Record of the Rainbow
Division.
Tho Oliflcrver lias published several
of the let torn from th? members of lh
-llind diviflion (Fuiinbow) in which hlh
pi jiIhp was bestowed upon these fijfht-
cr. Now, that the divisiitn is return

of place to ufrnin presont n brief re
view of what this division necompfish
im toward the downfall of IVu.-Hiiin-ism:
The division was oiled ten times by
the i-'rench nnd six times by, (he Amer
ican commnndcrH under whom it
Perved. It pai tiripiitcd in every major
operation of tho Amrrienn army nnd
reeoived letters of rommendatinn In
each case.
Members of the division have re
ceived two medals of honor, 2M dis
tinguished norvico erosBes, two dixtin
fuished service medals, 175 Croix dp
Guerre, If) Legions of Honor, five Me
dailies Militaries nnd 10 Ikdian deco-'
rations. '
In killcil. wounded and missinp the
division lost VW offiecrn and lM,4Sf)
men, its greatest ea.sualty list follow
ing the Aisne-Marne offensive July
24 to August rt, lust year, which cost
3M officers and UU) men.
In this offensive the 4'Jnd division
relieved the 2Uh American division,
one btigade of the 27th division nnd
four Trenrh divisions. It distinguish
ed itsulf by cutting its way throuch
one Trussan guard division and three
other first class German and bavarian
divisions, going forward eighteen kilo
meters.
field they should be tilling. And the
t rrof is creeping into Germany.
All this without aggression on tb.e
part of the ft Hied armies, and without
the loss of life which must have oc
curred within our ranks had we far

anc) the cities and the men in autho

It is the stern fulfillment o.f the
Pledge from which there is no eiscapc.
And while it sometimes seems; as if
God's justice moved fur too slowly for
man's impatient desire,, it moves to
surely nnd with such fitnesu that it
puts nil mortal efforts to shame.

The American peoplo did not go to
War to enable Italy to grab Finnic and

did not go to war fur thnt purpose,

gotten that fact. If, in the "snored!
egoism" of a victory winch is grealer
thnn they expected, and which wo
helped them win, there la nothing for
the United State:! to do but bid Italy
'n regretful good-bye.
What has become of all the fine
professions with which Italy entered
und waged the war? Anierionns were
with her heart and soul when she
fought to free her "unredeemed" peo
ple from, n foreign yoke and make
herself safe from future menace. We
g:ive Italy our friendship and moral
Hlpport. We lent her viist sums of.
Money. We sent her food, arms -anil

Never before has the American public had the'
money to spend which it has todcy.
The merchant cr manufacturer who sits back and
waits for this money to come to him without making
any effort to get it will awaken when it is too late.
He will then realize that his more aggressive eompeti-.
tor has. been on the job and has taken advantage of
the strongest sales weapon known to industry, name
ly, advertising.
Don't wait for things to come your way without
doing anything to help them along.
Advertise increase your advertising. Use tho
newspapers to tell your story. Multiply the value cf
your sales' talk a thousand fold and more. Develop
that great potential market which is ready and will
ing yes, eager to buy the things you have to sell but.,
does not know that you have them.
To stimulate business surely, quickly, and eco
nomically Advertise new.'
