To the Editor:
/ wish to take the liberty OF put
ting before the public fact OF two
about the regular soldier.
Too little has been said inl the
newspapers about the gratitude due
the regulars. Just because they are
Regulars" The people seem 70
think that well they're some sort
OF professional. automatic thing that
does their fighting for them and
there's no more said about 81. as n
they weren't true American boys that
went from their homes TO night for
democracy and their country as well
as any Of the national guardssnen or
the men who waited 10 be called in
TO fight.
All one hears about Is the fight
ing OF the "SSth." or the Rainbow
division or some other national army
or guard division. The boys who
we're most anxious 10 see real fight
ing and see 1t quick are the ones
who volunteered in the regulars and
those two fighting marine regiments.
they are still across the Rhine do-
ing their duty and not arriving home
with receptions. and the grand Wei
come Home" but are still on the Job
and will be for some time 20 come
but when they do come. what kind
OF welcome will they receive?
It is only natural that divisions Of
sectional origin should get great well
comes from the state from which
they came Somewhere and some
how a similar welcome should greet
the regulars. And that welcome
cannot be too great.
The regular regiments which went
overseas first now contain but very
few men who have long served their
country, whose greeting should be
all the more hearty for that. and the
men who volunteered at the out
break OF the war. which gives them
hold on the publlc's gratitude sec
ond TO none, and so the same feeling
should hold for the regular as well
as the drafted men who filled IN the
gaps in these divisions made by bat
tie,
Owing to the fact that the men OF
these organizations did not all come
from the same place is no reason
why they should be robbed OF the
proper expression OF the whole coun-
try's appreciation OF their services.
which are unsurpassed in the Amer
lean army
The First division was made 10 of
regular soldiers and was the firsl 10
reach France in the summer Of 1871
and along with several other regular
divisions and marine regiments, they
are the men who did the eFeater part
of Americas lighting in the great
n
est war ever known. and won the
victory over the Hun.
The First division was at Caniiny.
Soissons, st. Mihiel and twice IN the
Argonne-Meuse battle.
So when these regular divisions
come back among the last to reach
home as they were the first TO go
over and that many other divisions
have proceeded them and the vel
come of returning troops is no longer
novelty. the fact should mot allow
the public to fail in giving them the
credit. greeting and honor thar Is
their just due. s
