French, with whom they were
fighting, while the German cas-
ualty toll was eleven killed, three
wounded, while the remainder
were captured.
Stories of the fight in the Ar
come Forest, and the splendid en-
durance and valiant fighting Of
the Colored soldiers continue to
come in. II is reported that a
company of the old Ninth Ohio
Battalion, under command of it's
Colored captain from Dayton O.,
laid in an open field all night,
awaiting orders to go into action !;
while all the time the Germans
were dumping 210 shells and SO
machine gun fire into them. But
even in the face of such a MUIR
derous fire, the Colored line stood
as firm as if the huge shells and
murderous machine gun fire was
but the discharge of toy blow
guns. Among their casualty was
Anderson Lee and William Che
nault, of Dayton, who were killed.
The firmness of the line these kha-
ki-garbed black soldiers maintain
ed in the face whitening fire
a veritable hell, constitutes one
more reason why the folks-the
race back home should be proud
of these, their Colored soldiers
over here, whose unyielding spirit
and bravery is making history for
the race.
| have learned that Hill 304,
which the French so valiently
held, and which suffered such a
fierce bombardment from the Ger
mans that there is not a single foot
of it but what is plowed up by
shells, and whose sides, even to.
day, are literally covered with the
corpses of French soldiers who
still lie where they fell, was later
as valiently held by the Colored
soldiers from the United States
who fought with all the heroism
and endurance the best traditions
of the army has chronicled. The
Colored soldiers, under their own
captain from Dayton, Ohio, who
so splendidly maintained their
line in the Argonne Forests, and
those who held that bloody and
forever historical Hill 304, had the
odds aainst them, but like Tenny-
sons immortalized six Hun
dred," they fought bravely and
well" frmed in the belief it was
not theirs to reason why. It was
their s to do and die, q" and, like
the patriots they We're, they did
DO, and this wars history will SC
record.

was exercising the horse which he
had harnessed to cart. Each time
the owner had taken the horse out on

last night the speeding element was
more evident. In trying to keep the
animal down ii is feared blood YES

no harness check was worn. The
horse plunged into the ditch which
broke its neck and threw the driver

The horse was valued about 5000.

new HEATING PLAN
VERY ECONOMICAL
Gas and Coal Burned To-
gether Give a Perfect
Fire

The latest scheme for conservation
Of coal also acts as a saver OF gas
and not only has the endorsement OF
]. Walter Barnes in his capacity as
Fuel Administrator but has his endor-
sement as one Of the commissioners
OF the city of Fairmont, which Is
about to place couple OF combina-
ton gas and coal furnaces in the
pumping station. The new method
provides for the use OF coal and gas
together by means of a patented bur-
ner made by the Sanitary Manufactur-
ing Company. of Pittsburg, W. A
WeidebuSch, OF the Fairmont Plumb
ing Company. and NJ. c. Tough, who
handled the Marvel gas furnace in
Fat-mont, have the local agency and
now have it on demonstration at the
Fairmont Plumbing Company's shop
on First street, with r. II. Geiger, OF
the company, here to explain its work
ings.
The plan IS to burn coal and gas to-
Sether. A stove burns coal with a
spray of gas on top OF it and produces
10 smoke. A number of big users in
Fairmont have manifested an interest
in the demonstration. Those VINO are
opposed to the smoke nuisance are al
SO strong for the invention. The pos
sibilities in this vicinity are empnasiz-
ed by those who have given the burn
ers attention. They are said to cut
the amount OF coal used in hale aud
require but 5000 feet OF gas to ton
OF coal. The scheme saves fuel, saves
labor and saves smoke.
The burners have been installed at
the Gore Hotel in Clarkshurg. at St.
Mary'S Hospital in that city. one has
been ordered for the Waldo hotel in
Clarksburg and two are to be Installed
at the Troy Laundry in Fairmont.

A WOkAN'S SUCCESS
\ IN RESEARCH WORK

Mrs. Lillian A. Turner of St. Paul,
Mimi, the only Negro student to re-
ceive q degree from the University
of Minnesota this year, was one\ Of
the twenty-three students recently
elected to Phi Beto Kappa, the hon
orary academic fraternity. This is the
first time that this university has con-
ferred such an honor on student of
our race, therefore this election marks
the beginning of new era for Negro
students who may enroll in the uni
versity. They may always have hope
that true merit will be recognized.
Mrs. Turner finished her academic
work in three and half years with
the degree of Bachelor of Arts with
honors, a degree requiring a higher
general average and more intensive
work than the straight Bachelor Of
Arts degree. On the basis Of the ex-
cellency of her thesis Mrs. Turner
was sent by the department. of An
thropology and Sociology OF the Uni
versity to do research work at Will
berforce University. Since her return
Mrs. Turner has been doing intensive
work in the graduate school of the
University of Minnesota.

June 21.-The Americans squeezed
the Germans out of a salient kilo-
meter (two-thirds of a mile) deep and
the same distance in width, west Of
Torcy (six miles northwest of Chateau
Thierry).
The Germans did not remain to fight.
after they were struck by barrage,.
and when the infantry went forward
there was no one to oppose them.
German casualties in the fighting in
this sector are now estimated at 500,
killed and 5000 wounded.
Private James A. Donohue, who was
taken prisoner some days ago, escaped
and rejoined his company. He declared
other American prisoners are com
PEELED by the foe to work in the

Germans burying their dead, 20 to a.
grave, in crosswise layers.
