14 PRESS CLAIM FOR NEW ARAB STATE 'Sons of Monarch Seek to Establish Nation at Peace Conference . Paris, Jan. 22.—-Prince Felsal, son ;'bfthe King of Hedjaz, whom he rep ; resents at the Peace Conference, is (pressing his claims for the recogni tion of the Arab state of Hedjaz. "Tho Arabs have long enough suffered under foreign domination," he said to The Associated Press to day. "Tho hour has at last struck when we are to come into our own again. "We have, I believe, an even greater right to become free and independent than any of the new states to be formed through tho war, since wo are the oldest democracy in the world. "The country is inhabited almost exclusively by a homogeneous set of Arabs, all descending from a common stock, while the foreign | element is infinitesimal, certainly * smaller than in any other country j I know of. There are only about two thousand Turkish officials and no Turkish population in a land con taining three and one-half million Arabs. Why then should not the Arabs rule the country where they live and have lived for countless generations? Why should we not be masters in our own house?" Defeated Turks "As a small struggling nation we have already done much," said the prince. "King Hussein, my father, commonly called 'the grand old man of the east.' declared war against Turkey when she was at the height of her military glory, and invited volunteers to his standard. Soon quite a considerable army collected, which under my personal leadership, inflicted on the Turks a series of defeats culminating in taking of Medina. "The two usual objections made to our ambitions." continued the prince, are: 'Have your people reached a high enough standard of civilization to govern themselves?' And 'will you have enough money to carry on your state?' "To the first I unhesitatingly say IJL -in erfirvrirc I utunDAFT •lee PMthla'depreMios!

Reported Dead in France, Returns Home to Find Wife Married Again Allentown Soldier Will Not Disturb Wife Who Tpok Second Husband; "She's a Mighty Fine Girl," He Says Allentown, Pa., Jan. 22. —To come home from France after having been reported dead, and to find his wife married to another man, is the experience of Miles C. Itoth, a cited hero of the Pennsylvania Division. Private Roth, is as far as known here, the first Pcnnsplvania ,Enoch Arden of the great .world war, and his romance even surpasses that of the hero of Tennyson's poem. Lord Tennyson left the innocent wife in happy possession of her sec ond husband. In this case the sec ond spouse followed the first as a crusader In France against the Hun. Also, there are two children. A short time after the second bat tle of the Marno, news trickled back that a number of Allentown soldiers had been killed and wounded. Among those reported killed was Miles Roth, a Lehigh county boy, with a record of fifteen years in the National Guard as a soldier of Com pany D, old Fourth Pennsylvania Infantry. In private life he was chef at the Hotel Allen, and as a guards man at Mount Gretna and on the Mexican border he was popular be cause he supervised the mess of his command and was a master of the culinary art. Came Near Death The first news from across the sea 1 was that he had been gassed and while unconscious blown to pieces by a high explosive. It turns out that on July 22 last, after he had moved the kitchen out fit of the 108 th Machine Gun Bat talion close up to the lighting and was furnishing food to tho fighters and assisting tho wounded, a Ger man shell exploded within ten feet of him. Four men were killed and it was thought Private Roth was also among the slain. Tho rescue squad that came along some hours later discovered he was not dead, and he was taken back to a hospital. There it was found that, although not dead, few men had ever been closer to extinction. Tho force of the Hun shell had dislocated both ankle joints, both knee joints and both elbow joints, besides knocking out his teeth and inflicting some other injuries. In ad dition he suffered from the effects of gas. The reducing of the dislocated joints was easy work for the sur geons, but even now he walks stiffly and ho has not entirely recovered from tho shell shock and gassing, but he was pretty lively for a soldier reported dead when he returned to Allentpwn last Saturday morning Snatched From Death as Flames Lick Marts Feet Shoes and Stockings Burned From Adam Ham me When Discovered York. Jan. 22. —Adam Hamme, C 8 years old, is improving from serious burns in the York hospital, having been dragged from his burning home Saturday night as the flames licked his feet and head as he lay asleep in his bed. Hamme, when discovered by Fire man Jack Wilkinson was fully dressed, with the exception of shoes and stockings which had been burn ed from his feet. 79TH TROOPS I BEAT HUN'S BEST Heavy Casualties Laid to Fact That Supporting Artillery Was Out of Range Philadelphia.—Major John Dcwis Evans, of Haverford, who returned from France last week and was dis charged at Camp Dix a few days ago, tells of the punishment sus tained by the 79th Division in the I last few weeks of fighting in the I v/ar. The 79th Division was prin-1 cipally made up of drafted men from Pennsylvania. Ho told of how the 79th Division was sneered at after its first five days in actual lighting because the division did not attain all its objec tives. "But the division that suc ceeded us," Major Evans said, "did not gain a foot of ground and when that got around there was a differ- ] ent attitude toward the 79th." And j after that the 79 th went in along; the Meuse and "showed them." 111U 1501 Occupied "The 79th went into a historic sector at Verdun a few days before the big drive of September 26. Wc occupied Hill 304, famous as the scene of fighting during the great German drives at Verdun. But the sector had been quiet for a long time and there was a sort of gentle men's agreement between the Ger mans and the French that resulted in ho firing at all. It was extremely veaceful when we took hold. "I remember one day that one of our boys sighted a Hun and it looked like a good shot to him. He had his rifle hunched up to his snoulder and was just about ready to fire when a French soldier saw him, seized him and dragged him back with horror in his eyes. He begged the American not to 'start some thing,' using whatever French equivalent there is for that expres sion. "When we started our five-day drive our procession on the first day was hardly interfered with at all. And that took us away from our ar tillery. There had been a. tremen dous "artillery preparation. So many guns had been assembled that they were almost literally hub to hub— 75's and heavies. The firing started at 2 A. M. and gradually increased lr. volume until it was impossible to hear yourself think. "Montfaucon was one of our ob jectives the first day, but we did not take it until the second. And then we went on, without artillery. That country has been so fought over that transport was impossible without new roads, and we couldn't stop to wait for new roads. So we went ahead and cleaned out machine gun and received the congratulations of his friends. He stated he had been picked up for dead, but it would take more than one Boche shell to put him underground in France. That night his brother Harry, who has a big l'arm in Salisbury, camo to town to greet him. "Gee," Miles," said Brother Harry, "I'm awfully glad to see you, hut do you know where your wife Is?" "I supposed she was \yith the folks on tho farm," was the answer of the wounded soldier, invalided home, "and I'm going out to-morrow to see them." "She's Married Again" "You're, wrong," Said the brother, "we heard you were dead and she's married again." • And here is how it happened: Several months after the report that her soldier husband had been killed in France, Mrs. Miles Roth, who be fore her marriage was Caroline Agnes Weinstein, was again led to the altar by William George Smith, also a soldier, who sailed for France less than a month before the sign ing of the armistice, and is still over seas. As the wife of Private Smith, with the two children, she now liv ing at Fullerton, in Chapel Road, less than two miles from her old home in Allentown, where she re sided as Mrs. Smith. "She's a mighty fine girl," Private Roth declared, "and with me dead, as I was reported, I don't wonder that some other man WHS attracted by her. I alwaps loved her, and in this mix-up I'm not the one to start any trouble. Sure, we were married asf any Christian couple ought to be. But if she thought I was dead, as a lot of others thought, why should I majte d fuss about it or make trou ble for hp? I hope the kids are all right. For the present, I'm going back to the Greenliut Hospital, in New York, from which they gave me only a short leave." Wife Makes No Denial The wife, who had thought her self a widow, does not deny or at tempt to excuse the situation. She w.>. perfectly calm when seen in her lew home at Fullerton, where she lives alone with the children, since lier second husband also went to France. • 'I heard Miles had been killed, and went into mourning for him," she said. "Nobody said anything when I later began to keep com pany with my second husband, who is also a good man and did not hesi tate to join the army when the time came, as did my first and supposed ly dead husband.'.' When it was found that Hamme | was inside the burning home, Wil kinson made a dash through the flames and upstairs to the bed room. Hamme was already unconscious. He was carried from the second story down a ladder by the firemen. He was the only person in the house at the time of the blaze. Just what caused the fire is unknown up un til this time. • nests and German artillery and in fantry while our artillery was far behind, out of range. Many Officers Ix>st "That is one of the things that ex plains our heavy casualties. Nearly every major in the division was a casualty and 1 would not be sur prised if the 79th lost more officers than any other division. "The fact is that a much more determined resistance from the Ger mans met our advance than the American military authorities had anticipated. At any rate we came out after five days and went into a 'quiet' sector at Troyon, south of Verdun. There was considerable firing there and some raids oc curred, but there was nothing to speak of. The final period of service of the 79th Division was along the Mouse, toward the end of October and con tinuing until .the armistice, for about two weeks of fierce lighting and heavy punishment. This light ing was not like the 'Going over the top' of the trench warfare. Condi tions had changed and we were lighting in the open and we fought almost entirely against machine gun nests and artillery. The German machine gunners stuck by their guns. I have yet to learn of a captured German gun that did not have at least one dead Hun along side of it. "It was mostly Indian fighting, the troops advance in lines, each man yards away from the next and when he found a nest it was his own private job to get rid of it and he did it with his rifle, or with a hand or rifle grenade. There was little bayonet lighting, if any. "But it was punishing work and our boys had to pay for their vic tories. But I don't believe we could have done it any other way. It cer tainly wouldn't have been any better if we had protracted the thing for another year. Our boys were eager to get through with it; to finish it, and they preferred to play the game that way." Kamcrnd on Big Scale Major Evans explained that the operation in which the 79th Division played a part was the final one to break one of the two lines of com munications of the Germans, and it succeeded. "I believe the Allies would have captured half the German aj-my if the war had gone another month," he said, "and that explains the ar- Tnlstlce terms accepted from Marshal Koch by the Germans. "The boche is a poor lighter when he is beaten and ho quit like a whipped' cur as soon as he was no longer flghtin# a victorious fight. He just kameraded on a largo scale. "The 79th Division of National Army men fought the best in the German army, and the American toys won. There were defects and things that went wrong, but the individual American soldier was a fine one. Officers ceuld have been better. It takes more time to make a good officer."

This bureau now has about 500 agents who could be assigned to liquor violation detection, including 300 now engaged partly in running down illicit liquor distillers.
