near HALT OF AN
OHIO DIVISION WAS
LOST ON BATTLEFIELD
Ohio Division in Which Many Neigh
bOr Boys Were Recruited Had
Heavy Loss In War.

Dayton, Ohio, January IA The
Thirty-seventh or Buckeye Division
suffered casualties amounting to near
ly 80 per cent. according to an an
nouncement made here yesterday by
Colonel Robert l.. Huber, who recent
ly returned from France. OF the 27,-
900 men Of the Ohio unit who went in
to action only $4,000 remained when
Germany signed the armistice, Colonel
Huber stated. y
The Thirty-seventh Division not
only lost thousands Of men, but near
ly all of Its equipment as well, only
forty army trucks being left out of 361
with which the unit went INTO action.
Only 1900 horses are left out of the
1000 with which the division was
equipped.
Colonel Huber, who formerly COM
manded the old First Ohio Infantry,
commanded the Third on the Mexican
border. He recruited and reorganized
that regiment at the outbreak of the
war with Germany. Many Cincinnati
ians were recruited in the Third Ohio,
which later became the One Hundred
and Forty-eighth Infantry.
The One Hundred and Forty-eighth
Infantry was commanded by Colonel
Huber at Camp Sheridan, Alabama,
but on arrival in France he was
placed in command of munition ana
supply trains.
Several former members of Cincln-
MATHS own, the old First Ohio, were
placed in the One Hundred and Forty
eighth Infantry when National Guard
units were broken up. Most of them
however. were placed In the One Hun
dred and Forty-seventh Infantry
which is commanded by Colonel Fred
W. Galbraith, Jr., of Cincinnati.
Evidence that these two regiments
as well as the other infantry and ma
chine gun units of the division, suf-
fered severe casualties, has been re-
ceived In the official casualty lists
given out by the War Department.
The Manchester National Guard
Company is which many Aberdeen
and Brown and Adams county boys
were recruited were part of Col. HUI,
bler's command and their loss was
very heavy.
