VOICE OF THE LEGION

With the passing of Dan DAILY,
General Buffers "fightingest marine, ="
There naturally follows reflections
and memories of other fighting men,
who perhaps not SO colorful, or with
such long service behind them, at
tanned the recognition of the brave
Naturally among our group, we
first think of Johnson and Roberts
of the old 18th New York, whose
decoration made excellent propagan-
da for the Liberty Bond statesmen
among Negroes. 1t is fact that
the number of Negroes decorated in
any of the regiments that made up
the 93rd division, ran we'll over the
hundreds.
The 92nd came in for her share,
but we have forgotten the exact
number:
In oit' own outfit the number ran
about III. There may have been
more had not a little personal diff
ference entered into the matter of
being decorated.
The then Lieut.. Mcclure, now of
st. Paul, had a difficulty with fell
low officer who happened to be as
, signed to duty as adjutant just at
the time that Jess came in for his
laurels. According to the tale, about
so recommendations were made. l
only heard actually one other name
In the 80, aside from McGuire's, and
l am not at liberty to disclose 1t. But
pA with the story;
"Highpockets," as ne was loving
ly known by every man under him,
had earned his decoration many times
(this from personal. knowledge.
Propaganda in some form or ether
had always crept in to block him.
At Tancell farm, Hill 129, Mont Des
Singes, and on the Ailette river.
At last, during the pursuit of the
enemy in the big retreat which III
our sector lasted for several days,
Jess could not be denied, so the rec
concentration was made:
After the colonel had given the
adjutant this list and forgotten it in
the press Of his. duties, the adjitant
showed the whole thing in the fire,
and who could deny the losing or
misplacing of a thing like that, in a
time like this Who even would re-
member it, marching 20 miles a day
on bread and coffee of doubtful con-
sistency, fighting all night and press
ing on again next day. Things like
paper work are not thought of much,
when you are leaving three men in
10 to die beside the road from flu,
and the killed-in-action are left in
the dark to be buried by some one
who might come along behind in
day light.
So Jess and the other SO missed
out. But he has one, or should / say
three decorations, that are ever evil
dent to him-three machine gun bull
lets in his leg.

of money shortage had been there.
Once she had been "selling darling
Sibyl Hudderstone's divine things
giving them away, rather!"-and
once she apparently had had some
sort of agency for powders and per-
fumes; because one must make
ones poor little 40 per cent if one
can," she had explained.
The last letters had quite frankly
asked for financial help; Vicky was
married now, and if she could help
her Mummy just little it would
be such a godsend. "For we don't
count money here as you do, dar-
ling" Magda had reminded her
daughter. "What you spend on those
frightful ice-cream sodas and on
movies would take care of a whole
family here"
In the morning, after she and
Quentin had shared their early
breakfast, and after the usual visit
to the kitchen and to the surging
and shouting nursery, Victoria

awake when her daughter came in.
''Oh, you darling child, with all
you have to do-and the newspaper,

on, beginning her breakfast, "and
think what smart child I have,
and what lovely home this is"
Quentin liked her; that was a
great help. Magda had still the Sc
cret of pleasing and interesting
men, whatever it was. Faded,
fussily dressed, affected and artifi-
cial, yet there was something real
and affectionate and clinging in her
nature that all males liked. About
a week after her return Quentin
electrified his wife by suggesting
that they make up party for the
first night of the opera. Stern had
sent him a box; Stern was on the
committee; it might be rather
fun" Quentin, who never wanted
to go anywherei
