BATTLE OF MARINE,
THIRD IN THE WAR,
ANOTHER FOEROUT

Thirty-four days ago the second
battle Of the Marne resulted in a de-
feat for the Germans, even as the
FIRST was one. The third battle OF the
Marine, which began yesterday, re-
suited not only in checking the on
coming waves of boehes, but in the
capture of Germans, German guns
and the throwing back across the his
toric river of the attackers. And even
as he played leading parts in the hrst
and second battles of the Marine, so
IL General Foch prominent in this.
The battle of 1914 seemed a for
1orn\hope for the allies. By the frst
days of September the armies OF Cen
erals Won Kluck, Won Bulow, Won
Hansen, Duke Albrecht Of Wurtem-
berg and the imperial crown prince
which had invaded France through
Belgium and Luxembourg, had forced
their way to the Paris-Verdun line
with the opposing Anglo-French re-
tarding their advance as much as
possible until the allies strength
could be Unanswered into a position
where General Joffre would be justi-
ned in assuming the offensive.
His selected position lay in gen
eral way behind the River Marine. and
upon reaching it the French COM
rnander began a new disposition Of
his forces, shifting his center east
ward. This move caused an unex-
pected change in the enemy's plans.
General Won Kiuck. commanding the
right wing of the invaders, was
marching directly toward Paris; but
he suddenly swerved to the south
east, in order to keep his main
strength opposed to that of the al
lies left wing. It was more imme-
annfhflatn the
French and British than to capture
the capital. That could wait until his
opponents had been crushed
1t was on September Z that Won
Kluck crossed the Marne above
Meaux, leaving, however, strong
force on the west bank of the Ourcq
to protect his right flank. HIS cav
airy was at Crecy and his corps eN-
tended to the west Of Montmirail, on
the Petit NORM East of him Won
BuIow had reached a line on the
plateau OF Sezanne, and Won Hausen's
troops filled a gap between Won Blu
low and Marne, at a point just north
of Vitry. Duke Albrecht had dis
posed his forces along the entire
southern end OF the plain Of Chalons,
TO q point south of Ste. Menehould,
on the upper streams OF the Aisne.
The imperial crown prince extended
the line over the forest OF Argonne
to the west and south of Verdun.
JOnre's Objective.
It was this formidable front that
General Joffre determined to attack
in the hope OF driving il from French
soil On the extreme allied left was
the Sixth French army, composed
largely of reserves. 1t had been or
ganized under the direction OF Cen
eraI Pau and d'Amade, but the leader
ship had been transferred to General
Maunoury. Orders were given for
this army to move from the northern
fortihcations OF Paris to the Marine
and pivot at that rivers confluence
with the 0urcq at Meaux until IL ex-
Lsnded along the course Of and west
Of the latter stream as far as BetZ,
threatening Won kluck's right flank.

STUDENT SELF-HELP AT
DELAWARE COLLEGE
Two Ways of Meeting Local
Situation

In order to enable every student
in Delaware College to remain
after the rehabilitation of the S.
A. L. e., the Faculty appointed a
Committee of Student Self-Help.
The Committee consists of Profess
Sor G. E. Dutton as Chairman. and
Professors G. A. koerber and c..
A. McCue. The aim of the Com
mlttee is to find profitable employ
ment for every man who is strug-
gllng to get an education. This
committee was originally organ
lzed by Professor H. E. Tiffany.
and did a fine work for MANY
promising men of limited means.
Professor Dutton has started en-
ergetically to meet the needs of
the students. He is receiving daily
applications from deserving men
for work, and will be glad to learn
OF positions such as the young men
can fill in Newark, in Wilmington.
and on nearby farms and indus
tries.
Another means of helping men
to continue in College is the Stu
dent Loan Fund. From this Fund
a loan of one hundred dollars is
made to students in need, if they
have been in College at least one
year and provided they are worthy.
This Fund was started by the late
Colonel Lewis W. Mustard, of
Lewes. Delaware and was taken up
by Mr.. Josiah Marvel of Whining
ton and put upon a sound, perma-
nent, working basis.

Soldiers Receive
Congressional Medal

Three American soldiers "a
colonel, a captain and a private
have been designated by President
Wilson to receive the highest
military decoration given by the
United States for valor in action,
the Congressional Medal of Honor.
They have won the first of the
medals awarded during the war
with Germany and their names
are:
Colonel Charles w. Whittlecsey.
308th Infantry.
Captain George G. McMurtry.
Private Thomas c. Neibaur.
Colonel Whittlessey, then major,
and Captain McMurtry were at the
head of the famous lost battal-
ion" of the 30Sth, which lost half
its men holding out against the
enemy when surrounded in the
Argonne forest until relieved five
days later. Private Neibaur dis
tinguished himself when the Rain
bow division took Cote de Chatil-
lion in October by stopping an
enemy charge against a ridge sin
gle handed with his autamatic
after all other of his patrol de-
tachment had been killed or
wounded. In spite of wounds
through both knees, he completed
the exploit by bringing in eleven
Germans at the point of his pistol.

presents, the average person lacks
the courage to face his family
empty-handed on Christmas morn
ing. But Christmas is spirit,
which you either have or haven't.
If you haven't it, the holidays are
only bore; ON the other hand, if
you allow yourself to bee me en-
thusiastic there is really a lot of
fun to be derived from it, even
though you're lonely and away
from home. Last year a travelling
man who was compelled to spend
Christmas away from his family
in a strange city gathered a num-
ber Of little tenement waits to-
gether, took them into a large
restaurant and treated them all to
a Christmas dinner. II never had
80 much fun in my life" declared
the travelling man.

LIGHTNING DIVISION
MADE GOOD
Newark Boys in Battle of
Crandpre

William Stiltz. Puzey Pember-
ton, Al Foster and Jos. McFall are
members of the famous Lightning
Division cited recently for extra
ordinary bravery in action, the ac-
count of which follows:
Five times boys of the 18th, the
lightning Division," which or
ganized at Camp Dix, attacked and
captured the citadel Of Grandpre.
in the ArgOnne forest, in the face
Of the most stubborn resistance
and five times were they compelled
to retire IN the face Of fierce
counter-attacks. On the sixth
charge, with Colonel \. V. P. And
c"soa gassed and many Of their Of
fccrs killed or wounded. the 312th
Regiment tc-k aad held the fort
res, despite the desperate efforts
Of the Hun to d.s.cdgc them. The
fight, described by returned Off
GERS Of the division and in letters
reaching Camp DIX, is said to have
been lot only coe Of The most
heroic of the Arg2n2e campaign,
but also one Of the most spectacu-
,ar, as the brave mon in each
charge had to use ladders to scale
a l4-foot wall around the fortress
and their rifles being useless under
these conditions, they made the at
tack with hand grenades.
Last reports from Colonel And
erson, who was recommended for
brigadier general following the
battle, We're to the effect, that, al
though scarcely able to talk above
a whisper, he was making a steady
recovery. He was gassed while en-
deavor!ng to protect his adjutanL
from q like fate. Letters from men
of his regiment praise his cool
courage in the fighting and his re-
Tnarkable care and thought for
them under all conditions.
No mention of his own part,
Newark post., 1918-12-11

however, is made in letter from
Colonel Anderson himself, who has
only praise for the courage of his
men. He refers to them as they
passed on review after their des-
perate campaigning: "They were
dirty from the skin out. They had
seen many things that were not
nice. They were covered with mud
from the tops of their tin hats to
the soles of their shoes; they were
soaked through and their guns
were dirty and rusty. But their
spirit was fine"

Pig Club Members in Contest

State Club Leader Theodore T.
Martin sends the following in
structions to Boys and Girls
Clubs and states that prizes will
be announced later:
To the Pig Club Members of the
Sow and Litter Project:
The pig has enriched more stock
men in this country than has any
other class of farm animals. The
brood-sow is the unit of produc-
tion and on most successful farms
has been pure bred. The quality
of the boar is even more important
than that of the brood SOW, so he
should also be pure bred. The real
profit in raising pure bred hogs
comes from raising litters of pure
bred pigs. Experience has shown
that the first litter of pigs can be
produced cheaper than any SUBJ
sequent litter. You have had ex-
perience in fedeing and caring fer
"a pure bred pig in the breeding
project and should now be prepar-
ed for the more difficult but more
interesting and more profitable
Sow and Litter Project.
Club Membership Requirements
for the Sow and Litter Con-
test:
/. Membership shall be limited
to boys and girls of Delaware be-
tween the ages Of 10 and 21 years.
2. Each member must have one
'or more sows that are at least
months of age which he or she
shall feed and care for, and shall
keep an up-to-date account, using
the Sow and Litter Record Book.
3. This contest shall begin in
December when the sow is mated
to a pure bred registered male. and
shall close when the litter of pigs
is weaned in June.
