/ Now, when the American Army
Eof Occupation is looking down on
the Rhine, and the censorship has
been relaxed, the Regulars are
coming into their own. Indeed,
there is no reason why the exploits
iof any American unit cannot be
described. The stories Of the Rain
bow Division, the Empire Divi-
sion, (tlre 27th.) the 77th of the
National Army, the Wildcat Divi-
sion, (the Western unit claiming
that designations, have been told
by atlmlring correspondents, and
| the changes haNe been Tang upon
the valor Of the Marines. But lit
tie has been heard oil the machl-
nelikc precision and unvarying
tcnacity Of the Regulars in action,
in part because it is their business
to fight without talking about
themselves. However, even a Re
gular is lnrman and likes to have
his efficiency recognized. SO
when the 1st Division enjoyed a
breathing spell at Rhine bridge
head the correspondents were ask
{ ed why they had overlooked the
Regulars and had writtem so much
about the achievements Of Nation
al Guard and National Army Di-
visions; also why the Marines had
been lauuded to the skies as super
incn when Regulars had done some
of the work for which the sea-
soldiers ilreceived credit-for ms
tance the capture of Vaux, which
was taken by a battalion of the
famous 9th Infantry.
| 1t is true that the Regulars, who

so TO speak, and therefore without
champions, had been more or less
neglected. The 1st Division. con-
sisting of brigade Of infantry, a
brigade of artillery, with a rcgi-
fmcnt of engineers, signal batta-
lion, and The usual adjuncts, had
been the first unit to land in Fran
ce, the first to go into the trenches
and into action, and the first to
win anonymous fame in the brisk
capture Of Cantigny; and. it had
fought on until The heights of Sc
