LOYALTY OF MEN
TO CAPTAIN ART
SWEDBERG GREAT

Don't let any of the "hard-boiled'
guys back from the war give you
the wrong impression about the
loyalty between officers and sol
diers which took place during the
battles.
The men of Battery F. One Hun
dred Twenty-third field artillery,
can speak for Captain Arthur
Swedberg. who led them in France
and in the parade yesterday. In
their opinion, he was just what an
officer is Supposed to be. He look
ed after the men of his battery; he
kept his head at all times and he
now has the admiration of all mem
bers of the battery.
OF course there were times when
inconsistencies and war-weariness
got hold Of the men, but they could
always depend on Captain Swed-
berg to do the right thing at the
right time.
do you like your captain" a
civilian asked one Of the gunners
do we? Are we glad to get
back"" was the answer.

JOYOUS SCENES
WHEN BOYS AND
PARENTS MEET
Half Hour Before Banquet in Gym
nasium Produces Tears and
Smiles From Parents.

First greetings of the loved ones
was the big event of the day for re-
turning Battery F.
For half an hour preceding the
banquet and at the immediate con-
clusion of the parade, relatives
who had tickets were permitted to
enter the main floor of the gym and
it was here that the boys and the
folks got together in the welcome
home grip from MON" and pop
and isis"
And maybe you think there
weren't some welcomes. Big huskies
just threw themselves into the en-
braces and while MON" and pop"
might not have been in the same
physical condition that their hard
ened sons were. they braced them
selves and their enthusiasm made
up for the lack of physical strength
to return the embraces.
There were many scenes. Each
soldier had one of his own and
some had several. It was not I'M
usual to see a mother or sister lit
orally cling to their soldier boy.
One little girl of Il ran up to her
brother and threw herself upon
him, and while she was still cling
ing to him, began crying.
He tried to soothe her and asked
her the reason for her tears.
ST can't do nothing but just cry, "
she replied. So he let the tears run
their course as the easiest way out
of It. In a few minutes her eyes
Redeemed from the tears, were
smiling again.
And that was the way with many
groups. There Just had to be tears
from the women and there were
plenty OF them. OF course they were
tears of happiness and everyone
expected them, so none of the
groups attracted attention out OF
the ordinary.
Big Time for Boys.
Beats all how a feller's plans

change said one Battery F man
after he had greeted his family.
Here all the time you know, was
picturing myself sneaking home on
you and surprising you In all my
dreams of homecoming, l Just had
my heart set on sneaking in at
night and just walking in. I figured
all the time to keep you from know
ing that 1 was back in the states. I
wanted to drop in as a surprise.
But then this is the best after all.
1t sure was some greeting, boys"
Mayor H. NJ. Schriver and the
city commissioners were on hand
to greet the artillerymen and they
circulated around among the fell
lows and shook hands. And there
were the Spanish war veterans and
the G. A. r. who took occasion to
drop in and let the young fellers
know that the old boys were
watching them and thought that
they did some pretty good fighting
on the other side.
There wasn't note of sadness IN
the whole thing and It was time
when everybody was Just bubbling
over with happiness. It would have
been q difficult matter to tell
which, the boys or the proud par
ents, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts, were the happier.

CIGARETS GIVEN
AT BANQUET FOR
RETURNED LADS

The Red Cross canteen workers
were busy yesterday.
The returned heroes were pre-
scented with cigarets and candy by
the Red Cross Immediately at the
conclusion Of the banquet and the

accepted by the artillerymen. II
all went to top of a rafting good
meal for the men and they were

arrangements had been made for
their relatives to greet them
They remained on board their
train until their officers ordered
them to detrain, and despite the
fact that they were no longer in
the service, they showed The great
est Difference to their officers and
oheyed every command as quickly
and as smartly as they did before
they were discharged.
The result was there was no
no confusion and the whole pro-
gram was carried through without
a hitch. Considering the situation
and the opportunities there were
for slips which would have de-
stroyed the whole plans Of the
welcome home, the committee on
arrangements has reason to feel
highly complimen0,d upon the
thorough success Of the celebra-
ton.
Mrs. r. W. Kavanaugh, wife OF
Major Kavanaugh, went to Camp
Grant purposely to be with the
boys on their return. Major Kav-
anaugh commanded the battalion
of which Battery r was a part
and was anxious to be with the
men when they realized their
dreams of months-their return
home.
There is no question but that
the batterymen were pleased.
While they had a long hike over
the pavement, 1t was the happiest
one of their army career, and they
were more than happy that the
cities had provided so warm a well
come, a reception which on its face
did not need welcome branded,
but which in itself conveyed the
extent of the happiness OF those
at home that the men were back.
The men were pleased, too, that
the program WAS not long and that
there were many comments from
them that 1t could not have been
arranged more 10 their liking had
they prepared IL themselves.

1T was wonderful; Chicago could

This was the exclamation of
Major R W. Cavanaugh of Oak
Park, commander of the Third
battalion of the One Hundred
.Twenty-third, of which Battery F
was a unit, when asked ,what~he
thought of Rock Islands welcome
home for it's heroes.
But let me add" declared the
major, sit was not too good for the
boys. Nothing can be too good for
them. It was a magnificent turn
out of the people and the en-
thusiasm came from down deep in
everyone's heart 1 have not seen
it exceeded anywhere"
Major Cavanaugh and his wife
came on with the boys to Rock Is
land to take part in the welcome
celebration, because, as he ex-
pressed it, he wanted to be with
them to the very last.

we would occupy all Belgium with our
military forces and take our stand on
the Flanders coast. But in spite of all
the difficulties confronting England we
cannot at present hope to accomplish
that much. Still, Belgium's attachment
to Germany would establish a line of
policy, clearly defined. It would draw
Holland toward us, so much more so
as we. In alliance with Japan, would be
able to guarantee her the possession of
her colonies.
Thus We should reach the Continental
coast facing England and should ap-
proach the goal which the German navy.
in true conception Of its destination, has
been striving for. We should gain a
position enabling us during the next war
to carry on our foreign trade and COM
merce in spite of England.
This is the great ultimate goal we
never must lose sight of. We must have
Russia. oversee markets in South Amer
lea, colonial empire in Africa and coal
ing stations within and without our
colonies, enoircling the globe. If we
renounce the Flanders coast our navy
is entitled to compensation by receiving
coaling stations.
THE closer we approach the ultimate
goal, described above, the better. The
further we are kept from 1t the less the
profit will all the treasures invested in
this war bear.

LONDON, Sept 2.-The national execu-

resolved to recommend to the delegates
in attendance upon to-morrow's confer

for dealing in mines.
The conference will decide Thursday
whether to act Immediately with the

the Government to appeal to the country
on the question of naturalization OF

House of Commons David Lloyd George,
the British Prime Minister, said 1t had
been decided by the Government to re-
ject the majority report of Justice
Sankey's coal commission, which pro-
vided for the gradual naturalization of
coal mines. Instead, he added, the Gov
eminent would launch a plan for partial
Government control.
Under this plan the Government would
buy out the owners of coal lands, who

WASHINGTON, Sept, a. Before the
Senate Military Committee to-day
Major-Gen. John F. Organ, who COM
fnarided the Twenty-seventh Division. A.
Z. F., announced his definite opposition
TO the Baker March plan of army reor-
ganization on the ground that 1t was too
militaristio in principle and provided al
together too large a professional army.
In its stead the commander Of the
New York National Guard advocated a
scheme of compulsory military training.
which he said would produce In six years
citizen army Of 1000, 900 men at frac-
tion Of the cost estimated as necessary
under the plan embodied in the product
of the Secretary of War and the Chief OF
Staff
The proposed standing army Of 51o.-
900 men which the Baker March meas
ure provides is, in the opinion of Gen.
ORyan. sufficient to cNndemn the meas
ure. The world war taught one great
lesson, Gen. Organ indicated, and that
was that the combined efforts of whole
peoples were essential to ultimate VIC
tory, and that the final outcome OF war
rested not with the professional soldiery
but with the citizenry of the belligerent
nation.
The alternative scheme suggested by
Gen. O'Ryan provides for the training
each year of half a million young men.
They would receive during the first year
three months training. The remainder
Of their service would consist of weekly
drill and annual maneuvres. The train
ing officers would be selected from the
list Of honorably discharged officers OF
the present war. He would keep the
training out of the hands of the Regular
Army.
"Such a scheme would not be men,
ace to peace" declared the General. at
