can Expedltionary Forces Will be IN
aucurated at the dinner to be given
by the local branch of the I'd Division
Association in honor of Col. Hanford
MacNider, Assistant Secretary or
War, at Washington Barracks, FEB
ruary 10. Acceptances already re-
ceived by Capt. Milton o. Boone at
Washington Barracks indicate an at
tendance at the dinner of several hun
dred war members Of the ID Division.
The committee in charge consists OF
Mai. Gen. John A. Lejeune, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps. and
Maj Gen. Hanson Ely, president of
the Army War College.
Commanded by Lejeune.
Gen. Lejeune succeeded Maj Gen.
J. G.. Harbord as commanding general
OF the I'd Division following the
Aisne- Marine offensive OF July, 1918,
and led the division in all its subse-
ouent campaigns until the end of the
World War. Gen. Ely commanded
the 81 Brigade of the ID Division,
comprising the 9th and 23d Infantry
Regiments, during the scissors Of
fenSiVe.
COL. MacNider. the national presi-
dent of the "a Division Association.
was assigned to the 9,h Infantry in
August. 1917. as a provisional second
lieutenant of the Regular Army. and

colonel prior to his resignation from
the Regular Army after the return OF
the division to the United states in
August, 1919.
Had Heavy Losses.
The I'd Division was unique among
the combat divisions of the American
Army in that ii was composed of
troops of the Regular Army and the
Marine Corps, and included some med
zeal personnel of the Navy. AS a Reg
ular Army division the Go 900 officers
and enlisted men who passed through
its units during the war came from
every section of the country. Due to
this fact the I'd Division Association
has concluded that Washington is the
most suitable city for the erection of
its war memorial. The division suf-
fered more than $4,000 casualties dur
ing its eight months in action at the
front. According to official War De
partment records. these were the
heaviest losses suffered by any com
bat division of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces.
Capt. {. o. Mattfeldt secretary of
the I'd Division Association. with Of
fees at the Army War College. states
that contributions averaging between
5000 and $500 are being received daily
toward the erection of the $500. 900
memorial. Leading architects through
out the country are preparing designs
for the memorial. which is planned to
be distinctive in that all components
of the Nations defense forces We're in
corporated in the organization of the
division

Cantonese Reds and Anti-Reds.

The Cantonese factions are neglected
in the calculations because they have
been viewed as holding each other in
deadlock, so far as participation in the
fighting in Central and North China
is concerned. Sun Vat Sens South
China government, at Canton, is now
completely under boshevik Russian
! control. but the white section of the
Cantonese is said to outnumber
| largely the red, though the latter
have the disciplined army and
control of the military resources. The
Reds are credited with an army of
| SIS 900 men. The Cantonese white Sec
ton is viewed as sympathetic to WI
Peifu.
In Hongkong, in October. there was
interesting gossip and swapping OF
predictions among Americans ana
Englishmen. driven out OF canton
and Kwangtung province by the
fighting there. 1t was predicted mat
within two years zen. Shahs ma
shin. the Chinese red, who IN CO.
operation with the Russian envoy and
generals controls Canton and its neigh
horhood. would be knocked out by the
anti-reds. 1t was thought that Gen.
Lang Chi-yao, a white Kuomingtang
adherent, and supporter OF WI Pei-fu'
who controls Yunnan and kwelchoW
provinces, would cooperate with Gen.
Chen CHUNG ming, then at SwatoW.
against the red forces at Canton. 1t
was predicted that If Gen. Chang kal-
shin ceased through death or other
cause. to head the red army the Rus
slams would be unable to control the
Chinese soldiers, now held to them
by Gen. Chang, and the downfall OF
the red regime in Canton, and with 1t
Russian control, would follow. Within
three or four years 1t was expected
that with the anti-reds in control at
Canton and the red Russians expelled
an alliance Of North and South China
might be effected.
Since October Gen. Chen CHUNG
ming at Swallow has been attacked by
the Cantonese red army and defeated.
Cen. Chang Kai-Shih has recently re-
signed and a successor has been ap-
nointed Borodin, Russian adviser to
the Cantonese government, temporar-
ily ousted through the opposition OF
the Whampaon cadets, Is back again In
office. The trend so far has not.
therefore, been in the direction OF full
fllIment Of these prophecies. The
Soviet control at Canton seems strong
er than ever. But by prudently
postponing the date of fulfillment for
two or. three years these prophets
have given WI Pei-fu a reasonable
time within which to consolidate con-
troll of Central and North China, and.
turning his attention to South China,
to make good their predictions.

Boys Goat Works
For a Living

Darlington, N. H, Dec. 3.-tP)-
Thirteen-year-o Woodrow Foss of
this town is determined that no one
shall get his goat. He means it liter
ally because if he should lose the
goat he would lose his chance at
coveted prize.
Woodrow is a member of the All
Club and has been studying forestry.
He started in this fall to help his
father clear out some grey birches
from woodlot of mixed pines and
hardwoods. A county club agent
encountered him one day as he was
swinging his axe, enthusiastic over
the discovery that by his work he
was releasing hundreds of suppressed
young pines. p
The agent told him of the county
forestry project for boys in which the
winner is to receive the county for
estry championship and a loving cup
donated by the Society for the Pro-
lection of New Hampshire Forests
woodrow at once determined to en-
ter the contest.
1t was then that he bethought him
self of his goat. He manufactured
a two-wheeled cart, hitched the goat
to 1t and drove him to the woodlot.
The goat is getting pretty well
broken in and already the boy has
cleared quarter of an acre and
made the goat haul cord of birch
wood away.
