Cupt. Nicodcmus Says Action I
Has Been Continuous
Since July
"Harrisburg boys have been fight

devilishly hard ever since the storm

July." So said Captain E. A. Nico-I
demus, recently returned from
France where he was in the Quar-j
termaster's Department with the
Twenty-eighth Division, familiarly
known as the Keystone Division, at
the Pennsylvania Railroad station
yesterday before leaving for Wash

Captain Nicodemus has been de
tached from his former unit and this
morning he went to Washington to
report Jo the Quartermaster General
for assignment to some divisional
quartermaster's staff. He has no in
timation as to wliat unit or to what
camp or cantonment he will be as
signed.
Captain Nicodemus, a physician of

in the military service within one|

by a German submarine.
"Most of the Harrisburg boys are
in the llltli and 112 th Regiments
of Infantry, making up the Fifty

tain Nicodemus says, "has not seen
as much front line service as nave
the men of the Fifty-fifth Brigade,
including the 109 th and 110 th Regi

work they have been performing is
any the less important and requires
