MEN OF 18TH KEEN
FOR A PARADE HERE
Capt. Renshaw Says They
Wish to March as Unit.

Capt Alfred f. Rensnaw, formerly
Adjutant of the 302d Engineers, issued a
statement yesterday in the hope Of
removing any doubt that the men OF the
Seventy-seventh Division do not wish to
parade. He said!
"The men of the division have been
looking forward for a considerable time
to a parade in which the entire division
will take part. 1t is the tangible reward
for the years service they have had In
France and l think 1t would be most
short sighted and an injustice to the
men IL this opportunity to parade before
the city which they represented abroad
were not permitted. l also feel that
the families of these men will take II
most keenly II the division of which they
are also proud is demobilized without a
parade"
Regarding the employment bureau and
it's work Major S. Fullerton Weaver said
yesterday that Jobs are being held in
readiness for $500 of the divisions men
and that 200 men are to be taken care
of. As soon as the division Is sent to
Camp Upton the employment bureau will
establish a branch there. A card system
will be used to ascertain the capabilities
Of each man and he will be directed to
probable employers.
