North Carolina "Hell Cats," battle scarred heroes of the world's greatest war, arrived today on the transport Finland, 14 days out from St. Nazaire. Most of them are members of the 115th machine gun battalion, although Carolina was well represented in the 114th field artillery. Captain Robert G. C. Herry, Gastonia, Company A, 115th, told of the thrilling exploits of this organization. The 115th had a hand in breaking the Hindenburg line and took part in some of the most sanguinary engagements of the war. Colonels Gleason and Lea, both Ten. nesseeans, members of the 114th field artillery were lavish in their praise of the Carolinians. "They were in ht thick nf th fio-ht everv mniute." Col. Gleason stated, "and we always knew before hand that they could be counted on to the death in any emer gency." The Carolinians were met at the dock by Brigadier General Harley B. Ferguson, commandant of the port. General Ferguson is a North Carolina man and was witfr the Old Hickory when it first reached France. He looked up most -of the officers today and talked over the old tiineg with them. Many of tha men knew him by Bight and he was given a roua- lwr moliA vvi a a a Vn noaao1 t Via m urc.h ing heroes in his machine on the way back to headquarters. - Companies B.

They were sent to Camp Stuart, this city, when they landed, and put through the "de-cootieizing" process. As the Carolinians came in this morning the 113th artillerymen pulled out for Raleigh, where they will be given a rousing reception before go ing to Camp Jackson for demobiliza tion. A DOUBLE FIND.
