, C and D, the
headquarters company and the medical
detachment, twenty-nine officers and
1,O19 enlisted men. On the Regina
was the I'd Battalion, thirty officers
and 93l enlisted men, commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel w. A. Pickering.
The Sd Battalion arrived last Sunday
on La France, so the entire regiment
is here now.
Lieutenant Jim Europe also was
on the Stockholm. He is the only
negro officer in the regiment, but he
was by long odds the most important
about the time the vessel was steam
ing past the Statue of Liberty. Lieu
tenant jim is leader of the regi-
mental band, and there isn't a kink
or variation of Jazz of which he and
his bandsmen are not masters.
Welcome From Friends
The syncopating volume of sound
that swelled from the Stockholm's deck
found responsive chords in the hearts
Of the bronzed veterans on the trans
port and in those of the hundreds of
their relatives, friends and sweethearts
from their home district in Harlem,
who had chartered the steamer Correc-
ton to 60 down the bay. Swaying
bodies, swapping fingers, inimitably
contorted faces greeted each other
across tho narrow expanse of water in
that Language oflrhythm that only the
negro knows.
Suddenly the band swung into an
older melody, and hundreds of full
throated voices took up the refrain:
"Hail, hail, the gangs all here"--
They weren't, though, quite For,
as Colonel Hayward explained little
later, of the 1000 men of the original
10Th who went overseas only 1 200 have
returned or ever will return. The re-
naming 800, save for a few transferred
to other commands. were killed in ac-
tion or died Of wounds.
The regiment renamed the 369th

service, was brought up to war
