THE artillery preparation was ter
rife. 1t seemed az though nothing
could exceed 1t in intensity. but at 1
o'clock in the morning, when the Ger

the French barrage went down on our

Quoting an order which Cen Naulin OF
the Twenty-nrst French Corps sent to
our divisional commander:

Heroism of Col. Donovan.

The American forces were battering
at the hinged side of the door in an
attempt to cut of and prevent the es-
capt Of the German armies from France.
The enemy was equally determined to
maintain this position and against the
American forces In line held all of their
remaining reserves. Fifty meters OF
wire. enfiladsd by machine guns and ar
tillery, disposed on the Cote de Chatillon
and on tho heights of the village pro-
tected the lines. Again the regiment
was far in advance OF its artillery cUp-
port and II assaulted the German posi-
ton practically unassisted by artillery.
Col. w. J. Donovan. commanding the
assault battalions at this time. remained
for eleven hours In a shell hole direct
ing the efforts Of his troops after he had
been severely wounded. This was the
Ia rdest battle fought by the 165th.
Relieved in line by the Second Ameri-
can Division II sidestepped TO the left
and on the morning of November l par
ticlpated In the third American assault
which carried our victorious armies for
ward to Sedan. The Stars aud Stripes,
the Official Newspaper of the A. f T..
credits this regiment with the furthest
advance forward OF any American unit
prior to the signing OF the armistice.
On November the second battalion,
under command OF Major Henr A.
Bootz, seized the heights OF the Meuse
dominating Sedan, north OF the village
OF Movers, in the Ardennes. On the
morning OF November 3 Its advanced
patrols entered tho suburbs Of Sedan
in the village OF Wadlincourt. driving
there from the last German elements
west Of the River Meuse. Under orders

Entered Line in February.

The regiment arrived in France on
November IL, 1917, and immediately
was moved 20 the American training
rector in rear of the Lorraine front,
where It went through a brief period
OF training in conjunction with a regi-
ment OF French infantry. II first began
to take part In active operations-in Feb
ruary. 1913. when It entered the line
near Luneville, in Lorraine. and as
sumed the sector Rouge Bouquet Here
the regiment received its baptism Of IRE
at the hands OF an enemy anxious TO
break at the outset the American
morale.
On March 81, while holding the lines
NJ Rouge Bouquet, the regiment was
subjected to a terrific gas attack. during
which 1t suffered more than 400 casual
ties. This first taste OF modern war
fare came In It's most cruel and unusual
form. The enemy had received infor-
nation that the Americans were in line.
On the night of March 81 without warn
ing they suddenly threw 1000 gas shells
into the regimental area and immedi-
ately followed Il up with strenuous
ehrapnel and high explosive lombard
ment 1t was the most terrific attack
the Germans ever made in this sector
and the coolness and bravery with which
IL was received by the American troops
were highly commended in orders from
the General commanding the French
seventh Army.

on March "a the regiment was re-
lieved In line and started to move to-
ward the rear for an additional period
of training before again taking up its
position In the trenches, The successes
Of the German offensive in the north
made II necessary however, for the regi-
nent TO face about and retrace It's
steps toward the lines, where II relieved
an experienced division of French Chas-
seurs for the more strenuous campaign
in the north
The second trench sector held by the
165th Infantry was at Ancerviller. Here
the training in the elements OF modern
warfare was completed and absolute
mastery of mo Mans Land was main
tanned throughout this period. An in
cident indicative of the spirit of the
regiment at this time occurred when
Lieut.. Cassidy with small patrol pene-
trated the German lines at Hamau
dAncerviller and captured a German
sentry post. The American were very
anxious to take prisoners I'm order that
they might obtain information Of the
German Intentions, Lieut.. Cassidy was
selected to lead patrol to the German
line, cut their wire. enter their trenches
and take prisoners. He was ordered not
to return until prisoners had been taken.
Leaving the American lines in tho
dead of night Lieut.. Cassidy proceeded
with q small patrol across NO MANS
Land until he was I'm front of the Ger
man lines. Here he disposed a small
reserve of his men and with the re-
mainder, including Sergeants OMalley
ana Bingham Of Company d. he cut
the German wire and entered the Ger
man trenches. Approaching German
strong point within the lines Cassidy
discovered the Germans lounging about
the entrance to a dugout. With brief
hand to hand struggle these men were
captured and rushed between the OPEN
inRs in the wire where the reserve was
disposed. The Germans. awakening to
their situation. began terrific fire OF
machine guns and high explosive shells
against Cassidy's patrol, despite which

INVESTIGATE HIGH COST OF Llv.
ING IN IDAHO.

If the president had given as much
attention to relieving the people Of his
own country from the high cost Of
living as he has to working out his
visionary scheme to ameliorate the
he would have accomplished much to-
ward restoring normal and prosper
GUS conditions and removed the real
cause Of most of the unrest that pre-
walls throughout the country. 1t Is
gratifying to know, however, that the
president Is giving deep thought" to
the problem and it is especially graft
flying to observe that his meditations
have produced at least one practical
result, namely, that Secretary Baker
Is going to release for the benefit of
the consumer the vast supply of food
stuffs which the war department has
been hording since the signing of the
armistice. While hoping for practical
relief through federal action, the state
authorities should not be idle. Most
of the state have antitrust laws to
prevent combinations for the restraint
of trade, to prevent price fixing, and in
various ways to protect the people
against extortion in the purchase Of
the necessaries of life, Idaho has such
laws and the time has arrived when
Governor Davis should invoke them in
behalf Of the people of the state. The
cost of food clothing and practically
all other commodities has reached a
point that Is pauperizing the people
fal the enrichment of unconscionablc
prohteers Complete relief may not be
within the power of the state, but
much can be accomplished, and the
mere fact that the state is exercising
ton and be of substantial assistance
to the federal government in running
down the offenders and bringing Their
&c justice. The investigation being
made by the state of Montana in
Butte has already disclosed combin.
alton among commission houses 70
control the prices of fruits and veg
etables, and as some of the compan.
les involved have branches In Idaho, il
is only reasonable to assume that the
same methods prevail here, The peo-
pie are thoroughly aroused and in
earnest in their demand-for relief from
the profteer, and they rightly expect
the state authorities to go the limit of
their power to break the combination
that is Gobbing them.

THE REAL ISSUE.
New York SUM

| (NeW york SUM
The issue is America.
In these four words Senator John
son Of California has swept away all
the fictitious assumptions and false
pretenses. The issue is America.
| Is this country to remain what the
fathers made it hundred years ago
and what generations of patriotic
statesmen and a faithful ctizenry
have kept it through the Intervening
time? Is 1t to remain a free and SOW
ereign state, master of it's own des-
| tiny and potent to extend helping, a
| saving hand to those who are strug-
Cling for freedom in any part of the
world?
Or is it to merge it's independence
and pool it's sovereignty in a clique of
governments organized to dictate the
future of the world? Is it to surren
dea its power to shape it's own ends
and pursue its own principles? Is it
to give up the power and the right to
aid struggling or aspiring freedom
with its moral or physical strength
Is it to make itself liable to become
the instrument of coercion upon UNI
willing races at the mandate of those
interestedin their subsection?
The issue is America. Is America
to be America or is it to be pawn in
the game of close corporation of
statesmen and diplomats belonging to
another world, animated by different
ideals and controlled by interests for
eign to her own?
Senator Johnson is right This is
the question now before the, people Of
the United States. The Issue is Am

THE PRESIDENTS TACT.
lHarvey's Weekly

Those most familiar with the pres
ident's tact and skill believe he ulti-
mately will consent to make easy the
way out for the statesmen politicians
and accept qualifications that do not
change the effect of the document
The World.
! Such tender consideration will sure
| ly appear as revelation to officially
loathed pygmy minds and ought %
touch without breaking responsive
hearts. The skill of the president is
commonly conceded, but when it
comes to tact la, la! 1t was clever no
doubt to ostentatiously place his
services and information" at the dis
posal Of the committee on foreign re-
lations" and the prefer may yet be ac-
copied, although, as Mr.. Borah SEN
tentiously remarked, the senate and
the country are concerned far less
with the trials of the peace commits
siOner than with the contents Of the
document which he brought home
Informed. can read and write, and ev-
licences are manifest that some Of
them can speak quite intelligibly. It
is but natural then perhaps that they
should feel that, since the president
disdainfully ignored them in con.
structing the peace treaty, they can
get along without his assistance in
it. And If anything could
be more stupid than the picking Of
McNarys and Colts who are not e, EN-
members of the foreign relations CON-
mittee for secret confabs instead of
seeking frank consultation with the
edges and Knoxes we can not imag-
me 1t. The merest tyro in diplomacy,
we should think, would have realized |
n advance that so invidious course
,ould have no other effect than that |
which it did have of welding the op-
position solidly together. 1t was no
rifling blunder, moreover, to bestow
Ipon Senators Borah and Norris, for
latly refusing to confer behind closed
oors, the credit of being the real
hampions of open covenants openly s
rrived at" '
The plain fact is that every step the Nv
has taken since his return .
as tended only to enhance his repu- u
ton for furtve dealings, and we are II
7 no means certain that the net re- o
1T of his 'tactfulness' will not prove ly
