commissioned officers, sergeants in the
Saith machine gun battalion, appeared
in the office Of Charles r. Barrett, ad
jutartScneral. yesterday and presented
- tho state the coors of their organi.
zltion which they had followed through
ths period CT their active service in
France. The colors. as 4 matter of fact,
arc the property of the war department,
but the rule Of procedure in such cases
is 20 deposit the flags with the military
department OF the state which furnished
q p"cpoEderancc Of mer for the organj-
zation. They can be recalled at any
time and will be restored temporarily
to the battalion for cere monies CT re.
unions. and permanently If the organi2a
lion should be formed again for service.
Plans arc forming for the formal pre-
sentatior TO the state of the colors of
the l3lst machine gun battalion and it
is probable that formal presentation
of the colors of the 344th battalion will
be made at the same time. Governor
Robertson will make formal acknowl-
edgment of the honor bestowed upon
the state and will voice the states guar
anty Of the safe preservation of the
