CHAPTER XV.

Each day in the Argonne levied it's toll of victims. sometimes many, some times only a few. It Is only natural that the morale of the soldiers should moi be ut is best under these circum- stances. With the same indifference that the men had once gone to their work to support their wives and chil- drcn they now went into action. This business of killing had become daily routine. Whenever we discussed our situation. the crown prince and the commander of the Sixteenth army corps, Lieutenant General yon Aiudra, fared worst.
 The troops in the Argonne forest be- lonEed to the Sixteenth corps. the 1hir- ty-third and Thirty divisions. Neither the crown prince nor Non Mud ra had ever been seen in the trenches.

Ese next day Ne received orders To march 10 an unknown destination. We soon arrived al the depot of Apremont where We were obliged 10 wait. The depot had been destroyed. The next station was Chatcl Both of these places are about five kilometers behind the front
 The prisoners were assembled in Apremont. Several of them had come from that town. Their families were still in their homes ana many prisoners asked permission to visit them. had occasion to witness such a visit in Ap- remoHt. Two reserves led one of the prisoners to the house, which he had pointed out as his. The prisoners young wife was in the kitchen with her three children. We followed them into the house
 The woman turned pale as she sud denly saw her husband. They em- braced. We went outside for we felt out of place there.
 The woman had not had a letter from her husband for five months be- cause the Germans were between her and her husbands army He had been in the trenches for q month, realizing how nearby his wife and children were yet unable to reach them and with no way ef knowing whether they were alive or dead

Enormous forces of artillery were being mobiHzcd. New guns continued to arrive eFpry day and were installed without going into action. The trans portatlon of munitions and material vas also very brisk. We did not Susz pect at this time that this WAS the first preparation for q great offensive.
 After four weeks iH thIs vicinity we were sent to another part of the front once more without being told oar des- tination. We marched away and in the afternoon we arrived at Dun-Sur Mouse.
 Hardly had we entered the town when the German crown prince, accom- panied ny several officers and a large pack of hunting dogs rode by.
 Good morning, pioneers !" he called out to us.
 Then he inspected our unit closely He spoke to our captain, after which one of the officers of his staff took us to n Red Cross establishment where we were banqueted and given wine.
 The Headquarters of the Hohenzol- Tern heir were located at Dun-sur- Mouse. The ladies of the Red Cross treated us cordially. We asked them If all passing troops were as well treat ed as We had been.
 "Oh. yes" u young woman answered but only few come here. The crown prince, however has an especial at tachment for the pioneers
 We were quartered over night. Sol diers told us that Dun-Sur-Mcuse was the headquarters of the Fifth army There were gay times in the town, with an open-aIr concert every day The off COTS often received women visitors from Germany.
 After a hard march We arrived at fhe front positions. In workable labyrinth ef treHrhe@. filed with HaIcr We had the utmost difficulty finding 1gr way aaoBt. Finally we arrived al .he very front.

Dead and wounded men lay among l the branches and the trees everywhere OH the ground Every aan who was able to run sped forward 10 reach the
 enemy trench as quickly as possible. A part of the enemy defended itself des- i Ferate5E in trench filled with water ] and mud. 4 terrible hand-to-haud fight resulted. We stood In water up to our ] knees.
 Men, severely wounded. lay in the
 mud, holding their mouths and noses
 above the water. During the fighting
 they were trampled more deeply into i the dirt under our feet for we could
 not see where we were going; we could
 only Troll up" the entire trench.
 The section won was fortified with all possible haste. once more we had Iaegured at heavy cost in human life
 few meters of the ArgoHne forest. ! This treach, which we took, had changed hands many times and even
 now we were preparing for the usual counter-attaeks.
 Presently the "iackasses" went into
 action. The "iackasSes" are tie guns
 of the French mountain artillery They were so named because they were | drawn by mules. They are guns of flat 1 trajectory, kept from DO to LOO meters behind the enemy lines. The shells from these cannon flew directly over
 our heads and cut their way through the branches at high rate of speed. Because of the high velocity of the
 shell and the short distance it travels
 the detonation when the shot Is fired
 and the noise of the explosion, sound
 almost at the same instant. These
 "jackasses" are greatly feared by the German soldiers because they are kept working day and night.
 It was winter and very cold. The trenches had been filled with water and were now nothing except deep ditcheS of mud. Under these condi-
 tions. through the ice-cold nights. our routine consisted of 4S hours duty and 12 hours rest. Every week d storm ing attack was made, the success of which was entirely out of proportion to the enormous losses. In all of the four months l was in the Argonne for ests we gained 400 meters. The fol lowing data will indicate how heavy price was paid in lives for this little piece of France.
 Each regiment had its own ceme-
 tery. There was the One Hundred and Forty-Gfth infantry regulars, the Sixty seventh, and One Hundred and Seven ty-tuird infantry regulars and the One Hundred aal Tlfth Hirseh- berg battalion. On the day we were re- feved from duty in the Argonpe for ests there were more dead in these cemeteries than there were survivors

Lingerie May Win the War,
Fuel Official Declares

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Lingerie, ladies,
may win the war. The latestin-
Chicago is that the United States has
called on the fair sex to don warmer
well, now, it is rather hard to be
explicit. but anyway here's the story
1t seems that Chicago landlords
have been saving coal. Hundreds of
complaints have been made to the
fuel administration about no heat in
the bathroom and so forth.
While Fuel Administrator Raymond
Durham admits it may be patriotic
to save coal. at the same time it isn't
patriotic for a landlord to give his
tenants influenza. The fuel adminis-
tration has issued a signed state
ment in which it discusses lingerie.
1t says:
MANY of the unreasonable demands
by tenants for more heat are due to
the improper dress of women who, If
properly clothed with (full length un-
dergarments, with full length sleeves)
and buttoning up to the neck would
not require heat when the tempera-
ture is as high as 6S to.70 degrees
in the morning and evening and 70
degrees or more in the middle of the
day"
