"On Its Own"
Al Last

Three days later the French were
entirely withdrawn from the sec
tor, and for the first time the 18th
was entirely ION its own" in the
face Of the enemy.
Now began the grim business of
feeling out the enemy, testing his
strength, learning his disposition
and trying his mettle. The Ger
mans were doing the same thing.
The great game was to take prison
ers and to ambush and annihilate
patrols.
captain Blanton Barrett, of the
307th Infantry, the first officer the
division lost, was killed in one of
these enterprises. On July 21 he
led a raiding party Of ffty-four
men out into the enemy wire, which
had been previously cut. They en-
tered the woods beyond, and were
proceeding into the enemy trenches
when a bugle sounded and two

companies of Germans. with ma
chine guns, rifles and grenades, at
tackled from two sides. The Amer
leans, fighting furiously, frustrated
the attempt to surround and capt
ure them, but only twenty-one got
back to their own lines, and most of
these were wounded.
The only captivcs made meantime
by the Americans were three Ger
mans, deserters, who threw away
their rifles and with hands uplifted
walked into their lines. Through in
formation elected from them, how
ever, it was possible to Illustrate 2
number of cunning ambuscades laid
for the inexperienced New Workers.
During the period in the Baccarat
sector the various arms of the d.
vision were practised continually
against the Germans, the signalmen
gaining experience in the use of all
means of communication, by tele-
phone, telegraph, wigwag, and by
messengers, dogs and carrier pig
cons. 1t was by means of pigeons
that Colonel Whittlesey maintained
communication with headquarters
when he was beleaugered for four
days by the surrounding Germans
in "The Pocket" last October.

York drafted men went through the
submarine zone without sight of a
periscope. anG proceeded to the war
area in France via Liverpool. They
were fourteen days at sea, but were
given scant opportunity to get back
their land legs in England.
Germany was landing ponderous
blows upon the British and French,
and the Americans were needed, if
only to buck up morale. SO a brief
march from the landing stage to
the railway station was all the walk
ing they did in Liverpool. They
boarded the queer little side door
carriages of a number of British
troop trains, and next morning be-
fore daylight were in Dover. There
the men were CHARTERED in barracks
for a few hours of rest. Then they
boarded swift Channel steamers, and
in less than three hours the New
York troops were at the quays of
Calais.

First of ". A.
For France

A month later, General Bell hav-
ing been relieved on account of dis
ability, Brigadier General Evan M.
Johnson took command, and the
first contingent proceeded overseas.
That was March 81, 1918.
The Germans had begun their
final effort to smash the Allies be-
fore America could get into the
fight, and the 77th, trained to the
utmost by eight hours of drill a
day, for five months, was given the
honor Of being the first National
Army unit to be sent overseas.
Only the infantry brigades, the $3.50
and 154th, went over. The artillery,
comprising the 1921 Brigade, which,
because Of the unpreparedness Of
the country had been training part
Of the time with Quaker guns and
other substitutes for real material,
went over almost a month later, on
April "a, 1918, on the Lcviathan, the
monster German liner, which then
made her first trip to France.
The infantry regiments, the ma
chine gun battalions, and all the
units except the "wagon soldiers"
went to the war zone by way Of
Liverpool. Guarded by destroyers
from the time they passed the
Statue of Liberty, which is the
symbol of their division, the New

Chinese and Annamite troops of the
French territorial army.
Taxi Drivers
In the Saddle

Training here was intensive also.
They went to work with French
los; that is, the 3O4th and 3O5th
did. The 306th was designated as
heavy artillery, to operate 155-cm.
howitzers, which did not arrive for
some time. After nearly month
on the range the entire brig
ade put on a great artillery parade
as part Of the American indie
pendence Day at Bordeaux, with
former New York City taxi drivers,
longshoremen and sewing machine
operators in the saddles of the gun
and caisSon teams.
Through May and June, while the
artillery was in the south of France,
the infantry brigade was putting
on the finishing touches in the north.
One of the big things was grenade
drill, and company of the 3O5th
Infantry sustained heavy casualties
one day through an accidental explo-
sion in it's ranks. Some twenty men
were killed or wounded.
During this period the 154th
Brigade, under General johnson,
was sent to the Arras sector as

Calais, but they got no rest. In
stead, on May 6, 1918, they were
started on months intensive
training in British war practice, I'M
der the tutelage of the 39th British
Division. Instead of Fall in"
"Squads right or left" and the other
familiar American commands on
the drill field, they had to learn 'In
two ranks, fall in" and the British
drill sergeant's way of doing things.
And they were put through eight or
ten mile hikes every day, within
sound of the guns hammering at
Mont KENNEL and Ypres.
Here the Germans. got first blood
from the division. Every moonlight
night their aerial raiders came
over. The men said it was. because
they knew the Americans had
landed and where they were billeted

in addition to the drills with rifles,
bayonets and gas masks, detach-

Gathered From
Every Walk

From every walk was gathered
that day the youth to make up the
city's contribution to the yet nebu-
lous National Army. Some wore
their oldest clothes, some their best.
One young man reported in the
brilliant full dress uniform of a
marine, wearing a marksman's
medal, and one tall young steve
dore, who now lies in the Argonne,
was caught late at farewell party
and had to report in a dress suit
Still wearing a silk "kelly" and
swallowtail, he was one Of wood
cutting party next day at the camp,
and the worst of it was, it was a
rented dress suit at $3.50 a day.
Yaphank, in those now remote
days, resembled new oil town or
mining camp. The officers, them
selves civilians only a few weeks
before, had reported from Platts-
burg training camp and were still
going to school, learning the trade
of war, when the men began arriv-
ing.
Between that day and February
%, 1918, General Bell and his Off
GERS performed the task Of making
fighting men of the material given
them by the city. The unfit were
weeded out. The remainder, hun
dreds Of whom had been round
shouldered bookkeepers, or had The
curving backs of men who spent
their days cross-legged on tailors'
benches or at the whirring machines
of clothing factories, became 1.-the,
straight limbed and ruddy.
New York was given it's first and
only view of the transformation on
Washington's Birthday. General
Bell led his division in review on
Fifth Avenue. The day was cold;
the worst series of blizzards in the
citys history had just passed. 1t was
showing, and the breath of the
middle-aged colonies frosted their
grizzled mustaches as they led their
regiments between two densely
packed lines Of spectators

While the infantry and machine

was then principally noted for the

racks where Napoleon once quar-

pected to invade England after his
navy had beaten the British fleet, a
feat it never performed. There
were rats in the barracks as big as
cats. The wagon soldiers also
averred that at night they could see
Napoleon himself striding about,
Enthusiastically Napoleon, but wearing
an unaccustomed uniform - the

Later, having been assigned to
training at Camp Souge, near Bor-
deaux, the artillery brigade passed
through regions of the ancient
province where no French was
spoken and the only language was
Gaelic, as pure as that practised by
the Irish nationalists.
At Camp Souge the troops got
their first sight of prisoners of war,

Fit For a
Harder Game

At the end of July the French
and American commanders consid-
cred the division fit to take it's place
beside veterans in the vital sectors
and try conclusions with the picked
divisions of the German army.
Ludendorff's final play for vic
tory had been checkmated by Foch.
He had passed the peak of his driv-
ing power. The turn of the Allies
at last had come, and the 18th was
destined to the Vesle. The Vesle
River resembles the Esopus. near
Kingston, which Judge Alton b.
Parker brought into some notice by
swimming in it while a candidate
against Colonel Roosevelt for the
Presidency in 1904. Compared to
what the division encountered on
the Vesle the Baccarat experience
was merely shadow boxing. Here
the men found the real thing-a
crack division of the Kaiser's I'M
perial Guard. They soon came to
call the position the Hell Hole Of
the Vesle." 1t was after the Ger
mans had been battered at Chateau
Thierry. They had begun to stag
ger and reel, but had plenty of fight
left.
The front lines of the sector as
signed to the 18th paralleed the
Vesle from Mont N0tre Dame to a
point near Fismes. BY August
the division was in motion toward
it, the infantry travelling in ca
mions driven by the squealing little
Chinese, who considered that driv-
ing meant only to step on the ac-
celerator and trust to luck. If d
man were bumped off when a ca
mion hit a shell hole he caught the
next one speeding by, or walked the

with headquarters at Chateau de
Fere. General Mangin was deliy-
ering his terrific smash at the Ger
mans, and the roar and. drumming
of the guns of all calibres were
in the ears of the newly ar
rived troops night and day. All
the regiments were under fire, and
on the first night, when the first re-
lief of the 153d Brigade tried to get
through the woods north of Cherry
Chartreuve, it encountered so great
a storm of shells and machine gun
bullets that it was forced, for the
first time, to dig in.

support for the British. At Doul-
lens, in the garden of which the
French and British met to finally
arrange for the unity of command
which made Foch marshal of all the
Allied forces, the brigade, still in it's
trains, was bombed by a German
flying circus. The train crew aban-
doned their posts, leaving the SOL
dlers to weather the storm, which
lasted an hour and did no material
damage.
