OVATION
Returned War Hero Cheered to the
Echo On Appearance in Red Cross
Lecture to Lamest Audience Ever
Assembled In the Pace Tells of
'Fine Work of Yanks. '
: When Lieutenant Colonel E. K
Kelly walked on tlio stage last' night
the large audienco which packed tho
Page theatre from orchestra pit to
the topmost seat in the gallon- greet
ed 111 in with an ovation, and the
cheering was prolonged after he had
fcoen seated until ho waa forced to
rise and bow again. It was a fitting
welcome home to Medford's highest
ranking and most experienced sol
dier of the war, on the part ofvthe
aiedford public.
Colonel Kelly, who much to the
gratification of the audience wore
his uniform and distinguished service
rlubone., made the address for the
benefit of the Red Cross. He held
the audience, which was the largest
ever assembled in the theater, for on
hour and a half.,
Kxplalns CnniwiKn
. Those who expected a fire-eating
and flag-waring address, with much
condemnation of the Germans and
perhaps a description of somo of the
colonel's thrilling experiences were
doomed to disappointment. -.
Instead Colonel Kelly gave a dig
nified, instructive talk on the Amer
ican array's campaign from the be
ginning In France up until the time
the armistice was declared, of course
interspersed with characteristic hu
mor, but thruout his hearers had
many a thrill of pride over the won
derfut exploits and bravery of the
American soldiers. What made his
romarkB interesting' and descriptions
so full of interest was the fact that
ho himself had seen it all. had been
thru all the big battles with the
American forces, in which he played
so important a part and was three
times recommended by as many dif
ferent commanders for the distin
guished service medal.
, Introduced by Xeff
When, after his introduction to
the audience by Porter J. Xeff in
whloh his year's service in the war
was sketched, the 'colonel DeganEi
address with the usual "Ladies and
Gentlemen, fellow citizens." and then
naively added "Home Folks", an ex
pression which he had so long longed
to be able to utter, it made a tre
mendous hit with the audience. -
He announced at the start that hei
would confine his address to the
campaign of the Argonne which was
only stopped the enemy but drove
them back.
TtirnliiK lint of War
When . Hie demoralized French
army quickly learned what tho here
tofore somewhat llespisod as soldiers
Americans had done they quickly
came toack and rallied and joined
with tho Americans in tho attack.
That was the turning point of tho
war and "the Germans never had a
good day after that time," the spoak
er said.
"After Chateau Thierry the French
people began to take their hats oft to
an American officer when they met
him," said Colonel Kelly significant
ly. He then wont on to tell how the
Americans closed up the St. Mihiel
sector, a tiling the French had been
unable to do for tour years, and how
tho First American army then took
tho field with a front that reached
from Verdun to Moti.
ItatUo of Argonno
Now Colonel Kelly described the
Argonne battle, especially the ex
ploits of the SOth division of which
he was chief signal officer, and which
was dumped down Into the battle at

with obliterated roads and in which
hundreds of thousands ot allied
oold'ers had been killed during the
war. He told of how roads were hu
rlodly constructed under difficulties
and of how the German machine gun
nests were finally cleared out. Dur
ing the first part of the drive the
Americans were not properly equip
ped, the speaker said
The final American drive which
ended when the armistice was signed
was then described, and Colonel
Kelly's description aroused ardent
pride in the American soldier, espec
ially the partly trained and inexper
ienced ones.
In Final Smash
He told how 7000 inexperienced
replacement American soldiers arriv
ed during the final drive, and were
thrown into the hot fighting. "They
did their Job like the best trained
soldiers of Europe," said Colonel
Kelly. He saw one newly uniformed
and awkward appearing soldier, and
approaching him learned that he had
Just arrived In France from Chicago
a short time before, having been
started from that city four days after
he received his uniform. On arrival
in France he was hurried to the
front.
"Are you In the 80th division?
inquired the soldier of Colonel Kelly
"Yes."
"Go ahead and give 'em hell. We
are with you."
Tho remainder of the war address
was devoted to telling of methods of
attack, artillery fire, barages, etc.
and of how the armv kent in touch
lth its advanced elements in the
front attack by every metallic devlco,
telegraph, and phone wires, airplanes
and carrier pigeons. He stated that
the carrier pigeons were not reliable.
, Story of "Ited"
The heroic conduct of a red-haired
sloppy sergeant In the signal corps in
fixing a wire communication broken
by an enemy shell, was dwelt on.
'There were a million such Reds
in our army in France", proudly as-
the most Imnnrtant oa in whiM. hA serted Colonel Kelly. "I never saw a

most diversified and called out all
their initiative and fighting qaulities.
From then on he used the aid of a
; blackboard and maps to illustrate.
Construction Work
First he sketched the wonderful
and immense construction work of
the American army in establishing
their huge supply bases, docks, ware-
houses, railroads, hospitals, air
dromes, ordnance depots, feeding ar-
rangements, etc., because the French
system was so woefully inadequate
that it could not be relied dn.
Of course along with this came the
herculean task of building up the
lines of communication, and the
. speaker dwelt at some length on the
signal corps work, with which he
was so familiar, having been a hign
officer in the signal corps .service
during his year's service and having
been promoted to lieutenant colonel
last September.
Finally all this constructive wuik
having been established the Amer
ican army, what there was of it in
France then, was ready for business
and was assigned a position on the
sector fronting Alsace Lorraine, a
nice quiet lady-like sector, tho only
position which the French up to that
time felt it could trust them with.
The Americans were chafing and
longing to get into the fight actively,
and disregarding the Instructions of
the French officers began worrying
the Germans with artillery fire and
raids in No Man's Land and on the
trenches. In this way they broke
themselves in for the important work
to follow.
Serious Situation
Then the Germans began their
drive against the British army, which
steadily guve way and was bent
towards their supply oase at Amiens
which was almost captured. It was
a very serious situation.
: Later came the drive of the Ger
mans against the French with Paris
as the objective, which would have
succeeded had it not been for the two
American divisions which were
thrown In at Chateau Thierry to aid
tho French. The colonel's description
of how the second division arrived
hurriedly, took up positions and set
up their machine guns In the streets
of Chateau Thierry and waited for
tbo oncoming of the hordes of Ger
mans was thrilling.
All, this time the panic-stricken
and beaten French were rushing Into
Chateau Thierry, throwing their arms
and haversacks away and "shouting
''The war is over." ; t
, Finally the victorious Germans ar
rived ,.and nothing stood . between
them and Paris but the two American
divisions of inlropld soldiers who not
Closing his address by answering
the query "What do we get out of
all this sacrifice of blood and treas
ure?" the speaker said that he had
come back from tho war physically,
morally and mentally a better man,
and that would be the experience of
all American soldiers. The fighting
qualities of the American soldier and
the initiative and wonderful things
accomplished by the nation and her
fighters would make all the world
chary about seeking trouble with
Uncle Sam. Then, too, Europe and
the world is better generally inform
ed about the American nation and
this country-, and was more respect
ing.
Colonel Kelly took occasion to
deny all knowledge of an interview
purporting to have come from him
published in a local paper last Sun
day, and stated he did not come home
to seek a political Job. "I am not a
hero," he said, "and what I did over
there was my duty, and I got paid
well for it. Let me alone and I will
make a living for myself and family
without any political job or aid."
