who fought un i who gained man's
estate and as I tell all the mothers,
you lads in I’rumn hn\o teen nearer
God titan ever before since you left

ed out that for tlie first time in his*
tory of tile country had established
a definite miiitarv policy, the future
army to be composed of the regular
army, the national guard4 and the
organized reserves. He teferred to
the cutting down of the regular ar
my to 150.01 M) men. a comparatively
small matter, and he stated that it
seemed that the backbone of the
country must test on the national
guard and the organized reserves.
He spoke of the neeessitj of recruit
ing for these two organizations and
asked the men to boost and get be
hind the national guard and push it
for ail it was worth.
Col. Towne also added a word re
garding tlie getting behind the na
tional guard, for he said that the
question had been decided that the
national guard is no longer tin sol
diery, but that it needs the co-opera
tion of men who know-. And we are
the men who know, he said. Col.
Towne then introduced the next
speaker. Governor Baxter, us a man
who dares.
Governor Baxter
Governor Baxter in opening his ad
dress said: “Mr. Toastmaster, Gen
eral Edwards and friends of the J03d
Infantry, it is a privilege to be here
and ! am glad of this occasion to wel
come General Edwards, the hero of
the Jtith Division. No man in the
United States has a warmer place in
the hearts of men than General Ed
wards. 1 know that in General Ed
wards there beats a warm heart to
ward the men whose duty it was to
carry out the orders he was forced
to give."
The governor paid a warm tribute to
the generai for the care that lie took
of the men while they were over there
in France. Reference was made to
that dav in June. 1916, when the boys
of the 2d Maine left on their memor
lb|f' Journey to the Mexican border.
“Men from Maine were placed in the
most difficult positions because they
are men who can be relied upon.” The
f'
MM
1 governor said that tioni .available
figures 1100 Maine men were killed
i in action ami that 1555 died of wound*
j or disease. This, lie said, fas a large
percentage compared with the casual
ty lists of other states,
t "Just three ears ago last Monday
'.witnessed the launching of th" great
German offensive which was stopped
and counter action began. You no n
will remember the scenes of those
days. 1 will always lemember the
day of the* great 36th Division parade
Jin Boston in 1319. There was not a
dry eye in that great grandstand
when the men from Maine passed by.
The people of New England will never
forget you men of the 103d Infantry.
More than 31.000 men from Maine
went into the' great war.”
I The governor at this point appealed
l'or support among the veterans for
j the upbuilding of the new National
buuvil units.
"The people of Maine." he said,
“will never forget you and the people
of Maine will never forget the se who
1 did not come hark." In closing. Gov
ernor Baxter proposed an informal re
ception following the speaking and
saving that he would consider it a
privilege to shake the hand of every
veteran present. Hearty cheers and
applause followed Governor Baxter's
address.
The toastmaster. Col. Towne. then
introduced as the last speaker of the
evening a man who is ltio per cent, a
soldier and 1(h) per cent, an American,
the grand old young man. General Kd
wards. The general was given a ris
ing ovation.
Genera! Edwards spoke of the pro
fession if tiio soldier as the noblest
in the world and he told of his teellng
of contempt for an officer who gets
into the army for the compensation
rather than for duty for duty s sake
And he referred to the stout-hearted
lads, the soldiers, as th.- ultimate
cause of tile success h** had had in the
last five > ears.
With intimate stories of the war.
General Edwards showed the vuluc of
preparedness. He cited the little
country of Switzerland, which in the
i great war the whole world did not
dare to cross. Why? Because it had
a lot of civilians prepared to keep
sacred that land.
The aims of the American Legion he
then pointed oul — lhat those lads who
have suffered get a square deal and
that the government do all in its pow
er to help them. The general told the
boys as citizens to see that the right
people are picked out for office and
that the right laws are made. "Wt
must take an interest In our wo rd and
city, said he. "I don't know of any
one who can detect h'al air and gas
better than you."
"Ninety-nine per cent, of the men
who went across and came back should
be eager that their brothers and the
future generations saould have the
same experience,” he said. I have
found that there is some contrary
feeling and I am afraid there is some
hostility against training." And the
general then told the boys^j.hat in the
matter of military training it was
their duty to help out.
General Edwards ai this point told
his hMirers of the present day con
ditions at Canip Devcns, of the offi
cers' training camp, of the men's re
serve training camps there and of the
j effort now being made to get hack
to the c onfidence of the public. "I’ve
been out there,” he said, "and in
spected the 101st and was surprised
to find the officers and the whole
band made up of veterans of the 26th
Divson. At Barnstable, I nspeeted
the 51st artllery and evert captain
and every colonel was a veteran and
10 per cent, of the men are old sol
diers. Ale for the veteran.
"My statement is just this The
26th division in France was no more
a national guard division than tile
1st Division was a regular army di
vision, all men together were the
Army of the I’nited States and each
is entitled to good leadership until
battle picks them out. I want a
sound body and a sound mind and I
will show you a happy man. Youth
is our problem, take tare of your
youths, and you solve the problem of
our country. AI.v definition of a man
is, the man who will go against a
; machine gun nest and die with a
smile on bis face for that flag.
"They talk about reserve divisions
According to present plans there
would probably be three divisions in
New England. How about a reserve
Y. D. division and let the Govern
ment pay for our 15 day annual re
union. A Yankee has a psychology a 1
his own. You can't put baby ribbons
on an American soldier If you sound
American phyehology you will find
that they must sense their leader
i ship. Irt the next war we will still
have the draft, but we will draft la
bor- and we will draft capital."
General Edwards told the story of
the little boy irt Holland, who, by
placing his arm in the dike kept the
angry waters from flooding that
country, and he stated that in the re
cent war that role was played by the
first four- divisions and the 15 de
stroyers who held strong until the
other comrades could cake anti make
it a sure victory. Anil none contri
buted more than the 103rd. "No men
on earth could follow a barrage clos
er- than you," he said.
In closing his address. General Ed
wards expressed the hope that all of
the men would join the Veterans'
Association of the Y. D.
is address was followed by en
thusiastic applause and cheers, anti
an informal reception was then ten
dered General Edwards. Governor
Baxter and the other officer's present
And with selections by the 103rd In.
fantry Band, the session was ad
journed.
