or semi-fire-proof, capable of housing
not less than 500. and preferably 1.00C
sick. There should be suitable build
ings on the grounds or in the vicinity
to accommodate the hospital staff of
nurses, commissioned and enlisted
1t is Appropriated that $50 persons
are connected with the staff of a hos
pital caring for 1000 patients.
The government has inquired Of the
local war industries board in regard
to location in this region, and If a
place can be found a commission now
touring the country in behalf of the
proposition will be sent to the sub
regional headquarters in this city to
consider the conditions

lacks as did the Americans against
the eastern border of the Argonne
forest and further east toward the
Meuse. The enemy yesterday brought
several new divisions into the fight.
Between Auberive and Somme-Py
we repulsed often repeated attacks
and northwest of Somme-Py we stop
ped assaults which were repeated
nine times. Further east Manre and
Ardeuil remained in the enemy's
hands. In the evening after the re-
pulse of the enemy we stood on the
line north of Ardeuil north of Sech-

American forces also stormed with
especial force against the eastern
border of Argonne wood and against
our front between the wood and the
Mouse. Their assault collapsed On
both sides of the Aire valley we took
from the enemy Apremont and the
wood of Montrebeau and threw the
Americans back more than kilo-
metre.
I'VE shot down forty-five enemy air
planes yesterday"
