Attack is Slow,

With the American Army North
west OF Eerdun, Friday, Oct. H.
!(By the Associated Press).-Todav's
attack from the Meuse to the Argen-
ne forest developed slowly and until
afternoon threatened to be abortive.
At the start the Germans were able
to pour such a rail- Of machine gun
bullets and shells from light and
heavy artillery that the Americans
made virtually no advance at, ALL. es-
pecially in the center of the line. Ger
man opposition was heavy every
where except on the extreme right
Of the American line where the troops
were able to advance slowly up the
river. They worked their way into
Cunel wood taking S. willing pris-
!Qners in the forest north of the Cune!-
Brieulles road.
On the other hand the troops on
the left had the stiffest kind DE- fight.
ing in today's advance. They found
themselves held up south Of st. JuHin
by concentrated machine gun and/ar-
tillery fire from hill 182 northeast of
the town. The Americans pushed
forward in spite Of everything and
began an encircling movement to
take hill 1872. They forced their way
and moved through Negremont
woods under the heaviest fire and
fighting every step Of the way. The
American artillery opened on hill 1872
while the infantry advanced on either
side of this commanding position,
creating what might be termed the
st. Juvin- Champignuelle salient. This
was o%bliterated later in the after
noon when the Germans retreated
from st. Juvtn and abandoned the
hill.
gwen more severe fighting took
place in the center where the troops
were at first unable to advance from
the position gained yesterday be-
tween Mamelle trench and/Romain.
The American artillery finally ST.
fenced the German opposition, swept
with fire the treacherous under
brush about the wood and advanced.
Two hundred Germans-athen sud
denly appeared in No Mans Land
with their hands raised as a token
of surrender.
The Americans pushed forward
notwithstanding counter attacks until
they passed through consenvoye
wood and had captured Molleville.
They stand tonight before the burn
ing towns of Landres ct St. Gorges
and st. Juvin.

OIL IS BIG FACTOR
Asset That Makes America I'm.
portant as War Power.
As Valuable to Cause Of Allies "a
American Men, Money and
Munitions.

WashingtOn.-If Americas men,
money and munitions did not cons.i-
tute a vital asset In the cause of the
allies against Germany, America would
still be a friend In need. If she could
not provide ships or steel she would
still constitute pillar of strength.
The reason? OIL.
America produces more oil than all
the rest Of the world. And ships, en-
gines, autos, and many other war fac
tors are using oil ns motive force.
OIL is needed as lubricant for all the
metals uscd In the prosecution of war.
Its uses are so varied and 30 vital,
Indeed, that oil constitutes another Of
those commodities without which the
war could not be won. :
In 1918, for which figures have been
complcted and Issued by the Amcri.
can Mining congress. the United Stntes
produced and marketed 2s1. .l04. 1O4
barrels Of crude petroleum. This com
prised 05.12 per cent. or almost two
thirds, nf the -ptire world production.
Other countries follow. Russia. 1903
per cent; Mexico, 7G0 per cent; Dutch
Fast Indies, $50 per cent; Roumania,
2S1 per cent: India. 1.92 per cent. And
less than I per cent each, Galicia. Ja-
pan and FormosG. Peru, Germany,
Trinidad. Argentina, Egypt, Canada
and Italy. hH
With this list in hand. 1t is easy to
see why American oil Is so important
a factor in the prosecution of the WEI.
Russian fieidss II they are being work.
ed at all, probably are being worked
for Germany's benefit. So are Rou-
manlan fields. N st
Thus far, though prices have sonred
just as IL there was famine in oil,
the American fielda, inclnding the Mex
ican hive suiiiced to keep all the allies
fairly well supplied. Students of war
problems declare that Americas oil
supply will he practically as valuable
In the last analysis as American men,

TO DO RELIEF WORK
Red Cross Trains Women for
Civilian Service.
Series Of Institutes In Home Science
to Fit Them as Social Serv-
Ice Workers.

Washington.--Scientlfic training and
efficient service are the keynotes of
the civilian relief work which has just
been inaugurated throughout the coun-
try by the American Red Cross.
Contrary to the popular belief that
most of the Red Cross is being done by
unframed volunteer workers, the lat
est venture of the Organization is char
acterized by series of institutes In
home science for the purpose Of train
ing women to do social service work
among the families Of our fighting men.
Financial aid for the families Of
our soldiers and sailors is only small
part Of the problem which these fam
lilies will have to face" said Mrs. Wal
ter s. UffOrd, head Of the District Of
Columbia Civilian Relief department
OF the Red Cross. "There Is an urgent
need for trained community workers
who can analyze the problem of the
families to be served and bring them
Into touch with the community re.
sources which can help to strengthen
family life. Trained workers will be
required to cope with the abnormal
situation in which the war has placed
the wives and children of the men at
the front"
The Red Cross Institutes consist of
q six weeks course which follows a
syllable prepared by Porter Lee of the
New York School of Philanthropy.
Particular emphasis is placed by
Mrs. Ufford upon the value of the
work outlined in the syllabus, not only
to relieve the stress Of war difficulties,
but to meet the needs Of reconstruc.
tion that Is to follow the wnr. Only
through scientific effort, Mrs. Ufford
believes, can an adequate attempt DO
made to readjust the economic and SO.
cial relationships when disabled sol
diers and sailors come back from the
front.
