NEW YORK IRJjPS
FIND LACEMENT
FOR TWO BIG GUNS
Believed Discovery in Argonre
Forest Was Austrian Boss
Ammunition Gone.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
SOUTHWEST OF vERDUN. Thurs
day, Oct. 3 ASSOCIATED Press). Two
concrete empiacements for big guns
were discovered west OF varennes
when New York troops advanced
along the eastern edge of the Ar
gonne Forest a few days ago. The
guns had been removed, but engineers
believe that they were Austrian So5's.
The emplacements were 100 yards
apart and apparently we're built more
than a year ago. A railroad had
been constructed leading up to them
and this enabled the enemy to re-
move the guns, ammunition and
everything OF value.
French and American heavy ar
ullery battered the enemy positions
throughout the entire region alons
this front, and II is believed that the
Germans made haste in removing the
big guns as soon as they saw that a
serious attack was impending.
DlE guns WtTe sCAtttltu biiOubh
the Argonne Forest and from day 10
day have been taken by the advan-
cling New York soldiers. Among them
were two 1908 and several IT'S. The
forest has been thoroughly searched
for these guns by the American
troops.
Many OF tho roads leading from the
Argonne Forest to Montfaucon and TO
Malancourt have been found TO be
barred by concrete pillars as pre-
caution against the operation OF Al
lied tanks. At safe distances behind
these pillars anti-tanA gun positions
have been found. These in many
places were built q concrete. The
pillars have all the appearance of
having been built recently. N many
places the wood frames for holdlns
the concrete in place not having been
removed. These concrete positions
were. for the most part, behind the
main line defensive positions through
which the Americans broke during
the present drive.
