GREATEST BATTLE WORL
WORLD HAS EVER seen
Coal Field Boys Are Heroes in Fight
In ArgOnne

Wilkersbarre, Pa - Gallant boys
from the coal fields, members of the
One Hundred and Ninth field artillery,
now doing service overseas, displayed
such GOODNESS and courage in the
heat the great battle i nthe Argonne
forest that Col. Asher Miner, COM
mander, has recommended many OF
the officers and men for the distin-
guished service war medal.
In nerve and darging, in the display
of real fighting, in the war game oil
Hunting the Hun, the field boys
stand second to none in the great
army of Uncle Sam. In the advances
withdrawals, and in caring for their
dead and dying the boys of the One
Hundred and Ninth have won a glor-
ious place in the sun. Their acts OF
bravery and heroism are written in
blood on the stained fields east of the
Meuse river b.
Col. Miner, himself injured in bat
tie, has sent to Gen. Pershing his list
of recommendations setting forth the
deeds performed for which he believes
the men should be cited for bravery
Col. Miner, in describing the Ar
come fight, refers to it as zone of the
greatest battles the world has ever
seen, If not the greatest" In this bat
tie Col. Miner and lieut.. o. F. Har-
very were wounded. Copies of that
communication received here are as
follows:

midst of one of the greatest battles the
world has ever seen, if not the great

"The boche shells are falling near.
In short time the batteries which
are not far back, will start a barrage,
which we hope will carry us forward
four more kilometers in addition to
the twelve kilos we have already
taken. The French infantry reinforce

were covered with mud, stones, and

joyed an auto trip to Morgan City
over the gravel roads to attend a
meeting of the committee of the
Third Congressional District.
They left here during the early
morning and made the run
in about two hours. The entire
trip under moss-dovered oaks
along that thoroughfare was Ell
jOyed and the scenery at this sea-
son Of the year was never pref
tier. While at Morgan City they
visited the immense government
ship yards and saw for them
selves the great activity now ex-
isting in that progressive little
city. One immense ship bad al
ready been launched and on
Thursday, the 4th, another was
shot out into the water almost
ready to sail as a part Of our mer-
chant marine. As a consequence
of the activity of the energetic
people Of that community the cit
liens there have never enjoyed
such prosperity. Morgan City Is
now destined to become a city Of

joyed few minutes visit at the

were much impressed with the
