The ridge of Dame Marie was

1000 prisoners were taken during the
day These include one colonel and
two battalion staffs.
Fighting opened this morning with
the infantry sweeping through the
northern portion of the Argonne forest
for a maximum distance of nearly five
miles. Little opposition was encoun-
tered from the enemy, who had prob
ably retired during the night to es-
cape from the untenable poke,
formed by the American thanking
movement on Monday.

Previously it was announced that

and 500 Of the rooms can be offered

been found unavailable for. various
reasons.
The soldiers have finished their
work in the southeast, southwest and
part of tho northwest The results
thus far are known to be below the
expectations of the. housing officials,
and unless the northeast and the re-
