OUR BOYS IN FRANCE

From Gen. Pershing’s recent official report to the Secretary of War we learn at last just which divisions of our army had the chance to distinguish themselves on the battlefields of France and just what names those divisions are entitled to inscribe uppn their glorious battle flags. The first action in which our men. were engaged in force took place on April 20 at Seicheprey, not far from Toni. There the 26th Division —a National Guard division from New England—met and repulsed a strong German , attack. The steadiness that our troops ehowed in that defense was a reassuring omen; still more cheering was the gallantry and dash that they showed in their first offensive —-the capture on May 28 of Cantigny on the Pipardy front, by the Ist regular division. Then came the great AisneMarne offensive of the Germans, when the enemy all but brake through on the road to Paris. Two other divisions of the regular army* the 2d and 3d —the 2d containing two regiments of marines, —were thrown into the threatened line at Chateau-Thierry and near there. The 2d Division bore the brunt of the fighting; it not only held the Germans but drove them tfeck. Bouresches, Belleau Wood-r-renam-e«k by the French the Bois des Marines —and Vaux are the names that will be forever associated with those critical days when the fate of the world hung in the balance. At the second battle of the Marne we were gallantly represented. It was the turn of the 3d Division to sustain the German attack in force. It kept the enemy from crossing the Marne at most points along Its’ front, arid when two divisions had forced a crossiing a single regiment of the 3d Division engaged them and, although almost surrounded at one time, fougbt on

until it actually drove the Germans back across the river. Elements of the 42d, or “Rainbow,’’ Division and the 28th, a National Guard division from Pennsylvania, won honorable distinction in Gen. Gouratid’s army, which held the line east of Reims against every German attack. • .

When Foch began his counteroffensive on July 18 the Ist and 2d Divisions were given the post of (honor and quickly vindicated their right to it. Berzy-le-Sec and Soissons are names that the Ist Division will never forget. Beaurepaire Farm and Vierzy mean quite as much to the 2d Division. The 26th was also engaged in that historic advance and took the of Torcy. It was then relieved by the 4 2d, which fought its way through the Foret de Fere to the banks of the Ourcq. Meanwhile the 3d Diivision 'had chased the enemy back across the Marne and won the possitions of Mont St. Per e, ♦" Char teves and Jaulgonne. “ Then it advanced jvell into Roncheres Wood, where' it was relieved by the 32d, from Michigan and Wisconsin. The 4£d at Sergy and the 32d at Hill 230 did their share in driving the Gormans back to the Vesle, where they were relieved by the 4th, a division of the regular army, the 28th and the 77th, a drafted division from New York City.

At St. Mihiel an army • for t)he first time fought independently—with some support from two French corps. The Ist, 2d, 26th and 42d Divisions were all in that battle, too; and so were the sth, a division the regular army, the 8 2d, from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, the 89th, from Kansas, Missouri, Colorado; Nebraska, South Dakota, New Mexico and Arizona, and the 90th, from Texas and Oklahoma. Des Eparges, Combres, Thiaucourt and Vigneulles are names that recall the victories in that fight. Our greatest battle of all was that of the Meuse-Argonne, which began on September 2 6 and closed only when Sedan was taken and the armistice declared. It was desperate, bloody fighting, but n 4 an "American regiment engaged did less than magnificently. Our army took 26,000, prisoners and 468 guns, and its 21 divisions defeated and cut to pieces no less than 40 German divisions. During the six weeks of fighting, the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th sth, 26th, 28tlh, 29th, 32d, 33d, 35th, - 37th, 42d, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 82d, 89th, 90th and 91st were engaged. The 29th comes from Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey; the 33d from Illinois, the 35th from Kansas and Missouri, the 37 th from Ohio, the 78th 79th and 80th from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, -Delaware and the District of Columbia, and the 91st from the Pacific Coast States. The Ist, sth, 26th, 42d, 77th, 80 th, 89th and 90th went into the battle line twice.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

AnCreville, Landree St. Georges, Borzancy, Stenay, Fosse, Nouart, Halles and Sedan—those are names that the regimental standards may bear In letters of living gold. In the great battle that broke the Hindenburg line between Cambra! and St. Quentin we also shared. In company with the Australians, the 27th Division, from New York, and the 30th, from Tennessee, the Carolinas and the District of Colbubia, smashed the German line along the St. Quentin Canal and took over 6,000 prisoners. The 2d Division was engaged In front of Reims In. the early days of October, supporting the French. It stormed Blanc Mont and took St. Etienne, when it was relieved by the 36 th, from Texas and Oklahoma. Toward the end of the campaign the 37th and 91st Divisions were withdrawn from tha Argonne front and sent up to Belgium to help the French. The 37th drove the enemy across the Scheldt River and the 91st took the town of Audenarde. This is a brief and cold summary of deeds as gallant ap any that American soldiers have ever achieved. It can only hint at the courage, the dash, the dogged determination, the splendid discipline and organization, that "caused this army made up largely of -untried soldiers to be more than a match for the best veterans that Germany could throw against it. Every part of the United States has had its representatives In the battle line; the nation take® legitimate pride in Its soldiers—whether regular, militia or conscript, whether from the North, the South, the East or the West. It salutes Gen. Pershing and the splendid military organization he built up. Not the least glorious page® of our history have been written in- blood and fire on the fields of France.

CLEANED from the EXCHANGES

Count George F. Von Bertling, former imperial German Chancellor, died Saturday night at Ruhpolding, Bavaria, after a six days illness. Dr. Henry W. Tanner, the man who astonished the world some 35 or 40 years ago by fasting for 40 days, died last week in San Diego, California, as£ed 91 years. He resided at one time in Indiana, at Danville, in 1900 and 1901, where he managed a steam laundry.

Mugavan *& Bowers, owners of the John Robinson shows, the head- > of which are in Peru, have I bought the • Hagenbeck-Wallace shows, whidh are in winter quarters at West Baden. It is understood that Edward Ballard, former owner of the Hagenbeck-Wallace shows, will retire from the circus business and devote his time to hotel interests. The future of the Hagenbeck-Wallace property has Inot yet been fully determined. No announcement has been made of the price paid for, it. Special Judge Wason/of Delphi, was here last Friday and entered the final order in the Singleton ditch matter, which has been pending in the circuit court for the past three years. He ordered the ditch constructed and denied all motions of the remonstrators. Attorney George Hershman, who was one of the representing the petitioners in that case and who is also acting .in the same capacity in the Beaver Dam and "Bezor” drainage matters, reports that the latter action will come up for hearing between now’ and March 1. This also promises to be a long drawn out "scrap” before it ends. It has been resting peacefully on the court calendar for the past year on account of the war.—Dake County Stdr.

During the last 20 days of 1917 the automobile license department of the Secretary «of State’s office put outg 15,411 sets of licenses, while ln*the last 13 days of 1918, 17,990 sets were put out.

The dealers’ licenses last year numl- - 990; motorcycles, 9,111; chauffeurs, 14,641. The increase in automobile licenses issued each year over the previous year is 34,965 more in 1918 than in 1917; 25,030 more in J 917 than in 1916, and 30,165 more in 1916 than in 19-15. With the sfate’s population estimated at 3;000,000, it is estimated that there is one automobile to every thirteen persone in Indiana.

< ROOSEVELT DIES WHIIxE ASLEEP IN OYSTER BAY BOMB

(Continued from pace one)

president of Jne United States, was the most spectacular and picturesque figure that ever appeared upon the stage of American public life. For upward of thirty years Colonel Roosevelt was In the public eye in one role or another and he was perhaps the best known man of his day. A man of tremendous personality, his magnetism won him a host of followers who stuck by him through the ups and of his long and historic political career. Colonel Roosevelt was born in New dry on October 27, 1856, being the second son of Theodore Roosevelt, a merchant and philanthropist. The colonel could trace his American ancestry back to 1644, when the first of the Roosevelt family came to this country from Holland Succeeded McKinley. Colonel Roosevelt turned to politics ns soon as he had been graduated from Harvard in 1880 and his aptitude for public life made Itself apparent at once. He worked his way through the New York state assembly nnd the governorship to the vice presidency of the United States and finally became the twenty-sixty president In 1901. The colonel was not elected to his first tenure of the presidency, having succeeded President McKinley when the latter was assassinated by an anarchist in Buffalo, N. Y. But In 1904 he was elected president us the popular choice of the people. . z Colonel Roosevelt was married twice. His first wife was Alice Hathaway Lee, to whom he was united on October 27, 1880. She-died four years later. When President McKinley was elected he appointed Roosevelt assistant secretary of the navy. Roosevelt believed that conditions in Cuba .would sooner or later lead to war with Spain. He was ever pleading for more men nnd ships. He fitted out the squadron which carried Admiral Dewey to glory at Manila. ’ Organizes “Rough Riders.” When the blowing up of the battleship Maine in Havajtyi harbor set the nation aflame Roosevelt resigned from the navy .department. With Dr. Leonard Wood, an army surgeon, he went west and organized the “Rough Riders.’’ The official title was “First regiment, United States Volunteer cavalry." The men were mostly cowboys and ranchmen, with a sprinkling of adventurous eastern college graduates. They needed no great amount of drill. Every man already knew how to shoot straight and to ride anything that had four legs. The Rough Riders made history. They were In the first skirmish in Cuba at Las Guasimas, and did their full share of the work at San Juan hill. Roosevelt was promoted to the colonelcy for distinguished bravery.

Wins the Nobel Peace Prize. During his first administration the Russo-Japanese war broke out. When the Japanese had driven the Russians nearly up to the Amoor river, taken Port Arthur and destroyed the Russian fleet, which attempted its relief, President Roosevelt offered mediation. His offer was accepted and the treaty of peace was signed by the representatives of the warring nations at Portsmouth, N. H. For his services in thus bringing about a termination of the war, Theodore Roosevelt was in 1906 awarded the Nobel peace prize of 000. v Starts the Panama Canal. During his administration also occurred the failure of the negotiations with Colombia for tffe right of- succession by the United States to the rights of the French Panama canal company, with the ensuing insurrection of the Panamanians, he intervention of the United States In a manner that effectively prevented the • Bogota govern-* ment from putting down the revolt, the recognition of the independence of Panama, and the making of agreements with the new republic under which the work of building the Panama Canal was undertaken by the United States and carried to a successful conclusion.

After Mr. Taft’s inauguration Mr. Roosevelt left the country on a tour which included visits to the capitals of western Europe and a long hunting trip in Africa, whose adventures are recorded in two volumes. Meanwhile he did not lose touch with American politics, in which he was soon .destined to play a part as disruptive of the Republican party as his earlier efforts were promotlve of its success. Birth of Progressive Party. At the Republican convention in Chicago, beginning June 18, 1912, Taft was nominated by 21 votes over a majority, but a few hours before the nomination Roosevelt had withdrawn his name as a candidate, and that night at a meeting In Orchestra hall, Chicago, the Progressive party was given its first real Impetus In a demonstration for Roosevelt and at which he was named for president by the new party. A formal convention was , held later and he ran as the regular candidate of the third party, drawing support from Republicans and Democrats alike. Roosevelt denounced the nomination by the Republicans as a “naked theft,” declaring that illegal delegates In sufficient numbers to nominate Taft had been seated. Shot and Wounded by Crank. Colonel Roosevelt campaigned over the entire country, invading the “solid south” and reiterating his slogan of “Let the people rule I” He had covered the greater part of the nation when he was shot at Milwaukee October 14

by a man giving tne name qf John Schrank of New York, who said he had been told by the spirit of McKinley* to kill Roosevelt. The wound was found to be not sellout, but retarded the candidate’s campaign for some time. The assassin was declared to be demented. The early months pf 1914 found the energetic colonel in South America with a party, including his son, Kermit Taken 111 With FeVer. At one time during his South American journeying he was taken ill with a fever and was some time in a bad way. He returned to* America, however, in the latter part of May with his health restored and again plunged into politics, picking up the threads where he had dropped them seven months before.
