COL. REED OF 18Th PIONEERS
WRITES INTERESTING NEWS

The following letter addressed to
Col. Theo. Townsend, at Milford. Del.
reached its destination last Monday
evening. It was written on January
%. 1919, and It gives information OF
the 59th Pioneer Regiment, of which
many Delaware soldiers are members,
and several officers which are from
Milford. The letter was a private
communication. but its information
will be of interest to the many rela-
tives of Kent and Sussex county boys
who are under the Coloners command
in France The letter in part follows:
BOncQ, France, Jan. %, 1919.
My dear Colonel:
Have intended to drop You a line
for a long time; but. as YOU know. it
is some job to look after regiment
in the field. and particularly when it
is scattered over about 100 miles OF
France.
We were all assembled by battalions
about the middle Of December, so that
my regiment was within a radius OF
about eight miles Of me; but in the
last few weeks they have scattered us
all over the map again.
-Ag AANe@AAAtAA NNA . anu 2ARkA1 I'm
pany and Headquarters Company are
now at Boneq. near Toul. The First
Battalion is scattered over about 50
miles with A and c companies at
Rehan, near Longguy. Company B at
Contains, Company d at Metz Bridge,
near -MossOn.
The Second Battalion is scattered
the same way from St. Mihiel to Pont-
a aMOssOn. The Third Battalion is
about 20 miles northeast of Verdun.
in the Danvilliers area.
So you can imagine some of my
troubles in keeping in touch with them.
1t means that l travel about 100 miles
daily.
Corporal Earl Atkins is my chauf-
feur. Major Lank is here at BOncq.
l had a letter from Major "Wid"
Marshall the other day. He is still in
a hospital but expects to return to
us any day now.
Everybody-is well and getting along
in good shape.
With kindest regards to all my Mil
ford friends, / am,

Very truly,
J. Warner Reed,

OF. 05Ln FlOneeTs, 4. u, +.
From the above letter it is almost a
certainty that the 59th Pioneers are
not booked for return to the United
States at any early date during this
present year. The men now in France
will have opportunity to see much of
that and other sections of the war
zones, as well as some of Germany,
before they return to the United States
Governor Townsend has received
from Col. Reed several souvenirs which
are Of especial interest. Samples of
used as substitutes for neces-
stiles during the war. as well as sew
eral war articles, make up the package
received by the Governor.

SUFFERED FOR THEIR FAITH
French Huguenots Driven Into Exile
by the Revocation Of the Edict
Of Nantes.

The Huguenots were the Puritans Of
France In the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries. The name was first
used about 1860; It's origin Is un-
known. The Huguenots suffered Sc
verely in the reigns Of Francis I and
his immediate successors. and after
1852 were frequently involved In war,
under the leadership Of such men as
Admiral Coligny and King Henry or
Navarro, afterwards Henry Nv OF
France. COligny and from 10000 to
10000 others fell In the massacre OF
st. Bartholomew, August "a. 1872. It
Is disputed I'm history whether this
was suddenly caused by the discov-
cry Of Huguenot plots or had been
premeditated. In spite Of all this.
they continued numerous and power
full and the edict Of Nantes. issued In
1898 by Henry Nv gave them full po-
litical and civil rights. Their power
was broken after the surrender OF
LaRochelle and the revocation OF the
edict Of Nantes by Louis XIV In 1888.
and hundreds Of thousands Of Hugue-
nots went into exile. going to Prus-
sia, Holland. Switzerland, England.
Scotland and America.

AMERICAN LEGION FORMING

Lieutenant D. M. Smith and Pri-
vate Jess LaDue are securing sigma
lures of soldiers and sailors of the
Great World War looking to the
formation of Post of the American
Legion in Clio. This will be the or
ganization that will be representa-
tive of the soldiers and sailors of the
the last war, as the G. A. r. was Of
the veterans of the Civil war, indeed,
as it is to-day. In the American
Legion, if we understand the matter,
there will be no distinctions of rank,
the private soldier standing on ex-
actly the same footing as the COM
manding general of the army, if the
latter becomes member. OF
course, the organization will be of
the greatest benefit to its member
ship and, as the years roll on, a
source of very great pleasure as well.
AS this is due to become one of the
greatest organizations in the country
we hope, and cannot doubt, that the
young men who have the matter in
charge will soon have a Post organ
lied in Clio. At the head of the
American Legion, at present, is Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, son of the late
president, and himself veteran Of
the battle fields of France. When
the Post is established here, the boys
hope to have a club room for social
purposes. Any soldier or sailor who
may be interested in this matter
should see either Mr.. Smith or Mr..
LaDue without delay.
