ations to give the impression that
the great attack extended along the
entire front. Both infantry brigades
took part in the operation which was
planned as a deep raid on the enemy
positions. The raid was preceded by
six-hour artillery preparation, as
was the big attack west of the
Meuse, and the infantry jumped off
at the same hour as the troops max
ing the real attack. Statements of
prisoners and evidence discovered
since the armistice prove that the
division successfully accomplished
its mission and that the enemy on
our front believed until well into

During the period following the st.
Mihiel operation the four regiments
continued to hold the line in the
same order as before. Colonel sterl-
ing had relieved Colonel Canvenaugh
in command of the 359th Infantry.
During all this period enemy ar
tillery activity was intense. The
front and support lines were almost
continually bombarded with high ex-
plosive and gas shell. Much of the
fire came from the flank, and from
places even in rear Of our own line
While there was no considerable en-.
emy infantry activity during this pc
rod, casualties were heavy from ar
tillery.
Patrolling was active and daring.
Scarcely day passed that one Of
the regiments did not bring in pris-
oners.

Infantry raided the Hindenburg line

Following is the second install
ment of the story concerning the OPP
Serations of the Goth Division This
story deals with the St Mihel often
sive, The next will deal with the
Argonne-Meuse offensive.-Ed
Berne Castle, Germany April 10.
(By Mail)-The front of the divis-
ion was narrowed for the attack by
three kiometers, which were taken
over by the 5th Division. On the
three nights before the 18th patrols
were busy all along the front clean
ing cut the old trenches and cutting
wire so that everything would be
ready for the jump off on the morn
ing of the 18th For the attack, the
division was lined up with the regi-
ments side by side in the same order
that they held the stctor. The in
fantry was supported by the 153rd
Artillery Brigade (78th Division) .
The plan for the first day was that
the division, like the Corps, would
advance farthest on the left and
pivot on the right
A terrific artillery preparation
opened at one o'clock on the morn
ing of the 18th. AT o'clock the in
fantry went over the top under a
rolling barage and by o'clock in
the afternoon all detectives had been
reached and the enemy completely
disorganized in spite of the i'm
mensely difficult country through
which the advance had been made
The 957th Infantry on the left had
advanced maximum distance of
four kilometers through dense wood
wire and trench defenses of every
description. All of the other regi
ments, while their advance was not
as deep as that of the 357th In
fantry, had accomplished their. mis-
sions. During the night strong pa
trolls were sent out all along the
front to exploit the success of the
day.
On the 18th the lS0th Bric1de
captured the Bois lie Pretre with it's
maze of barbed wire entngalements
and innumerable machine gun EN-
placements The French are said to
have had over 100000 casualties in
1915 in attempting to take this piece
of ground. On the same day the
179th Brigade cleaned out the Ven
cheres woods and advanced their
line to the vicinity of ST. Marie farm.
One of the battalions of the 357th
Infantry encountered two enemy reg
iments moving across our front to
counter attack the 9TH Division and
completely broke up their advance.
On the14th the 10th Brigade
pushed forward on the left into the
Bois des Rappes to the vicinity Of

On the 18th the advance was con-
tinued Wanderers taken, the Bois de
Villers and the Bois des Rappes
cleaned up and the line established
along the HUT Chemins ("White
Chimmy'D road.
On the 10th the front line was
pushed forward to the edge of the
woods in front Of Preny, where it re-
NAMED until the division was re-
leived in October.
While the Goth Division was carry
ing all detectives the rest Of the
First Army was equally successful.
Within "A hours after the attack
started, divisions from the 4th and
9TH Corps had met at Vignuelles in
rear of the salient and the whole
German position, which had been
held since 1914, was cut Off. During
this first operation of the American
Army over $4,000 prisoners, a great
amount of artillery and vast stores
Of all sorts we're captured.
The Goth Divisions contribution
was, in prisoners, IA officers and $50
men, 8 pieces Of artillery, "a heavy

machine guns and miscellaneous
weapons. The divisions casualties
were 80 officers and S86 men

Shortly after the st. Mihiel offens-
i've was ended, the S2nd Division on
our right was relieved by the Goth
French Division and the 90th's sec
tor was extended to the Moselle
river. The 9TH Division on the left
was relieved by the 87th Division,
which was itself shortly withdrawn,
its sector being turned over about
eqlally to the S9th and Goth. This
extended the 90th's sector approxi-
mately four kilometers to the west.
During the last week that the di-
vision was in line it was holding a
front of approximately 12 kilometers.

SURE CAME HANDY

meant for fighting save at the last
gasp. But the 14-inch bolo knife is
essentially weapon. 1t is issued to
six per cent of our infantry forces
not regularly to every seventeenth
man, but as occasion may require or
the immediate commanding officer may
direct. Henry Johnson was given his
because he was assigned to particular
ly dangerous duty in a listening post.
Others may be equipped with bolo
knives-for instance, as members OF
special detachment to accompany
raiding forces within the enemy lines.
Their work must be quick, silent and
thorough. From Luneville to Cantigny
the Germans have found it so.
The small arms division of the Unit
ed States ordnance department be-
lieves that the bolo knife has points of
superiority over any knife in use on
the European battlefield, else it would
not have been adopted for our use.

sALUTEs PHOTO OF PREMIER
instructive Action of Officer Reveals
Respect of French for
M. Clemenceau.

Paris.-Little unconscious acts often
reveal the real measure of the popu-
larity of a great leader.
In the photographers showcase not
far from the fashionable Pare Mon
ceau there is among other pictures an
excellent almost life-size head Of M
Clemenceau. A young French officer
who was passing the shop the other
day glanced casually at the showcase
Perceiving the picture of his, chief he
instinctively raised his hand to sa-
lutte and passed on unaware that his
spontaneous tribute had been observed.
In the early days of the long-range
gun bombardment Of Paris, says the
Matin, it was stated that the shells
were made from a new type OF steel
alleged with vanadiun1, which gave II
exceptional properties. But analysis
has shown that the shells are made of
ordinary nickel and chrome steel, such
as is in current use for making guns
both in France and Germany and
whose properties are well known.

''My idea would be to catch Them
and then soak their tails in warm wa

gives warning could be removed with
out injury to the snake. Their fangs
are so sharp that unless the warming iS
given with the rattles person would
hardly know what bit him. Side wind-
