Goat ofArn7s of the Ninth Infantry

of the most costly battles of the en-
tire war.
In the Boxer Rebellion the Ninth
was again conspicuous. Landing at
Tongku in 1000, with other Ameri-
can, English, Russian, French, Ger
man and japanese troops, participated
in the general advance against the
Chinese. Colonel Emerson II. Lis
cum commanded the regiment at this
time, and was killed during the first
engagement. His last words, Men.
keep up the fire" are now emblazoned
on the regimental crest.
From China, the Ninth was kept in
active service in the Philippines. At
Balangiga, where Company e was
stationed. occurred probably the most
tragic event in all the history of the
Ninth Infantry. While eating break
fast, a force of 400 natives rushed
the company, getting between the mess
hall and the barracks where the rifles
and ammunition were kept. Fighting
with clubs, stools and butcher knives,
the men fought their way through to
their barracks and then to the river
where they took off in boats. Only
fourteen enlisted men survived the
massacre, eleven of whom were
wounded.
Third Time at Sam Houston.
The Ninth Infantry came TO Fort
Sam Houston for its first time in
1907. 1t remained here for three
years and was again sent to the
Philippines. In 1914 it was sent TO
Laredo for patrol duty, returning in
1917 to San Antonio and stationed
at Camp Travis. II remained at that
camp only a short time, however.

on the frontier subduing the aborig-
ines and clearing the way for the
white man. 1t served through all
the Philippine instruction, and in
1904 was used to quell internal
troubles in Chicago during the big
railroad strike at that time. Adding
to its field experience. the Ninth
Infantry served on patrol duty on
the Mexican border in 1914.
Originally Maryland Regiment.
The Ninth first came into being in
1899 under the command of Col J.
Z. Hall. 1t, was recruited entirely
from the state of Maryland. and dur
ing the time the United States was
threatened by war with France. The
CLASH was averted. however. and the
regiment was diSbanded in 1900 not
10 be reorganized until 1872 for
participation in the second war with
England. This time the regiment
was recruited from the state of Massa-
chusetts, Col. Simon Learned, COM
handing.
The regiment took an active part
in the War of 1912. Its first engage
ment was while attached to the
American army of the north, cross
ing the Niagara River aud capturing
Fort George and other smaller forts
from the British along the Canadian
frontier. The regiment participated
in the attack and capture of Sackett
Harbor, and again, under the COM
mand of Gen. Winfield Scott. crossed
the Niagara River and participated in
the CAPTURE of Fort Eric. This was
in 1914 and after the regiment had
been in the field for two years.
Following the close Of the war with
the Ninth Infantry was

fought under General Scott. this time
against Mexico. Their first engage
ment was at Contreras. where they
drove back q force of Mexicans five
times larger than their own. The
regiment was then in every battle
fought by General Scott, and fur
nished the first troops to scale the
walls of Chapultcpec and plant the
Stars and Stripes on the national
palace in the City of Mexico.
Reorganized Again In 1855.
Being mustered out again follow
ing the close of the war, the regi-
ment was not recognized until 1880,
and has remained organized since
that date. The regiment went to
Panama. then to Oregon where 1t
fought against the Columbia River In
dams. 1t then went to fighting the
Neg Perces, Yakimas, Klikatats and
other smaller tribes, being ordered
finally to operate against the Sioux
in the Black Hills. Following this
expedition came a campaign against

Colonel Van Horn, the present com

reach this position it was necessary
to push through the enemy's front

regiment in column, marched it acCoss

Bochc line and marched his troops
through it. The SURPRISED Germans,
finding the Americans pushing on in
their rear, heastily abandoned the
Ninth's flanks and reformed in its
front. The following night. using the

The most brilliant fighting, ever
done By men of the Ninth Infantry
at any time during its long history,
was no doubt done on the western
front during the war with Germany.
The regiment first felt German fire
in April, 1918, and until the end OF
the war it was constantly on or near
the front lines. For its repulse OF
the Germans at Haute Marine the
regiment received special commcnda-
ton from General Pershing, and the
capture Of Vaux was made with such
scientific precision that the operation
has been held by officers of the high
command as a model engagement.
During the last days of the war
the Ninth performed a feet which
was unparalleled during the war.

ONE LIMIT OF CAR BUYING

There is one limit to car buying,
which has already grown very serious
in large cities and which is becoming
very serious in some of the smaller
cities, and that is the garage space
which is required for their storage.
There are many parts of Hudson
county where this Is already serious
matter. Hoboken sees the time when
there can be practically no more cars
sold in that city unless there is a solu-
ton, which is not yet in sight. The
built up sections of Jersey City are
hard up for garage space. The situa-
ton in North Hudson is not so bad as
il is in Jersey City and Hoboken, but
1t is tightening up very much here
The situation is particularly serious
in the matter of the cheap cars. The
storage of cheap cars is all out OF pro-
portion to the storage of high priced
cars owing to the fact that cheap
car occupies almost as much space as
a high priced car. In New York, for
instance the storage of Fords runs
anywhere from $25 to $40 a month,
rance for a person who has so com
paratively little invested in a car.
Automobile manufacturers realize
that high maintenance costs are a
black eye to selling. When higher
license fees were under consideration
~, No 10 nhiln a
facturers and dealers fought the mat
ter to the bitter end in the Legislature
because of the effect of higher costs
upon the sales of cars.
Every effort of dealers and manu-
facturers has been to bring about the
most moderate possible upkeep of au-
tomobiles in order that they may con
tnue manufacturing and selling.
The time may not be so far distant
when the manufacturers and dealers
may have to look after their own best
interests by providing reasonable
priced garage storage for owners rath-
er than have this as an Independent
business.
1t may mean that the garage bust
ness will have to be carried on in a
very big way rather than in the COM
paratively small way that it is being
done now. 1t may mean that sky
scrapers, with fast elevators to carry
even the little Fords to lofty peaks
above the city, may have to be put up
and maintained in the cities If the
selling of cars to the masses is to CON
t.nue.-Hudson Dispatch.

POLITICS..

There are many technical meanings
to the word politics, In the die
tionary it may mean the study and
practice of civic government. 1t may
mean in the same book "a branch OF
ethics or a special application of the
principles of morality or religion.
Again we find this: THE conduct OF
POLITICAL matters so as to carry elec-
tions and secure public Offices; party
intrigues; political wire pulling; trick
cry
The whole world is filled with poll
tics. 1t prevails alike in church and
state. We find it in Sunday school
and in the village church. So it is

THE JAPAN HORROR

Words are inadequate to convey to
the human mind the enormity of the
catastrophe that has befallen Japan!
Almost in the twinkling of an eye,
when thousands were at their daily
toll; when the population centers
were filled with shoppers and the
fields with workers; when trolley cars
and automobiles were moving along
in their routine way, suddenly comes
a rumbling noise as of distant thun-
der-then the earth shook, buildings
trembled and fell crashing to the
ground amid clouds of dust and piles
of debris, while the shrieks and means
of the wounded and dying, numbering
hundreds of thousands, rent the air in
bewildering, horrifying sounds that
froze the blood in the very veins OF
those left to tell of the terrible disas-
ter. At this distance we cannot do
more than wonder at this expression
of Natures power. Human imagina-
ton pals at the simple telling of the
story of how Yokohama and Toxic
were crumbled in moment, or else
swept by crushing tidal waves, or
burnt to cinders by madly leaping
flames from the piles of buildings.
Add to these bewildering scenes an
atmospheric temperature of 150 de-
grees, with torrential rains, as some
dispatches have 1.-THE streets and
streams choked with bodies of the
dead-and some faint idea may be
had of this appalling visitation.
We must all help Japan at this mo-
ment. Don't wait to be asked. Wher-
ever there is an agent ready to re-
ceive subscriptions send in your
money now God in His wisdom mas
sent this awful thing upon the earth,
and we can do no more than our part
in helping to heal the gaping wound.

ity and religion, but not in our day
and time as we see it practiced in our
municipal affairs it is always case
Of the "Ins Against the Outs" Ac-
cording to our party system of gov
ernment the party heads form plans
and attempt to prove that the other
party isn't fit to run things. This is
the A B C of politics as practiced.
Official patronage in politics is one of
our greatest crosses. We bear it be-
cause we can't help it, and we can't
help it because we do not organize to
fight it, and we do not organize be-
cause of lack of leadership.
If GOVERNMENT could be run as
a BUSINESS it would be far better
and politics would be eliminated
