 "Wouldnt you like to look at some nice thimbles?"

"ROBBER" HOLDS UP
SALOON FOR DRINK

bad Man" to Magistrate
at Hearing
HELD FOR, CARRYING GUN

"Givc me drink and n cigar"
This request, made by we'll dressed
stranger who drew a long, shiny re-
volver to insure speedy action, startled
Stephen Cunningham as he stood be-
hind the bar of his saloon at Twenty
second and Vine streets, today.
With the murders committed by other
hold up men still fresh in his mind,
Mr.. Cunningham decided to obey with
out argument. Still covering Cunning
ham with the revolver, the caller swal-
lowed the drink with quick one arm
movement. stuck the cigar in his
mouth and lighted it.
"Now have one yourself" he said,
as he watched the smoke rings encircle
the head of the bartender.
With the revolver still poked uncom-
fortably close to his nose, Mr.. Cum
ningham obeyed. The stranger then
backed out of the room and. on reach
ing the door, said: This is new way
of getting drink in Philadelphia.
On reaching the street the man broke
into a run. Mr.. Cunningham saw Pa
trolmen O'Hara and Callahan nearby,
and. pointing to the fleeing stranger.
said Get him. I'll explain later. The
man was caught after a chase of sew
eral squares. He showed no resist
ance.
II was only kidding was his ex-
planation when brought before Mag
istrate Beaton at the Twentieth and
Buttonwood streets station.
The prisoner said he was Henry Err
sey, of Twenty fifth and Dover streets,
and also declared that he was spe-
cial policeman for the Pennsylvania
Railroad. He had cards to bear this
out and investigation showed that his
statement was true. A blackjack and
unloaded revolver was found in his
pockets.
"If you were only kidding the joke
is on you" said the magistrate, "and
I will hold you in $500 bail on the
charge of carrying deadly weapons.

18TH STAFF ISSUES
SKETCH OF EXPLOITS,
Intrepid Fighters Gained Nine
Miles in First Day Of Advance
Against Enemy
ALL BATTLES IN LORRAINE
Ry star Correspondent

Hobokcn, n. j.. May 2a.--An official
sketch of the Seventy ninth Division
given out by the staff today is as fol
lows:
The Seventy ninth Division was
trained at Camp MeaGe, Md, and is
commanded by Major General Joseph +.
Kuhn. It is made up of selected men
from Pennsylvania, the District Of
Columbia. Wrst Virginia and New
York.
In July. 1918. tho division went to
France. After its arrival about two
months were spent in training area
near Bijon. and the movement to tho
staging area and tho front began tho
first week in September.
On September II the division took
over sector in the Argonnc and went
over the top for the first time on the
morning of September 26 when the great
Argonnc offensive was launched NAL
nncourt was captured on that day and
on the following day the German strong
hold. MontfauCon, WHICH had proved
impregnable to other allied assaults.
was taken. The offensive continued TO
point beyond Nnnticila and the total
gain was nine and hall, ,kilomctcrs.
From this sector the division moved
TO the Troyon sector. near st. Mihiel.
No offensive was launched while the di
vision occupied these lines. Scouting
parties were frequently sent out. how
ever. and casualties resulted from she'll
fire and gas.
On October 2S the division moved
into the lines northeast of Ncrdun on
what is known as the Grand Montaglc
sector. II attacked on November g.
on which day the Argonnc offensive was
extended east of the McuSc river.
On November q the division took the
Borne de CornouiIler. or Hill 3S7. which
had been regarded by experts as almost
impregnablc. 1t continued to advance
until the morning of November II. On
this day it occupied line extending
from the Cote dc Mornimont. beyond
the river Thintc. southpastward to Willie
dc Want Chaumont. The total divisional
advance on this drive was ten kilo
meters.
The division insignia is gray Lor-
raine cross on blue shield. This en-
blpm was adopted because it has come
to be regarded in Lorraine as a symbol
of victory. In all its war operations the
Seventy ninth Division faced the enemy
in Lorraine. the province which the
United States was pledged to win back
for France. 1t was only appropriate,
therefore that the division should select
as it's emblem the ancient symbol of vic
tory, the Lorraine cross.

A contribution of $4,000 has been
