Private Wagner Protests
Private Douglas G. Wagner, on active
service with the American Expedition
aIy Force as a member Of Company C,
103d Infantry (26th Division), has
written to The Tribune expressing the
hope that his division will not return
to the United States through the port
of New York, "to suffer the humilia-
tion in prospect for those who land
there"
Private Wagner asks if the Hearst
appointment is the measure of New
York's esteem for the fighting men.
His letter follows:
al have just read of Mayor Hylan's
appointment of William Randolph
Hearst as chairman of the committee
to receive returned soldiers. What an
insult to the returned soldiers! Is
this q measure of the esteem in which
we are held by the citizens of New
York? Imagine the spectacle of fight
ing men being received officially by a
man who temporized with the Germans
when they were perpctrating the most
awful outrages known to history-a
man who condoned if he did not ap-
plaud, the sinking of the Lusitania
"Pcrhaps if the truth we're known
Mr.. Hearst appointed himself His
papers claim for him the heavy in
debtedness Of the Mayor and Mr..
Hearst would probably be glad to ac-
cept in payment anthing that would
tend to establish him as patriotic
citizen but to the men who faced the
Huns the name Of William Randolph
Hearst will ever have attached 80 it
an odium that cannot be obliterated
even with the aid Of the Mayor of New
York
His Appointment an Insult
Ills appointment Is an insult to us
all and serious reflection on Amer
lcas greatest city, and | sincerely
hope tho. 26th Division does not de-
bark at New York to suffer the humili-
alton IN prospect for those who land
there"
