Bois-de- -Bantheville, with a proportion of fire on the Cote-de-C -Chantillon woods, west of it, on October IT. The enemy then appeared to be gradually retiring, and strong patrols worked their way without heavy fighting through the Bois- e-Bantheville, an extensive tract of timber about three kilometers long and two kilometers wide.
 By midnight of the 1Sth-19th, the left was on the northwest edge of the woods and the right was holding we'll up in the eastern part, although the Hanks were echeloned back somewhat for purposes of liason. On this line the division, less the 57th Field Artil- lery Brigade, was relieved on the suc- ceeding night, October 1920, by the S9th Division, the front at the time being two or three kilometers ahead of the general front. The vigor of the enemy's defense in this sector, as well, no doubt, as the depletion of his divisions, was evidenced by the fact that during its 19 days in line the 32nd Division had taken prisoners from nine different German divisions.
 Lively MOppig Up Work
 The S9th Division, during it's ten days in the Bois-de- -Bantheville be- tween October 20 and November l, did not attempt any general advance, but experienced some lively fighting nev- ertheless in ridding the woods of lin- gering machine gun nests and snipers which had not been completely mopped up during the preceding days.
 Coming into the sector just east of the Aire river extending just south of the Bois-de- -Montrebeau, with the powerful intrenchments of Exermont, which the 35th Division had been un- able to overrun, just ahead of it, the 1st Division on the morning of Octo- Der 1 was preparing to grapple with one of the strongest sections of the enemys front between the Mouse and the Argone forest.
 The ground was being constantly subjected to heavy fire, and as far back as the ravine of Charpentry a number of men of the 18th Infantry were badly gassed during the. night of October 1 while digging in ground which had been infected by gas she'll ing.
 But preparations went forward steadily for participating in the gen. eral attack on the morning of October 4, the divisions going inwith the regi- ments in line from right to left 26th Infantry, 18th Infantry, 18th Infantry the 18th Infantry, and each regiment with one battalion in front line.
 The attack plans had been carefully prepared and they were carried out with grim precision and unflagging courage in the face of an opposition whose bitterness has seldom been eq- ualed and at the cost of such losses as might we'll break the stamina of the very best of troops.
 Moving forward at 5:25 a. m. and overcoming the fierce resistance of four German divisions in the Bois ,de- Montrebeau, in front and in Exermont, and along the farm road northeast of it running through La-Neuville- -le- Con- te Farm, the front was on its first objective at 7:30 a. m. and held across the slopes of Hill 240. in the Bois- de-Beyou.
 Chat night two companies from the flank of the 26th Infantry pushed out northeast and assisted by an artillery barrage and by tanks, seized and firm ly held the ois-de-Moncy, while fur ther to the left the same regiment

Chauffeur for Cong.
 Merritt Admitted
 As Citizen Here

Jeremiah Maher, chauffeur for Congressman Schuyler Merritt of
 Stamford, was one of the five appli- cants admitted to citizenship by Judge
 Curtis in the Superior court this
 morning. Maher, a native of Ireland passed a good examination. The
 other four admitted were: Samuel H. Russakow, born in Russia; Scyvak k
 Rebelsky, Russia; Joseph Martin from Ireland and Anestasious Anas- tasious from Greece. Four applicants were rejected for failure to show sufficient knowledge of American in stitutions.
 Government Examiner Church asked Russian applicants if they be- lieved in the principles of Bolshev ism and all said they did not. Two men said Governor Holcomb made the laws for this state but on the whole the standard of intelligence dis played by the men was better than usual.

PASSES
 BOXING BILL

Hartford, May 6-Expecting to
 complete its business late in the day,
 the general assembly met today, prob
 ably for its last business session. Should the governor not adjourn the | body sine die today, a recess will be 1 taken until Thursday or a later date, and the members will be at the cap 1 itol tomorrow for the centennial ob- servance and to greet former mem ! bers, whose numbers probably will exceed two thousand.
 The governor will receive very large number of bills for his con l sideration, not as many as two years 1 ago, however, and it is a possibility l that a legislative recess will be neces- ! Sary to afford him time in which to i veto any bills which he does not care ! to approve. A recess until Friday 1 of this week or until a day next week | would give him a margin of time and l obviate the necessity of a so-caIled 1 ''pOcket' veto.
 1 The boxing commission bin, which l the Senate adopted, was amended in i the House in the relation to the ap- | pointment of the commission by the l governor. MT. Shirk, of Washington, moved indefinite postponement on the ! 1 bill. MT. Healy of Waterbury said il i was very easy to call it a prize fight

German newspapers are printing reports from Versailles to the effect that the German representatives have served notice on the Allies that further delay in the presentation of the peace terms will result in the Germans leaving for Berlin. Another report emanating from Berlin states that German Ministers Landsberg and Giesberg, members of the enemy dele gation, have left Versailles, but that peace negotiations will continue"
 There has been no intimation from Paris that the Germans were demand ing immediate action or that any of the delegates had left, and the re ports received in Berlin probably were intended for home consumption"
