a kid:
And it rained-or snowed-and
you had to heed that doggoned bell

the smell of burning leaves and
close cropped fields, was the finest
season of the year. Halloween was
veritable climax of joy to the sum-
mer's fun and the autumn's hunting.
And you had good shoes, didn't
you? And if you didn't have em
didn't you want 'em? Doesn't kid
just need strong, thick, wet-proof
shoes about the most of all?
Sure he does.
Well, there are a lot of youngsters,
big and small girls and boys

and cold without proper footwear.
They were out yesterday, and the
day before, in the rain. They will be
on their way to school in the morn

face more rainy days, and frost and
wind and snow. and through it all

they can grow up to be the kind of

With High Explosive

With the American Army North

center Of the line west of the Meuse

lines. the bombardment at times
reaching the intensity of barrage,
but there was no further infantry

before St. Mihiel. The regiment be-
longs to the crack 18th German di-
vision. .
, Reserves Thrown In.
Violent enemy reactions continue
east of the Meuse and there has
been desperate fighting all along
the line. The American position
now runs through the clearing be-
tween the Belleau wood and the
Etraye wood. The enemy's determ-
nation to hold the high ground east
of the river is shown by the fact
that he has thrown in one of his
last remaining reserve divisions to
check the American advance in the
Belleau wood where the enemy is
counter attacking persistently.
The following document has been
captured:
The enemy's crossing of the
Meuse is to be prevented absolute
ly. Should he succeed in crossing
he is to be thrown back into the
Meuse at once. The enemy must
not get a foothold on this side of
the Meuse under any circum-
stances"
