 ST. MIHIEL
 The success of the American offen- Tsive at St. Mihiel was a surprise to both the Germans and ourselves. Very few casualties were received by our side. The objective which was given us to take in three days was practic- ally taken in only the first days fighting.
 Company K lost only two men killed in this engagement. Their names fol- low:
 Sergeant Harry P Couch had his foot blown off by shell and die1 a few days later in the hospital
 Private Hugh W. Pruett, with group of comrades, was on the right side of some tanks. which the Ger mans started smelling. One shell hit among them and Pruett was killed.
 MEUSE-ARGONNE
 Next to the Chateau Thierry fight ranks that of the Meuse-Argonne of fensive. Probably more men to the amount of ground captured were killed in this drive than at the other fam ous fight. For two days the troops hammered away at Hill 28S and it was only at the end of the second days fighting that it was finally captured. At this time very little artillery ser vice was rendered. and that which was given really killed as many or more of the Germans.
 It was after the end of the first days fighting that a message was brought to General McArthur, who was then commanding the Eighty fourth brigade, to take the hill in the morning, if it cost him 5000 men, which was his entire command Gen. eral McArthur is claimed to have sent back word that he would take the hill if it cost 6001 men, meaning himself included. At any rate, the next morning found the general at the head of his troops in one of the hottest battles fought during the par ticipation of the Americans in the world war
