Rev. Benjamin C. Robe son, until a short time ago chaplain of the regiment, has written the fol lowing appreciation of Mr. Bullock: “It was not long ago that all New York anxiously and confidently bade adieu to this history-making regi ment, believini them capable, know ing them to be fearless, depending upon them to brighten the memory of their fathers; you watched, waited complishment they forfilot‘ the griev went forth fighting within and nght inf without, yet undaunted. on scious of their lofty mission. long ing to enjoy the rewards of its ac complishment they forgot the griev ances which tormented them and country and hurled the ‘Stars and Stripes’ in the face of the enemy, cry ing, ‘We must make the werld safe for democracy.’ Infectious Smile. ‘“The battle is over, the victory won, and civilization saved. Just a few days ago you welcomed them home ‘again. How proud you were of them and their deeds. They had written into the book of history a chapter even time will not efface—'the fight ing fifteenth.” You saw the flag as it waved proudly bearing a croix de guerre; you embraced the immortal Johnson, who stands without a peer; &'ou watched the resolute step of Sergt. Butler, who breathes the air of fame; you saw others whose names were written on the banner of the daring and exceptionally brave. or them I would not speak, you know their deeds, you witnessed their reward. 1 wish to speak of one who still plods the path of duty with an infectious smile, happy and patient, because he " knows time will dip her pen in the ink of justice and rightly reward him. I refer to Secretary Bullock (we call him ‘Matt’), who wears the badge of the faithful and walks with the step of the worthy. Who, when the boys were weary, slapped them q@n the back and said, ‘carry on,’ and when their faith wavered threw the flaming torch of sane counsel ahead and cried, ‘Boys go to it.’ ‘“Just before that memorable drive of September 25 the boys were with out anything to smoke. Their nerves were tingling with the tension of the hour. The great adventure stared them in the face, the supreme sacri fice waited *their coming on the hills beyond. The Y. M. C. A. was not pres ent with the goods. Matt Bullock went to Chalons, faced the authori ties and said: ‘I have nothing to give my men and they storm the heights tomorrow. I must have something or I cannot go back.’ He was sent many miles away. He went; ha was satis filed. The men had gone into the bat tle, the campaign was on. “Every morning as the cgnnon were belching, men falling and bullets whizzing over the hill, came a human form. On his back were strapped ten or more cartons of cigarettes, cigars and even the old reliable chew. On he came, now and then dropping for shelter, as ‘Minnie’ would cry, ‘How dare you! Men wondered why he came into that region of death. When twilight wrapped the hills in its shadows, back, came the same form empty handed; wearied by the game. His coming and going stopped when there was no regiment to serve. “He ears no croix de guerre upon his breast, but within his breast throbs the spirit of devotion-——devo tion to God, country and race. The multitudes will see no D. 8, C. to tes tify te his courage in that hour, but listen to the reflective melody sung - by.the boys of the old 15th, and you ,1 e ~‘_‘Tfi",% Ae s ~7_;'(,,, o ::’.'i 'y s bRy DR L TOTNY X i s o oTt gl it R L b GETTING FAT.ELMER GOYER.

Sasse and Bravery of Many Other Comrades. Telling of the enslavement of a Bel gian girl by a German officer, of the enthusiasm of two cooks who fought and were wounded in a tank and of the heroism of Maj. Ralph, 1. Sasse, Corp. Otis S. Neal of the 301st Tank Battalion described the part played by him and his friends in the British operations. “Every man will be proud of having served in the battalion,” he s=aid, “and especially of having had such a lead er as Maj. Sasse, who led us on foot many times and reorganized scat tered doughboys. He got hot food for us, led us on long hikes when he _ might have had a ride and won our lJove and esteem.” Neal declared that Sergt. McGowan of Company A, of which he, too, was a member, did well. He told of the finding of Lieut. Hart just climbing out of a tank. The officer, he said, was almost black, having been badly gassed. He ordered a Jitter for a wounded man, and when one was ob tained the man was borne back to safety. The losses of Company A in the first fight, said Neal, were six killed and ‘sixty-three gassed or wounded. He himself was severely gassed while trying to help a comrade. He had to remove his mask when he became sick. Speaking of Capt. “Kit” Varney, his commander, he said: *“He won our admiration for his bravery and kind ness. He was like a father to us. Not a man had to be ordered to go for ward, as they all had such faith in their commander. We were harassed by enemy planes and explosive ghells, but the captain was the coolest man I ever saw. He showed no lack of courage when the final-moment came and we wént over the top. He was killed while walking in front of his tank, pistol in one hand and trench spear in the other.
