't" Pflnnsylvania and Maryland Solectlvos Marching Through France to Sail in Juiv Seventy-ninth Division boys nre homeward bound. They nre mnrchlnc through northern ipVanco toward the Atlantic coast, where ships nre waiting to brine them ,home. The division is niado up of - Pennsylvania and Maryland selective Tvno trained at Camp Meade. In the last issue of the Lorraine ! Cross, the Seventy-ninth's own publica tion, nil the hopes and plans of the . boys were nlred from many angles. Optimism reigned in I ho division as far back as a month ago when the ,mcn started to inarch in n southerly direction from Souilly. A copy of the Lorraine Cross hns just been re ceived from Corporal William F. Kunz. 3749 North Marshall street, who is among thn many Philadelphia!! in the Seventy-ninth. He is attached to Company I, 315th Tnfnntry. Writing from Itimaucourt. Kunz says': "The Seventy-ninth Iivi-in has just completed n big nimemrnt. Iiaviiu; hiked from So 1 1 i 1 1 . tlie fnrntcr liillct ing area, to the Audi'lnt nrcn Tin distance of the ) t K uns approximate!) ixtyto mill". The inovi'inent a slow as the comfort of the men wn the first consideration. "The hike wa totally unlike those of war days. There were hot meals ach day ami fairly comfortable quar ters each night. The regiment is now comfortably settled where the sun Is morn generous with its rays. The ground is not muddy, and for the first time sinco we struck France, we have running water and electric lights. All the men arc in good spirit, knowing that the time is fust approaching for Jhelr return home." In conclusion Corporal Kunz hints that the men will start home early in lunc. or possibly before that. How the SHcnt -ninth Pivi-inn made good in the little things as well B8 itho big is told in an editorial which appears in the April 1(1 copy of "The Lorraine Cross." "The Seventy-ninth in the mutter of efficiency spirit stands with the he-t 111 the A. K. 1'.," says the editorial. "Our fighting record is excellent and wc played a big part in the hist month of the war, in convincing the linn he was licked bcond an iii".tion. In nil departments there has been the biggest sort of development since thove days of long ago when the tii-st of us turned up at Camp Meade, little know ing what the future ncld. "From the start this division forged steadily ahead anil thank (od. did not disappoint those who sent its nllicers nnd men forward to take, first Mont faucon, and then Hill .'!". They were the big things the high spots, ns it were and wc made good. "In the little things it's just the same. Though the lighting i over and liome comes ever nearer, there has been r-n let up in the excellent work of every body. The daily training schedules art carried through with pep and snap; all the towns we've ever occupied have been cleaned up like new: our trans portation is a joy to look at and neat ness and precision are general in all outfits. Our record of the fighting ila.vs and of those dajs following them is wonderful. Keep it up. "It means something to he a Seventy ninth innn." RING FIGHTER PROVED O. K .

Throughout the war this portion of the llindriiherg line hnd held and it wasn't until the nil Hi of September, after the Americans nnd French had broken through. Hint this sector finally achieved its desire. Orders were given them to be ready nt 1 :30 in the morning, and thus by , -moonlight forty-eight tanks "kicked off." Thev had fi.'OO yards to gain i and they accomplished their task, but only live tanks were intact at the end. though several more were salvaged later. Private Wisher's tank was bit squarely, nnd of its crew, ten men mid an officer, onlv two escaped: Wihci and another private, lioth knew u little something about machine guns and thev advanced with the infantry, attempting to use machine guns as thev advanced When these were smashed by Oeriniin bullets, they called into play rifles and even pistols. From one line of trenches. Private Wisher led n detachment of twenty i men "on his own" when their officers were compelled to stay behind. lining a "tanker" gave him prestige. One brave officer of his. Captain Varnev. a former Klondike miner, remarked to Wisher. "I understand jou're a tough man " I "Is t lint so? Well, follow- me. nnd I'll I see how tough jou are." Klondike (inld "I followed hitn. though not ver.v closely," says Wisher. "He was killed nt the head of his troops. They found his body, hut never his head. He was' a real man, not a sthklcr for form, but a born tighter." Another officer fur whom Private Wisher entrant sn.v enough is Major Italph Sasse, who n'i teceived a DN tinguisliril Service Medal. All of the officers of the corps insisted on going over the top themselves, orders or no orders. For their bravery here at Pony, the entire remnant of the corps were given two citations by the Itrit i-li. who couldn't say enough for their spirit. The citations consisted of a tank in signia on the arm and a jellow and red ribbon on the shoulder. The ".01st wa the only American tank corps so honored. From the engagement on September , J!1 up to the time of the armistice. Wisher was almost uninterruptedly on the front line. Ill February he received his D. S. C. and arrived home in March.

J,iSaaaaaaaaaaaM -! a 'H p " f-' M The Flow of Meat Two-thirds of the live stock in the United States has to be raised in theWest. One-half of the consumers of meat live in , the East. In. other words, most of the live stock is one or two thousand miles distant from most of the people who need it in the form of food. Fifty years ago, when live stock was raised close to every consuming center, the country butcher could handle the job after a fashion. But the job get too big. Now millions of animals have to be moved hundreds of miles to millions of people. Some where on the way they have to be turned into meat. The packers solved the problem. They set up plants where the "live haul" and the "meat haul" were in the right balance. They eliminated waste. They built up distributing systems refrigerator cars, refrigerating plants, branch houses. They saved time, money and meat everywhere. The stockraiser benefited in better markets and higher prices; the con sumer, in better meat and lower prices. As the country grew, the packers had to grow, or break down.
