Division
STANDARDS DECORATED
ent 10 Help in Giving Reception to
Returning sOldiers-Green Mountain
Boys on Patricia and winifredian

AFTERNOON reviewed tne returned 18th |
Division. Vermont's State flag was one
of three that was carried on the occa-
sion. following the decorating of the |
standards of those units in the division |
that have standards In presenting the
decorations General Hale stated that the |
presentation Of ribbons did not mean |
that the other units In the division had
not been cited and we're not entitled to
the honor, but that 1t was because they
did not carry standards. The Signal
| Corps, Ammunition Train and some
others did not receive the decoration.
None of the. 40 men decorated for brav
cry were Vermonters. according to the
best information obtainable.
| Men from Vermont were In nearly every
organization whose standards were
decorated. 1t is expected now that the
boats to meet the New Jersey will leave
the various docks about II o'clock We'd
nesday morning. The battleship with
some $50 Vermont boys on her will dock
about two o'clock If the present plan
is perfected according to the latest in
formation this evening.
Many delegations from Vermont are
| present to help in giving the reception
to the boys. Interest in Massachusetts
over the arrival of the New Jersey is
not as enthusiastic as when the others
came to the harbor.
