RAWIINsoN CONGATULATES 3OTII
DIVISION ON VICTORY.
Docfles Said to Have Run Like Rab-
bits Before the Thirtieth Division.

With the Anglo Forces on the Va
lenciennes Front, Oct. 12.-(By the
Associated Press. Gen. Sir Henry
Raw]inson, commanding the British
Fourth army, with which an Ameri-
ca division is operating. has sent to
the general commanding the division.
comprising troops from Tennessee
and the Carolinas, the following tele-
gram:
"On this occasion I desire to convey
20 you and all the members Of the
staff. as well as all other ranks Of
divisions my heartiest congratulations
on your victory. The gallantry OF
your infantry and the precision with
which the staff arrangements worked
fill me with admiration and it has
given me great pleasure to report
your unqualified success to Field Mar
shall Sir Douglas Haig.
The Thirtieth division, composed OF
North Carolina and South Carolina
and Tennessee National Guardsmen
has been mentioned frequently OF
late in British official statements anc
dispatches from the front as taking
prominent part in the fighting in the
Valenciennes area. This division
captured st. Souplet, Fremont ano
several other towns, and one occa-
sion, Associated Press dispatches from
the front, said the Boches ran away
like rabbits before the Thirtieth. Tbs
division trained at Camp Sewer
Greenville, S. c.
Americans and British troops cap
tured in the Bohain region what wa
probably the largest enemy alnmunl
ton dump ever taken. The shells
piled high, covered large area. Thl
capture will greatly reduce the guam
tity Of ammunition available to thu
Germans on this section Of the front.

American troops thought themselves,
safer aboard the larger vessel. THIS:
was fatal to many of them.
The victims are to be collected at
the most suitable place and burieo5
there. A boat left Liverpool tooay
with material for coffins, SO laoorers
and carpenters and chaplains to con-
duct the funerals. The grave or ev-s
cry man will be marked and cnart-s
ed.
There were few cases among the
dead where identification was delay
ed. Every man had worn an ident1-;
fcation tag on his wrist or neck Duss a.s
in some instances these were torn on on
and it was necessary to take hnsers
prints Of the men. ..-.--i.-l.--..ss
