ARGONNE SECTOR DUPLICATED HERE Will Be Scene of Re-enact- t ment of Lost Battalion’s E Fight at Army Carnival. Army Engineers are using reforesta- tion methods at the Washington Bar- racks to produce a portion of “the pocket” in the Argonne, to be used in re-enacting the battle of the famous Lost Battalion as a feature of the se ond annual military exposition and car- nival to be held here October 4, 5 and 6. Maj. Gen. W. D. Connor, command- | er of the Army War College, is in| charge of the show. Trees and brush have been trans- | planted in a part of the great parade | ground at the barracks on a stretch Which a few days ago was covered with close-cropped grass. The reproduction of the heroic stand of the Lost Bal talion, 10 years ago, will be only one feature of the carnival, which is ex- pected to be even more pretentious than the event of last year. Every department of the Army will be represented by exhibits or demon- strations. The finest rough riders and Fort Myer will give exhibitions of their gkill. Aerial acrobatics of the most sen- sational character will be given by pilots of the Army Air Corps. Artillery to Perform.
