 Members of the 1e7th infantry. on coming ashore from the cruisers Mon tana and North Carolina, announced their wish to parade here next Mon day with the 165th (the old Sixty min tn New York) regiment
 The Sixty-ninth and the 167th for merly the Fourth Alabama, fought against each other in the Civil war, and Col. W. P. Screws of Montgomery, commander of the southern outfit, add ing:
 We would like to show that the old enmity is gone"
 We would like to parade with the 69th, Col Screws added, because we trained with them in Camp Mills, went overseas with them, fought beside them at Chaetau-Thierry and in the Meuse- Argonne battle, went to Germany to- sether and returned to Brest with them to embark for home
 But there is another reason. The old 69th and the old 4th Alabama fought against each other in many big battles in the civil war Now we want to pa rade with the 69th to show that the old eEmity has changed to friendship and to typify the fact that the north and south are really one"
 Colonel Screws stated that the regi- ment had 10 per cent casualties, 505 having been killed and 3,0oo wounded The regimental flag was decorated nine times and the unit had total ofStwo congressional medals, 9 distinguished service crosses, 25 croix de guerres and r different Belgian medals to its credit. The 167th was provided with two coione1s. the units on the Montana being under the command of Col. George Bare, recently promoted from lieutenant col onel. The winners of the congressional medals, Corp. Sidney F. Manning, of Flomaton, Ala, and Private Thomas c. Neibour, of Sugar, Idaho, returned on the Montana. Corporal Manning who was declared to be the most shot up man in the outfit" received nine bullet wounds in one hours fighting at Chateau Thierry, but did not quit until the ninth bullet hit him. Private Neibour has also been awarded for his bravery by his home state, which, it was stated, has named him adjutant general of the Ida ho national guard.
 Although he missed the congression- al medal, Lieutenant Edward Wren,s of Talladega, Ala, had many other decora- tions neatly wrapped in small box in his kit. The souvenir box contained the Belgian Order of the Crown the croix de guerre, the distinguished service cross and five citations
 Corporals A. G. Howie. of Mobile, Ala. and Charles Maas, of Selma Ala, each wore the distinguished service cross.
