known as Hill SIS. By this time they
were many miles from the. headquar-
tiers OF the division. and their food
and water supplies were exhausted.
Hill 37s was one of the most formid-
able strongholds Of the Germans, and
the French and English many times
tried unsuccessfully to capture the
hill.
On the afternoon of November 8, ex-
hausted by loss of sleep. food and
water, the 312th advanced up the
hill. They had hardly gone one half
the distance when a German artillery
barrage from three sides met them.
The 512th Infantry sent $50 men with

after establishing the overseas work

day, "and. you will find them anxious
to know OF the employment situation
in this country generally and in their
localities. or all the men to whom I
talked personally, ! found but one

Mr.. Stone. who also is in charge of

many men inquired at the overseas

for opportunities in France and other
European countries, especially those
with knowledge of foreign languages.

I'm connection with giving this in

go home after discharge and not hang

On October ?. 1915, the 3I2th ma
tional gaurd battalion began a sew
enty-five- mile hike to st. Mihiel. Dur
ing this hike the Washington men
were fired on by German machine
gunners and snipers hidden in bushes
and trees and were targets for all
kinds OF German long distance guns,
and subject to many gas attacks. The
casualties that resulted in this ad-
vance were few.
The St Mihiel section was reached
on October IA, and the battalion took
up the defensive. That sector was
quiet at the time. Only a barrage by
the Americans from the rear furnish
ed excitement. The 312th was doing
sort OF rest duty and remained in the
trenches at St. Mihie-i'in case the
Germans took a notion TO advance, 20
which was very unlikely.
IL was about this time that Major
JAnney left the 312th to join an in
fantry regiment Of the same division.

manded one OF the four companies,
was promoted to major and given
