Mihiel salient, The general plan
was that the 5th-corps would attack
on the west base OF the salient and
drive east, and that the 1st and 4th
Corps on the east base Of the salient
would attack north, When the 9TH
and 4th Corps met, they would close
the neck of the bottle, and the sa-
lient and the German troops left in
ii would be cut Off. The advance
of the 1st and 4th Corps was to
swing forward like door with the
hinge of the door on the Moselle
River The divisions on the left Of
the advance would push gorWa ard the
farthest, and by meeting the 5th
Corps, cnt off the salient.
The send division on the extreme
right was not to advance at all. and
the seth Division on its left was
given the mission OF protecting the
right flank of the advance and see
ing that the hinge on which the
whole attack piyoted was not brok-
enn Off. This was an extremely i'm
portant and delicate mission as with
the S2nd Division stading fast it was
that the Goth Division, when
it advanced, would leave its whole
right flank open to the enemy.

Berne Castle, Germany, April s.
(By Mail 1.-THE Goth Division was
organized at Camp Travis, Texas,
under the command of Major Gen
eral Henry T. Allen. All of the
first men in the division were from
Texas and Oklahoma, being in the
179th Brigade ana those from Texas
in the 1S0th Brigade. From that
time these brigades have been known
as the Oklahoma and Texas Bri-
gades. The division insignia, adopt
ed in France, symbolises the native
states of the first members of the
division.
Like all other national army di-
visions in the states, the Goth sent
away great numbers of men to fill
up regular and national guard di
visions and to form special organi-
zatinos of army, corps, and s. o. S.
troops. In the early spring Of 1918
the division was filled up with men
from other camps, large number
coming from Camp Dodge, iowa.
Move to France.
The division commenced leaving
Camp Travis early in June for Camp
Mills, near New York. BY June 80
all units had sailed from Hoboken
A few organizations went direct
to France, but the majority of the
division landed in England. The
358th Infantry paraded before the
Lord Mayor of Liverpool on July A,
and was given a banquet by the
city.
Immediately upon arrival in !
France the Artillery Brigade was
sent to training area near Bordeau.
The rest of the division was moved |
by train to the Aignay-le-Duc train. |
ing area, northeast of Dijon. Head |
quarters Of the division, 10th Bri |
gade and 357th Infantry, were at
Aignay le-Duc. Headquarters Of the
lS0th Brigade and the 359th Infan-
Try were at Recey-sur-Ource. The
'58th Infantry was at Minot, and
he 360th Infantry was at RouvNs.
rhe division stayed six weeks in
his area, training eight hours a day
or the time when it should take it's
,lace in line.
Relief of First Division.
In the middle of August the di.
'ision was ordered to relieve the
frst Division, which held the Saiz-
rails sector along the Moselle River,

When the division went into line,
preparation had already begun for
the st. Mihiel offensive. Artillery
Of all calibers was being moved into
the sector every night and it was
obvious to everyone that an opera

Early in September orders were re

attack. The First American Army,
which had just been organized under

AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES
Gathering Of Women r dicuIe the Idea,
Labelling II as "Commercializ-
ing the Home"

Wages for wives We're turned down
by an audience IArgely Of women here
the other night after debate on
whether husbands should be required
to pay such wages, says the Philadel-
phla Evening Bulletin.
One spe;sncr drew dismal picture
of the future of romance with wives
working for wages.
Imagine scene like this" he said ::
Honey, do you love me?"
"Of course | love you"
Then Will you marry me-"
We'll, maybe. How much do you
pay?"
Suppose the wives were to join
the soviet Of waiters-up and charge
triple wages for waiting up nights for
husbands" he said.
Imagine a wife going into society
and being labeled a $l5-a-week wife. A
woman can take q last-year hat and
make it look like new. But when she
signed contract for SIS week there
would be no hiding it from the neigh
bors."
Another speaker pleaded that WON
an shall not be brought down from her
pedestal as queen and made a mere
employee Of man" In depicting the
future of romance under the wage sys-
tem lie said the marriage ceremony
would have TO be revised to read:
with this ring hire thee. and will
pay thee SO week by the aid of the
world, the flesh and the devil"
Notices like the following he pre-
dicted would be published
Married-JOhn Brown and Mary
Smith, by Rev. Russell H. COnwell.
They will live in Logan and the wife's
wages will be SO a week"
Scenes like the following in court
were forecast:

and he is now two weeks overdue in
my pay. I'm going to get new boss"

Bat Skins for Leather.

The suggestion has been made that
the rat problem might be best solved
by making use of the skins of the
rodents for the purpose of leather.
Somebody with the gift of guessing
computes that there are 100000 in
this country, and the damage they do
would feed a good-sized army. 1t
would take at least 5000 skins a day
to supply a small modern tannery.
Nobody wants the rats. they belong
to anybody that can catch them.
That is the prOblem-tO catch them,
and then deliver the goods. There is
not enough leather to go around
Fish skins are susceptible of tan
ming and there are rat skins which
make good leather, large enough for
many purposes.

So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor US though dead.
Oh, kinsmenl We must meet the common foe;
