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."
Mettnn Hark
Major Evans explained that the oper
atlon In whlt.li the Seventy-ninth Division
played a part was the ?nal one to breali

of the Oernvans, and It succeeded

so consequently I feel rather ghastly
today I don't exactly know whether
I vas n Ked or a Blur because I did
a deal of fighting on both sides, but
always with tho same results I was
killed Instantly and completely People
got sick of putting me out of my
misery after a while and I was ullowod
to wonder around nt largo, shooting
my blank bullets into tho face of

Most of the time I passed pleasantly
on the soft, fresh flank of a hill where
for a while I Mept until a cow breathed
heavily in my face and reminded me i
that It was war after all. My In
"tructlons vvcro to keep away from the
guns, ami get killed as soon as ponlble.
I carried them out to the letter. I
stnjed from the guns and permitted
myself to be killed several tlmei In

State legislators from districts outside
Philadelphia have been urged to take
no stnnd on the matter of charter rc'vl
slon for Philadelphia, "no matte how
Insidiously tho matter may be presented
to ou," until opportunity la given citi
zens of this city to exjiress their desires.
The request was made In a letter sent
to all State Senators and Itenresenta-
,tles outnldo the city by John C. Win
ston, chairman of the Philadelphia Char
, ter Committee.
In amplifying the statements In the
letter, made public today, Powell Kvnn.s,
Kccretury of the committee, pointed to
the Nobre trial as one of the out-
1 comes of "tho ivll of the political con-
I tractor system."
John M. Nobre, former city surveyor,
was acquitted Friday of charges ot
criminal libel preferred by State Sena
tor i;dw In H. Vnrc.
I Mr, Kvans pointed to the wrangle In
i Councils last Thursday over the placing
of a coal hole us an instanre showing the
"Incapacity and entire lack of dignity

"This committee's proposals. It enacted
Into law," continued Mr. I. vans, "will

It stands to reason that as a continuance
of our present governmental misrule here

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.
AnVKItTHI'MENT
Every now and then strangers in Philadelphia, who have settled
in outlying sections of the city, "discover" Chestnut Street and the
Chestnut Stteet Shops. Whenever this happens they are enthusiastic
over, and appreciative of, their find, and anxious for their fellow
voyagers, lost in the wilderness of this large metropolis, to understand
that in these shops there are better values to be had than in other
vicinities, and that it is cheaper and more economical to purchase hero
than elsewhere. This has been the experience of many who havo
written letters of thanks for the suggestions made in the columns of
seen in tnc uncstnut street Shops."

the upper floor of A. Pomerantz &

of work done on those two floors.
They are thoroughly equipped for all
classes of binding and commercial
"rinting, such as booklets, billheads,

Royal Anne cherries are allowed to
