LEADER OF VICTORIOUS YAiNKS
LEADS PARADE DOWN STR EETS
OF CAPITAL IN BIG WFACOME
\\ \SI 11 NCTON. Sept. 17. (/P) Amid a roar ot wel
jeoinc that reverberated thru the streets ut this city in at: un
i broken volume ul sound, Cieneral John J. 1 rtslur, >i d th
p'irst hivision of the \merican F.xpeditionarv l form - i"
I-'ranee down Pennsylvania avenue, past a review! mg stand
; ill whieli were \ ice-1’resident Marshal, Secretary 11 aker. and
.other government officials. Thoitsamls of entluisi istic pen
iple lined the streets and cheered the American le. ider long
1 after he had passed from sight at the head of the pi roctssmii.
It Uas a big <lav for Washington. It vva tt ie capital
, it\'~ formal welcome to America’s great military cot uinamler
and his men. I ong before the time for the parade J> g:nt
i„iui, the streets filled with long lines ot people who waited
patientlv for the march to begin.
In addition to the enthusiasm lor Cieneral Pershing per
sonally, there was an added interest in the tact that it was
the hirst 1 Jivision which was on parade, hirst not only in
the number of its organization on the ofticial records ol the
war department, but first to land in France, first do lire
a shot at the linns and in numerous other wav . A nd I In
welcome accorded the boys marching in the ranks was not
l,.„. heartfelt than that accorded to their gallant leader.
The First Division, first units or
which returned home today from
Germany, is justly proud of its claim
us being “the first division in
France; first in a fighting sector;
first to fire a shot at the German ;
first t„ attack; first to conduct »
raid; first to be raided; first to cap
ture prisoners; first to inflict casual I
li,.,,; lirsl to suffer casualties; first
in be cited singly in general orders;
lirsl in lhi< number of division,
corps and army commanders and gen
eral staff officers produced from its
personnel.”
Tbe official history of the divi
: ion shows it was organized in
France, the last units to arrive reach
ing that country July 2, 1917. It
was composed of troops of the regn
lar army, (he sixteenth, eighteenth,
twenty-sixth and twenty eighth intan
try regiments; the fifth, sixth and
seventh artillery regiments; the first
engineer regiment and train; the
second field signal battalion and the
third, fourth and fifth ambulance
companies and field hospital.
It occupied successively the Som
luervilh sector, near Nancy; the
Ansauville sector, near Tout; the
t’antigny sector, near Montdidier;
participated in the Soisson’s opera
tion southwest of Soissons; occupied
the Saizerais sector; participated in
the St. Miltiel operation; the Meuse
Argonne operation in tin* Sheppy sec
tor, west of Varennes; the opera
tion against Mouzon, and the opera
tion south and southwest of Sedan,
attacking the heights on the morn
ing of November 7, 1918.
On November 17 it began the
memorable march thru Lorraine and
Luxemburg reaching the Coblenz
bridgehead on the Rhine, December
11, 1 tilS, which position il held un
til relieved recently by other Arneri
can troops.
Replacements in the division up
to the time of the armistice totalled
30,206 and the losses in killed and
dieil of wounds were 4,411; wounded
and gassed 17,201, and prisoners tost
162. It captured 6,467 Germans; 119
pieces of artillery, 62 trench mortars
and 413 machine guns. Tile total
of Distiguished Services Crosses
awarded the men of the division
was 366
Major General William L Siberl
commanded the division from June
8, 1917 to December 12, 1917: Major
General Robert L. Bullard from Do

WILSON STATES LEAGUE OFFERS
THE FIRST TRIBUNAL WHICH CAN
CONSIDER CHINA’S COMPLAINTS
SAX FRAXC'ISCX ). Sept. 17 (/P) III his address de
livered tonight before a lar^e and enthusiastic audience,
1’resident Wilson asserted that the league ot nations pre
sents, in itsell, the onl\ reasonable solution to the Shantung
question. He declared that the society of nations olfers the
first trauma I before which China can brine; a complaint ol
her wrongs and which will have the riight and jurisdiction
to adjust questions ot this kind.
Touching upon the Shantung question, the President
said, in part: ‘‘Neither the L'uited States nor the men, who
are now protesting the Shantung award ottered one word
of protest to the original cession ot rights there to Ccnnanv.
Nor was ari\ protest enured h\ these same men or taction
when Chinese terrilon was taken In Prance, Ptigland and
other great powers.”
The reception ot Pit idem Wilson, when he appeared at
the Civic auditorium tonight, was one ot the greatest ova
tions that has been accorded him on hi Iran continental
speaking tour. When he appeared on the stage, the im
mense audience chcen-d for thirteen minute-- and it was mam
more before the house became quiet enough tor the introduc
torv remarks Idle auditorium eats twelve thousand peo
i ile and it was packed with hundred- ol per-oils crowded into
the available standing space. The noisiness ol the crowd
made the speaking of the President ver> difficult, it being
(practically impossible to keep the congregated people i rom
I voicing aloud their admiration lor the chiel executive. Cut
ling the entire address, scores ol persons in the gallers kept
yelling and talking in a loud tone, altlio they meant no dP
'respect to the speaker ,hut could not retrain Horn expressing
their enthusiasm.

done something for China and had tried to establish a scheme
under which more might he accomplished lor that nation in

claims for self-determination which would be likely to ailed
the peace ol the world.
IRELAND’S CASE
He pointed out the folly of Ireland’s attempt to stir up
opposition to the league saying, “Ireland’s own case could
properly be settled by the league. Her claims could not
come before the peace conlerence at \ ersailles because they
did not come within the jurisdiction ol that body, but there
is nothing to prevent those same claims irom being presented
