IHIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGI ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO RANCHES IN ALU THE PRINCIPAL CITIES EACH DIVISION BEST IX FRA1VCE (Bv Lowell Mellett, United Press Corespondent.) (By Mail Aug. 12.) The general never bated an eye as he pronounced this verdict on his own division: "They're the best division tn France. Sir!" Thus calmly he didn't raise his voice and he didn't bang the tabla with his fist he gave his men credit for having won the keenest compe tition of its kind that France has seen. This is the competition be tween divisions. It has been nnder way ever since there have been as many as two divisions over here to compete. Each as striving to prove that in organization and in spirit it leads all the others. "I'll tell you why." said the gener al, "These tar-heels and Tennessee mountain lads .of mine are all real Americans. I don't supose more than dozen of them ever saw a foreigner until he came over here. You go and look them over and Bee if I'm not right." ' Which we did. Several companies ot them were passing the general s house at the moment. They trudged along easily nnder the pack that some soldiers considered so heavy. They were cheerful, and unwearied. "Wheah do we go from heah?" one asked of another. The other replied that the captain had called for volunteers to storm the fcrewery In the next town. He didn't smile and the others who heard It enjoyed it without smiling. And British Tommies working on the road put them down, no doubt, as aome more of those serious Ameri cans. They looked Just as good as the general said they were. But when we visited one of their camps halt an hour later the first man to whom we were Introduced bore a name as Ger man as Ludendorff. That might teem to refute the general's theory, of this man, a captain, had not talked with a drawl that comes from being born In the land of cotton. On a hill-slope close by, a target practice with machine guns was under way. Every now and then there came a burst of excited cheering. It sound ed like a ball game. That was one ot the reasons this was the best divis ion In the army, the captain explain ed; there was keen competition am ong the men themselves and instead of keeping this feeling bottled up it was ecnouraged in every way. Of course, he said, there wasn't much real necessity for teaching his men to hoot, Bince they came from a section where everybody knew how to use a rifle. A man who couldn't hit a buz zard in a tree-top at half a mile, was considered a community disgrace. The yells of derision and delight continued from the hill-slope. They forcasted a new experence for Ger man troops when they meet that bit of civil war frightfulness known as the rebel yell. They looked mighty good, these Southern boys. However "I'll tell you why our division has the lead over the others," said a New York Colonel, "We've been a division 1 IIU (fourieny of Ufa and t'hvliii ! Oilxoo.) Planting home gardens, producing more food, and saving food are all war-time efforts of this government in which the women of America have co-operated loyally. We are all in the home army; the home army here must help tthe fighting forces and home armies over there; 120 million Allies must eat or twenty years; we're not a yearling outfit, like the rest. W'eve worked together for a long time, and came over here together. And now we've got an air tight, fighting division." That was today. . Day before yes terday It was the general command ing certain illlinoisans. The exact argument he offered In support of . his contention that his is the best di-! vision in France can't be repeated without running counter to censor-' ship. To see the men, however. Is to ' realize one ot the grounds for his con fidence. There is a certain sureness ; in their bearing that only rests on shoulders where it belongs. One Illinois officer advanced the belief that the German element in their numbers was a source of real strength. The boys with German pa rents or German grandparents, he said, they have an extra proof to give ot their Americanism, and they are giving it. ,"Did you ever see a crowd look quite as much at home?" asked a Pennsylvania major. "I tell you they were just made for this. Of course, it doesn't reflect any particu lar credit on us, for we had certain natural advantages, but as a matter of cold fact, it is the best division in France." New England officers who once used argument somewhat akin to that of the general of the tar-heels, now simply smile and remark, "Cantlgny." Ana tne commander ot the troops REGISTER.
