Binarville, on the western edge of the
Argonne Forest, was before the war a
pretty little town situated amid the most
charming of surroundings. 1t had been
reduced to two cellars by the ruthlessness
of shell fire. but the summer houses and
gardens in Its vicinity were still main
tanned and extended by the Germans,

as the days wetn by. On the road from
Malancpurt to Avocourt the transport
was held up for eighteen hours without
a wheel turning, owing to a large. heavy
armored ammunition truck falling
through a bridge into one of the trenches
OF the Hindenburg line. Men died in the
ambulances from exposure; while the
Germans. had they counter attacked with
any strength. would have captured hum
dreds OF guns and miles of transport
But, except for Smelling the ends of the
road in attempts to discover American
batteries the Germans appeared to be
entirely without knowledge of conditions
behind the American front. The soldiers,
impatient though they were with the
congestion. nevertheless worked with
every will in the world to insure the
movement OF transport.
The Americans were at last compelled
TO send MaJor-Gen. William @. Ham of
the Thirty-second Division on his horse
for that was the only possible way to
move-to take charge Of the transport
around Avocourt. and within twelve
hours the camions ana mules, the artil-
lery and ammunition trains were once
again on the way. When, on the night
OF October 8, the Americans faced the
Germans for yet another drive forward,

morning for Norfolk to finish out
the second half Of the season.
1t is stated that the players are
dissatisfied with the suggested d.

bility Of playing three OF the first
four games of the championship
series in tho Cockade City. The
players have stated that they had
much rather play the games In

envy of Sciences. j. Norris Herring, f.
A. G. o., music editor Of the Baltimore
Star. is chairman Of the section, which
is under the department OF physics of
the academy.
Scientists believe that the occasional
harshness OF certain instruments can
be entirely eliminated by the use of
suitable metals In the construction OF
these instruments. or possibly by the
IDEAL com bination of such metals is
one of the big problems that the Sec

winter months.
The Section. however, Is not going
to limit itself to an investigation for
the Improvement of musical inStru-
ments. but will probe deeply into the
theory that vibrations OF color, IL sui
flciently concentrated upon sensitive
wires. would create musical tones
which might enable the scientist til
establish a Correlation between music
