18th BOYS ARE
COMING HOME
Great Record of Pennsylvania
Maryland Division Train
ed At Camp Meade

General Kuhn is intensely proud
of the splendid division trained at
Camp Meade and composed of
Pennsylvania and Maryland boys.
principally. most of whom will be
discharged and at home before the
close of this week.
The division insignia is the Lor-
ralne Cross, superimposed on a blue
shield, the insignia being selected
because of the fact that in all of
It's major operations the division
fought in Lorraine. The casualties
missing and prisoners (the prisoner
total was only fifteen), while its
minor casualties exceeded 5000.
The Seventy-ninth Division cap
tured among other German posts
the Crown Princes bomb-proof cell
lar observatory at Montfaucon. In
this town. after its capture, were
found some highly interesting
things There was house with a
periscope through its roof, running
down into a concrete, bombproof
cellar. The periscope gave a view
of all the Allied lines on that side
of Verdun, and had been used as
an observatory by the Crown Prince
during his siege of Nerdun in 1916.
With characteristic Boche ingenuity,
1t had been arranged so that it could
not be turned backward to be util-
lied against their positions. Dug
outs were found in the town, with
luxurious lighting systems, large
quantities of beer and wine. fresh
cabbages, and everything to make
life easy at the front.
The Seventy Division was or
n
trained at Camp Meade, Md. 1t is
composed of drafted men from
Maryland and Pennsylvania, with
about a thousand each from West
Virginia, New York. and the district
of Columb bia. 1t went overseas in
July, 1918, and underwent a train
ing course at training area near
Dijon. It began leaving France for
the United States on May IS. The
whole division has now returned.
Entering the lines for the first
time on September IA, 1918, the
Seventy ninth Division took part in
two phases of the great American
offensive known as the Meuse-Ar-
gonne. The division went over the
top on September 26, when the Of
fensive was launched. and advanced
nine and a half kilometers, over
| most difficult terrain, before it was
| relieved by the Third Division or
| September 80. After a few weeks
spent on a quiet sector near st
! Mihiel, it again started active opera
| tions east of the Meuse river, and
! advanced ten ki1ometers in eight
days before the armistice inter.
vened.
Ir the French citation of Major
General Kuhn, commander of the
! Seventy on the occasion oi
| his being made a commander in the
Legion of Honor, they expressed
their gratitude for the work of the
division on the taking of Hill 37S
which made possible the further
progress of the division. It was a
great fighting force and Harris
burg was gallantly represented by
many of its bravest sons. some OF
whom have been decorated for dis
tinguished service.

Social Work Body
Drops R. M. Baldwin

Atlantic City. n. j., June "a
rift which for a time seemed would
reach serious proportions punctuat-
ed the National Conference of Social
Work Saturday afternoon. when Mrs
Florence Kelley, of New York. chair
man of the Committee on Industrial
and Economic Conditions. read the
name of Roger NJ. Baldwin as a
member of that organization.
Instantly there was an unroar
from all parts of the convention
hall. for most of the delegates are
aware that Baldwin, former chief
probation officer of st. Louis, and
later interested in work of the same
sort in New York. is serving a term
in the Essex county Jail for having
circulated propaganda against the
selective service act.
There were spiritual speeches for
and against Baldwin. but when the
vote was taken the faction headed
by Mrs. Kelley was defeated 262 tc
216. and Baldwtn's name was or
dered dropped. 1t was noticed that
IS per cent. of those who voted in
his favor were women
