With the American Army
West of the Mouse, Sept. %
e P. M.)-The bitterest fight
ing of this new offensive de-
veloped today when the Ger
mans rushed up fresh troops
and brought their heavy artil-
lery and machine guns into
play in a desperate attempt to
stop our advance.
The enemy's principal effort
was a heavy counter attack
down the plain west of the
Meuse. It was an effort to
smash and drive back our right
and center and thus hold up
the advance on our TANKS.
The counter attack was
launched at 1880 o'clock this
morning.
The Germans tried to arrest
our advance up the Aire VAL
ley, throwing in a new divi-
sion when we Jumped off" at
q o'clock this morning and
heavily reinforcing their ma
chine gun defence there as well
as in the Argonne.
There was also stiffened re-
sistance on our right flank, with
machine gun and heavy artil-
lery fire from the guns east of
the Meuse.
Our men, struggling up
through the mud, often splen-
didly assisted by tanks, beat
off the counter attacks in the
river valley and progressed at
some points, notably on the ex-
IRENE left in the Argonne.
The most violent artillery
fire accompanied today's bat
tie.
Our operations proceeded
and are proceeding success
fully,

The setting up OF the tents attarct-
ed keen interest from passing crowds
in West Broad street and many wild
guesses were made as to the cause
for such extraordinary activity.
Spanish influenza was the uninno-
cent cause OF quick change of plans

with their approval he directed that
the soldiers-to- be should go into the

into small groups, give them the adj
vantage of more fresh air and, il is

parents of students may rest assured
that any OF the young men who get
sick will receive the best of treatment
and care which the government can
possibly provide. They will be sent
promptly to the former college plant,
now great government hospital
where conditions for recovery are
ideal and where. owing to the fact
that the hospital has few patients,
they will receive every attention which
can benefit them
