OF 79TH DIVISION Wfjor Evans, Back at Hav- erf ord Home, Holds Unit Unsurpassed CASUALTY LISTS HEAVY Describes Great Drive and Ac tion "When Thrown Into ., Hottest Verdun Section rhlladelphla soldiers returning from , France tell Ivta stories of the heroism of doughboys from this and other cities Major John Lewis Evans, of Haver fords, tells glowing tales of the deeds of soldiers of the Seventy-ninth Division, the first unit to be trained at Camp Meade and made up almost exclusively of Pennsylvania, Including most of the first draftees from Philadelphia. He declared tho Seventy-ninth DMslon has had more casualties among Its officers than possibly any other division unit. The division, he said, was thrown Into one of the worst sectors of the Verdun region and "started something" that the Germans aro still talking about. He aid: "I remember one day th.it one of our boys sighted a Hun. It looked Ilka n good shot to him, He wan Just about ready to flro when a French soldier siw him. seized him and dragited him back, wjth horror In his eyes. He boused the American not to 'start something.' ."We went 'over' sir days later. I re member from a post of observation see ing Montfaucon off In the distance and never suspected we would b thero a few days Inter That was the place were the Kaiser and Crow n Trlnce stood and observed the German drives at Hill 304. Away from Artillery "Starting on our flo-day drive on the 23th.. our procession on the first ilny was hardly Interfered with at all. That took us away from our artillery. There had been tremendous o-tlllery preparation. So manv guns had been nssembted al most literally hub to hub 75's and heavies. The firing started at 2 n, m., and gradually increased In olume until It was Impossible to hear yourself think, held. "Montfaucon was one of our objec tives tho first day. but we did not take It until the second. Transport was Im possible without new roads, and we couldn't stop to wait for new roads So we went ahead and cleaned out machine gun nests and German artillery and In fantry. 'That Is one of tho things that ex plains our heavy casualties. Nearly every major in the division was a cas ualty. I would not bo surprised If the 79th lost more officers than any other division. "The final sen ice of the 75th Pul sion Is along the Meuse, for about luo wjeeks. and there w:ib fierce fighting and heavy punishment We were exposed to fire on three sides That Is anoth er reason for the lnrge number of cas ualties. The American troops here were forging ahead and spreading out like the sticks of a fan. The space between had to be filled up with new divisions. , ' Fighting in Open "This fighting was not llko 'going over the top' of the trench warfare. We were now fighting In the open and al most entirely against machlnegun nests and artillery. The German machine gunners stuck to their guns. I hae yet to learn of one gun that did not have at least ono dead Hun along side. "It was mostly Indian fighting. The troops advance in lines, each man arils away from the next When anv one found a nest it was his own private job to get rid of it and he did it with his rifle, or with a hand or rifle grenade There was little bayonet fighting Hut our boys had to pay for their victories But I don't believe we could have done it any other waj It certalnlj wouldn't have been any better if we had pro tracted the thing for another jear Our boys were eager to get through with it and they preferred to play the game that way."

SLAIN BY CHANCE FRIEND Wealthy Eccentric Killed With An-j rient Sabre in Ilia Room New York, Jan. 20. Slain "bv a chance acquaintance whom he had tried to be friend, was the fate of Wlnfleld Phil how er, tho electrical Inventor and art collector found dead In his apartment Jn the Smithsonian, 148 Hast Thirtieth street. The basic cluo to this theory wns a bit of white pasteboard found by Cap tsln Carey In the old bachelor's apart ment. On the card was penciled tho ad dress of the recluse. Ho had evidently given It to ono of the many acquaint ances he was accustomed to pick up In Ida night wanderings and take to his apartments for a "stag" parts. It wrs believed by the pollen that the first blow that felled Phllhower was delivered with a hleh bronze vnse ns the weapon, that Phllhower tried to' ngnt back anil his assailant then snatched nn ancient saber, one of the many weapons hanging from the "walls, and delivered the finishing blow. Having killed the man who had In vited him to partake of his hospitality, the assassin seized a diamond ring which Phllhower wore. Ho then rifled his pockets of the roll of bills which the recluse Invariably carried, and fled.

THE CHESTNUT STREET ASSOCIATION JANUARY 20, 19UD FACED DEATH FOR SCIENCE Heroes of Navy Offered Them selves in Influenza Tests Washington, Jan. 20. Knowing the epidemic of influenza had caused thou sands of deaths, one hundred men of Iho United States Navy proved them selves real, heroes when they volun teered ns subjects for experiments on Influenza which Involved deliberate ex posure to Infection with thnt disease. Tho experiments were undertaken by medical officers of tho navy, co-operating with officers of the United States Public Health Service. Some of them were carried on In Boston, the others at San Francisco, They wero undertaken chiefly to establish the nature of tho germ of influenza, and to learn some thing about the way In which tho disease is generally spread. Among the striking experiments car ried on in Boston 30 men were subjected to Inoculation with secretions, both fil tered nnd unflltered, from tho upper respiratory passages of typical cases of Influenza, In tho active Btage of the disease. The material was Introduced Into tho nose nnd throats of the volun teers by means of sprays, swabs, pr both. Curiously, In no Instance was an attack of Influenza produced In any one of the subjects.
