Thursday by a conference of Sir Eric
Geddes, former first lord of the ad-
miralty; Field Marshal Haig and Nal
Gen. Henry n. Wilson, chief OF the
general staff of the British army, now
meeting in Paris, a statement issued
by the war Office tonight says:
'+The proposals of the conference

are not robbed of our victories, ana
the Germans and their confedeTates
Will be made to execute faithfully and

statement continues, that while Great
Britain is prepared to do her share of

TWO DIVISIONS BEAR
TITLE OF WILDCAT
Both Are From Same States, But
3Oth Appears Under Name in
Department Records.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. January p.
The 30th Division, composed of
Tennessee. North and South Carolina
national guardsmen, which left home
known as the ''Old Hickory Divi-
sion in honor of Andrew Jackson,
came to be called also the Wildcat
Division because the British with
whom the fighters of the both broke
the Hindenburg line termed the
Americans wildcats" and "hellcats,"
according to Capt David L. Lillard
of Etowah. Tenn.
The S1st Division. composed of Ma
tional Army men from the same states
as the both, chose wildcat as its
runofficial title, after the famous Wild
cat" road from Columbia to Camp
Jackson S. c., where the s1st trained,
and some confusion has arisen among
admirers of the two divisions. The
War Department records, however.
show the 30th unofficially listed as
both "Old Hickory" and Wildcat"
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Hatg
gave the 30th much of the credit for
smashing the supposedly invincible
Hindenburg line. and the division was
mentioned several times in the Brit
ish official statements for its dash and
bravery. The Tommies termed their
American comrades "hellcats" and
"wildcats," said Capt. Lillard, who is
at general hospital No. IA, Chicka-
manga Park, recovering from shrap-
mel wound received on the st. Quen-
tin front. He was commanding officer
OF L Company, 117th Infantry, of the
Goth Division.
And we were pretty wild over
there" said Capt. Lillard, with a
smile. He lay propped up in bed
when he was asked about the change
in nicknames.
The soth, which trained at Camp
SEWER GEeenville, S. c., wears chew
ron which gives recognition to the
"Old Hickory title. It is oval in
shape, formed by the letter 30" with
the letter H" inside, while within the
H is xxx" denoting the divisions
number. The letters are blue in a
field of red.

Names Unimportant.

I figured part of the time as Herr
Cody" and Eyre became "Hayer' and
Lyon was "Lans." Only Smiths name
escaped serious mutilation. Any one
who remembers the old Germany with
its "ausw eises" and its paper barriers
TO any part of free movement will
understand what an upset there has
been.
At CoblenZ we got the supreme jolt.
There we found the soldiers and work
ers' council installed in what had been
the ballroom of the best hotel. A can
non stove gIowed red hot in one cor
neF, for the night was cold. A dis
colored spot on the wall told where
the ornnipresent portrait of the kaiser
had been pulled down, while a red flag
was draped over the councils work
table.
We had been arrested in the rail-
road station by a young officer of the
old regime. who was the station COM
mandant.
Il only do my duty" said he. You
will understand that your presence
here is quite Irregular
We began to glimpse the terms on
which the revolutionaries and the
soldiers worked together. This young
lieutenant said frankly that he was
not at all in sympathy with the move
ment- However, he had been ordered
to cooperate with the revolutionists
and he obeyed orders. His four years
in command of The Coblenz station
had skilled him.

To protect holders of war savings
certificates against loss through Of
fers of persons or firms to purchase
them at amounts less than their cur
rent redemption value, Secretary
Glass has directed postmasters not to
redeem certificates which do not bear
the name of the owner or on which
the name has been erased or changed,
and not to accept certificates present
ed by persons or firms known to be
buying, or publicly Offering to buy,
war savings certificates or stamps,

In announcing the new order Secre-

forced to dispose of them. to have

SENATOR PENROSE TARGET.
Obstacle to G. O. P. Success at Polls
in 1920. Pinchot Saws.

A demand that Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania withdraw his name as
candidate for chairman of the Senate
finance committee, in the interests Of
republican success in 1920, is asked
in a letter to Senator Penrose by
Clifford Pinchot. former chief of the
forest service, one Of the leaders of
the progressive party in 1912. and
at one time a candidate for the Sem
ate against Senator Penrose.
Mr. Pinchot has renewed his al
Iegiance to the republican party, and
in his letter says:
Like millions of other republicans,
am. anxious to see the democrats
beaten in 1920. Like them. l see in
the possibility of your election to the
craftsmanship of the Senate commit
tee on finance one of the principal OBJ
stacles in the way of such victory"

Attitude of Officer.

I'VE are trying he said. " to inter
fere as little as possible with the
operation of the great machine which
is Germany. If an unskilled man
took my place-well. it would be a
grain of sand in the gears"
He was very pleasant but he did not
attempt to disguise his belief that we
would be stirring about in a large
black cell before morning. He did
not say so. of course, but he was
sternly official. When he came back
from telephone conversation to the
workers and soldiers council TO the
room in which we sat under a thinly
yelled guard he was plainly puzzled.
II am ordered TO take you to the
council" said ne. at is quite strange"
One desk in the ballroom where the
council met belonged to Count Won
Schmettow commander of the army
corps stationed at CoblenZ. Won
Schmettow was certainly not of the
new regime. He was "kaiser-mind-
ed" beyond doubt. and it would prob
ably have given him great pleasure
to hang his new associates as high
as Haaman ever hung. But the out
ward relation seemed a very pleasant

after the council had heard that we
were American reporters who wanted
to get to Berlin and find out what was
going on.

we suggested. Every minute counts"
"I'II get cars" said Donath.
But a difficulty interviewed. Cars
were not to be had. The only cars in
Germany are those in use by the army.
and Won der Marwitz's 5th German
Army did not have cars enough for
its own needs. Mind you. it was at
that time engaged in a hurried retro
grade movement, for the armistice
terms provided for a swift withdra wal
behind the Rhine. Cars were needed
more than they had been at any time
since the last movement. Generals and
staff officers must dash here and yon.
Il must have cars" said Donath.
He is not a reposeful person, this
tousIe- topped mechanic president He
banged one fist into the palm of the
other hand. The young subaltern who
had presented the army's excuses IA
vored Donath with a wholly respect
full salute. It lacked some of the
kinks and tensity he might have given
a general, but it was plain he looked
upon Donath as person to be obey
ed. It was then 2 o'clock in the morn
ing, but we sat on. Donath damned
the kaiser and the kings. 1 asked
him, through Sherman, if the auto
crat would ever come back.

heard the roar and asked what was
the trouble. They laughed at this
American who had suspected that the
kaiser might possibly crawl back on
his throne. They began to tell me
what the common people of Germany
had felt about their kings and kafs-
ers-although they admitted that Il

and officers would have leaped stiffiy
to their feet, their muscles tensed,
their eyes right, their fingers stuck to

waved his hand in greeting. Two or
three officers rose in a respectful
salute. The others sat quiet. Donath
finished what he had to say and then
