Tending force. Many machine guns
and battery OF - m m guns were
found I'm the edge OF the town. The
First brigade advanced at the same
time, encountering and overcoming
the most intense resistance. By
night the line had advanced TO in
clude the SuceriO and the outskirts
Of Buzancy. cutting the railroad and
the main high road running south
from scissors into the enemys
salient. During the day. the divi-
sion gained from 1 = 10 ? kilOmeters.
The effect upon the enemy Of the
days advance soon became manifest.
enemy'S line reflected the fires Of
many burning ammunition dumps
and supplies which he had concen-
trated for his offensive of July 18th.
and his retreat began in great haste.
on July 22nd. the orders from the
army required the division 10 orga-
nize and hold the ground gained.
That night, the division was relieved
by the 18th Scottish division. The
First division had remained in line
longer than the other divisions of
the corps During five days, il had
fought desperately and had game
II kilometers. II had captured 125
officers, 1915 men, 1911 MIN and
1915 MIN guns, 300 machine guns.

quantities of small arm and artillery
ammunition. 1t had taken the towns
Of Missy. Pioissy and Berry Sec,
and in conjunction with the First
Moroccan division. il had occupied
the outskirts of Buzancy. Ii had eff
fectually cut the railroad and the
high road running south from Sois-
sons. The casualties OF the division
amounted TO 2S5 officers and 1855
men killed. wounded and missing.
They included IS per cent OF the
infantry field officers. 60 per cent of
the infantry officers and so per cent
of the enlisted strength OF the troops
engaged. The division here gave
proof of the high morals, the excel
lent training and forttude Of the Of
ficers and soldiers that had been ac-
Quired in the sectors of Ansauville
and CantigEy None but the best
disciplined and most seasoned troops
could have preserved their cohesion
and continued TO make successful as
saults under the losses sustained by
the division and under the bitter op-
position continually interposed by
successive fresh enemy divisions. lt
became necessary to use the First
regiment of engineers in the line and
they bore their share OF the fighting.
All reserves were employed for the
advance of July 21st and IL became
necessary to form new reserve
from elements Of the trains and
from newly arrived replacements.

the night Of Sept 11th-12th. The
artillery preparation consisted OF

Sept. 18th. the infantry. preceded by
"a heavy rolling barage and a smoke
screen and accompanied by tanks
and engineer troops with passerelles,
heavy wire cutters and bangalore
tubes. advanced against the position
which they had faced during their
first months in the Ansauville sec
tor. The terrain was completely
dominated by Mont Sec. Heavy
rains had made the marshly ground
difficult 10 cross. The first part OF
the zone traversed was cut up by
trenches and wire, constructed dur
ing the previous foug years. Two
streams. the Rupt de Madt and the
Nadine river, were serious obstacles.
The thick woods of the quart de Re

were defended and il was necessary

along close 10 their barrage and the

cording 10 schedule. During the
night, the troops pushed on through
the Bois de Vigneulles and by p
o'clock. elements Of the 2Sth infantry

gained contact with elements Of the
26th division of the 5th corps. In
the meantime. elements OF the 26th
division had reached Nigneulles at
1915 O'Clock. Thus, the enemy's es-
cape from the salient was completely
cut or during the night of Sept. 18th

The First division had advanced
IA kilometers. in an air line, in 10
hours. and small elements Of the di-
vision advanced 10 kilometers in
32 hours The division had captured
5 officers, 1,19O men, 3O-77 MIN
guns. one anti-tank gun, so ma
chine guns, 100 rifles and large
quantities Of ammunition and stores.
The enemy had been forced TO burn
valuable stores that he was unable
to remove, because Of the rapid ad-
vance. The losses in the division
were IL officers and SCI men killed,
wounded and missing
On the afternoon of Sept. 18th,
the division was relieved from the
line by the Second French colonial
corps and was assembled in the
vicinity of Nonsard. Here the troops
were rested and re-equipped.
On Sept. goth, the infantry pro-
ceeded by trucks and the artillery
and the trains by marching in the
direction Of Nerdun. All movements
were made at night, in order TO
screen them from the enemy. Fhe

Coolies Killed Thousands

OF the insects responsible for the
death or disablement of hundred of
thousands in the war zone, the louise
is declared authoritativsly to have
been one of the most deadly and to
have accounted for at least million
persons. That, however, is only a
rough estimate, and the probability
is that the toll was infinitely higher,
for in Serbia alone typhus, louise
borne disease, infected nearly one mil
lion persons and killed five hundred
day in the little city of Jassy, while
two hundred of the twelve hundred
medical officers in the country died
from the disease. This disease spread
over Russia, Austria, Germany and
the Balkans generally. These figures
are vouched for in a publication pre-
pared by Lieutenant Lloyd, who was
chief entomologist in Northern
Rhodesia.

Operation on Eye

Frank Berry went to Boise Monday,
where he underwent an operation on
his eve. He has been troubled for
some time with growth on one eye
which finally reached such stage as
to completely obliterate the sight,
causing Mr.. Berry to realize the SER
ious possibilities of the condition. The
operation was successful and the ply
sician assured him the sight will be
practically all restored, with strong
possibility of complete cure. The
patient will be obliged to remain 5
days or more for treatment. Friends
will anxiously await news of the out
come.

Obituary.

4 Death cast it's dark shadow over an
other home on the bench when it called
home precious wife and mother.
Mrs. Ray H. Wallace, daughter of
Mrs. S. L. Fulgham. She was sick
but few days with flu, which devel-
oped into pneumonia. She leaves
husband and five little boys, a mother,
five brothers and four sisters, and
many relatives to mourn the loss.
Her father preceded her few years
ago. Yet we realize that our great
loss is her eternal gain Yet the
question, why, oh why, was she taken
when she was so needed in her home
to work together with the father in
bringing up those precious little boys
whose future she was so much inter-
ested in. Her greatest aim in life
was to raise her boys up to be noble
christian men. She enjoyed quiet
home life with her husband and chill
dren, lived an every day christian life
before her family and the world Just
what one found her one day, they
found her the same every day She
has lived christian life 13 years, be-
ing saved at the age of Ia years, unit
ing with the Mt Pisgah Baptist
church in Washington county, Ark.
She was born December 25, 1891; mar
ried December 25, 1909, to Ray H.
Wallace in Washington county, Ark.
In 1911 they moved to Culver, Ore,
where they lived till November 1916,
When they located on the Emmett
bench, where the death angel visited
the happy little home and took away
the precious wife and mother on the
morning of January 8, 1919. Great
are the mysteries of God His ways
are past finding out. Yet we know
He doeth all things well for those who
love him Therefore we look to him
for grace in time of trial and say from
our hearts, the Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away; blessed be the
name Of the Lord, whose grace is
