Washington, Jan. 22.-Means of
enforcing prohibition after July l
are under consideration by officials
of the Department of Justice and the
Internal Revenue Bureau, but steps
to create special enforcement
agency will not be taken until Con-
gress has had time to act on pend
ing legislation giving this function to
the revnue bureau.
This bureau now has about 500
agents who could be assigned to
liquor violation detection, including
800 now engaged partly in running
down illicit liquor distillers. Officials
believe, however, that this force
would have to be enlarged by s6v-
eral times. The Department of Jus
tice also stands ready to assign many
of its secret agents to prohibition
enforcement.
The bulk of enforcement work,
however, would fall on state and

and received the congratulations of
his friends. He stated he had been
picked up for dead, but it would
take more than one Boche shell to
put him underground in France.
That night his brother Harry, who
has a big farm in Salisbury, came TO
town to greet him.
Gee, Miles," said Brother Harry,
I'm awfully glad to see you,, but do
you know where your wife is?"

of the wounded soldier, invalided

'She's Married Again"
You're. wrong" said the brother,
I'VE heard you were dead and she's
married again."
And here is how it happened:
Several months after the report that
her soldier husband had been killed
in France, Mrs. Miles Roth, who be-
fore her marriage was Caroline
Agnes WeinStein, was again led to
the altar by William George Smith,

Roth declared, "and with me dead,

that some other man was attracted
by her. L alwaps loved her, and in
this mix-up I'm not the one to start
any trouble. Sure, we were married
as any Christian couple ought to be.
But If she thought I was dead, as q
lot of others thought, why should 1
make a fuss about it or make trou-
bic for her? hope the kids are all
right. For the present, I'm going
back to the Greenhut Hospital, in
New York, from which they gave me
only a short leave"

18TH TROOPS
BEAT HUNS BEST
Heavy Casualties Laid to Fact
That Supporting Artillery
Was Out of Range

Philadelphia.-Maj John Lewis
Evans, of Haverford, who returned
from France last week and was dis
charged at Camp Dix few days
ago, tells of the punishment sus-
tanned by the 10th Division in the
last few weeks of fighting in the
war. The 10th Division was prin-
cipally made up of drafted men
from Pennsylvania
He told of how the 10th Division
was sneered at after it's first five
days in actual fighting because the
division did not attain all its objec-
tives. But the division that sue
ceeded u.s." Major Evans said, did
not gain a foot of ground and when
that got around there was a differ
ent attitude toward the 79th." And
after that the 18th went in along
the Meuse and showed them"
Hill 304 Occupied
"The 18th went into a historic
sector at Verdun a few days before
the big drive of September 26. We
occupied Hill 304, famous as the
scene of fighting during the great
German drives at Verdun. But the
sector had been quiet for a long
time and there was a sort of gentle
mems agreement between the Ger
mans and the French that resulted
in no firing at all. 1t was extremely
veaceful when we took hold.
~ remember one day that one of
our boys sighted Hun and it looked
like a good shot to him. He had
his rifle hunched up to his shoulder
and was just about ready to fire
when a French soldier saw him,
seized him and dragged him back
with horror in his eyes. He begged
the American not to start some
thing using whatever French
equivalent there is for that express
sion.
when we started our five-day
drive our procession on the first day
was hardly interfered with at ALL
And that took US away from our ar
tillery. There had been a, tremen-
dous artillery preparation. So many
guns had been assembled that they
were almost literally hub to hub
ISIS and heavies. The firing started
at A. NJ. and gradually increased
in volume until it was impossible to
hear yourself think.
"Montfaucon was one of our OBJ
jectives the first day, but we did not
take it until the second. And then
we went on, without artillery. That
country has been so fought over that
transport was impossible without
new roads, and we couldn't stop to
wait for new roads. So we went
ahead and cleaned out machine gun

nests and German artillery and in
fantry while our artillery was far
behind, out of range.
Many Officers Lost
THAT is one of the things that ex-
plains our heavy casualties. Nearly
every major in the division was q
casualty and | would not be sur
prised if the 10th lost more officers
than any other division.
The fact is that a much more
determined resistance from the Ger
mans met our advance than the
American military authorities had
anticipated. At any rate we came
out after five days and went into a
quiet sector, at Troyon, south of
Verdun. There was considerable
firing there and some raids oc-
CURED, but there was nothing TO
speak of.
The final period of service of the
10Th Division was along the Meuse,
toward the end of October and con-
tinuing until the armistice, for
about two weeks of fierce fighting
and heavy punishment. This fight
ing was not like the Going over the
top of the trench warfare. Condi-
tions had changed and we were
fighting in the open and we fought
almost entirely against machine gun
nests and artillery. The German
machine gunners stuck by their
guns. L have yet to learn of u
captured German gun that did not
have at least one dead Hun along
side of it.
1T was mostly Indian fighting,
the troops advance in lines, each
man yards away from the next and
when he found nest it was his
own private job to get rid of it and
he did it with his rifle, or with a
hand or rifle grenade. There was
little bayonet lighting, if any.
But it was Furnishing work and
our boys had to pay for their VIC
tories. But L don't believe we could
have done it any other way. 1t GER
tainly wouldn't have been any better
if we had protracted the thing for
another year. Our boys were eager
to get through with it; to finish il,
and they preferred to play the game
that way"
Kamerad on Big Scale
Major Evans explained that the
operation in which the 10Th Division
played a part was the final one to
break one of the two lines of COM
munications of the Germans, and it
succeeded.
II believe the Allies would have
captured half the German army IL
the war had gone another month"
he said, "and that explains the ar

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 22-To come
nome from France after having
been reported dead, and to find his
wife married to another man, is the
experience of Miles c. Roth, q cited
hero of the Pennsylvania Division.
Private Roth, is as far as known
here, the first Pennsylvania Enoch
Arden of the great world war, and
ms romance even surpasses that of
the hero of Tennyson's poem.
Lord Tennyson left the innocent
wife in happy possession of her sec
ond husband. In this case the sec
ond spouse followed the first as a
crusader in France against the Hun.
Also, there are two children.
A short time after the second bat
tie of the Marne, news trickled back
that a number of Allentown soldiers
had been killed and wounded
Among those reported killed was
Miles Roth, Lehigh county boy,
with a record of fifteen years in the
National Guard as a soldier of Com
pany ID, old Fourth PENNSYLVANIA
infantry In private life he was chef
at the Hotel Allen, and as a guards
man at Mount Gretna and on the
Mexican border he was popular be-
cause he supervised the mess of his
command and was a master of the
culinary art.
Came Near Death
The first news from across the sea
was that he had been gassed and
while unconscious blown to pieces by
a high explosive.
1t turns out that on July % last,
after he had moved the kitchen out
mt of the 10Sth Machine Gun Bat
TALON close up to the fighting and
was furnishing food TO the fighters
and assisting the wounded, a Ger
man Shell exploded within ten feet
OF him. -Four men were killed and
IL was thought Private Roth was
also among the slain. The rescue
squad that came along some hours
later discovered he was not dead,
and he was taken back to a hospital.
There 1t was found that, although
not dead, few men had ever been
closer to extinction.
The force of the Hun shell had
dlslocated both ankle joints. both
knee joints and both elbow Joints
besides knocking out his teeth and
infilctlng some other injuries. In ad-
dlt1on he suffered from the effects
of gas.
The reducing of the dislocated
joints was easy work for the sur
geons, but even now he walks stiffIv
and he has not entirely recovered
from the shell shock and gassinp,
but he was pretty lively for q soldier
reported dead when he returned to
Allentown last Saturday morning

PRESSCLAnN FOR
NEW ARAB STATE
Sons of Monarch Seek to
Establish Nation at Peace
Conference

Paris, Jan. 22.-Prince Feisal, son
Sof the King of Hedjaz, whom he rep
resents at the Peace Conference, is
| pressing his claims for the recogni-
ton of the Arab state of Hedjaz.
''The Arabs have long enough
suffered under foreign domination"
he said to The Associated Press to-
day. The hour has at last struck
when we are to come into our own
again. We have, L believe, an even
greater right to become free and
independent than any of the new
since We are the oldest democracy
in the world.
THE country is inhabited almost
f exclusively by a homogeneous set
of Arabs, all descending from a
common stock, while the foreign
elemenL is infinitesimal, certainly
smaller than in any other country
L know. of. There are only about
two thousand Turkish officials and
no Turkish population in a land con-
tanning three and one-half million
Arabs. Why then should not the
Arabs rule the country where they
live and have lived for countless
generations? Why should we not
be masters in our own house?"
Defeated Turks
GAS a small struggling nation we
have already done much," said the
prince. king Hussein, my father,
commonly called the grand old man
of the east declared war against
Turkey when she was at the height
of her military glory, and invited
volunteers to his standard. Soon
quite considerable army collected,
which under my personal leadership,
inflicted on the Turks a series of
defeats eliminating in taking of
Medina.
THE two usual objections made
to our ambitions" continued the
prince, are: Have your people
reached high enough standard of
civilization to govern themselves?
And will you have enough money
TO carry on your state?'
