to wear off today, and although the

conducting the sale of novelties were
kept busy disposing of their wares, the

Entirely oblivious to the commotion

The Seventy-ninth Division wns
trained nt Camp Meade, Md., nnd is
commanded by JInjor General Joseph K
Kuhu. It is made up of selected men
from Pennsylvania, the District of
Columbia, West Virginia nnd New
York.
In July, iniS. the division went to
France. After its arrival about two
months were spent in n (mining urea
uear llijon. nnd the movement to the
staging nren and the front begun the
first week in September.
On September 14 the division took
morning of September l!(i when the grent
rgonnc offensive wns launched. Mal-
nncourt wns raptured on that day and
on the following day the German strong
hold. Montfnucon, whi.ch hud proved

was taken. The offensive continuer! to i
n point bej nnd Nnntieilla nnd the total
gain was nine and n hnlf,kilonieters.
from this seetnr the diiivinn moved
to the Trojon sector, near St. Mihiel.
No offensive wns launched while the di
vision occupied these lines. Scouting
parties were frequently sent out, how
eier. nnd cnsunlties resulted from shell
fire and gas.
On October "JS the division moved
into the lines northenst of Verdun on
what is known us the Grand Montnglc
sector. It attacked on No ember ",
on which day the Argonne offensive was
extended east of the Meuse river.
On November I! (lie division took the
Borne de Cornouillcr. or Hill '.'S, which
had been regarded by experts ns almost
impregnnblc. It continued to advance
until the morning of November II. On
this day it occupied n line extending
from the Cote de Mornimont. bejond
the riier Thinte. southeastward to Ville
de Vnnt Chniimnut. The totnl divisional
advance on this diic was ten kilo
meters. The division insignia i- n grnj Lor

blem wns adopted because it has come
to be regarded in Lorraine ns a symbol
of ietory. In all its war operations the
Seventy-ninth Division fared the enemy
in Lorraine, the province which the
United States was pledged to win hack
for France, "it was onlj appropriate,
therefore thnt the division should select
ns its emblem the ancient symbol ot vic

men must decide.
"I am for the parade." snid General
Kuhn to the Major after they had
exchanged greetings on the Hobokeu
pier, where the transport Kroonlnud
docked, "hut the mutter is not one
which I nm at liberty to decide. The
men themselves must be consulted, as i
well ns the AVnr Department. The

can be done them."

has announced, however, (hat Thursday
would suit him better.
Meanwhile the welcome home com
mittee is rushing plnns for the recep
tion aud review.
Only the Philadelphia drafted troops
and the men from eastern PeniiHjlvanin
will march, if plans go through. They
will be sent to Camp Dix und, while
awaiting their discharge, will be brought
here for the parade. Troops from the
western part of the state will be scut
to Camp Sherman, Chillieothe, O., Im
mediately upon their arrhal, nnd they
will parade in Pittsburgh.
Sentiment among the men of the
Seventy -nintli Division, who returned to
this countrj 11s casuals, and who saw
the Iron Division parade, is overwhelm
ing in favor of the parade.
The line of march is expected to be
shorter than that of tho Twenty-eighth
Division men. but the main streets,
f,vf Ttr.,,l Chestnut and the Park
way, will be traversed bv the doughboy.
The number of men in the parade Is also
expected to be less than that of the
Iron Division, but every man in the line
of march will be from this city or from
the immediate vicinity.

The men. it is expected, will march
without their army rifles, which will be
discarded at the points of debarkation

will have their place in the parade, nnd
the bands, which were notlcenble by
their absence in the Twenty-eighth Di

week, the parade in no way will hinder
their earnest possime enscnarge.
The word announcing the Governor's
choice of a date for tho parade was
brought to the welcome home com
mittee yesterday by Adjutant Gen

exnrrssed the desire that next Thursday
he chosen, as his duties at Ilarrlsburg
will require his presence thero during

Among the loenl and nearny regimen

units. The 304th aud 303th Ammuni

"I Was Only Kidding," Says
"Bad Man" to Magistrate
at Hearing
HELD FOR, CARRYING GUN
: ; 1
"flive mc a drink nnd a cigar."
This request, made by a wcll-drcsseil
stranger who drew a long, a shiny re
volver to insure speedy action, startled
Stephen Cunnlnghnm ns he stood be
hind the bar of his saloon at Twenty
second nnd Vine streets, today.
With the murders committed by other
hold-up men still fresh in his mind,
Mr. Cunningham decided to obey with
out argument. Still covering Cunning
ham with tlie revolver, the caller swal
lowed the drink with a quick one-arm
movement, stuck tlie cigar in his
mouth and lighted it.
"Now have one yourself," he said,
as he watched the smoke rings encircle
the hend of the bartender.
With the revolver still poked uncom
fortably close to his nose, Mr. Cun
nlnghnm obeyed. The stranger then
backed out of the room nnd, on reach
ing the door, said: "This is a new way
of getting n drink in Philadelphia."
Ou reaching the street the man broke
into a run. Mr. Cunningham saw Pa
trolmen O'llara and Callahan nearby,
nnd, pointing to the fleeing stranger,
said: "fJet him. I'll explain later. The
man was caught after a chase of sev
eral squares. He showed no resist
ance. "I was only kidding," was his ex
planation when brought before Mag
istrate lieaton at the Twentieth nnd
Buttonwood streets stntion.
The prisoner said he wns Henry Er
sey, of Twenty-fifth and Dover streets,
and also declared that he was a spe
cial policeman for the Pennsylvania
Kallroad. He had cards to bear this
out and investigation showed that his
statement wns true. A blackjack and
unloaded revolver was found in his
pockets.
"If you were only Kiutling tnc joue
is on you," said the magistrate, "and
I will' hold you in $.100 ball on the
charge of carrying deadly weapons."
DONATION DAY
Friday, May 30, 1919
To Our Fellow-CttUena:
The extraordinary demands mada upon tb
Jtwlah Hospital during tho past year compel
us to again appaal to the liberality ot It
friends and well-wishers for substantial as
sistance. Over three thousand patients, of whom
about one-half wore absolutely free, received
treatment In the various departments dur
ing tho year.
Its beds have been at all times
tilled wltn the slrk and suHerlmr of
all creeds, color and nativity, and as a.
result of the policy uf aiding; all those whs
apply for assistance our treasury ts not
only depleted, but very largely overdrawn.
Vo therefore earnestly appeal to thosa who
recognize the usefulness of the hospital to
aid it at this time. In the confident assur
ance that the generosity of Its benefactors
will be fully justified by the results.
The Board of Officers tendered to tha
President of the United Btatca the frea
use of all departments of the Hospital for
the soldiers and sailors of the Army nnd
Navy durlne the war. and It has been used
for various purposes connected with it: and
our facilities were used to their full capacity
during tha Influenza epidemic of October
last.
