partment today urging that the mem

AL Badgerdom feels IN intense in
terest in its fighting men, but it is
only fair to those who went first and
are among the last to come back, to
say that very great interest centers in
the homecoming of the Thirty -second
division.
These men, gathered from cities
throughout the state and from the little
homes along the countryside, were the
first to respond to President Wilson 8
call. When they marched away not 4
few failed to realize the full meaning
.of war, and deep in the hearts Of many
was the feeling that the guardsmen
would go through period of training
in this country, then come back to Wis,
consin.
But fate held for these men all the
terror and all the glory of war. Be
cause they were so well trained, be-
cause they measured up to every fine
tradition Of the American army. they
were among the first to reach the fir
ing line, fighting side by side with the
crack troops of our allies.
They fought bravely where the fight
ing was the hardest, in the front lines,
in the trenches, on several sectors !:
sometimes in the darkness. of the NIGHT.
sometimes in the pearl gray dawn I;
sometimes by starlight. Their battle
cry was, ssOn Wisconsin, and thew
never failed.
They fought at Chateau Thierry-
the urning point in the war. They
hglred conspicnousIy in the battle of
Fishes. They were among the troops
that drove the enemy from the heights
of Verdun
They hammered the Germans back
to the Vesle and little later won adj
ded fame by capturing Juvigny during
Gen. Mangin's offensive north OF Sois-
sons, and thes,eby forced the enemy IS
Withdrawal FROM Chemin des Danes.
They swept on and on. in these and
other battles. They never faltered !;
they never turned back. They were
decorated and honored for brilliant
achievements that have brought ever
lasting glory to themselves and to the
great American state represented.
Gov. Philip is Oh his way to New
York to welcome home the rational
guardsmen of yesterday and the VIC
tors Of today.
Battery E. of Kenosha was denied
participation in the front line fighting
on account of the fact that the battery
was declared to be the best trained bat
terry in the division and it was selected
to have charge of instruction work at
Samur. It remained there until long
after the armistice was signed.
