Of the hardest fighting of the war II

which they plunged. They fought day
and night in groups and single.handsd,
In and out Of shell holes. They showed
gallantry, self.sacrifice and devotion
to duty unsurpassed by any other
troops.
From the instant they leaped from
their trenches they ran into SHIPPERS
and hordes of machine guns. German
Infantrymen, spurred on by their Off
GERS, stood up before them offering
hand-to-hand combat
Some Of the stories Of the men who
fought tell of the terrific nature Of the
struggle. One Brooklyn regiment took
and retook position known as the
knoll" three times. The battle swung
back and forth with the men SO close
to each other that rifle butts were just
as effective as anything else.
On the first assault the Americans
rushed forward and suddenly met
masses Of machine guns which we.o
eamouflaged and held their fire until
the Americans were close upon them.
The Americans went right on and
were on top of the guns before they
began firing. The Germans did not
continue their murderous work long.

and a stab OF flame from a rifle aud

and the Americans plunged on.
A Brooklyn captain was isolated IN

envy machine gun nearly poured hot
fire into the party. Finally the captain
was wounded, and ordered his ser.
geant to take the men away and save
themselves. The sergeant started, but
after the men had crawled few feet
on all-fours the sergeant asked them:
II think 1t Is bad to go away and
leave the captain. Do you fellows
want to go back and stay with him?"
All answered in the affirmative and
they crept back and rejoined the cap

Victory Ball to Aid Child Institute

These little children have been

young mother as one of its victims.
They have not yet been told that
they will never again see their
mother, and, although they miss
her, they are happy and contented
in their new home at the Child Saw

are doing their utmost to make
life easy for the unfortunate little
children.
The girl is six years old. She
has beautiful dark brown eyes. soft
brown hair and pretty, regular fea-
lures and her voice has Tilt like

Little brother is only two years

These are only two of the many
little children who are given loving

1t is a clearing house for babies who
are the victims of unkind circum-

little tots at the institute most of
the time and staff of 20 good wo-
men is kept busy caring for them.
Sometimes babies only few days
old are taken to the institute. De-
pendent children under IL years are
admitted but the general plan is to
have only children under school

bring home diseases to the babies.
There are no hard and fast rules in
