MEET AFTER 28
YEARS. ABSENCE
Robert M. Sturgeon and His
Sisters Have an Unexpected
Reunion at HummelStown

York, Pa, March 26.-After being
eight years. Robert NJ. Sturgeon, a
well-known newspaperman, of York,
and Mrs. Nellie NJ. Wylie, of Fort
Collins. Col, both former Harrisburg
the home of their sister. Mrs. Jen-
ME r. Hummel. at Hummelstown.
where Mr.. Sturgeon called for a vis-
il, although he did not know of the
others presence. Mr.. and Mrs. Wylie
loft here in 1890 shortly after the
death of the latters father II. a.
Sturgeon, a former Harrisburg bank
or, and since that time have lived in
the Colorado city. During their alb
sence from the city they lost all
connection with their former ac-
quaintances here. At that time they
were close friends with d. l. Keis-
ter, now Harrisburg's Mayor, yet did
not know of his election until their
arrival here.
When Mr. and Mrs Wylie decided to
come East they did so without no
tifying all their relatives, which ac-
counts for the chance meeting of
Mrs. Wylie and her brother yesterday
at the Hummel home. At the initial
meeting Mr.. Sturgeon did not recog-
nize his sister and had to be told
who she was.
Another sister of the Surgeons,
the Oldest, Mrs. Laura Montgomery
died three months ago in San Fran
cisco, Cal. The two sisters and the
brother are the only ones now sur
viving.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-03-26

a fearful toll eXacted by machine
guns and artillery. The fighting on
these sectors continues of the most
severe character.
Germans Suffer Heavy Loss
Southeast of Arras the British line
has yielded only about three miles at
the greatest depth since Saturday.
Immediately west of the Somme,
south of Peronne, the Germans suf-
fered heavily in forcing a crossing
of the river and seemingly have not
been able to advance as fast as they
did before He river was reached.
In the Bapaume region, the Ger
mans have driven long salient in
toward Longueval and have widened
it somewhat southwark in the direc-
ton of Peronne. However, unless
the salient is widened still more it
may prove a menace to the enemy
as the British line still is holding
we'll to the north and south.
British and French Fall Back
On the low-lying ground between
the Somme and the Disc, where the
French have come to assist the Brit
ish, the Germans have reached Nesle
and Guiscard, the British and
French falling back under orders,
but resisting the oncoming enemy
Iorces strongly. Around Chauny
the Germans apparently have made
no effort to cross the Disc and strike
south and the French north of the
Disc probably are falling back to
it toward the old line as it existed
before the German retreat of last
March.
Retire Toward Somme
In their original attack the Ger
mans made their strongest efforts
Immediately west of Cambria and
between st. Quentin and La Fere
and drove forward on those sectors
in the form of the well-known
"pincers" operations. The British,
however, met this by retiring in the
center toward Somme, eluding the
jaws of the ''pincers" and forcing the
German advance to take the form
of wedge with a blunt apex and
wide wings.
AS the battle now stands it is not
much greater in length than the
line which the Germans attacked.
but the enemy now has exposed his
front to flank attacks both from the
north and the south. In five days the
Germans have advanced over ap-
proXimately two-thirds of the ter
ritory devastated and made almost a
barren waste in the retirement to
the Hindenburg line a year ago.
Airmen Bag 81 Hun Planes
British airmen continue to give
strong help to the infantry and ar
tillery and the latest statement re-
ports that they accounted for sixty
seven enemy machines, forty-fve of
which were shot down. The British
loss was ten. Entente aviators also
have bombed Cologne and railway
stations behind the battle line as
well as airdromes and billets.
In Palestine British troops cross
ing the river Jordan in force north
of Jericho are within three miles of
Essalt, south of Mount Gilead. They
now have covered nearly half the
distance between the river and the
Hedjas railway to the east.

Somewhere in France,

Irar Mother: I can hardly be-
l.cvc that u month ago I was in the
states, as 50 much has taken place
within the past month. that l will
not forget, even for q day, as long
as [ live.
1t has always been a hard job for
me to write u letter, but 1t is twice
as hard now.
| might say we had very rough
trip across and one more trip PACK
will be enough for me, although
did not even get sea sick. Some Oh
the boys sure did feed the hsh;
We might call our location deslr-
able. if we did not have to walk SO
far TO get to town.
Tell the boys to wear their ola
clothing and shoes when they start
their trip across. 1t is spring time
here, but the mornings and evenings
are very damp and chilly.
When we are eating our dinner
here, you people in the states are
only eating your breakfast.
Tell any of the boys who expect
to come across, to lay in a three
months supply of their faVorlte
cigarets. tobacco and toilet ARTICLES
as these things are almost impossi-
BILE to get over here. Cake and candy
are very scarce. but we can buy jam
and French chocolate bars. We are
having quite time learning to
speak French. Every time we want
to buy anything, we must get out
our guide book, or show them what
we want. The French money is
easily understood, and the French
people are charging us double prices
for most everything we buy.
Tell Clark TO send me four cans
of Tuxedo tobacco, and three weeks
later. four cans more and L shall
send him a money order for same,
also send a half dozen pairs of cam
vas gloves.
Let me know of any of the boys
who are over here and in what COM
pany and regiment they are. 1 hope
| am the first one from Manchester
to cross the Pond, but 1 thing, Geo.
Everhart should be over very
soon. 1 met Sam Krout, of York
Haven. He is in our camp. Send
me York Dispatch once in a while
as a newspaper is a rare thing in
camp. My watch was ruined when
a wave came up on deck, striking
me and giving me a salt water bath.
Tho salt got into the works and
the ieweler said he could not repair
il. trust you are all well. ] have
not been sick a day since / enlisted.
