For FieTGeneSS of Battle.
BY HENRY C. WALES.

PARIS, Nov. 29.-The bitter hght-
ing in which the Americans partici-
pated on the Argonne- -Meuse front
was more savage than that which
marked the great effort of the Ger
man crown prince to break through
at Verdun in 1916, according to DR..
Morton Prince, who was attached
TO the 26th American division.
II was with the divisional head
quarters at the Verdun citadel dur
ing the final phase of the fighting
when the Yankees stormed Bois
Belleau on the east bank of the
Meuse," said DIR. Prince.
The Germans opposed the Amer
leans with the bitterest possible re
sistance and from their positions on
the eastern side of the stream the
Krupp guns enfiladed the American
advance on the western side Of the
river between the Argonne forest
and the stream
'Hindenburg realized that whe1
the Americans cut the Mezieres-
Longuyon railroad the German arm
les would be split asunder
More Violent Than 1916.
Owing TO peace talk the closing
phases of the Verdun fighting went
virtually unnoticed but veteran
French officers declare it was more
violent than the bloody struggle in
1915.
''I was with the 26th division a.
Seicheprey and when they repulsed
the Germans at Chateau Thierry aft
er relieving the marines. Later this
division took Belleau station and
then Morey and still later it helped
nip off the St Mihiel salient Still
later the division was liaisoned with
the French and drove back the Ger
mans at Vigneulles on the Meuse.
During the final struggle before
the armistice was signed everybody
was talking peace.
Il believe that Pres't Wilson is
merely promising the Germans food
If they keep up their good behavior
and II will not he delivered unless
the enemy proves his good faith.
Let Huns Punish Kaiser.
The allies are not worrying
whether the Germans shake off the
hunger. as with forces holding the
Rhine blockade we can afford TO
wait indefinitely until the Germans
really have a change Of heart. Let
the ex-kaiser return 10 Potsdam and
the people will find a way TO deal
with him. Let the Germans dispose
of William HOhenZOllern them
selves"
Speaking Of the injuries TO SOL
diers DR.. Prince said that the
Americans suffered only slightly
from shell shock owing to the adop-
tion of improved British methods OF
treatment At the beginning Of the
war * was believed that shell shock
/ was an organic ailment and the pa
I tients were pampered and molly
/ coddled" Now, pointed out DR..
Prince. il is realized that shell shock

PUTTING FORTH MIGHTY EFFORT
Entire Section Working So as Not to
 Fall Short of Red Cross Quota.

Chairman Clifford H. Starkweather of the Danielson district Red Cross committee said just before 6 o'clock Monday evening that it was safe to say that the receipts in the first days drive to raise this districts appor- tionment of $5,000 of the Red Cross fund was in excess of $1.000.
 At that hour the exact figures were not available, for Mrs. E. H. Reach. head of the campaign committee ac lively engaged in the canvassing, had not received reports from all of her solicitors.
 Included in Mondays receipts were the contributions of the banks and corporations in the district. The fig ures for the first day look encourag- ing, but 1t must be remembered that they include most of the heavy sub scriptions that will come in and that if the district is to reach it's apportion- ment all must give and give liberally.
 Some gifts were noted Monday that showed decided increase over gifts received from the same persons in the last drive. This was taken as an en- couraging sign and raised the hopes of the workers that. with the enthu- siastic campaisning carried forward without Sletup throughout the week the district may attain it's quota
 The state organization representa- tives say that eastern Connecticut 'efell down. in last falls drive, didn't give as libera1ly as did other sections of the state. and it is to redeem itself that this section will put forth 2 mighty effort this week.

ALL MUST REGISTER
New Orders For Young Men of Age
 Since June 5, 1917.

Official war department telegrams received here Monday requested the fullest possible publicity of the fact that Wednesday, June 5, has been set as registration day for young men who have become 21 years of age since June of last year.
 It is also pointed out that all such young men must register, whether or rot they are ultimately found fit for military service, no matter what the condition of their health or physical being or mental clearness. The regis tration will extend into jails,, reforma- tories and other public institutions,
 The cooperation of every citizen is desired in spreading the information that all young men who have reached 21 years of age since last June must register. Failure to do so brings the classification of deserter upon such de- linquents and renders them liable to the severe penalties provided for such cases under the rules of the selective service law.
 All the young men who are to reg ister are to appear at the superior court room here. The registration will be under the direction of the To- cal board. Registration will commence at D. m and will continue until D. m, so as to give all ample opportu- uity to meet the government require ments.

There are 100 i enrolled in this class. and at their last meeting 67 were in attendance while | the average attendance is 75. In one evening of work this organization l turned out 1900 sponges. Each of the 1 workers gets a Red Cross after giving 15 hours of service and it is for these little decorations of honor that many strive, while thinking of the soldiers over the seas for whom they are working.
 The Junior Chautauqua Alumni As sociation also is doing good work These young people at a recent as sembly at the high school buildine made a number of paper back-pads.
