Ninety feet of the Shaw's bow was
carried away in the collision, but in

1t was found that the enemy wire did
not extend entirely across the ravne,
the ravine referred to being the juno
tlon of the Rau Fontaine-a-Aux-
Charmes and the Rau de Charlevaux at
the western end of the Bos de ia Naza.
Effort was made to build up Il line
on the southern slopes of the Bois de
Apremont, particularly on the nose lust
north of the stream juncturc. These
efforts were bitterly opposed by fire
coming from the reverse slopes of
the Bois de la Naza, and the RIDGES
to its west, with machine gun ire
from the front. But after the most
determined efforts firing line was
finally built up on the nose referred
to, and this firing line taking in re-
verse the enemy organizations in front
OF our line, the opposition from these
organizations began to show signs of
giving way early in the morning OF
October T.
AT this time communication with
Colonel Whittlesey's command had
realized that they must be short of ra
tions and probably of ammunition as
well; At the first sign of weakening
OF the hostile resistance determined
advance was made by the entire line,
which ultimately broke through the
enemy formations, and the 307th In
tantry moved up to the line established
by Major Whittlesey's command, reach
ing that position about twenty-one
hours later on the night of October 7.
This advance OF the 307th was followed
very shortly by the entire 1884 Brigade
and by the remainder of the 3O8th1

The mercury was lowering around 80,
and coats doubled in weight every
quarter of mile, but the "Y" girls
smiled valiantly and plodded on.
1t was the regular sunday nike of
the homeless birds of passage of the
fleet and the girls of the Y. w. C. A,
all under the protecting wing of some
four or five chaperons. Yesterday ,ue
bourne was the Johnson homestead at
Spuyten Duyvil, west of Van Cortlandt
Park. 1t was a long, long trail that
kept a-winding before the sixty young
people after they left the subway, but

Hudson, with ii oaken rafters, its rare
china and it's hvspitable owners.
Getting away from the "Y" was half
the fun. The gobs, with here and there
a soldier or marine, signed up; then
the girls. Selection followed. It re-
minded onlookers of childhood
days and the game, "choose the one You
love best" Usually the COB took the
matter into his own hands in master
full fashion and picked whomsoever he
saw that pleased him. There were few
bashful ones, however. who had to be
sought out by Amazonian maidens and

Cathedral. What are old bones and
historic vaults when you want to see
real buildings
TE girls drank it all in with avid
interest. They were having the time
of their lives-three gobs to each girl.
The main body of the youthful army
had to slow up continually for the
rear ranks. There was no such thing
as getting lost, for the vigilant chape-
rons kept an eye on things and figur-
atively "whistled the trunats to heel"
1t was tired, thirsty, jolly party of
gobs and "Y" girls that finally reached
the homestead. Refreshments and

Officers of the 77th advance party
gave out yesterday a copy of letter
from General Pershing, in which tha
commander of the American armies in
France said the New York troops could
go home conscious of the admiration

strong opposition for twelve kilo-

troops in such good physical shape,

moral tone of all ranks is so high.
am sure that they will carry this
high standard back into whatever
tasks lie before them when they re-
turn to civil life.

the 77th Division to know how much
they have contributed to the success
OF our armies. They should go home
