CHATTER General gouraud has made It known that on his return to France be will recommend that the Rainbow Division be decorated with, the Fourragere, an honor which but few organizations have, won and a much-coveted glory. Each, soldier is entitled to wear a green and white cord placed aout the shoulder. It has come down from the ancients as a signal for bravery and chivalry. Little Micky Shea, one time “top kick’’ of the 169th regiment from " New York, was everything from spellbinder to prima donna ut the Washington 'Park bouts Friday night. Whatever Shea may be doing. he ought to be cashing in on 4 his comedy. As the fellows say, he is “all the way there and half way back” when it comes to wit and wisdom. Shea, between rounds, did everything from shadow boxing to thanking the multitudes for having elected him President of the .United States. .“Indianapolis is a great town. Not too big, not too little," say the visitors. “We have hai the best time ever and want to come back sometime.” they declare. Although the little home town has som* of the characteristics of a big city, the boys like the prevailing congeniality and the fact that it is possible to meet someone you know once in a. while. Thomas Alexander, one of the 150th boys, went tbrough the. war without a scratch or a bruise. Discharged, he went back to Michigan to marry. Old Man Fate counted, him out when Alexander touched a live wire and was burned to death. When one of the visiting buddies said, “Where’s Tom Alexander?” he heard the foregoing story.

TWO units of the Rainbow Division which fought side by side during world war, had been pitted against each other more than fifty years before in the Civil War. The 165th New York mAde a fine record In the Union Army, while the Virginia contingent folloowed Lee beneath the stars nad bars of the confederacy. • ♦ They’ve been talk&ig about how widely distributed are the members of the old Rainbow bunch. We'll say they're widely uted. They're cosmopolitan. Just look at that Hibernian beak from the old 165th. Here comes a Semitic proboscis from tpe same old outfit. 4 Used to call them the ‘Fighting Irish.” Now and then you see a Bacchanalian tint to the best of them. A pair of Scandinavian mud hOoks come slapping down the floor. They are from Minnesota. Thera- are the Alabamans, who fall so true to Darwin’3 variation theory that no two are ever alike. Oh, but we're cosmopolitan, we Irish is. Major General Robert H. Tyndall, Indiana's own, drew a tremendous ovation when he made a short talk before the convention Friday afternoon. It was evident that Bob made himself known throughout'The division when scrapping was the vogue. “Doggone, but I’m glad,” said Paul Rhoadarmer, now in the law offices of Mote a id Goodrich, but five years ago a common redneck In the 150th. Rhoadarmer's joy came from just havlng met Arthur Ellis of New England, his lieutenant during the war. “The last time I saw him was just a minnte before a shell fragment scalped me.” Rhoadarmer said. “And that fellow,” he Said, pointing to a conspicuously tall chap, "was my corporal, the bird that dragged me to a shell hole.” It's no wonder the boys are glad to get back. Everybody thinks Lew Shank ought to have been a colonel. “Why that auctioneer guy Is the funniest thing I ever heard,” one fellow remarked. There's no question about it, Lew went over and went over big in his talk to the gang. Lew got a tremendous kick out of the fellows, too, because afterward he said, "Consarn the luck, them boys is great chaps. If it hadn’t been for Sarah and me bein’ how as I was so old, I'd give a cookie to have baen with them boys.” “We are changing Gouraud’s itinerary to include a trip to the Yellowstone Park,” Colonel Donovan said today.
