MILITARY PAGEANT PROGRAM DRAFTED Re-Enactment of York’s Ex-| ploits and Other Features to Start Thursday. A re-enactment of Sergt. Alvin C.| York’s dramatic exploit in the Argonne Forest, which is to feature the military exposition and carnival at the War Col- lege, beginning Thursday and continu- ing through Saturday, is graphically de- scribed by the committee in a state-| ment given out today by the exposition | committee. | The re-enactment will take place at | 4 oclock and at 9 p.m. each day, with | the 12th Infantry from Fort Washing- ton simulating the battle. On the pre- ceding days Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery tanks and air forces will give demon- strations. - | Sergt. York's foray against the enemy | machine guns will be depicted in three | phases, described by the exposition com- mittee as follows: Phrase One, | 1. The Americans open fire with four machine guns and intermittent fire by artillery and 37 mm. guns. The "assault_s . which repre- sent the 2d Battalion of the 328th Infantry Regiment, are in position to jump off and attack the enemy. The enemy forces are occupying strong defensive sitions. i 2. The Americ assault sections | move out: anti-aircraft guns fire at an enemy observation plane: The attacking forces fight'their way forward 150 yards, where they are stop- ped by strong machine gun fire of the enemy and the enemy's artillery opens up on the attacking American dough- | boys. 3. Over the lines comes a {friendly plane and drops a message to the at- tacking force. ‘ | Phase Two. 4. It is now foynd that the enemy machine guns much be silenced or the aitack cannot go on, The assault platoon in which is Sergt. York and his squad which helps to | make up the three squads of the pla-| toon, is ordered to go around in rear o7 Ladies’ and men’s w. of the enemy to take the machine gun in rear. The platoon disappears on the east flank. At this time an enemy officer calls for a conference at his headquarters—the little house plainly seen on the grounds. 5. The American patrol appears be- hind the enemy defense position. Sergt. York can be identified by his white hel- met. They are seen chasing two flee- ing enemy soldiers, 6. While the patrol is counting up the enemy prisoners, it is suddenly fired on with heavy losses. York is seen some distance from his men, who all drop to the ground and seek cover. York immediately opens fire with his rifle and begins picking off members of the enemy machine-gun crews. One by one they drop. 7. As York's rifie ammunition is ex- hausted from the front pockets of his belt, he is attacked by an enemy offi- cer with five men using rifles and bay- onets. York draws his pistol and kills this group, one after another. He now has secured the ammunition from the rear pockets of his belt and is about to resume his fire on the ma- chine gunners. g Out from the group of enemy pris- oncrs cpmes the major of the enemy battalion. York tells him that he must surrender his men or he will be the next to die. The enemy commander blows his whistle and the machine gunners cease firing and come out with their arms above their heads and surrender. 8. York ngw forms his prisoners in a column with the American wounded being carried at the rear and York places himself at the front of the col- umn with three enemy officers. The column moves toward the enemy lines, and comes upon other enemy ma- chine gun nests, when York threatens to Kkill the enemy major unless he orders his men to surrender; this is done and York effects their capture. 9. The group now crosses through ne man's land to the American lines. | Two enemy ambulances now come on | the field and remove their dead and | wounded. Phase Three. 10. The enemy now occupies the mairi_defensive positipn and lays wire for tank defense. Now that the machine guns have been accountdd for by Sergt. York, the American attack is renewed, supported by two tanks and a barrage of artillery fire, 11. The attack proceeds by infiltration in the rear of the tanks and is held up temporarily, 75 yards from the enemy trenches. A smoke screen is laid by bombs, ‘Two artillery guns gallop up and go into action. 12.
