 Just now Lieut.. Tom Mclean came in and he tells me that Felton, Hin- ton, Claywell, Mathews and the rest of our boys in the supply train are still at St. Florent.

New York Hotels Able
10 Accommodate 90, ,O23

A week ago New York was so crowd
ed with visitors that one man went to
thirty-two hotels before he got accom-
modatlon for the night. To day New
York offers 4500 more rooms.
The gigantic new Commodore. which
formally threw open its doors yester-
day adds the last 1000 rooms to this
figure. The opening of the Pennsyl-
vania contributed 1900 rooms, while
the completion of an extension TO the
Hotel McAlpin of 800 rooms made the
remainder.
The demand for greater accommoda-
tioh has increased since the fall Of
1915 with such steadiness that many
hotelmcn now believe firmly in taking
New York as a serious rival for Paris
as an amusement centre.
Prior to the opening Of the Pcnnsyl-
vana and the Commodore, a list OF
first class hotels in New York com
piled by an experienced hotel man
aged, showed 1874, with total Of 40 $50
rooms. Since the manager estimates
his total capacity as third greater
than his number of rooms, New York
was prepared to accommodate 54.623
visitors daily. 1t can now care for
60,623. This figure does not include
apartment hotels.

HOchstein Killed
By a Shell During
Drive ON Argonne
Young NioIinist Had Just
Gone Over Top When
He Was Fatally Wounded,
the Commander Reports

Various reports recently that Lieu
tenant David Hochstein. the young
violinist, had been killed during the
Argonne drive in October were con-
frmed yesterday by official dispatches
from Washington. He was killed inst
north of the village of Cunel October
10 by she'll, which burst near line
of runners with whom he was keep
ing up liaison between the assaultinr
and support companies of his bat
talon.
Lieutenant Hochstein, who was
twenty-six years old, and born in
Rochester, n. Y, went to France as
assistant bandmaster of the 306th In
fantry. He applied for d commission
on arrival in Europe, and graduated
only a few weeks before his death
from a training school in France.
Of his work his commanding officer,
Major Baldwin, wrote after his death:
"The morning of the 14th. we at
tackled, and Hochstein went over with
NE to battalion headquarters, which
was between the assault and support
companies. White, the liaison officer,
who had charge OF the runners. was
hit and Hochstein took his place We
took prisoners, and Hochstein quickly
obtained from them information as to
German machine gun positions, which
we then reduced. This service was of
the greatest value in the attack
ON the morning Of October Is we
were to continue to penetrate the Ger
man lines. We went over in the usual
way, following our barrage. Our own
position, of course, was under fire.
"Hochstein, in command OF the hcad.
quarters runners, was at the head of
little string Of men, A shell burst
not far behind me, close to the little
runner group. | noticed that the run
ners were still following and kept on
until a certain designated objective
was reached. There l noticed Hoch-
STEMS absence, and was told by
runner that he had been hat going
through the woods"
