The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-05

Bill Higgins, member of the i'm. mortal I'D, former Waterburian and now on the staff of the New Haven Times, wrote the following story, which appeared yesterday in the Times:
 Fourteen years ago today the officers and men of the 102nd In- fantry after being in France six months without even hearing q shell burst let alone seeing the front line, awoke from their sleep ir cold billets with despair in their hearts. The main cause of the dissatisfaction was no doubt tn. fact that all were anxious to reach the front line rather than die from pneumonia.
 On that day the redeeming angel of the regiment arrived. Only in- stead of wings he had a pair of great. black, bushy mustachios huge, curved black briar pipe and instead of singing psalms and hymns, there emanated through his lips long. good natured army oaths. This huge. good looking giant was none other than Colonel John H. Machine Gun" Parker, man whose name was a proverb throughout the army in the old days before the war. Riding up 10 regimental headquarters astride his black charger. he an- nounced that he had come to re- lieve Colonel Ernest l.. Isbell and that he was the new commander of the 102nd Infantry.
 His first order was to the effect that every outfit in the regiment was to be assembled and assembled at once. One battalion after an- other was assembled on the hill- sides, where astride his great black horse, with pipe in hand he harangued the men of the 102nd in this fashion:
 "Men of Connecticut: You blue- bellied. shad eating, Nutmeg Tanks damn your Yankee hides to hell! Heads up! Stick out your chests! You're from the best fighting stock in the world. Do you know 1t? That's 1t. Grin Hold it.
 "Men of Connecticut! know you. You can't fool me. You came from that state where they made wooden nutmegs and then sold 'em to the people out west.
 "Now I want just one thing - Spirit! Pm the old man the boss see? But I'm going to give you all the grub and shoes and clothes I can beg, buy, borrow or steal. and as long as I'm colonel of this regiment you're going to get everything that's coming to you and there's no damn staff officers

the War Department should contain
the record. Yet they contain only a
travel order directing Gen. Goethals,
on July 7, to proceed to New York
on official business and upon compile
ton thereof to return to Washington.
Is it possible that the nerve Of the
military czar failed at the last min
ute? Is it possible that after Gen.
Goethals had reached New York he
was recalled by the same authority that
had started him on his journey?
There is a queer feature about Secre-
tary Bakers letter to Gen. Pershing.
That letter was, as I said. written July
6. The Leviathan sailed the 9Th, reach
ing Brest July IA. Ordinarily the let
ter should have reached Gen. Pershing
not later than July Is. Yet it was
July 26 before the letter reached him.
Was that delay fortuitous, or by de-
sign?
Remember. Gen. Goethals started
from Washington with reservations on
the Leviathan. Suppose he had con-
tinued his journey. Suppose Secretary
Bakers letter had also gone over on
the Leviathan Gen Pershing neces-
sarily would have been puzzled to have
Goethals arrive on the same ship which
had brought Secretary Bakers letter
asking what he thought of the plan.

Good morning" she forced herself
to say.

She did not answer. Again jerks

He bustled away. Almost, Day went
after him. But rot quite. He grlnned
instead and moved closer to Judy.
TOO bad he said.
What's too bad?'
TOO bad he had to notice about
Dick Mason"
Why"
Because if he'd missed it for couple
of days he'd have forgotten there was
any difference. Then we'd have been
all right
"We?'
Yes. Judy. We Because Dick is
through. and We both know it, And
that's all there is to it.
We don't both know it, and Dick

Maybe not. But they'll never let
him work here again. Nc matter what
jerks says about it
You mean they'll never put him

"Of course not"
But suppose" Just in time she
caught herself.
What was 1t the man F1avin, the

and he wouldn't be responsible to the

was it. Then if jerks wanted Dick

That was too much
Yes" she said hes gone And
you're the one who sent him away"
