THEIR CITATIONS.

"The mems citations in the divis-
ional order Of the day follow: 'Pri-
waite Johnson finding himself on night
sentry duty and being attacked by n
group OF more than a dozen Germans
put ono hOrs dc combat with rifle
shots and two others with knife cuts
Although wounded thrice by revolver
bullets and grenades at the start OF
the fight, he went to the help Of his
wounded comrade as the latter was
about to be carried off by the enemy,
and continued the struggle until tho
Germans were forced to flee. He
gave magnificent example of cour-
age and energy.
"Private Roberts, finding himself
on night sentry duty, attacked and
badly wounded in the leg by q group
of Germans, continued to throw hand
grenades, although fallen to the
ground, until the enemy was forced
to flee. A good and brave soldier"
Roberts, after receiving tho Croix
de iGuerre from the French General
OF the division, was sent homo to
of the right elbow caused by an ex
plosive bullet; fracture Of the right
little finger caused by bullet, a
bayonet wound eighteen inches long
necessitating sixteen stitches on tho
right side and suffering from gas.
He has been in the hospital at Cape
May since until October 25.
The colored people Of Harlem
wanted to give public reception to
Roberts, but the Mayor Of Trenton,
his native city, had planned one for
November 6, and Trenton was given
the precedence. Aside from tho
stiffness of his side and finger, and
q little forgetfulness caused by
shock, which will disappear in time,
he says he feels as we'll as he ever
did.
