CAPT. GEARHART BACK

Captain Kobort II. Grarluirt. .Jr.. for
merly pntor of the firace Lutheran
Church-, Thirty-fifth nml Rprlns Onnlen
strfftd. has returned from fourteen
months' service in France, where he
directed the grave registration work
Captain Oearhart expects, to receive hi
discharge from the arm? within two
ivceks' time, when he will resume Jtii
duties nt his church.
Captain (Jenrhart firl served with the
aofith Machine Out! Itattalinn as chap
lain as a first lieutenant. Later he
was appointed n captain and mnde
senior chaplain of the Seventy. eighth
Division. Then he became senior Hinp
lain of the Second Army and was finally
appointed to take chnrge of the regis
tration work in France.
Captnin Oearhart. while serving with
the Seventy-eighth Division, completed
the , records and located the graves of
every man in the division who had given
up his life, with the exception of two.
For this he received n personal citation
from Oeneral Pershing, and his success
in this line of work led to-his appoint

beautiful Captain Oearhart has ever
seen, he said today, and he voiced the
opinion that it would be foolish to try
to bring the bodies to this countrj.
Where Heroes Are Hurled
The 22,000 men who 'lost their lives
on the Argonnc are buried at Romegne
Sous Motifncon. The heroes of St.
Seventeen automobiles, valued origi
nally approximately at MO.OOO. have
been rCCOVCrer! I,i' ll, .tntontl,... Imenm.

I I'uder an act of the stale I.egMn-
Jk jyiilelt became effective .Inly 1.
the police are empowered to -onficate
any automobile found with n mutilated
number plate, or which shotfs anv evi
dence of having been tampered with for
tne purpose or changing original ap
pearance. The same act increased the
penalty for nut Mealing to a maximum
"' ten years' imprisonment tnd MOUO
fine, nr both.
Four of the seventeen cars recovered
this week have been returned to their
owners, mid. with the exception nf'one.
the police have established the owner
ship of the remaining thirteen.
A roadster, the property of Dr. Mar
garet Dunnlugtott, of the Heal Estate
Trust llulldlng. is ninong the cars. The
machine wbb recovered when members
of the "nuln sipind" raided the privnle
garage of lleiijaniin I'ogel, on Salford
street near ' Callowhill. Eight earn
were seized in this raid.
The garage excited the suspicions of
persons in the neighborhood, nnd the;
Informed the police. Detectives Hock
tnnn nnd Freund forced nu entrance
one night last week and discovered the
eight cars. The numbers on eery ma
chine bad been filed off, they reported,
and four of the cars hail been repainted.
Warrants have been issued for Fogel
land others, who, the police saj , arc
not in the city.
On the uight of November I'.O. IMS.
the garage of Dr. Julius Schuenn. nt
2117 North Seventeenth street, was
forced open and a roadster was stolen.
Yesterday afternoon detectives lteck
inan and Preund noticed a repainted cat
standing at Twelfth anil I'llnert strrrls.
It is the practice of the "auto squad"
to investigate all repainted machines,
and an examination of this car prutei
that it was the propert of Doctor
Sclieerin.
.tnhn Diinsninre. a fonner automobile
agent, was arrested in connection with
the case.
Automobile thieves, the police s-av.
never attempt to sell a stolen machine
without first changing the engine num
bers, the license tags and sometimes j
repainting the car and changing the
wheels. A short time ago three unto
thieves were sentenced to jail for limi;
terms. They could change the numbers
nnd appearance of n car in fifteen
minutes so that the owner could not i
recognize it.

rturled in Trenches
Kvery body was searched, he snid to
day, adding that some of them were
recovered only after they had been ex
posed to the sun nnd rain for from six
to seven weeks. Everything personal
taken from the bodies of the dead sol
diers was sent to their' relatives. It
was impossible to dig single grnves for
every American who was killed, he
said, in explaining that the majority
of them were buried in trenches.
Coffins for every man were also out
of the question. The dead were wrap
ped in blankets and buried with reli
gious services in the creed of the various
men if it was possible. Crosses were
placed over the graves of every man.
with the exception of the Jews. The
graves of the tatter are marked with
si aba.
According to Captain Oearhart, the
Oermans gave the American dead decent
burial and were as considerate of thr
bodies as the American registration
workers were. American engineers'
have made blueprints of the vctrious
cemeteries nnd have established the
exact location of the grave" of every
soldier who was identified,
Captain Oearhart toTil of one in
stance, howevrr. ..'xben the Germans
wer not considerate. He was conduct
ing a buriaV-phrty to the cemetery, he
'aid, v4nti'n German nvlator Hew over
the.nr and took a photograph. Later
'tlVey were bombed, he said, but .for
tunately no one was killed.
On one occasion Captain Gchxhart
narrowly escaped death when a nine
inch shell exploded within four feet of
him.
The cemeteries in which the Ameri
cans are buried in France are the most
German nriny headquarters in Sep
tember of 1018. Ilobey linker, the la- i
mous I'rinceton football and hockey
plnycr, is buried at St. Mihicl. as is
Major I.cesburg, who was one of Amerl-,
cits lending aces. , total oi .iiiiii
Americans nrc buried at Heaumont.
Many of these men were victims of the
influenza epidemic in France. i
Captnin Oearhart enlisted in Janu
ary, 11118, and nfter work nt Cninp Dix,
sailed for France in May, 1018. He re-
turned to this country on Saturday (
night, and spent Sunday at his home,
in this city. He went to Cnmp Dlx
Monday and returned here last night.
Captain Genrhnrt is thirty-four years
old. Had lie not enlisted lie would have

Just think of Southern pippins
the finest flavored, juiciest
apples that grow.
Then think of eider pressed
from these pippins. Then think
of this eider so delightfully car
bonated that it fizzes and sparkles
and bubbles in your glass.
That's O-Apple-O.
But it tastes' even better than
it sounds. It has a flavor that
reminds you of cool, shady
orchards and the old cider mill.
You can get O-Apple-0 where
ever good things to eat or drink
are sold. At soda fountains,
restaurants and clubs. And
there's nothing better for the
home irJe box. The whole family
will like it.
Your grocer or druggist will
be- glad to supply O-Apple-0 by
the case.
