ct do not say that it was the 'poten-
tial women vote that forced the nom

been quoted but I do say that we
made ourselves felt by the Healy-

when the convention opened it
swas found that all the towns and

accomplished where there was no

ience the travelling public by starting

a lot of people walk as to certain
sections would be without transporta-
ton facilities.
After the trol1eys come back we
will run on the new routes and we
know that the public will not be sat
isfied. Then let the people talk and

TWO YEARS AGO
AMERICANS WON
BIZ; WAR HON0RS

Two years ago tomorrow the first
American offensive in the great war
through the ST. Mihie1 salient, CO.
opera ting with the French armies on
the left and right. The American
forces of, course, had taken part in
the great offensive of July IS, through
the Marne salient, but there the
command and direction of the French
high command. In the drive in the
st. Mihiel salient the American army
acted a unit.
The Twenty sixth Division, the
New England Y. D. Division, which
had made itself as the savior of Paris,
on July Is, again occupied the place
of honor in the ST. Mihiel drive, and
regiment, which had made its name
on the Marne, by the defeat of the
Prussian guard at Epieds and Trugny
again was called for in heroic work
by Gen. Edwards.
It was necessary to cut through the
German communications in the st,
Mihiel salient, and the 1O2nd Reg1-
ment was selected for that work By
a night march from below Verdun
and near Seicheprey the Connections
regiment hiked and fought its way to
VidnueiIes in the middle of the st,
Mihiel salient, there uniting with the
American regulars coming from tho
west and thus cutting off the Ger
man communications.
General Clarence. L. Edwards the
commander of the Twenty-sixth has
always said that the night march of
the 102nd to Vignuelies was the tin
est thing in the whole war. The men
were sent through a forest every inch
of which was covered by the German
heavy artillery, and they were with
out liaison with the units on either
side of them. The forest roads were
SO dark that the men were obliged
to hold to each others shoulders in
order to keep in touch:
For THIS particular act the entire
regiment was cited by the french
connmand and the American COM
mand.
The drive thus begun closed with
the reduction of the entire St Mihiels
salient, and on the evening of Sep
tember 13, American and French
troops were standing on the banks of
the Moselle river, the boundary be-
tween France and Germany.
