and endorsement by Pres't Wilson, Gen. Pershing, Sec'y Haker and Sec'y Daniels, as well as by a host of other leaders in this and the allied countries, including the men served.

Says He Spent Worst 24 Hours of Life Going Over Top in Big Drive.
Another Soutli JJcnd soldier who has the distinction of being "among those present" during the memorable drive at Chateau Thierry and around St. Mihlel. is Pvt. Laroy
Hoover of th lMst engineers, who ; has written his parents, Mr. and j Mrs. G. F. Hoover, Pleasant J st.. a most interesting account of I his numerous and varied experiences ! as a member cf the famous regiment j which did its bit in the great allied ' offensive of the late sumnir and : fall. Under date of lec. Z he writes: "Ksnouveaux Haut-Marne. , Trance. 1 "My dear Mother:
glad to hear where I am and how I
arrived in ranee. As von know I rl
sailed out of New York, it was on the morning of the 12th of June, having- boarded the ship Megantic. a White Star liner, and one of a flot
of 1 1 ships, not including the convoy attached for our protection, the i day before. June 11. We landed in : Iivcrpool. Kngland. on the 24th of j June after zigzagging our way across j the Atlantic and through the Irish j sea. along the Irish coast, which we i could see very plainly. j "We spent a couple of (lavs in
Liverpool, then crossed Hngland to Southampton, where we also spent a couple of days: from there we boarded another transport and crossed the Rnglish channel to be Havre, France, about the 1st of July. A'f'.er another couple of days we entrained for a clas-uücation camp where we split up. and a few friends and myself being assigned to tho engineers, were then sent to the city of Angiers, and the 10th engineers, a replacement regiment. Spent a couple of weeks here at a school of automatic arms, and finally, on tho 2 7th of July. I was placed witli my present outfit, while they were at Chateau Thierry in the thick of things. This was shortly after they had stopped the big German drive. After about two eekn we were pulled out of the lines for a few weeks more of tiresome drill near Chattilon sur Sein.
"On Sept. 12 our division helped i
to start the offensive which reduced the St. Mihicl salient, and here it fell to my lot to do gas guard for about tliree weeks. It was at this place that I got my only chance to go over the top and say. I always wanted to go over but that was the worst 24 hours I evtr sjent. and I can not even hope to explain the sensations of that day on paper, and am not ashamed to say that T lost all ambitions of coins over again but I am glad that I got the experiences which were afforded. "After holding the lines here until the early part of October we were ordered out and marched straight to Verdun, where this division had some pretty d lio: scrapping but succeeded in making considerable headway, but it was very difficult, and we lost heavily, as we were directly on the hinge of the German retreat. We were here until the second day after the armistice was signed. " I'm in the 2f.th division, called the 'Ytmkee division, and it is a national guard unit from the New Knghinci states, although it now has men from nearly every state in the Union my regiment is the 101st engineers, formerly the 1st corps from Boston. Mass., and was organized about the time of the Revolution, and filled" uj) to war strength from the coast artillery by volunteers. We were the first national guard division to land over here, and the first ccnplete division to land in France."
