the least indication of movement in
the American lines the Germans laid
down a barrage of such intensity as
is ordinarily used only preliminary TO
an offensive. Not content with their
artillery defense the Germans made
an extraordinary liberal use Of gas.
Thousands of gas shells both mustard
and lethal, were hurled into the rain
saturated woods and ravines through
which the Americans crept forward.
Although the gas clouds chung tena-
ciousIy to the ground the Americans
were not seriously l1ampered in their
general operations. Discipline and
experience have taught them the use
Of gas masks. ..
Airmen Help Some.
Heavy clouds and rain prevented
air men from giving material assis-
lance during the battle. In spite OF
the dfizzle, however, flying craft did
get over the lines late in the day.
They contributed somewhat to the
success of the advance, notwithstand-
ing the low visibility. Flying low
above the German lines they launch
ed heavy gusts of machine gun hre,on
the forces north OF the ertangleds wire
defenses. The roads, woods and 1elds
over which the men fought were soft
ened by the long rains and progress
was difficult. Nowhere, however, was
there any apparent reduction in the
spirits of the men.
The greater part of the resistance
east OF the Meuse was from machine
guns, but in spite OF them and the re-
inforced German lines the Americans
Strengthened their line between the
sivrey and the Magenta farm.
To the west of Romagne the Ger
mans had fortified one bit Of sunk
en- road with machine guns in such
manner that it was regarded neces~
sary to blast it away with two big
guns. The Germans had tunnelied
openings for machine guns through
the banks on the side of the road and
every little tunnel was lined with ce-
merf. All attempts to take this posi-
ton were fruitless unless the
machine guns were silenced by direct
hits.
Betw6en Rondagns ana Landres at
ST. George, ID q small hill covered with
woods and the fighting was extreme
1y fierce along its slope, to which We're
joined the barbed wide defenses that
stretched from Landres ct st. George
to st. George, a mile and half furth-
er west. There positions were de-
1uged with American shells but Were
stubbornIy defended by the Germans
who rolled along their front clouds
of gas and curtains of high explo-
sives and shrapnel shells.
Along the line from ST. Jlvin to 81.
Georges, more rapid progress was
made by iii general the operations
were confined almost entirely TO the
main decreases along the center Of
the lire.
During the. battle the Germans di-
rected 81 har8ssiilg fire on numerous
points back OF the American lines.

times as many. They are women
who can give one or two or three
hours or more from their own duties
and naturally cannot be on cali ev-
cry and all day, so that we need a
large number on our list
Fargo in many instances has not
awakened to the great need in its
midst of service. One man called at
The Forum office this morning with
an appeal for help. He told of
family Of FIVE, all sick with the dis
ease. The father died last night,
year ola child died this morning at
o'clock and the mother and two
other children are sick in bed. The
effort to get adequate help had
proved unavailing and one woman
had tended to the needs of these FIVE
patients, two of them fatally i'll.
during three days and three nights
without other assistance. There is
need In that family Of relief.
The clearing houses for those who
can work and those who are in
need OF help are the United States
employment service, Mrs. Mintie
Bowe, telephone 985, and the Nurses
Registry, telephone 1410. In both
places women with time at their dis
posal, who can put a room in order
and do the simple services required
by a patient, can be given work to
do. This is not a call for trained
nurses. .y--...
Another need brought on by the
epidemic is for bed linen and again
the housewives of the city are urged
by workers in the city to give Of their
stores to help out during the crisis.
Sheets, pillow cases, cotton blankets
and towels are in demand and may
be left at the rooms of the Public
Welfare association in the Edwards
building. Those who desire may have.
their bedding returned after the
epidemic If they will mark it plain
~. With SO many sick, no way for
providing for immediate washing of
the bed linen, the stores in many
families have been exhausted and the
first comfort of a bed patient a clean,
fresh bed is denied them. The office
OF the Public Welfare association
will act as a clearing house for these
gifts or loans of bedding. The need
is immediate.

has been taken by the allies. This
city, which before the war numbered
$4,000 inhabitants. is the first i'm

the Germans have been driven.
This morning, on the anniversary
OF the battle Of Jena, which was
fought Oct Ii. 1906, the battle
famed up along the Flanders front
and the FIRST days progress pives
reason for high hopes. Under the
command of King Albert of Belgium
the British, Belgian and French
armies attacked at 5:35 o'clock.
There was no artillery preparation
but the troops advanced under cover
OF a creeping curtain of fire Of ex-
/ treme power. The weather turned
fine and the troops progressed in a
most satisfactory way. Machine gun
nests were forced to surrender one
after another and at o'clock to-
night the advance amounted to four
miles In the direction Of Courtrai
for the British; four miles toward
Thielet for the French; and two and
half miles in the direction OF

eral Rhinow had issued orders that
no funerals should be public, but the
eollectiys nature OF many services
today brought together relatives and
friends of many families.
Only the bodies of those identified
were buried today . At Moose Lake
last night, a detail of men was en-
gagged in digging graves under or
ders of those In charge OF the relief
work there. One large grave was
made which late today received the

Moose Lake. ..,..ss
A single coffin contained an that
remained of the four members of
Frank PuiinslFs family. There was
no one to weep as the casket was
lowered into the ground. Every
member Of the family had been burn
ed to death when fleeing from their
home, and they had no relatives in
this country.
Relief work wac pushed RAPIDLY
during the day. Before the noon
hour twenty-five additional bodies
had been brought into Moose Lake
from the vicinity OF LAWYER. Relief
workers declared the further they
penetrated the interior OF the burned
waste, the more conservative ap-
peared the estimate Of 500 dead in
that section.
Early today. 30 bodies were
brought into Carleton. among them

IN the ruins of a school building.
A relief train is working into Clio

organized rescue work will begin

Minnesota amounts to $4,000 900 and
the insurance will total $25, 900, 900,
according to computations made to-
day by insurance men here. Their
estimate does not include the stand

which was destroyed, which was un-
insured and the concensus Of opinion
in insurance circles is that the losses

NAVY STARS TO
HOLD PRACTICE
Team that Pays Marines
Sunday to Be Selected
at Exhibition.

Great interest Is being aroused
among amateur baseball players
here because Of the game between
the Navy All-Stars and the Marine
Team from Quantico. to be played
at American League Park Sunday.
Many OF the best amateur ball
players OF this vicinity have enter
ed the service of Uncle Sam as sea-
men and yeomen in the Naval Re
serve Force. Many high school and
sandlot players OF local fame are
now wearing sailors uniforms. and
engaged in various branches OF ma
val war work in the departments
and stations in this vicinity. The
best ball players among these sailor
boys will be combined into q star
organization to meet the powerful
ouantico team at American League
Park, when play will be called for
the first game of the double bill at
: .. m.
In order to get practice. an ex-
hibition game will be staged be-
tween the two all-star mines on the
Ellipse on Wednesday afternoon, in
stead of the league game which
will be postponed for the occasion.
II will be Captain Matthews. Of s. &
A.. VS.. Captain Watt. Of Operations.
and a great game is expected by the
league players in general w. o.
Won Herbulis. the regular league
umpire. will oficiate in this exhi-
bition game, as well as in the games
at the park Sunday.
It is certain that a good game
will be played. as the opposing cap
tains will do their best to justify
their selections of star players.
From present Indications, there
will be a large crowd at the park
on Sunday. as much interest Is man
ifested in the game
