Starts on Last Lap of

Four hundred Of the old 69th Regi-
ment who went to war with the Rain
bow Division last year are on the way
home. The rest of the famous old
command, whose names have been
transferred from the regiments mus
ter rolls to the roll of honor, lie under
little white crosses in various battle
sectors of France or have been in
vaided home.
The regiment, with requirements
bringing it's roster up to the fighting
strength of 2,700 officers and men,
sailed yesterday from Brest on the
transport Harrisburg, according to
cable dispatches, and is due to arrive
in sight of the Statue of Liberty on
the morning of April %.
What follows will depend upon the
disqualification plans of the War De-
partment, though it is certain that the
old regiment-under its new designa-
ton, 1G5th-will parade, and parade
alone. This was decided yesterday at
a conference between officials of the
