Our present, then, is in a position which makes ^ incum bent upon him to become, with the least possible delay, thor oughly familiar with the many delicate and complicated inter national problems/ which /must be dealt with in the framing of the final peace terms. This ifi- fermatlon he is getting at first hand by his close contact with the people whom he meets and the conditions wnich he views, not only in Paris and ..London, but throughout the devastated regions of France and Belgium. It may be easy enough here in peaceful and prosperous Amer ica—no. matter how much one may desire to be just—to say that the war should end without indemnities and, without the in diction of punishment upon those responsible for it; but to be really just in the matter to all concerned, one should see with his own eyes (at least so far as that course is now possi ble) just what the Germans and their allies have really done. And, in order to be in a position to determine what is necessary to prevent a repetition of this great crime, 1 it is important to see and to understand juat how near Germany came to the ac complishment of her pufpoap to conquer and enslave the world./ These facts were undoubtedly realized by President Wilson be fore he announced his interitiorf to visit Europe, and they are not only sufficient to justify his course, but if he had failed to necessary for the public welfare. slelirium throughout the country a few weeks ago when President Wilson.announced his purpose of going to Europe. Every one ad mitted the fact that he had a perfect right to go, but thou- j Sands of our leading citizens pro tested vigorously against such a eourse largely because the thing h^d never been done by any oth er occupant of the White House. The president is noW in Eu rope and has been there for over two weeks; moreover he has been absent from the United States for nearly a month, and still none of the dire calamities predicted by those who opposed bis trip have come to pass; while, on the other hand/ it is becoming more and more appar ent to every one who keeps in touch with the march of events that it is very fortunate that we have in Woodrow Wilson, at least one citizen who declines to let the silly American supersti tion that a thing not yet done should never be done, interfere with the full exercise of the right and duty to follow the dic tates of one's conscience and best judgment, rather than senseless rules of precident. march s6/far/that day, but to spend the night on the fuad in one of the deserted villages and go on next day. The men were very tired and this was done. The battalion reached Somme- •dieu the next day^ about noon and went about five mites furth er *©n and went into ' camp at Carnp Massa. At Sommedieu J saw the large railroad guns for the fi r st time. These guns ‘fired several shots at the German linos while 1 was at Sommedieu, and when the first shot was fir- I was satisfied that the Ger mans had blown up the other end of the town. You cannot imagine such a noise. We were at Massa two nights and one day and re lieved a battalion of the 138th Infantry, 33th Division, on the front line between Verdun and Metz, just north of the Verdun- Metz road. We had been within Tange of the enemy artillery for several days, but had not bee'n troubled very much. Our artil lery was located near us and both had come in for some return fire, but no damage was done. We sent out patrols every night to locate the enemy machine guns and get any information possible. During the night of Novem ber 8th I received orders to send out patrols to make contact with the enenfy; in a short time 1 had orders cancelling that order and directing me to give my men breakfast at 6 a. m. without fail, a little later instructions came saying that the men would wear a certain uniform and caTry cer tain equipment. I knew then that the expected advance had | what part he would take. It wasi come anc ^ * n a / ew ^ ours some job and we were hard at j we wou ^ be in the line. Latei work when the division was or-1 an order came saying tru.t the dered north to the sector near 81st Division would attack the Verdun and the proposed fight j enemy that morning at 8 a. m., called off. We were more than ; an ^ that as soon as the troops ot glad for yer-y few of us would 322nd Infantry appeared on toon bridge that I hive seen in pictures.

MAJ. JAMES A. WILLIS- Continued trom First Pagej Long before the war closed, it was apparent that, when the end came, the terms of the armistice would be based largely, if not entirely, upon the ideas of jUs- lic^outlined by our president in kis messages to congress and his Botes to the Central Powers; and ever since the signing of the ar mistice it has been equally clear that the final peace terms will b€j molded very closely along the lines which President Wilson considers best for the^ world’s welfare. This is true both be cause he represents the greatest of all nations and one which, al though it has been the deciding factor in the war, .has no selfish interests to promote at the peace table, and also because he has become through his public utter ances and official acts the recog nized and universally trusted have come out of it. We had been told that we might expect heavy losses. Very encouraging for the fellows that had to take part. Frbm Takitrux we march ed to St. Helene, stopping at two villages en route. This is the most beautiful part of France, I think. We stayed here ten-days or two weeks resting up and get ting in shape for the fight that we knew was coming soon. We ■ marched out of St. Helene at 12:30 on the morning of Novem ber 2nd to Chatel-sur-Moselle and boarded the train that af ternoon and detrained the next morning at 3 o’clock at Sam- pigny when the following order was handed to me: * — “Major Willis: You will have j to be at Sommedieu by tomor row night. You should leave very early tomorrow morning even if it is a bright day. I will meet you on the way with full instructions. Take only your haversacks, two days’ rations and slickers, Put other things in squad rolls. , You will have to mai^ph about. 40 k. tomorrow. Havd detail to load sqd. rolls on ittrucks. IT. A. Pearce/' - - Thia notfe was written by Col. Pearce the night before we ar rived and meant that we would have to make 25 miles that day in the face of an order higher up that troops would not march on the road in daylight unless it was very cloudy. Sampigny was a city about the size of Spartan burg and had been deserted by the inhabitants. They had gone axva>. and left everything. We found places for the men to get premier of the world. And, if some sleep Befqre leaving at 8 the proposed league of nations j that, morning. long after my left, I Would withdraw my command and proceed to Haudi- moat for further orders. This we did and found the fight in full swing with the 324th Infantry on the firing line and our regi ment in support, with instruc tions to be prepared to attack at any moment. ""Since the organization of the new army a battalion is prac tically as large as a regiment was before the war. The nor mal strength is a little more than 1,000 men and 32 officers. All the fighting is done by battal ions ; all movements by battalion and it is seldom that more than one battalion is billeted in the same town, -Usually in a fight a battalion is reenforced with one-pounder guns, trench mor tars, a machine £un company, and often a battery of field ar tillery. So you will readily see that a battalion commander of ten has a young army to handle. (To be continued next week) ton, was a visitor -nesday. Mr. J. I. Hutto, of Black- ville R. F.
