Colonel John j. PhcIan, in charge Mt
the armory, said he had no information
from any source about the return OF
the troops.
The Womcn's Auxiliary will meet
Wednesday and discuss plans for the
reception Of the 165th. The members
have been in almost constant touch
with men Of the regiment, both here
and abroad, and are practically ready
with their welcome plans.
There are about TOO wounded men of
the old Goth Regiment in hospitals
throughout the country. Most of the
wounded, who reside in New York, are
IN hospitals here.
While II Is possiblc that the FIRST
units OF tho regiment may have sailed
from Franco yesterday, it Is believed
more likely that they started from the
interior Of Germany, where they have
been on duty, and are now en- route for
port of debarkation.
Arrangements have not been com
pleted for Il parade of the Rainbow
Division, though it is believed the
lo5th Infantry will hold celebration
and parade similar to that given the
10th Infantry last week. The regi-
mcnt suffered severe casualties, and
has had many requirements.
Colonel William j. Donovan, who
went overseas with the rank of major,
is the commander of the 165th.

Inc departure Of the Baltic un-

lack of tug assistance, was viewed with
misgivings by White Star officials.
Captain Finch was informed he could
hold the vessel until the weather mod
Grated, but he said he thought he could
get away after the tide was about one
hour on the flood. The master and tho
SANDY Hook pilot who was with him on
the bridge made excellent calculations.

For sheer bravery and grit, officers
of New York's Metropolitan Division,

in the course of events in the War

member Of the advance party now here

deserved more one of the little tokens
IN recognition Of gallantry.

1orty-five years old, the father of four

OF English or English history or some
thing at Princeton, and somehow he
looked it. The men smiled at him and
called him THE Professor but soon
came to love him. When we got to
the front in the Baccarat sector in
June he began to show what a man
he was.

DON'T THROW AWAY

AS Did This Canadian
Officer

A Canadian army officer, William
Pemberton, of the famous Princess Pat
Regiment, told of the extraordinary
wear given him by pair of army boots
twice repaired with Neolin Soles.
Six months of trench warfare under
destructive conditions put the first
pair of Ne0lin Soles out Of business,
said Lieutenant Pemberton, ''but ordi-
nary soles would have gone to pieces
in much less time"
Don't throw away shoes that can be
repaired. Have them rc-bottomed with
tough, durable Neolin Soles. Any
cobblcr or repairman will do the work
for you. The price is no more thar
for soles that give less wear. Remem.
