Stop « coment for a look at that Argonne Forest as it was on Sept. 26. 5 a It stretches, for some thirty miles, from Thiaucourt on the south to ”® 5 * Grand Pre on the north. Across the hills, ravines and jungles of this region iy ran the famed “Hindenburg Line,” more than two miles deep, a mass of 2 ‘renches and wire, rocks, trees, pits and machine-gun nests. The roads are mined or blown up. The use of artillery is out of question. The Ger- + mans are protected by innumerable “pill” boxes, dugouts and ready-made WAR STARTED | | T of the Tuft,” so called ause of @ ittle tuft of black hair which grew on the top of his heat, was the only son of a Proud Queen of the House of Riquet. The fairy who presided at his positions, all designed to cover the lines of the enemy’s advance. Every e, birth assured the Queen, his mother, oress trail and road is under the exact range of powerful batteries further that he would grow to have so much back. In a word, the Argonne on that 26th of September was a veritable wisdom and good sense that peuple hell. would love him despite his ugly bump. Before the Americans began their attack they were told that they had a job on their hands such as they had never tackled before. The Germans laughed when they thought of the doughboys attacking their stronghold. The order for the advance came, and our boys started in against the trained soldiers of the Keiser snugly awaiting them behind thetr impreg- nabdle fortifications. We know how stow the progress was—how for eight or ten days the | boys seemed to be fighting and dying tn vain; always advancing, to be 1] sure, but 90 slowly, @ little bit here and a little bit there, the net result betng hardly perceptible. A But the indomitable pressure, the never faiting SPIRIT of our boys, at last began to tell, and the foe commenced to weaken, to break up, to back- t step. { ‘The German was back.stepping, but with characteristic Prusstan stub- bornness he kept his face toward the advancing Americans and fougit to the death, Foot by foot, yard by yard, the Americans forged ahead through the hell that on all sides beset them, and on the memorable Wednesday, Oct, 9, stood victorious on the Heights of Mare! ‘The Argonne was won! The “tmpossible’ had been achieved by the boys who, a little more than a year ago, were at home here in America without a day's military training, the greater part of them never having had a gun fn their hands. } It was a splendid compliment to our boys when Generalissimo Foch asked them to drive the Germans out of the Argonne stronguold and it ‘was a magnificent demonstration of American manhood when those boys if \\ EMPLOYMENT — AGENCY | DON'T CARE IF SHE CAN'T COOK NEITHER Glapys!
