full force. Among them are three colo

Beautiful Memorial Service
Lieutenant Alexander lehman, on
the staff Of the 53d Brigade, ex-Com-
pany X, 7th Infantry, describes rev.
erently the memorial services held for
the dead of the 9th Division in France,
age paid by weary fighting men to their
comrades whose fighting work was for
ever done, who had found the great
rest far from home.
"The morning dawned clear, cold and
sparklingly beautiful. The whole coun-
try was dressed in soft, silver cloak
of hoar frost, while the sky was blue,
without cloud of any kind Such was
the setting at 7:45 q. m., when we set
huge rolling field, where we held q
memorial review for our dead. The di-
vision swung into line. big, but, oh,
much smaller than when you saw it
leave, and halted-one long line of
brown figures, with their steel helmets
shading their faces, young and yet old,
set mouths, quiet, stern eyes and brows,
nearly all with the little wrinkle which
usually means age, but here was the
mark left on men who had all killed
and seen their friends killed; men who
had got very close to life and death,
and who we're there to pay their re-
spects to the finest, truest, bravest lot
Of men in all Gods world-their dead.
AS | sat there in front of that line and
saw the men come to attention, saw
the flags dip, saw the selected bands
march out and heard them play that
beautiful hymn, Nearer, My God, to
Thee l choked up with grief for the
priceless friends who were gone; but |
held my head high-high with pride
that it had been my fortune to be
member Of their division.
at was wonderful. | can't tell it the
way want to, but if you had seen them
in action, going in and coming out of
action, wounded, dying, oh, the many
ways, you would realize that they are
beyond comparison and beyond praise"

I'VE Should Haze Had Some Saw
Vie1U of 27th Men on Prohibition,

Men Of the 9th Division believe that
advantage was taken of their absence
to fasten prohibition on the country.
Statements which they made yesterday
at Camp Merritt and Camp Mills
showed that they thought themselves
deliberately slighted. Some of those
who expressed their opinions at Camp
Mills we're:
Lieutenant Alexander lehman,
commanding headquarters detachment,
53d Brigade-"My opinion is that the
men would have liked to had some say
IN this little matter of prohibition. 1t
was too big a question to have settled
while hundreds of thousands of the
best men in the country were away at
war;

Troop, 53d Brigade Personally, l

Private Kalle Kemppainen, 106th In

but | think the fellows are right in
feeling sore because they handed it to
US while we were out of the coun-
try"
Private Abraham Newman, 106th In
fantry- We're all disappointed at this
prohibition business. We can't have
any fun now. Most of the men feel
No beer, no work l do, for one"
Private John Brady. 106th Infantry
"We're pretty sore about the prohibi-
tion deal. They picked nice time to
hand it to us!"
Private Olger Green, 1O2d Engineers
Prohibition makes no difference to

while. Most Of the mob is angry about
it, though"
Private l.. NJ. Edwards, 1O5th In
fantry-"I don't catch the idea of this
thing. Why didn't they wait till we
came home? 1t seems to me they put
one over on u.s."
Private w. G. Bryan, 105th Infantry

things they do in this country Why
didn't they ask US about prohibition ?''
Private w. E. Shipman, 1O5th In

ton. We fight for them and this is
what we get!"
Coporal Fred ]. Kennedy, 1oeth In
fantry--"It doesn't make bit Of diff
fenence to me. But wonder If this
is a sample of the consideration we are
going to get? We ought to have been
asked what we thought about prohibi-
ton"
Private Frank A. McNamce, 10eth
Infantry-"I don't drink myself, but
don't approve of prohibition. 1t means
unemployment for thousands, and it's

Chefs to Vie With One An
other in Serving Enticing
Menus to 10000 Heroes
Chicken for Every Fighter
Baker, Daniels and Other
Federal Officials Invited
to Review New York Own

New YorA's banquet to the returning
heroes Of the 9th Division will be
the most elaborate dinner ever served
in the city
Between $50 and 200 hotels will
serve enticing chicken dinner to ap-
pease the appetites OF the 26,0OO men
who march on Tuesday, March 25. AL
though finishing touches were placed
upon the banquet plans yesterday, it
was agreed that each hotel should be
permitted to serve the best dinner it
could produce after certain standard
specifications had been recognized.
Each soldier, for instance, will have
at least a pound and one-half of roast
chicken, with candied sweet potatoes,
vegetables, ice cream, pie, coffee and
other trimmings. But the hotel mana
gers we're not satisfied to serve stand
ard dinner, the menu to be decided
upon by the committee in charge Of
the homecoming.
1--WE have our own ideas of what a
soldier, who has spent many months
in foreign land, might want to eat
when he reaches home" said one hotel
keeper 81 don't see why we cannot
be allowed to carry out those ideas
and make this the greatest banquet
the city ever has SEEN"
Many Extra Dishes Planned
Every we'll" said Grover Whalen,
spokesman for the Mayors Commit
tee Of Welcome to Homecoming Sol
diers. produce the greatest banquet
you can and you will win the graft
tude of the city"
Whereupon it was agreed that while
the standard chicken dinner menu
should be settled upon as the founda-
ton Of the banquet, each chef should
be allowed to work out his own sal
vation concerning touches that might
add to the Homecoming" idea of the
dinners. Thick apple pie is to be
the piece de resistance of one banquet,
raised doughnuts will grace the ban
quet board Of another hotel, while
waffles will go along with the chicken
in third hosiery.
Invitations to participate in the re-
tary of War Newton D. Baker, Secre-
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels and
other Federal officials. They had not
been forwarded earlier because Of un-
certainty of the date of the parade
The invitations were sent by the May
or's Committee of Welcome to Home
coming Soldiers and bore the sigma
lures of Mayor Hylan and Rodman
Wanamaker, chairman Of the commit
tee.

The invitation to the Cabinet of
tlccrs was as follows:
"The parade and review of the 9th
Division will take place on Tuesday,
March Is, and cordially extend to you
an invitation to review our ilustrious
division. New York is proud of the
9th Division and we know that the ma
ton also is proud of the splendid war

had been so decorated, but they left it
for others to tell what they had done.
Come out here, Lothian, and show
YOURSELF" said private of Company X.
AS he said this the New Yorker led
to the fore Sergeant John c. Lothian,
of Rutherford, N. j., a member Of che
Old 7th, who was one Of five Of the 27th
Division who won the coveted medal.
"Go ahead and tell it YOURSELF" said
the sergeant, "and when you do tell it
don't forget O'Shca, who went vest in
after he had passed away"
While the New Yorker was telling Of
the prowcss Of the men from New Jer-
sey, the other holder Of the Congress-
medal came by and was made pris-
oAer He was Sergeant Allan l.. Eg-
gers, of Summit, N. j.. who, with O'Shea
and Lothian, won his spurs before

also comes from Summit" said the
New Yorker, "and these two boys were
IN charge of machine gun in the
thickest Of the lighting when their piece

that their efficiency had gone unless
they could get hold Of another gun.
They dropped on the ground and
held close to earth conference as to
what they should do. Presently they
sighted tank that had been disman-
tied by she'll fire, and over to this they
crawled. This tank looked as if it
might have something left in it, and
sure enough these men found a ma
chino gun and ammunition enough to
kili a few hundred Germans if the
Boches CHANGED to show themselves.
They climbed in, dismounted the piece
and within half an hour had this tank
machine gun working fast and furi-
ously against the enemy. They stayed
with the regiment throughout the en-
gagement, using this tank gun with
great effectiveness, but after an hours
fighting O'Shea was killed"
Among the arrivals on the Nieuw
Amsterdam was Major Raphael A.

Our boys had an almost supcrhuman
task before them, but they won't at it
philosophically, carefully, bravely and
confidently, and the world knows to-
day what they accomplished They
broke the unbreakable Hindenburg
line"
Another man who came home yester-
day was Corporal c. K. Henderson, OF
White Plains, who fought with Com
pany l., of the 107th. He wore the
Distinguished Service Cross and the
British Military Medal az honors for
his tcnacity and fearlcssncss along

hope that you will come as the head of
your department to review the divi-
sion that broke the Hindenburg line"
Further details of the Fifth Avenue
parade and military pageant will be
taken up to-day at conferences be-
tween Major General John F. Organ
and representatives of the various
committees of welcome.
Although nothing was given out Of
ficially at the headquarters of the 9th
vision at the Biltmore yesterday, it
lyn parade next Saturday hardly could
be expected to have the approval of
the commanding officers of the divi-
sion.
The date of the welcome home pa
radc has been set for March 25," said
one of the officers seen at the Bilt-
more yesterday. Suppose every bor-
ough should decide to welcome its men
home before that date. That would
not only interfere with the big well
coming event very materially, but
any enthusiastic part in the pro
gramme.
Hearst-Hylan Offer Discussed
81 feel very sure that there will be
no parade of men of the eth Division
untll tne Dig ruin Avenue parade mas
passed into history. Then, as the men
go home. they may have welcomes of
every kind"
Another feature of thA programme
that was the subject of interested dis
cussion yesterday had to do with the
probable appearance of members of
the Lcgislaturc-th state welcoming
committee-in New York City. The
Mayors Committee has offered to send
special Grain to bring that committee
to the city. But since the committee
was organized for the sole purpose Of
having a welcoming body that was not
contaminated by the presence upon it
of William R. Hearst, objections to
this plan were seen.
Should the legislators accept the
Mayors special train they would at
once become part and parcel of the
city welcoming body and associate
with Hearst upon ii. Nobody connect
ed with the Mayors Committee yes
terday would say what had been agreed
concerning the special train. 1t was
generally understood, however, that
the legislators would find their way to
New York without using this train,
thus maintaining their independent
status
