Lieutenant Hitzeroth, Brave
Philadelphian. Captured
at Chateau -Thierry
OPERATED MACHINE GUN
Held of Germans Deadly As.
sault Until Privates Rec
turned to Lines

Edward Hitzeroth. first lieutenant OF
Company NJ. 1O9th infantry tFirst Regi-
mcnt National Guard OF Pennsylvania),
Is n prisoner In tine German prison
camp at viliingen, but that does not
dim his war record.
He fought hard at Chateau-Thierry.
and according to comrades. actually
saved n mart OF his company from an
initiation by manning a machine-gun in
the face of a withering German fire. His
boys got back to their lines, but Hitz-
eroth was captured.
His home ia at 3419 Race street and
in letters, received by Mrs. Hitzeroth
the lieutenant asserts that he Is well
and irving to adjust himself to prison
life
story Of Capture
How Lieutenant Hitzeroth was cap
tured is told in a letter received by Mrs
Hitzeroth from an officer who saw the
philadelphian In the thick of the fight
ing.
The officer believed the lieutenant had
bcen killed and wrote the letter in an
effort to console Mrs. Hitzeroth. 1t was
received ten days after the International
Red Cross notified her that her hus-
mand had been captured. Tho letter
follows:
"Thc first of my close friends TO be
lost over here was your husband. Know
ing that YOU would not get particulars.
I have made inquiries so that ! might
give YOU all the information obta inable.
1t was on July Is. the beginning of the
German drive. Ed was in the front
line and his company held on long after
the troops on their right and left had
withdrawn. His company was ordered
to withdraw. Ed was last seen on a
road with n sergeant. He was operating
n machine-gun to cover UP the with
drawal of his men and due to his ex-
cellent account of himself his men were
able to withdraw with n minimum loss.
Later the sergeants body was found. but
no trace of your husband. 1t Is pos
sible therefore that lie was taken pris-
oner.
Cause for Pride
you can be extremely proud of your
husbands gallantry and courage dis
played in this action. I have heard
splendid reports from those who were
with him in the front line and those who
saw him make his last stand. You have
my deepest sympathy and moreover
want you to know how proud I am of the
last account Ed gave of himself. He
has the admiration of the entire divi-
sion"
Mrs. Hitzeroth is very proud of that
letter. Il have received letters from my
husband she said. but never did he
tell me of that action. He never writes
or talks about himself. 80 the letter Is
very comforting. For weeks l thought
Ed had been killed. Then ! received
word that he had been taken prisoner
and later received this letter. He did
his best in that fight and / am proud
of him."
Lieutenant Hitzeroth for nearly
twenty years was "a member of the First
City Troop and when that organization
was disrupted at Camp Hancock he
was given place in the 109th Infantry.

MODEST HERO FAILS

Captain Has to Write to Re.
veal Bravery of Doylestown
. Corporal

Doylestown has a hero. and he is
modest. after the manner of real heroes.
So modest Is he that in a letter to his
mother he made no mention of the fact
that he had been cited in general orders
for exceptional bravery.
But for the pride of his commander.
Captain George Ross, of Company q.
i11th Infantry. 1t probably would have
been months before the news of the
exploit of Corporal Alfred Fries got to
his mother. Mrs. AlbeH II. Fries.
This is the letter CD btain' Ross wrote:

something of which one may well be

sniper. detecting the attempted decep-
tion. picked off the entire party of five
bocheS before they could do any harm.
Aside from trickiness, however, the
average German soldier is poor op-
ponent, according to Sergeant Turner's
correspondence with his sister, Mrs. A.
NJ. Lorenz, 1717 South Sixteenth street.
In one regard only does Sergeant Tur-
ner entertain respect for the average
German soldier. He admires his run
ming ability immensely, but deplOres his
judgment in leaving so much of his
wearing apparel behind. In this con-
nection the sergeant says:
1--WE have got the boches' goat. and a
large number of his army and goodness
knows how much of his booty. There
are dead Germans in every woods, and
clothing. rifles, bullets, helmets, belts,
machine guns, etc. were left to their
fate they had to go SO fast. They
even left some of their horses behind"
