was Sergeant Major Little, of the 312th
Machine Gun Battalion.
( How Major Allen Died
speaking of real heroes, | am re-
minded of Major Allen, who was killed
by a shell on the third night Of the
battle. He was a prominent Philadel-
gphia physician before the war, but, in
stead of selecting the medical corps,
picked the infantry. On the third night
lie was leading his battalion when a
front of him. Mortaly wounded, he
raised his head and said good-by. but
not until he had instructed the senior
captain to continue the advance.
Since the famous battle there have
been stories circulated on this side that
our men were shot down by their own
artillery This is not true. Our artil-
lery support was wonderful, but a Ger
man battery occupied position on one
Of the fanks and killed many of our
men before it was silenced. Its position
would give one the impression that the
shots we're being fired by our own ar
tillery units.
The 3l3th, under Colonel Sweezey, is
deserving of all the praise that it is pos
sible to bestow upon any fighting organi-
zaton. Sweezey an old army man.
asked his boys to do their duty and
they obeyed. 4 majority of his officers
were Philadelphians, and two in par
ticular / must mention
one is Major Pepper, who was killed,
and the second man Is Lieutenant Jo-
seph ~ Du Barry formerly of the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER. Pepper died
the death OF a hero, but before going
west played havoc with the Germans.
He displayed remarkable coolness and
bravery. His conduct in that battle is

that little man can deliver a great

he attempt to spare himself. His inter-

those poor chaps who were mortally

Discussing the battle, Colonel Tar

possible for him to divulge information
of military Importance, and owing to
this restriction. a detailed account of
the fighting could not be given. But

shelling and terrible machinegun fire
reached our first objective in less than
four hours of fighting.
"AlI that afternoon and night the
Germans kept up a deadly fire and

next morning found them fighting harder
