Sergeant Hess went overseas in May, 1918. and saw much action with a machine gun battalion. In one battle, he came thru with five machine gun bullet holes in his blouse, but was not even scratched. One of the interesting points of Sergeant Hess's service is the fact that he has faith fully kept a diary from his first en- trance in the army, and which will be concluded upon his discharge. He was cited by General Pershing for bravery in face of battle, and for leading his company when all the officers had been killed or wounded.

ArgOnne came. the divisions were
shuttled out. to bolster up the badly
broken line in the Argonne. But too
late, for the Americans had broken
thru and the strategy had worked. A
barrage but no attack in the sector
fronting Metz had held the German
reserves in Metz until too late for them
to assist the shattered salient of the
Argone."/
The 35th Division, composed of ma
tional guard troops OF Kansas and
Missouri, was among the divisions to
'go over" in the Argonne that first
morning. For several days the d.
vision was in the bitter of it. The
And (Rainbow) Division, was another
participant. The seth Division was
holding the Thiacourt sector fronting
Metz at the time the offensive was
launched but later moved to the
Argonne front and the latter part of
October went into the lines in the
Bantheville woods and cleared it of
the Germans, taking part in the re-
naming phases of the Argonne-Meuse
offensive until the signing of the
arTnistice.

The Gary works of the Illinois Steel
company had seventy-five coke ovens
in operation. Four thousand men
were reported working in the plant,
which usually employees 10000.
The Hubbard Steel plant at east Chi
cago was closed indefinitely by Will

previously asked a committee OF str1k-
ers 20 negotiate with company Off
Gals. Strikers refused.
The Inland Steel company and the

company officials declared 80 per cent
of the employees were at work.
Minor rioting occurred at the gates
of the American Steel & Wire COM

One foreman riding in a machine

Optimistic at Bethlehem Offices.
Allentown, Pa. Sept. 26.-Notwith-
standing the refusal of z. G. Grace,
president of the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany, to negotiate with the steel work
ers' national committee, a feeling of
optimism prevailed here today. and it
was hoped a strike of the company's
employees may yet be averted or at
least postponed. A strike had been
ordered for next Monday unless Off
cials of the company granted the I'M
ions request for a conference by 4
p. m. yesterday. This request was re-
fused by Mr.. Grace, who notified the
national committee that the Bethle-
hem company would not depart from
its present system of collective bar
gaining. Under this system, he said,
the men have an opportunity to take
up grievances with the officials of the
company at any time. He also stated
that the employees may change the sys-
tenn of collective bargaining if it is I'M
satisfactory. Union leaders, on the
other hand declare the system is one
sided and unfair.

arranged to take the air in a brief
automobile ride by sending out per-
sonally and hiring a taxicab instead
cars that had been provided for his
use.
In a number of other cases since
then the president has tried to curtail
his program and has seized every OPP
portunity to get a moments relaxa-
ton His train was stopped for more
than an hour yesterday after leaving
Pueblo. Colo. while Mr.. and Mrs. Will
son took long walk down a dusty
country road by the Arkansas river.
The details of the presidents indis-
position were not revealed. but it was
indicated he had a slight touch of in
digestion. Doctor Grayson thought it
would pass away quickly IL Mr.. Wilson
remained quietly in bed. but he said
he would insist upon absolute rest
Since the. trip began the president
also has been suffering from a slight
cough which, several times has caused
his voice to Sfeak while he was speak
ing. To one audience he laughingly
remarked that it was the remains of
a Paris cold" but both he and Doctor
Grayson have treated it lightly. The
real cause Of his indisposition. it was
said. was the nervous strain of his ar
duous program. whict was one of the
most strenuous ever undertaken by a
president.
Shortly before the presidents
train was side-tracked on the out
skirts of Wichita. and it was a half
hour later that the decision to sus-
pend the trip was announced in Secre-
tary Tumutys statement. Assistant
Secretary Brahaney went by motor to
the Wichita station a mile away to tell
the local reception committee that the
president could not leave the train On
the way the streets were lined by
thousands who had gathered along the
route of the scheduled automobile
ride in the business section.
