EDWARDS TRIBUTE
 ID CONNECTICUT
Boys From This State Clean and
 Brave, Leader Says

Maj. General Clarence E. Edwards, who commanded the 18th divison in France until recalled to this country by 2, still unexplained order of the war department addressed q large asseEn blaze in the Foot Guard armory, Hartford, last night at which time he paid g glowing tribute to tho valor of Connecticuts soldiers whom he led in battle on the blood soaked fields of France.
 Governor Marcus IT. Holcomb in troduced General Edwards as fol- lows: Tt lacks now one month from being two years since the United States recognized the fact that it was at war with Germany. It has beon about two years for the United States and for the countries of the world at War. The first thing that Connecti- cut did was to recruit her national idard troops to war strength and one year ago last August she sent the two units consisting of infantry and cavalry to France. This was the first national guard outfit to land Tn France. Within fourteen months from the time of their landing the war was over. The Yankee Regiment was known as the fighting regiment, the shock regiment. No troops had more part in the winning of the war than did those of the Twentysixth division. (Applause.) Ut was a grand fighting division and it had grand general. (Applause.) For nine months on the battleline up to the signing of the armistice it was com nanded by General Edwards (Ap- plause.) General Edwards will a1- Twenty sixth, And it gives me great pleasure and honor" said Governor Holcomb, turning to General Ed wards, who was seated behind him on the platform to welcome you, Gen erEl Edwards to Connecticut and to this capital. I have been told that the boys of the Twenty sixth Division were glad to follow you to hell ii necessary and I am sure that the people of Hartford would have done so also
 General Edwards rose and saluted the crowd, Everybody in the hal manifested his love for the father ot the Twenty sixth in like manner.
 Friends, his excellency the gover- aor, his honor the mayor, ladies and gentlemen and my comrades of the stout hearted lads for the third time today thank you for this generous whole hearted welcome. Tn only about

 Machine Gunners in Fords.
 When Colonel Howard left, young captain took command of the battalion. On the morning of the 24th we were in the Bois-Trugny with the French cavalry. The Boche were behind Trugny and Epieds and sent an order to the 101st Machine Gun Battalion, which was riding in flivvers armored, with a canvas top. You are independent cavalry. This order gives you the right of way through Fere- en- -Tardenos toward your ob- jective. Beat 'em to it. The ma- chine gunners got out their motors, took their guns on their shoulders and held the skirmish line until the infan- try could catch up with them.
 At s o'clock on the morning of September 12 in the Les Esparges sector, near St. Mihiel, I ordered the 102d Infantry to spare not an ounce of blood in taking Vigneulles by day light. This was across Hattenchat- telles, looking toward Metz. I was asked what about the 101st Machine Gun Battalion. who had gone so fast in their Fords that these had been taken away from them and they had been forced to use big trucks The 102d Infantry proceeded with their colonel into the dark. forming col unns of fours across the Soissors railroads, determined to prick tbeir way through. The 101st and 102d Machine Gun Battalions followed the infantry.
 The gunners took their machine guns out of the trucks and carried

 But Few CourtS-Martial.
 TA., one-half of one per cent. of courts martial, when the average in the Army was 3.9 per cent. Every or ganization of the 26th was cited fol gallantry and took pride in carrying on and looking out for the man ir the mud. We had no non-com batan troops in the 26th.

 Il don't blame you for fee,;r4 proud of them. Talk about thoso NutmegS fighting! The conduct of your men was magnificent. No com. mand was put through a harder test in the ten months struggle that we went through than were the Connec ticut troops. Often patrols went out into the night with a sergeant and four or five men Lieutenant Bishop and Corporal Olson, near Chemin des Danes, went out on a wiring expedi- tion. They wired all night under a heavy Roche fire. That was where we lost our first prisoners. Sergeant Shoehan and his party were captured. I went out 10 investigate and received the report that Sergeant Sanders and Olson and the rest of the band were dead or captured, because they had been outnum bcred three to one.
 Deeds of Bravo Men.
 T have seen the lads in the hos pitfalls with their eyes bulging out like tish-eyes from attacks from gas. with foam coming from their lips and have sat down and talked with them be- cause I wanted to find out the effect of the gas. Those boys did what they ltnII <>F+ men. who took their masks off when they found that their corporal was dying. The French would tell them that there was no gas. The experi- ence of the gas upon them made them seasick.
 II have spoken about Seicheprey and S. Mihiel and I have made a list i of the names of Hartford men who 1 have taken part there. These are names that ought to mean somethin g 1 to you:
 "Colonel Howard, Major Bulkeley, i Major Taylor Captain (now Major) 1 Westbrook, Captain fought to have ! been Major) Myers, Captain Cheney, i Major Rau, Captain Locke, Captain 1 Lockhart, Lieutenant Bishop, Wagon = CT Hampson and Captain Comfort
 After the reading of the names ! there was vigorous applause, and the ! audience rose once more.
 ! Major Rau a Valiant Leader.
 Major Rau was a wonderful char 1 acter, an old regular. who stood like a rock at Seicheprey. I never saw an 1 officer with greater modesty; never l saw greater grief than that he i evinced at the death of his friend, | Captain Locke. He told me how l Locke had withstood the shock at
 Seicheprey, fought like a tiger and
 dropped fighting. Rau bore a

General Edwards spoke, of Lieuten& ant Hastings and Petty, a chaplains from New Haven. He men toned the splendid work of the chaplains at the front and how .Ithey had to be re- strained from going over the top with the men. He said that chaplains were either 'angels or damned nuisances." ." Som etines, he said, they got human and when they were excited they often used gay language.
 Scores Army Slanderers.
 General Edwards denounced the preachers or alleged Christians'' who have been telling lies about the boys in the 26th Division and telling moth CTS that they would not have their daughters marry the boys who were coming back defiled and polluted. He said that he wished he could get hold of that preacher and brand him as a scoundrel and liar.
 The audience came forward and shook hands with the general and he told the fathers and mothers about their sons.
