prepared for it's day of induction into active Federal Service.
 On December B, 1940, the Regiment was inducted into Fed eral Service at is armory in St. Louis. It completed necessary administrative duties and then departed for Camp Joseph T. Robinson, near Little Rock, Ark ansas, where il joined it's parent organization, the 35th Division. | Soon after arrival at Camp Robinson, war strength was au- thorized for the Regiment Per sonnel necessary 10 build to that strength were furnished the regi- ment by the Selective Service Administration during February, 1941, when hundreds of men be- came members of the 138th h. fan'ry.
 The Regiment participated in all of the 1941 Arkansas-Louisi- ana maneuvers with the Second Army. It travelled by various means over large areas of both states. After two months of those maneuvers it returned to Camp Robinson, where,- after fur tough period, it resumed its training.
 Shortly after December 7th. 194l, the Regiment moved with the Division to Ft. Ord, Califor nia. While stationed there it was relieved from the 35th Division and assigned to an overseas mis- sion.
 The Regiments new mission proved to be service with the Alaska Defense Command. 1t moved to Ft. Lewis, Washington, where it was equipped and pre- pared for Alaskan service while awaiting transportation to the North In addition to preparation for shipment, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions performed guard and anti-sabotage duties at Belling- ham. BremertoL. Olympia and McChord Field, Washington.
 First 10 depart for Alaska were elements of the 1st Battalion, un- der command of It. Col James M. Moore. These units. Company C, reinforced by detachment from Company D, left Ft. Lewis la.e in January, l942, for Cold Bay, Alaska. In April they were

joined by Company A, with Com panies B and D following late in May.
 The 2nd Battalion, commanded by It. Col. Roy W. Riegle, began it's movements to Alaska on March 23, 1922, with the departure of Company F, bound for a station in Southeastern Alaska Battalion troops at this station were aug mented by a detachment of Com pany H, he Battalion Headouar- ters and it's detachment, and de- tachment from the Battalion Medical Section, all of whom left Seattle on May Is, 1942. Al the same time, Companies G and II proceeded to points on the main land coast. while detachments of Company E were dispersed to points farther in the Interior.
 The 3rd Battalion arrived at an Aleutian Base, Major Corrill, commanding, in June, .1S42. Sew eral months later Company l was detached from it and stationed farther west.
 All units of the Regiment, at their various stations, then per formed the duties and underwent the hardships peculiar to Alaskan service at that time. AS at all other statiorss in Alaska, prin- cipal duties were the construction of camps and air bases, in addi- ton to being on the alert for de fense against attack.
 During the Regiments Alaskan service. many new members have been assigned to it to replace those transferred because Of ser vice exiaencies. Those units of the End Battalion. while stationed in Southeastern Alaska, received many citizens of Alaska, after their induction into the service.
 In May, 1943, the 1st Battalion moved from Cold Bay to an Aleu- tian Base. While there it fur nished a detachment which took part in the first landing on Kis- ka Island on August IS, 1oA3, Tn February, 1944, the lst Battalion reioined its Regiment, less the 2nd Battalion, at another Aleu- tian Base. On May l3, 1944, Inc 1st Battalion sailed for the Unit ed States, arriving at Ft. Lawton, Washington on May 22. Alter a

During the advance on Charpentry, the l40th moved slowly through deV- astating fire, supported by the 139fh's End Battalion. command ed by Lieutenant I.eahy Both organizations advanced through deadly artillery and machine gun fire.
 The 10th led the advance on the next day, because of failure of the 138th 10 receive orders from higher headquarters. It's advance was slowed by extremely heavy artillery and machine gun fire. Orders finally were receiV- ed by the 133th and two battal- .ons of it immediately moved up with the 10th. The End Battal- ion, still lead by Lieutenant leahy, were diverted from the at ack by it's regimental commander y order of the commanding of icer of the other Brigade in the Division. The End Battalion 1ressed forward on it's new mis- ion until about noon, driving the nenay ebfore it or destroying hem, suffering at the same time xternely heavy losses, includ- ng the Battalion Commander, nd later his successor. Other dement's of the Regiment con- inued their advances until aft rnoon, suffering many casualties they moved forward.
 During the afternoon the Dfvi- |

sion was ordered to retire to a line manned by the 10th Engi- neer Regiment. Assisted by the remnant of the 3rd Battalion of the 138th, and two machine gun companies, this Engineer Regi- ment repulsed an enemy counter attack and held there until re- heved by fresh troops of the Frs Division.
 After three days Of battle against elements of six German Divisions, members of this Regi- ment had advanced 1912 kilo- meters through enemy territory, and had broken through the al most impregnable Eindenburg Line. They captured many pris- oners and mass of material, but the cost was high. Total battle casualties of the Regiment dur ing the war were: 313 killed, and 1222 wounded. The Argonne Offensive was the bitterest fought of any in which America partici- pated dur ;ng the war. No Amer ican troops had harder fighting, nor greater hardships in this war than the 138th Infantry and the 35th Division.
 After relief from the Argonne Drive, the Division entered a sup posedly quiet sector, southeast of Verdun, called the Sommedieue Sector. Here it was readied for another offensive. Into this quite sector the enemy fired 1000 gas shells one night. On November 9th and 7th, 1918, the Division moved from the quiet sector to- V" e'i NS (oAAbAClIy- C pun lGdSIIlllS that point it learned that the war had ended. The Division, and the Regiment, remained there un- til Spring, 1919. On April 13, 1913, il left St Naizaire for the United States. Its members were discharged at Fort Riley, Kan, on May T, 1919.
 Lack of appropriate legislation at the time resulted in the dis charge of the entire personnel of the Regiment at Ft. Riley. Rec ords are few and vague covering the remainder of that year. Dur ing that year, however, what is now designated as the 2nd Bat

 AT WAR WITH AXIS

MEXICO CITY --tAP)--De- spite the war, Mexico received imports last year from both Ja- pan and Germany-as result Of delays in International trade.
 Since Mexico has been at war with the Axis since June, 1922, reporters were intrigued when the government statistical bureau reported 1943 Japanese imports of 'wo tons of trinkets valued at $575,O00 and ton of German merchandise valued al $196,O00. But the bureau explained the eoods had been bought in peace time and were in transit before Mexico went 10 war.

talion, 138th Infantry, was organ ized at St. Louis and designated the First Infantry, Missouri Ma tional Guard. Company F was organized at that time and re- ceived Federal Recognition on April goth, 1920. In order that National Guard organizations might carry on and preserve their traditions from the World War, they were redesignated on Octo- Der 1, 1921. On that date the First Missouri again became the 133th Infan'ry.
 Routine Armory Drills, Federal Inspections and Summer Encamp- ments brought the Regiment to an efficient military force during the years that followed. One battal- ion, the 3rd, was stationed at towns outside St. Louis. Its Headquarters Company was at Chillicothe; Company I al Mar shall; Company K at Kirksville; Company L at Hannibal; and Company M at Fayette. Those units served efficiently and well in the communities al which they were stationed. .a .,
 In addition to its routine drill and encampments, the Regiment served the city and state at vari- ous times in many ways. Out standing service was probably that rendered immediately after the St. Louis tornado on Septem- Der 29th, 1927. Tn less than five hours more than 500 men had as- sembled at the armory and taken over many duties. This was ac- comp1ished despite the lack of telephone and transportation fac ilities. At a later date a pro- visional company was rushed to Jefferson City to aid in stopping a riot among convicts. In 1897 and in 1940, the Regiment par ticipated in the Fourth Army maneuvers at Ft. Riley, Kansas, and at Camp Ripley, Minnesota.
 During January, 1889, the Regi- ment moved from it's temporary" quarters, first occupied in 1908, to its new and commodious arm ory located on busy Market Street at Spring Avenue. Here, during the gathering war-clouds of World War IL, the Regiment
