WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE July 24-Coming through a
certain woods, an American unit
found the brooches had established
machine guns every ten yards. They
were seemingly impregnable. The
Americans massed, as though for a
frontal attack. While the Germans'
attention was conferred on these
forces, other Americans made a wide,
encircling movement and suddenly

Beyond Chateau-Thierry, saw q

blown out OF the grown by shells. In
the midst OF the patch was a shallow
German dugout covered over by the
footboard and headboard of a wooden
bed taken from a nearby house. The
boche occupants had left blankets,
coats and other equipment in their
flight.
The villages north OF the Marine are
badly wrecked, and display freaks
that remind one OF the queer pranks
played by American tornRdoes. One
shell hit the side OF a house and tore
of the wall that had served as the
back of cupboard. The dishes stood
revealed on the shelves. untouched.
Along the road near the river,
which was held by the enemy a few
days back, saw prisoners at work

the way for American wagons and
guns.

other failure to send the war revSnue
bill to conference again marked to-
days holiday routine session Of the
house. Representative Lunn of New

The house adjourned until Thurs

AUTO TRAVELLERS
CAUGHT IN SNOW
STORM ON PLAINS

ESPECIAL coRREsPoNosNcH TO enRniHe JouPHAL'
Roswell ~ NJ, Dec. 30.-All the
stories of nights on the plains and the
snow eddying around and slowly drift
ing over the wanderer fade into COM
parative insignificance when COM
pared with the adventures of Mrs. w.
s. Day and her brother, jay White
who attempted TO make the trip from
Roswell to the Day ranch near the
little town of Buchanan during the
recent snow storm.
Leaving Roswell about noon Satur-
day morning, they thought it would
be possible to make the journey in a
few hours. When within six miles of
their destination, however, they ran
out of gasoline after a trip that made
the automobile fight like a demon to
make its way through the many snow
banks encountered. Mr.. White then
planned to walk to buchanan after as
sistance and it was agreed that Mrs
DAY remain in the car until he re-
turned. Wandering back and forth In
the never-endiSg stretch of wilder
ness, which covered the roads and
drifted against the fences, making
the panorama for miles and miles the
same white sheet, Mr.. White soon dis
covered that he was lost All night
he wandered, going in circles and yon-
der making little or nor progress.
Mrs. Day had a thin blanket and
managed to keep covered up and part
" warm during the night, but all the
time her fears kept growing as she
pictured the awful consequences
which might follow.
Night came again and still the situa-
ton remained unchanged, And it was
not until early day, after nearly thr-
ty-six hours of wandering with the
snow pelting down upon him that Mr.
White finally made his painful way
into Buchanan.
At the ranch house, which is right
in the town. Mr.. Day was found and
with Mr. White he drove to the de-
serted car with a supply of gasoline
Although they would not have beer
surprised TO find Mrs. Day in a serious
condition, they discovered that she
had been able to make a small fire
and with the assistance of the blan-
ket, had been able to keen herself
warm to a certain extent. They drove
into the settlement without further
mishau and were cared for and thor
oughly warmed after having spent two
nights and a day in the Yeso hills il
the worst snowstorm of the year.

occurred near the city on Main street
and the other in the northern part of
the city, west of the New Mexico Milf

main was broken in several places and
as a result, the pavement will have TO

can be repaired. City Manager Arthur

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiEEl
Paris, Dec. 30.-In addI essing the
chamber of deputies last night, Pre-
mier Clemenceau made it plain that
it was his intention to support Great
Britain in the peace negotiations on
the question of the freedom of the
seas, and he declared that his attitude
in this matter was approved by Presl-
dent Wilson.
The premier told. the chamber that
if pilots were to be changed, now
was the time to change, but the depu-
ties gave him a vote of confidence by
$50 to 134. Premier Celemenceau eX-
planned the peace situation as 1t con-
cerned France, Great Britain and the
United States and his explanations APP
peared to fully satisfy all except the
unified socialists, who repeatedly in
terrupted him in manner when
President Deschanel characterized as
indecent" Premier Clemenceau SAID
that his conversations with President
Wilson had been profitable although,
he added, II should not be telling the
truth If | said | had always been in
agreement with him ON all points.

trum to elaborate the subject, / would

does not mean we are not working
hard to prepare line of action for
the peace congress,
The premier earlier had expressed
the belief in the inefficiency of the
old system of alliances, called "the
balance of power but indicated that
he was not opposed to league of ma
tons Such a league. he said, might
he organized at about the time the
treaty of peace was completed.
1t is understood that the text of the
premier's speech will be telegraphed
to President Wilson.
The chamber completed considefa-

jority. The deputies will meet again
at o'clock Tuesday morning to dis
cuss the revision of the electoral lists
