J9TH DIVISION BOYS

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."

General Staff, and Others
! From City Reach U. S.
Many Philadelphia soldiers have ar
rived nt New York from overseas dur
ing the last twenty-four hours.
Lieutenant Colonel Jackson W.
Study, formerly associated with the
Pennsylvania railroad, with offices in
the Itpoad Street Station, arrived
on tlio I'resnlent Grant. For the
ferrcd to 4he .".(list Tank Corps, camou
flage section. For four months lie trained
in England and was then assigned to
the English sector between Cainlirni
and Chateau Thierry. 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. He is now
out of service. Wisher has been in the I
prize-fighting game since he was fifteen
j ears old. He was known as "Monte

The Symbol of Atlantic Service
Along the road, you pass the familiar Atlantic tank-truck. Daily, this power
house rations the garages and service-stations with Atlantic Gasoline.
For, there must be a plentiful supply of Atlantic Rawer on tap for the thou
sands of drivers of trucks and passenger-cars who insist on having this particular
motor-fuel in preference to all others.
By means of these tank-trucks, Atlantic Gasoline flows in an unending stream
from the big refineries to the distributing points and service stations along the line.
You never have to accept a substitute for Atlantic. There is always enough
of the genuine for your needs, whether you have one truck, a fleet of trucks, or
an assortment of passenger-cars.
The Atlantic Refining Company has set a standard of service to truck-users
and motorists generally. Its own service-stations are designed to help out in the big
job of supplying this popular motor-fuel tolhose who will not accept counterfeits.
Always buy Atlantic Gasoline by name.

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. Because of its present
size and efficiency, Swift & Company is able
to perform its part in this service at a fraction
of a cent per pound profit.
