The American troops encountered
a violent machine gun fire every
where along the front. From pplEon-
ers taken there are Indications that
the enemy IL throwing everything
into the battle In a confused way.
The prisoners arc frequently unable

In other cases they reveal that divi-
sions. regiments and even companies
have been dissolved and again
formed into new units
Yesterdays attack from the Meusa
% the Argonne Forest developed
slowly and until afternoon threat
ened TO be abortivo. At tpe start the
Germans were able to pour in such a
rain of machine gun bullets ard
shells from light and heavy artillery
that the Americans made virtually
no advance at ALL especially In tho
centre OF the line.
German opposition was neaVy
everywhere except on the extreme
risht Of the American line, whore the
troops we're able to advance slowly
up the river. They worked their way
into Cunel Wood. taking nfiy live
willing prisoners In the forest north
OF the Cunol- Briculles road.
On the other hand. tho troops on
the left had the stiffest kind OF lght-
ing in to.day's advance. They found
themselves held up south OF st. Juvin
by concentrated machine gun ana
artillery FIRE from Hin 49,. northeast
OF tho town.
The Americans pushed forward In
spite OF everything and began an en-
circling movement to take Hill lS2.
They forced their way across the 81.
Georges-St. Juvin road and moved
through Negrcmont woods under the
heaviest fire and fighting every step
OF the way. The American artillery
opened fire on Hin is2 while the In
fantry advanced on either side Of this
commanding position, creating what
might be termed the st. Juvin- Cham
pigneulla salient This was oblhorated
later in the afternoon when the Ger
mans retreated from st. Juvin and
abandoned tho hill.
More severe fighting took place in
the centre. where tho troops were at
first unable TO advance from the po-
sition gained yesterday between Ma
melle trench and Romogne. II was
past l o'clock in the afternoon be-
fore the American artillery had partly
Silenced the German opposition and
swept with hrc the treacherous un-
derbrush about the wood that the
Americans got under way.

SURVIVORS WARNED REscUERs
NOT TO RETURN.

So serious. in fact, that those
gallant men on board the otranto
shouted TO the equally gallant mon
on the Mounsey not to risk
destruction again, Reluctantly,
with his overloaded and crippled
craft, Lieut.. Craven sheered off,
the Mounsey loaded to the aun-
wales with her human freight and
the laborsd seas washing her
decks from stem to stern.
The men remaining on the Otranto
cheered the destroyer as she got clear
and shouted their dying "farewells =, "
hoping, doubtless, that the Otranto
might hold together until fresh help
might come down out Of the storm.
But the Otranto's sailors and tho
Mounsey's crew knew better, for the
vessel was being forced further and
further ashore ON the rocks and was
doomed speedily to break up.
Capt. Davidson stood erect on the
bridge as the destroyer drew away
one survivor said:
"AS we drew away from the
otranto we could see Davidson
standing on the bridge smokinu
handkerchief farewell, while tho
gN'S' fSeN
ina death, struck up the song
'ooodby, Don't Cry
"On reacning port we heard tha,
thirty-seven of the Otranto's men Got
away on a life raft and were picked
up, but this has not been confirmed. '
The destroyer started away in heI
desperate condition. The men sh!
had saved were SO crowded that most
OF them could not sit down. and tn.
case Of the injured was terrible
They could hardly be reached througl
the dense crowds, and the surgeor
from the Otranto was down with tn
influenza, SO no skilled treatment foI
their wounds was possible.
The destroyers wireless had
been smashed when she was
thrown against the otranto, so
she could not summon help and
there was nothing that could be
done except to make for the near
ost port. Owing to her heavy
load. her injuries and tho heavy
storm the destroyer could log only
eight knots, and II was ten hours
before she reached port.

BRAVE sgAMeN TO THE RESCUE

In the teeth OF the tremendous gale,
there came dashing down through tho

The task Of getting tho men of

hazard, ss the big t2.o0o'ton liner
was rising and falling with every
wave. and il was impossible to
launch iifeboats because Of the

MAY BE SETTING STAGE
FOR DECISIVE BATTLE

Washington Behind the apparent
lull in the struggle around the Aisne-
Marine salient the high command OF
the allied and German armies may be
setting stage for the decisive battle OF
the war. In that event 1t seems more
than likely to observers here that
the fourth anniversary of the begin
ming OF the world conflict will see
fame of fighting raging from east OF
Rheims to the North sea; but with the
crucial conflict in progress somewhere
Just north of the historic Marine where
the Germans have twice tasted the
bitterness of defeat.
There is nothing as yet In unofficial
reports. however, nor in official ad
vices so far as known, to show the
plan of General Foch. Flickers OF
fighting have occurred to the north
that may have more than local signlfi-
canoe behind them. There is some
evidence OF feeling here that the
time has not yet come when a suffi-
cient American army has been assem-
bled in France to warrant passing def
inltely to offensive tactics. II was
recalled that General March recently
indicated to members of Congress that
this was not to be expected until later
in the year The situation has chang
ed greatly at the front since then.

will show what decision has been
