4 RECORD MADE ON BA TTLEFIELD BY PENNSYLVANIA DIVISIONS WAS BEST IN AMERICAN ARM Y 79th Suffered Great Losses in Final Days of War As more detailed Information Is gathered about the bravery and fear lessness of the American troops in action, honors are ever increasing for the heroes from Pennsylvania and the part they played in crushing the Hun in France. A review of the casualties reveals that the Seventy ninth Division, composed of selective service men from Eastern Pennsyl vania and Maryland, many of them from Dauphin county and other nearby districts, lost more men be tween September 26 and the end of the war than any other division of the American Army. The Twenty-eighth, the Keystone Division, of course had more casual ties than the Seventy-ninth, but it was engaged for a much greater period of time. Only the first reg ular division suffered more than the old National Guard. Ten other American divisions have it larger total of major casualties than the Seventy-ninth, but these ten were lighting In France long before the boys from Camp Meade went into Backache Is Discouraging But Not So Bad If Yon Know How to Reach the Cause Nothing more discouraging than a constant backache.

The Seventy-ninth, records show, went into action September 26, in the morning, but It lost 2.359 i men. In connection with the losses of the Seventy-ninth division, the work of the Three Huhdred and Sixteenth Infantry Regiment, composed al most entirely of men from Dauphin county and nearby districts, who an swered the first selective call, stands out prominently. The unit had ma jor casualties totaling 800, the high est for any National Army Regiment. The losses were only 342 less than those of the One Hundred and Tenth Regiment of the Twenty-eighth Di vision, the unit which has the rec ord for losing more men than any other regiment in the army. The other ten divisions which ex ceeded the 79th in losses and the dat,es they first went into action show how terrible the losses of the 79th must have been in the drive on Alontmaucon and northeast of' Ver dun to reach a total so high. Those divisions are: First, 6,248, in action May 28. Third, 3.617, in action June 1. Second, 2.965, in action June 16. Twenty-eighth, 3,890, in action July 15. Forty-second, 2,950, in action July 15.

The 77th Division—the only Na tional Army Division to have greater losses than the 79th—only exceeded the latter by about 300 losses, al though it fought desperately at the J n August, long before the great September offensive. Likewise, the 6th Division, which lost but 115 more men than the 79th partcpated in the reduction of the at. Mihiel salient before going to the Argonne.

Summarized, the results are these: Twenty-eighth Division, days of "khting, fifty; total major losses, 8,- Seventy-ninth Division, days of fifteen; total major losses, 2,889. The comparison Is not to detract from the magnificent work of the -Sth or any other division, but merely to demonstrate what two brief offensives cost the selective service men from eastern Pennsyl vania and Maryland. The 316 th Infantry, General March as .having lost 800 men. was badly cut up north of Montfaucon between September 2 8 and October 1, and lost heavily again on November 7 when it took the Bols de Corneuillers northeast of Verdun. Sad Distinction The 79th holds another sad dis tinction. a distinction shared by the 28th. These two Pennsylvania divi sions and the fighting First were the only divisions to have more than 1.000 men missing. While the First Division led in this respect, the 28th and _79th followed close behind with 1,175 and 1,142, respectively. The 28th Division holds numerous records. It lost more men prisoners than any other division, with a total of 691. Two of its infantry regiments (the 109 th and 110 th. had the greatest ! casualties in the entire army. Its to j tal major losses exceeded those of any National Guard Army division | and were only exceeded by the First [ Division's losses. It stood fourth in the total number of men killed with 1544, being led by the 3d, 42d (Rain bow) and 32 (Michigan and Wiscon sin National Guards) in that respect The catastrophe at the Marae on July 15 accounts for the iianner in which the division exceeft in total losses, tn men mlrfslng and In pris oners. Four companies, two from the 109 th and two from the 116 th. were literally cut to pieces by the Ger mans on July 15. There were Just about enough survivors from all four companies to form a single unit of 250 men when the action ended. This disaster also aooounts for the pre ponderant losses of the two regi ments, the 110 th, with 1142, and the 109 th with 1112. The bulk of the losses In the 210 th were sustained in four engagements , —July 15 when two companies were almost wiped out; July 80, when the regiment took the Grimpette woods along the Aurcq; In August. North of the Veale, and In late September, In the attack on Apremont. The losses of the 109 th were gar nered on July 15 south of the Marne: ■ln August north of the Vesle, and late In September, In the attack on Apremont The losses of the 109 th were gar nered on July 15 south of the Marne; In August north of Flsmette: In early September, south of the Alsne, and in late September, on the Argonne front at Apremont The 109 th Infantry Is composed of the old First Regiment, N.

Such of the Amer ican delegates as will discuss the situation say they are disposed to resist this development of the plan for mandatoles, holding that It Is the business of Europe to look af ter the Europeans and the people of the near east. The argument used by the othel powers In support of their desire that the United States assume Dime of the obligations to care for the welfare of backward peoples af fected by the peace settlement and assist In their advancement to a higher state of civilization is based upon the unlimited confidence of other governments and because It is known that the United States has no territorial aspirations.

The camp we were put in was rather a large affair. At least, there a large number of which meant a roof over our heads, and we had a stove too. That helped a lot, both for warmth and cooking—if one had anything to cook. I didn't and what was worse, my bread was all and al though we had been led to expect something to eat when we arrived at this camp, nothing materialized. For a day and a half no bread was given us, and all we had to exist on was soup once a day, and a cup of acorn coffee night and morning. One did not grow fat on this diet, you can bet, but kicking about it did not seem to help any, so all we could do was wait and suffer. Escape seemed to be out of the question, for not only was it well guarded by bobwire entanglements and fences and guards, but the camp was placed bang up against a fort Very kind and thoughtful of the Boche indeed, for naturally, the allied planes came over to bomb and they came every clear night, too. From both observation and heresay, I know it is rather hard to direct a heavy bomb from a fast traveling airplane to the exact spot one wishes to hit, so you see the position we were placed in. When it came to Gotha raids Paris had nothing on us, the only difference being that they had cave cellars and we did not All we could do was stick in the barracks and hope no bombs came our way. Fortunately, during my short stay, none did. This camp had more conveniences than the other camps I had been in. One could even get a warm bath if he didn't mind doing it in an open shed, for a big kettle of hot water was heated every morning and into this the prisoners dumped their shirts and trousers—cooties and all —and after cooking them awhile, scrubbed them clean. I ligured I needed a bath as bad as my shirt, so took that first. After that I washed my shirt, hung it on the fence to dry, and then sat down to watch it. j One had to, else it would be stolen. I Fortunately, the sun was shining! brightly that day, so sitting outside minus one's shirt was not so bad. It was soon dry and I soon had all my wardrobe on again. What a pleasure putting on a shirt, clean, soft, warm and minus "cooties" — for the hot water had killed them all—only a man having been trou bled with these hungry insects can know. Being free from dirt and "cooties," for a time at least, I be gan feeling the old ache of hunger again, and having a little monej. invested in some vegetables which were being sold by prisoners who went out of camp to work every day. They got them in different ways. Sometimes a kind French womaiij would give a sack of vegetables other times they stole them. But min(k not to question why or where. It was enough that I could buy something to eat. True, turnips, cabbage and carrots are not very filling, hut Its better than nothing at all, and dividing the mixture with a.

In fact, the same brought a big price. Where the Prisoner got all the money was always a mystery to me. but then a French man is a thrifty soul and spends few sou foolishly at any time. oner makes him doubly careful so you can bet he always got his money's worth. Tough LOCK. In keeping himself In smokes, however, he always lost out. for there was only one source from which he could get them and that was the Boche. As always, tney STk advantage of his unhappy con dition and charged extortionate prices. One cigaret cost ten cents and a cigar 35 cents, according to men who smoked them they were rather good, too, probably being of Turkish tobacco, but at those prices, the "Poilu" with his hunger for to bacco and several francs in his pocket did not last long Hunger for food was bad enough, hut add to it the hunger for tobacco also and you can believe a man suffer ed. After I had watched some of these prisoners suffering from this double hunger I thanked my stars I did not smoke. I had only one hunger to deal with, and many were my comrades who called me lucky for not having the smoking habit. I have seen men so hungry for a smoke they would see the coat oft their back to get money to get it. Many even sold their shoes, while others wishing to remain warm as well as smoke were driven to the extremity of smoking leaves. As cabbage leaves seemed to be fairly easy to obtain they were used by many, as they dried quickly over a hot fire and when cut up fine made a good substitute. At least, they looked like tobacco, and when put in a pipe, even tasted like it—until the first draw. On the second day in this camp rations were given us. A small piece of black bread and a couple handfuls of small crackers. Golly! How good that black soggy bread tasted by that time! And that same evening a small piece of sausage—about an inch long—was given each of us with the "coffee." Life seemed a little pleasanter atter that, and we looked forward to our continued Journey into Germany for this was mqrely a camp of passage, so to speak. We had been told that none ever stayed longer than eight days, but we had been told so many i things like It before nobody was foißed.

However, on my third day there, I was called out from the rest, and given in charge of a guard, and started on my way to the station. At least, so I thought, for the guard had been given enough papers to take me to Berlin and back, but it turned out I was only bound for another camp on the other side of the town. This was a camp of dis cipline. where prisoners who had escaped and been caught, were placed for punishment. They were forbidden to write any letters or re ceive uny packages sent by friends. This was no punishment for me as I had never been in a camp long enough to get an answer, to a let ter or receive a package. They had other carefully thought up ways of punishing a man though, as usual, one being to take it out on his stom ach. About all wo got to eat was soup called "Julian." Why the name, I don't know. Sounds something like "Juliet," who if I remember tho story aright was mostly fcomposed of love, and they say love is nothing. That was about what the soup came to, for it was made chiefly from sugar beets. The taste was awful and its food value was "nil." Not even a hog would eat it. I am sure, and here they were feeding It to men. What was worse after eating the mess several days in succession one got the dysentery. Many died from this disorder. The only reason I escaped was because no matter how hungry I got I could not eat this particular soup. What did I eat 7 Well. I had my small ration of bread, and then we were given a sack of turnips every day. Golly! I ate so many turnips during my few days' stay there that I'm ashamed to look one in the face any more. When it came to puishment in my case they made a good start, for I arrived late in the afternoon, hungry as always .and expecting my rations of bread that night, had finished all I had. That night nothing was given me. Then it was that the comradely spirit of the Frenchman was shown me in its briglitess light, for seeing I had none, they one and all, gave a little from their scanty rations and gave the whole to me. Know ing how precious food was, I was surprised and touched beyond meas ure by such unexpected kindness. They were a great bunch, those fellows. Every one was there as punishment for escapng. Some had tried as many as five times and been caught, and what's more, were quite willing to make another break the moment the opportunity arrived. The opportunity did not come often in this camp though, for they had our number, and besides guarding us very well, they had rollcalls very mam 13 Dollars —13 Cents I When Swift & Company paid, say,—l 3 dollars per hundredweight for live beef cat tle last year, their profit was only 13 cents! In other words, if we had paid $13.13, we would have made no profit Or, if we had received a quarter of a cent per pound less for dressed beef we would have made no profit It is doubtful whether any other business is run on so close a margin of profit.

Found some hot water In this camp, and promptly took another bath. Also found about a dozen Itusslan prisoners. This surprised me considerably, and I asked one of their number, who seemed to be well educated and spoke both French and German, what was the big idea! Russia had made peace, so why were they ript free. The only answer I got to that was an expressive shrug of the shoulder, which might have meant anything. There he was, and what could he do about it. And he had been a prisoner for four years too. In that time I guess one would get sort of resigned. He was anyway. Allied Bombs. This camp was backed right up against the railroad and very close to the station. You will understand the significance of that when I tell you that the Allies airplanes bomb ed that station quite regularly both night and day. I distinctly remem ber one day they came over thirty strong. Goll, they were dropping all around that camp, some as near ! as fifty metres. Some had copie even closer than that several days before I arrived, one bomb bitting a bar rack squarely, killed several French men and praises be! several Boche guards. That rather knocked the morale of the remaining guards, for the next iiight when the Allies came over the Boche sentinels hunted up an "abri" (case) "tout de suite." Several inquisitive Frenchmen dis covered this on peeping out of the barracks and promptly took advant age of it by climbing the two fences. Some of them were too weak from lack of proper nourishment to es cape, so contented themselves with robbing a nearby truck patch of its best vegetables and returning. A few however, endeavored to reach the frontier 200 miles away, a long walk indeed even for a man In the best of health.
