WILCOX ALSO Is
REFUSING TO SER We

New York is still being stirred with
the anti-Hearst feeling that has come
to head particularly since Mayor Hy-
Ian appointed Hearst as member of the
Committee to welcome home the Ameri-
can troops. Scores of citizens who
have been named by the mayor to sit
with Mr.. Hearst on the committee have
refused to serve with a man who has
been so "un-American" as Hearst.
Edwin w. Wilcox, graduate of Mid
dlebury, and well known here and in
Bridport, his former home, has, like
Herbert X. Twitchell, refused to serve
on the Committee. The New York
Tribune quotes MIR. Wilcox S reply to
the Mayor, as follows;
beg to acknowledge receipt Of
your letter of December 81, advising
me that my name has been suggested
for appointment on the Committee of
Welcome of Home looming Troops, of
whck Mr.. Rodman Wanamaker will be
chairman.
in view of The fact that ! had the
honor of being appointed to and have
continuously served during the war on
one of the boards of the City of New
York in relation to selecting the men
who went into this great war and, as
you stated in your letter, whose valor
and dauntless courage have helped as
sure for US the prospects of an early
and victorious peace. should have felt
further honored to be member of this
committee of welcome to assist in honor
ing the city's returning soldiers, sailors
and marines. but have been informed
that William Randolph Hearst is TO be
a member of this same committee,
having been appointed b, the Mayor as
chairman of a subcommittee on mill
tary affairs; therefore, in view of MIR.
| Hearst's appointment to this committee
and his long and well recognized un-
patriotic and un-American attitude
toward this Country and its govern
ment, and especially his position in OPP
posing sending men overseas to France,
am compelled to decline this appoint
ment.

deur, this passage of the young Amer
lean army before the hero OF the Ar
verni, whose proud motto I have taken
up arms for the liberty of ALL the
American army has made its own.
Through the whole length OF the
crowd, a culver of enthusiasm runs.
Frenzied Braves burst forth, shouts
of Long live the Americana Long
live Wilson, Long live the United
Statesl' Women and girls throw
flowers by the handful at the foot of
the Stars and Stripes. A sheaf of mag
nificent flowers, intertwined with
French and American colors, was offer
ed to General Foote, who bowed re-
spectfully, visibly moved by the hom-
age rendered by Clermont to the Amer
lean army. In the Avenue res Etats-
Unis the crowd was especially num-
erous. All the houses were decked with
immense flags; the soldiers passed UNI
der a triumphal arch of banners. In
the name of the merchants of the Ave
nue., two superb sheaves of flowers were
offered to the American officers by a
number of charming young ladies. And
the line marched on, among the accla-
nations of the crowd, through street
and square, until they came to Delille
Place, where the troops were dismissed
Before disbanding, the regimental band
played the Marseillaise and the Star
Spangled Banner, accompanied by the
laundering chorus of the crowd.
Tomorrow, our American friends
will have gone, We shall never forget
them. We have contracted a sacred
debt toward them. The blood of Yanks
and Poilus so generously poured out
together on the battlefield, has sealed
between them an ndestructible broth
erhood of arms
1.-The hour of departure has come for
the Americans at Clermont. But the
hour when we shall have forgotten will
never be marked on the great dial Of
time
Some Americans were saying to Ii,
last evening, with a hearty hand
clasp: We are leaving our hearts here
at Clermontl Clermont, too, will keel
for them in its heart good place, the
very best"

In between the latter two comes the
hearth-brush, which is life-preserver
