them. They're Just about the gamest
llltle bunch of buddies I've seen."
The atmosphere of Ward 23, where
Private Summeril Is one of the stretcher
cases, was the cheeriest of the. whole
cantonment today. A lot of good-natured
bantering was going on from cot
to cot. lu a corner a "walking case"
was making merry with a Jen-sharp,

partly hidden under pillows enjoying
forbidden "fags," and o the side of

tiavest Hpot In Camp
Outside the big hospital, the earnp
hud the desolate appearance of a pene
trating, damp, vvliitry day. Inside, it
was pleasantly warm and cherry. Not
even those men of the latest draft who
vveie leaving today with honorable dis
charges In their pockets seemed an happy
as those of their comrades who have
been over on the other side, done their
part, paid tho price, and now have ic
turned to face life anew under tremen
dous handicaps.
There were sixteen Pblladelphlans
among the lot of wounded men landed
a few days ago froip the tiansport Poca
hontas, at Newport, and sent thence to
Camp Di.x-. Most ot them wem "walking
cases" and therefoie were allowed to go
to their homes for the Thanksgiving
holiday.
The cases of Coiporal J. A. Doody. of
1613 South Taney street, and Private
Summeril are the most serious among
the wounded Phlladelphlans. Going Into
action for the fourth time in the Verdun
sector on September 29, Doody was
stiuclt in the back and left hip by shell
splinters. He expects to he removed to
a hospital in Philadelphia noon for an
operation to remove shattered pieces Kjf
tlie hip bone.
Nonconm Ilrarent of Foen
Summeril also saw service on the Ver
dun front, but did not receive his
wounds until some time later. Ho par
ticipated in tlie fighting on the Somme,
and lit Barnicourt, and during his whole
time of service spent only four days ln
the trenches. It was after the now
famous "million-dollar barrage" was laid
down by the American artillery on a
sixty-mile front In the Verdun sector,
that Summeril experienced his first open
fighting, on September 26. After that
he was In the thick ot It until he fell.
rtnth Ankle Broken
Summeril was wounded. on October 3
during the bitter fighting ln'the Argonne
forest. Both ankle Joints suffered com
pound fractures from shell fire, .and he
was shot through the feet by machine
gun bullets. His legs are bound In the
heaviest of ppllnts.
"Thank God for the Tten Cross !" Sum
merll exclnlmed In relating his experi
ence after be was wounded. "Nearly all
of us who were wounded and came out
alive owe our recovery to tho quick, ef
ficient and generous aid of tho noble men
nnd women wearing the Bed Cross
uniform on tho other side.
"Tho Salvation Army and tho Knights
of Columbus also did much Tor us ln
another way, particularly the Salvation
Army, which sent its workers right up
to the front lino with the things we
needed most and at tho right time. And,
llko the Red Cross, they asked no pay
ror what they did merely tho right to
serve."
Summeril praised the conduct of the
men In the Seventy-eighth, Seventy
ninth, Eightieth, Thirty-seventh and
Forty-sixth Divisions, all of which, he
said, had won commendation from
American and Allied officers. of the high
command alike.
Reluctant as they are to poso as
heroes, the battle-scarred veterans have
been unable to escape the attentions of
big-hearted women, who have flocked
here from nearby towns and cities ainco
their arrival. The overseas, wards were
crowded with them during the vlsftlng
period. Many brought flowers, candy,
books and magazines. Nearly all of
them wero asking for news of relatives
and friends who Tiavo not yet been sen,t

A touching Incident took place In one
of the wards today, when, a strikingly
handsome, motherly-looking matron, who
has a son on the other aide, exclaimed:
"What splendid fellows these young
men are I My dear boys, you don't know
how grateful we women are to you. I

A hush fejl over the room for a mo

Reported by March

between 150,000 and 175,000 men. Gen
eral March said. To accomplish It will
use, In ndditlon to army transports and
converted cargo boats, enough old bat.
tleshlps and cruisers to furnish an ad
ditional carrying capacity for 25,000
men. Shipping experts expect to
transport 300,000 monthly when the de

nounced.

Of tho Sovcnty-ninth Division, Gen

when the armistice ended hostilities.
Details of Its operations have not been

No Report of MWtreatment
Reports rrom General Pershing show
that American soldiers captured by Ger
many are returning, to tho American
lines from day to day, General March
said, nnd the department has received no
report of mistreatment of them by the
enemy. Most of the men are entering
the lines of the American army of oc
cupation, since that army holds the front
line.
The disposition to be made of Gchnan

General March corrected an erroneous
