Capdves Stream Back.
Captives were streaming back to

were many fresh-faced youths of the

being cleaned up. The grim nature

that more than 1900 dead Germans

German prisoners have stated that

At least two more great liberty loans
are to be provided for. No one can es-
innate the need for further war taxation

to cover.
Speaker Clark was minority leader be-
fore the democrats came into control.
A question to be decided, is whether
Mr. Kitchin IS to step down from the
place in the new Congress to give way
for Mr.. Clark. or whether the Speaker
will be obliged to take places in the
usual run OF committee assignments.
There are in the House several COM
mittees which have power to inveSti-

partments During control of the dem
ocratic majority the republicans have
been poweriess to compel investigation
of things which they have attacked. In
control of those committees, which in
times of peace are virtually of no i'm
poytance, the field for investigation of
the democratic administration by a re-
publican House is thrown wide open al
most on the eve Of the next presidential
election.

Pourron and Mont de Bruno were

Undaunted by Machine Guns.
The advance on Raucourt and Chem
cry was accomplished against ma
chine-gun fire. The Germans had en-
trenched themselves in every avail
able shell hole. supplemented by
trenches, but were driven out without
excessive use Of artillery. II was an
infantry engagement, the Germans
giving way before the steady PUSHES
of the Americans.
Big Guns Have Duels.
American and German big-caliber
guns recently had a duel on this
sector and the Americans apparently
came out on top
About the time the American big
guns began operations against the
enemy communication lines the Ger
mons started Smelling Nerdun and the
region north and northwest with a
naval weapon of large caliber. The
Americans Immediately began calcu-
lations to determine the position OF
the enemy gun and finally decided
they had found its location. Then
the battle of the big guns began. 1t
continued day and night for several
days.
Suddenly. one afternoon the German
big gun ceased firing and nothing has
been heard from it since. The Amer
hit. but they do claim that the Ger
man battery was compelled to with

damaged.
