Lucky Seven Dominates
Famous 77th's History

REASONS advanced by a sew
enth son of a seventh son
why the Seventy-seventh Divi-
sion should parade on May Z:
The Seventy-seventh spent
seven months forming and train
ing at Camp Upton.
1t saw seven months service in
France during hostilities.
Its itinerary covered seven
different parts of the front, to
wit: Flanders, the Somme, Lor-
raine, the Vesle, the Aisne, Ar
gonne Forest and the Mouse.
Major-Gen. Robert Alexander,
division commander, first served
as an officer in the old Seventh
United States Infantry.
He took command Of the Sew
enty-seventh on August 7, 1918.
During his regime the division
captured 700 prisoners.
Divisions total gain of enemy
territory was seventy-one and a
half kilometers, reported as the
largest total advance on hostile
ground Of any American division.
And the boys are coming home
in the seventh month after the
armistice.

Veterans of Foreign Wars Taboo
American Legion Meeting.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars an
nounced definitely yesterday that they
will have no part in the convention
called by the American Legion in st.
Louis to form a permanent organizatio
of world war veterans.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars, said
one of its officials. is strictly a veteran
organization, no man being eligible un-
less he has served in a campaign out
side the continental limits of the United
States. There is no quarrel with the
American Legion, he added. but the Or
ganization prefers to limit its member
ship to men who actually had seen
service abroad.
Local posts OF the Veterans of Foreign
Wars are preparing for elaborate exer-
cises on Memorial Day. An escort will
be formed to conduct members OF the
Grand Army OF the Republic to the
Maine monument In Columbus Circle
where addresses will be made by Rear
Admiral Sigsbee and Mgr. John T..
Chadwick.

Finery Win Admiration on
Visit to Big Fleet.

The sailors of the fleet visiting in the
Hudson River witnessed yesterday the

The responsible parties, as one might
readily infer. were none other than
those members of the fair sex known
to the gobs as yeomenattes, notwith-
standing the fact that the Navy Depart
ment repudiates the term.
For long time these "Yeomen-F"'
