The village Of vaux is less than two
miles west Of Chateau Thierry. Hill
1q2 is about mile northwest Of Clerem-
beut wood.
The advance was made on a front of
three kilonecers IS63 miles) and
reached a maximum Of a ldlometer 6621
miles). Before the advance the Ameri-
can guns swept the back area Of the
German lines. completely neutralzing
German artillery.
The concentrating fire on Naux hit
every building When the troops reach
ed the town they found their maps more
valuable than their Photographic infor-

any resemblance to houses. Twenty
three minutes after their departure from
their trenches the Americans were in

Snow Brings Back Old,
Fashioned Sled Parties

With the snowfall of the past few
weeks the old-fashioned sleighing
parties of the not-so-long-ago are
again coming back" Remember
when you and 1 were youngsters
what good times we used to have
when, with that old sweetheart Of
ours we bundled up in an old bob
sled and were driven out somewhere
in the country for a god old chicken
and waffle supper? Good times?
Well L guess.
This winter is bringing back the
days of long ago and sleighing part
les are more numerous than for a
number of years back. Going out
into the country with a chicken and
waffle supper at the end certainly
winds up the end of a perfect day."
And there is no better place for that
supper than the CoXestown Hotel
up along the river. The drive to
this hotel, while not so long, is per-
fectly safe, it being along a well
driven road. The suppers served are
right up to date; any number of
people can be accommodated. Tur-
key suppers can be had also. In
order to be sure of tables it is a
wise thing to call up on the phone
and make a reservation for your
party.
