m PRAISED
ORDER ISSUED TO 33TH DIVI
SION BY MAJOR GENERAL
TRAUB CITES UNITS FOR
BRAVERY AND HEROIC WORK.
Missouri and Kansas troops, for
merly comprising the national guard
of those two states, and which made
up the 35th division in France, includ
ing a tew national army men used to
fill up the national guard ranks, were
given personal praise by Major Gen
eral Peter E .Traub, commanding the
division, for their great lighting in the
Argonne sector from September 25
to October 1.
A copy of General Traub's order
to his officers and men, praising them
for their bravery and distinguished
service, have been received in Joplin.
The six-days battle in the Argonne
forest, in which the Missouri and Kan
sas boys drove back picked German
divisions, was one of the fiercest and
most important battles of the entire
war. No division ever showed better
and every soldier from Missouri and
Kansas brought honor to himself, the
army and his country by the manner
in which he faced and defeated the
enemy.
Southwest Missouri Units
Among the units cited in General
Traub's older are those made up of
outhwest Missouri boys, including
the 12Sth 129th and 130th machine
gun battalions. 110th trench battery,
UOth amunition train, 110th sanitary
train and 128th field artillery regi
ment. Among the members of the
110th ammunition train and 128th
field artillery regiment are boys sent
fro.i Monett through the local selec
tion bouid in September and October
1917. They ..ere sent to Camp Funs
ton and later transferred to Camp
Doniphan to help fill up the ranks of
the guard companies.
"You have accomplished these tasks
with fearlessness, courage and disre
gard of danger and hardship which
fully justifies the pride which those
at home have in you." says General
Traub, in his order. "Vauquois, Char
pentry, Boulny, Exermont, Bois de
Rossionol, Ourage i' Aden, Chespy,
Bois de Mondcbea, are names that you j
may take just pride in passing on tc j
vour native states as having been the
scenes of your feats of arms."

HEREFORD MEN HOLD MEETING
The Southwest Hereford Breeders'
Association and the citizens oi Monett
held an open meting at the Elks hall
Thur.-day evening. There was a good
attendance and the session was most
enjoyable. The jazz band, from
Springfield, which was here to play
for the Thanksgiving dance, enter
tained the crowd foi nn hour before
they went to the dance hall.
Speeches were made by Mayor S. A.
Chapell and F. P. Sizer, of Monett;
Col. Al Hudson, of Fail-view; Fred
Quade, of Peirce City, and others.
Young Farmer, who sold a yearling
for $24,000 at the stock show at Kan
sas City, recently, was carried to the
platform and asked to make a speech.
He responded by telling how he raised
the prize animal, in the face of ridi
cule of his neighbors. But his method
was a success and he was the gainer
thereby.
Fred Quade, of Peirce City, told in
his broken English, how his mother-in-law
told him he was crazy when he
started in the stock breeding business.
But when he sold an animal for $700,
the lady drew a long breath and said:
"I wish my old man had gone crazy
the same time you did." His speech
brought down the house. His young
son was then taken to the front and
introduced as the youngster who paid
$1,035 for the first animal he ever
bought.
The meting was full of good feeling
and enthusiasm and was much enjoy
ed by all who were present.

LIEUTENANT PERRY
CITED TOR BRAVERY
Monett Officer Is 0;ie of Number Re
ceiving Special Mention Major Loy
of Aurora, in the List.
Lieutenant W. S. Perry, of Monett,
and Major T. H. Loy, of Aurora, were
cited for bravery in action by com
mand of Major General Traub. Other
officers mentioned at the same time
were Captain George H. Wark, and
Captain Douglas McDonald. All were
in the 129th Machine Gun Battalion.
The order reads:
"The Division Commander takes
great pleasure in citing in general
orders the courage and devotion to
duty, in the face of the enemy, of the
following named officers of this di
vision: "First Lieutenant W. S. Perry, Ad
jutant, 129th Machine Gun Battalion,
on the morning of September 27, 1918,
while making reconnoissance for his
battalion commander, voluntarily took
charge of a platoon of Company C,
129th Machine Gun Battalion, and
went forward in the face of intense
machine gun fire, made reconnoissance
of gun positions, led the platoon for
ward to these positions, and by his
courage and energy inspired his men
to keep their guns in action during a
heavy bombardment of enemy artil
lery and machine gun fire."
According to reports Lieutenant
Perry was most daring in this work
of reconnoissance to which he volun
teered and was so busy keeping in
touch with the whole action through
his field glasses that he did not think
of his personal safety. Although his
companions called to him repeatedly
to gel down lower he paid no atten
tion to then warnings but he ordered
his men to lie down in shell holes or
behind knolls for their protection. To
make it worse their own artillery was
filing short and hitting all around
them. Two of our own men were
hurt by our own shells.
In writing home about his citation
the Lieutenant says that he "was
tickled to death" to get it and that he
and the Major held quite a jubilee
Such an honor means much to a sol-
cjjer
In regard to Major Loy the order
reads:
"Major T. H. Loy, commanding
129th Machine Gun Battalion, on the
morning of September 26th, 1918,
near Cheppy, France, in the face of
intense enemy machine gun and artil
lery fire, made a personal reconnois
sance for machine gun positions and
so skillfully placed the guns of his
command, and by his absolute disre
gard of personal saf-y so instilled
courage and confidence into men serv
ing them, that to him belongs a large
share of the credit for the reduction
of this strongly defended locality. On
the afternoon of September 29th, near
Baulny, France, learning of an enemy
counter-attack on the positions north
of Baulny, he gathered together a
force of men various organizations
near Charpentry and led them up to
the firing line, establishing them in
position. This action had a great
moral effect on the men in the front
lines, enabling them more easily to
repulse the enemy attack."
Captain George H. Wark led his
men into Cheppy, Fiance, on the
morning of September 25. Captain
Douglas McDonald, on September 26.
near Chaudron Farm, while making a
reconnoissance under intense fire, dis
covered a gap of half a mile in our
lines ann placed his machine gun
company in the gap, then reorganized
some straggling and disorganized in
fantry and scouts and led them for
ward, putting them in position there,
i thus preventing a possible infiltration
of the enemy forces.
