First Real "Doughboys"
Arrive on Transport
305th Bakery Division Rolled
11,999,000 Pounds of Dough
for the Old 69th
The first real, honest-to-goodness
doughboys, the men who converted 11,
999,000 pounds of dough into fine eatable
bread, chiefly for the old 69th Infantry,
arrived here yesterday on the trans?
port Columbia from Marseilles.
On the army records they were de?
scribed as the 305th Bakery Company,
but over there they were called the
"dough beaters" by the men who con?
sumed their product.
When reporters went aboard the Co?
lumbia yesterday some of the eighty
two bakers laughed in derision at the
prospect of getting into public print.
"Ha. ha!" said Private W. A. Boiler,
of Chicago. "We are the doughboys.
Don't fail to call us the doughboys.
It's a huge joke, with whiskers on it a

such a great place to live in.
"I'm in favor of making Germany

Asked if he would be willing to go

he said:

Fliers Who Found
"Lost Battalion"
Home From France
Would Have Located Missing
Troops Sooner Had Col.
Whittlesey Sent Report of
True Position, They Say
New tales of the famous "Lost Bat?
talion" were brought here yesterday
by men of the 60th Aero Squadron
who arrived from Marseilles on the
transport Caserta with 1,500 troops.
The squadron, according to the avi?
ators, lost four 'planes, two men were
killed and one wounded in its search
for the lost fighters. Some believed
the battalion's casualties would not
have been so heavy had Colonel Whit?
tlesey reported his true position.
Lieutenant Mitchell IT. Brown, who
won the D. S. C. for hazardous service
while flying in the Argonne, said that
the battalion sent In a report 500
metres off its true position and that
the aviators who were sent out in
search of Whittlesey were misguided.
"The reason the battalion was not
discovered sooner," said Lieutenant
Brown, "was because the commander
failed to coordinate his position with
the remainder of the division and the
adjoining negro troops."
The,, aero squadron came home yes?
terday in command of Lieutenant S. H.
Batson. With them came Lieutenant
Robert McAndrew, of Rock Spring,
Wyo., who, while flying low over the
Argonne Forest October 7, 1918, found
the "Lost Battalion" and reported his
discovery to headquarters by wire?
less.
At 6 p. m. that day the rescue was
made and the lost fighters were united
with their comrades.

! Troy Milk Prices Too High,
Commissioner Clark Says
TROY, N. Y., May 8.?Commissioner
j Datus Clark to-day began an investiga?
tion of the price of milk in Troy. He
found that consumers were- paying 15
cents a quart for Grade B, raw milk,
and 70 cents a quart for inferior cream.
Commissioner Clark said that the
price of milk in this city was exces?
sive ano, he believed, unwarranted by
. conditions. He recommended fewer
distributers as one solution of the
problem.

A Word with Your
Twenty-four Dollar Island
i
I COME down from a mountain to your twenty-four
dollar island Peter Minuit bought for twenty-four
dollars, which is raising forty thousand dollars a minute
now, all day, all night, three weeks, for America, for the
fate of a world.
Everybody knows what New York banks can do.
What everybody wonders is?what crowds in the
streets of New York will do.
In Germany the Kaiser and others have remarked
with a thousand guns, with poisonous gas and subma?
rines, with four million dead men, that crowds cannot
do things.
Forty nations and the crowds in the streets of a hun?
dred thousand cities have leaped up around a world to
deny it!
Inch by inch back through the door of the hell they
had made for us, into the hell they had made for them?
selves, crowds have driven back Germans!
The crowds in the streets of New York have cast
like a vow, cast like a sacrament on the sacred soil o?
France, seven thousand dead men to prove that crowds
qan think, that crowds can be deep, that crowds can be
sincere and do things!
I come down from my mountain to look up to the
crowds in the streets! i
I have seen the crowds stand in The Avenue and
weep! I have seen the crowds stand in The Avenue
and cheer!
The world is watching the crowds this week in New
York?! ,
Forty nations, oh, crowds of New York, are looking
in your faces!
