the seth and Goth divisions as to
which division should be perpetuated
in the proposed new American army
repre- senting Texas and Oklahoma.

comes from the headquarters of the
Goth:

divisions were sent to assist the
French in an important attack against
the old German positions before

plicated defense works on their

worthy Of the grimmest period Of
trench warfare and attacked the
strongly held wooded hill of Blanc
Mont, which they captured in a sec

consummate dash and kill. This di-
vision then repulsed strong counter
attacks before the village and Gem
etery of Ste. Etisenne and took the
town, forcing the Germans to fall
back from before Rheims and yield
positions they had held since Septem-
her, 1914. On October the S6th di-
