appears In tlic ofllclnl casualty list Is
sued today by .t'lie War Department.
Although tho RcrRcnnt lias, been In this
country for more 'ian two month, lie
'Is llstcil In today's ofllclnl report of over.
' Mas casualties us "wounded severely,
erroneously reported returned to duty."
During thcitlme It has been necessary
for tho War Department to take In re
porting this case, Serueant Clair has
been sent home, removed to a base hos
pital In Haltlmorc nnd there recovered
,so rapidly from his wound that he Is ex
pected to return' to his homo tomorrow.
Before entering tho service ot the na
tion, the soldier was studying law at the
University of Pennsylvania, nnd despite
the fact that ho Is now blind he expccTs
to continue the course.
Sergeant Clair's name Is Included In
the smallest casualty list that has been
Issued by ofllclnl Washington In six
weeks. The total for the country Is only
155, as compared with tho 1000 and
2000 names on the reports Rlen out
last week and early .this week.
Twenty-nine Pennsylvanlans arc In
cluded In the list released for the morn.
Ing newspapers, whllo the afternoon list
contains the names of forty-two from
this State.
The roll of honor for Philadelphia and
tho surrounding district, totals thirty

the wcpk.
Of this number, three Rave up their
lives In tho service. Two of them live
rhllndolplilans. Wounds resulted In the
death of one nnd the second died as n
result of an accident. Disease resulted
In the death of a man from North Wales.
Xeaily half of the local heroes named

names were not even cabled to tlhs
country, but were sent over by courier.

TRICK COST FOE DEAR,

F. K. Turner Tells How Gun
Squad, Carrying Red

The Ceiinans' idea of furthering their
pleas for an armistice Is to sally forth
from their dugouts, dressed ai Hed

'Ing a stretcher

So they at
tempfed to deceive

as Sergeant Frank
K. Turner, a mem-
s her of the unit.
K. K TL'ItN'mt puts it. "He will
never fire another shot." A sharp-eyed
imiper, detecting the attempted decep
tion, iileked off the entire party of five
boohe before they could do any harm.
Aside from trlcklncss, however, the
average German soldier is a poor op
ponent, accortllnc to Sergeant Turner's
correspondence with his sister, Mrs. A.
M. Lorcnz, 1717 South Sixteenth street.
In one regard only does Sergeant Tur
ner pntertn.n respect for the nvecage
Gciinan soldier. He admires his run
ning ability immensely, but deplores his
judgment In leaving so much of his
wearing apparel behind. In this con
nection the sergeant says: 9
"Wo have got the bodies' goat, and a
large number of his army and goodness
knows how much of his booty. There
are dead Hermans in every woods, and
clothing, rifles, bullets, helmets, belts,
machine guns, etc., were left to their
fate they had to go so fast. They
even left some of their horses behind."

"This speaks Tor Itself, as to be men

DARED FOE'S FIRE
TO SAVE HIS MEN
lieutenant Hitzeroth, Brave
Philadelphia.), Captured
at Chateau-Thierry
OPERATED MACHINE GUN
Held Off Germans' Deadly As
sault Until Privates Re
turned to Lines
Kdward Hitzeroth, first lieutenant of
Company M. 100th Infantry (First Itegl
ment National C.uard of Pennsylvania),
Is a prisoner In tne Oermnn prison
camp nt Vllllngen, but that docs not
dim his wnr record.
He fought hard nt Chateau-Thierry,
and according to comrades, nctnnlly
saved a part of hla company' frrfm an
nihilation by manning a mnchlne-gun In
tho face of a withering German fire. Ills
boys got back to their lines, but Hltz
oroth wns raptured.
His home la at 3419 Itace street and
In letter' received by Mrs. Hitzeroth
the lieutenant asserts that he Is well
and living to ndjust himself to prison
life.
Story of Capture
How Lieutenant Hitzeroth was cap
Hired Is told In a letter received by Mrs.
Hitzeroth from an officer who saw the
Philadelphia!! In the thick of the light
ing. The otnrcr believed the lieutenant had
been killed nnd wrote the letter In an
effort to console Mrs., Hitzeroth. It was
received ten dnys after the International
Ited Crost notllled her that her hui
mand had been captured. Tho letter
follow!:
"The first of my close friends In be
lot'over here wns your husband. Know
ing that ,oii would not get particulars.
I have niade Inquiries so that I might
give jolt all the Information obtainable.
It was on July 16. the beginning of the
Herman drive. Kd was In the rronl
line and his company held on long after
tlie troop.e on their right nnd left had
withdrawn. His company wns ordered
to withdraw. Kd was last seen on a
road w llli a fergeant. He was operating
a. machine-gun to cover up the with
drawal or his men nnd due to his ex
cslleut account or hlmseir his men were
able to withdraw with a minimum loss.
Later the sergeant's body was found, but
no trace of your husband. It Is pos
sible therefore that he wns taken pris
oner. t'aune for Trlde
"You can be extremely proud of your
husband's gallantry nnd courage dis
played in this action. I have heard
splendid reports from those who wero
with him In the front lino and those who
paw him make his last stand. You have
my deepest sjinpathy nnd moreover I
want you to know how proud I am of the
last account 1-M gave of himself. Ho
has the admiration or the entire dlvi
t"Ioii."
Mrs. Hltzemth Is very proud or that .
letter. "I have received letters from my
husband," she said, "but never did he
tell me of that action. He never writes '
o'r talks about himself, so the letter Is ,
very comforting. For weeks I thought
Kd had been killed. Then I received j
woid that he had been taken prisoner i
and later I -celvcd this letter. He did
Ills best In that fight and 1 am proud
of him."
Lieutenant JJItzeioth for nearly
twenty ears was a member of the First
City Troop and when that organization!
was disrupted at Camp Hancock he I
was given a place in tlie 109th Infantry.

Private Jacobsoii's letter, written Hop

as follows:
vel I am out or the hospital i'l
last. I am feeling line, except for
short-windedness. Wns discharged fiom
the hospital and re-examined,
"I was transferred to a classification
camp to do clerical work. Will be bete

never see It. You see, things are lather
uncertain up nt tho front, t specially
when shells begin to drop around you.
That's what makes a fellow sore. Filtz
will not stand up and light mnn-to-mait,
but makes a strategic retreat,
depending on his guns and gas to hold
vou. That's when I was gassed. 1 was
In the hospital up until a week ago.."

TIME GOES BACK
HOUR TOMORROW
Advance Your Clock 11
Circuits Tonight and
Save Trouble
DANGER IN BACK TURNS
Watchmakers Say Delicate
Mechanism ls Likely to Be
Disturbed and Broken
All clocks should be turned back one
hour by 2 o'clock tomorrow morning.
That Is the tlmo officially designate 1
by the flov eminent to return the hour
hoi rowed from the future March SI,
when the daylight saving law went Into
effect.
Although S o'clock tomonovv morning
Is the hour set, this does not mean that
tnj one must remain nwake to abide
by tho ruling. The same result may
be obtained by moving the hour hand
of vour timepiece tonight before J"c
tiring. In Philadelphia, nnd, In fnct, most
Places throughout the country, the hour
will be turned back tonight, Many
have decided to perfoim this Important
work nt 10 o'clock.
If ono turns back the hour before re
tiring he will fmd on nwal.inlng that he
Is apace with the lest of the world,
.Should any one for any peculiar lea
ron not nblde by the ruling, he will find
himself an hour ahead of time In every
htng he dots.
The return ot the borrowed hour will
not In the least complicate matters, al
though it will have some very odd fen-
tires. For instance, tho chap who i
haves Wilmington over the Pennsylva
nia itallroa'd on the 1.35 A. M. train to
morrow will arrive at Broad street sta
tion fifteen minutes before lie started,
assuming that the railroad company
turns the hand back nt two o'clock. In
stead of arriving nt 2.20, the scheduled
time, ho will arrive nt 1.20, under tho
new time.
Taxlcab chauffeurs will have' to be
especially careful around the early
morning hours or they will find that the
man they carried around for an hour
renlly owes them nothing at all, ac
cording to the clock.
Telephone girls will also have to bo
on the alert. Many long-winded per
sons who hold early morning long dis
tance conversations may nssert that
they havo not been talking at all, and
almost prove it by the clock.
