NEW BRITAIN DAILY A.E l".’sEpic Battle of Argonne Recalled On Tenth Anniversary ‘Washington, Sept. 26. (fl—’l‘odl!L on the tenth anniversary of the be- ginning of the battle of the “Bloody Argonne,” America turns again to a glorious chapter in her military history. H Less spectacular jn the public eye at the time than the dashing valor of Cantigny and Chateau Thierry, the Meuse-Argonne offen- sive stands out in the records of the war department as the supreme achievement of the American Ex- peditiopary Forces in France. After 47 days of desperate combat in the wilderness of the Argonne, the Yanks accomplished what six months before had appeared im- possible, driving the Germans from almost impregnable positions. The 8t, Mihiel offcnsive earlier in September had reduced the last salient in the German lines and the Allies were compelled to stage a frontal attach. #The Meuse-Ar- gonne territory formed the bottle neck through which the Germans planned to make orderly with. drawal as the Allies pushed them back. Nowhers else on the west. ern front were their defenses built on such solid foundations. On the rolling hills and in the almost impenetrable forest, the Germans had five lines of defense. The first was the famous Hinden- burg line, elaborate concrete en- trenchments with vast areas of wire stretched in front. Back of the Hindenburg line was a supnort line known as the Hagen Stellung while farther to the rear was a powerfully organized system of trenches. For launching the attack in con- junction with the advance of allied forces along the entire front, Gen- eral Pershing had the greatest con- centration of American troops in history. There were 22 Aiwcrican division and a total of 631,405 men. Under Pershing's command also 138,000 French while the Ger- man and Austro-Hungarian forces numbered 607,212. At the beginning of the operation, there were 508 United States planes in the Ar- gonne sector. The roar of 2,775 American and French guns along a 20-mile front made the night of September 25 | Mrs. Elizabeth Smith Was Mother of were | | | grew continually stronger. Bad roads were hampering the bringing up of supplies and artillery, and the Germans were fighting desper- ately to hold their positions. The second phase of the battle began October ¢ and lasted until Novem- ber 1. Terrific fighting on every hill and in every wood was taking asheavy toll but the Americans pressed on. The relentless advance stea€ily wore down the enemy's strength and finaly compelled him to begin & general retreat. The retreat be- came a near rout, with the Ameri- cans driving onward until the Ger- mans asked for an armistice. Considered the army's greatest achievement in the world war, the advance had been made at the heaviest sacrifice. The total Ameri- can casualties in the Meuse-Ar- gonne were 115,520, More than 15,000 men were killed, 8,800 were missing; 69.832 wounded, 18864 gassed and 2,629 shell shocked. The German casualities were 126,550. NOTED WOMAN DIES Earl of Birkenhead and Moulded His Entire Career, Eastbourne, England, Sept. 26 () | —Mrs. Elizabeth 8mith, whose devo- tion and sacrifice helped her son, the Earl of Birkenhead, to reach the lord chancellorship, died this morn- ing. She fought against early obstacles to push her son forward and on the Earl's side there was unwavering af- fection and pride in his mother. While the cabinet was meeting in London Lerd Birkenhead was ab- sent, sharing with his two sisters the last vigil at his mother's bedsjde. Lord Birkenhead's father, Freder- ick Smith, died forty years ago, a few weeks after he had become may- or of Birkenhead. Mrs. Smith was left with a small income to bring up her family of five children. She sent “young Freddie” through Oxford and guided and encouraged him throughout his career. WOMEN STRUGGLE FOR GOLF TITLE Vacant Thrope Beckons Today to 16 Aspiring Young Players Hot Springs, Va., Sept. 26 UM—A vacant golf throne beckoned today Of these sixteen four have been champions before, several are. vet. erans of the game, and still others are getting the thrill of their first major tournament—the national women's championship. Helen Paget, a slender little Can- adian girl from Ottawa, who had become famous overnight by defeat- ing Mrs. Mirlam Burns Tysonn of Kansas City, the champion, was matched today against Mrs. George H.

In the same bracket was another Helen, “Hard Hitting Helen” Hicks, a 17-year-old New York girl, play- ing in her first national tournament and paired with Dora Virtue, an- other steady Canadian player from Montreal. The long driving New York girl, unlike the Canadian Hel- en, won her way into the second round by overwhelming her oppone ents with tremendous distance. Miss Maureen Orcutt of Engle- wood, N. J.. who has displayed some of the best golf of the tournament, found a worthy opponent in Mrs. |Harley G. Higbie, of Detroit, who |traveled 19 holes to defeat Edith Cummings, of Chicago, yesterday in the first round.
