the Three Hundred and Sixty-sixth
Infantry the Bots Vovrate, advancing
our line to the northern boundary OF
these woods This meant the capture
of approximately miles of heavily
garrisoned and protected woods. The
strength of this position can be de-
termined by the fact that the Senga-
lese had previously been unable to
hold the northern edge of the woods
except for 90 minutes. White Ameri-
can troops had attacked it, but had
been repulsed and left 26 bodies OF
their troops lying in the first 800
yards of their front line since Sep
TENDER Is. I will quote verbatim the
One Hundred and Eighty-third Bri-
gade report, page 152: "Our advance
was for about depth of 81 kilo-
meters" Page 154: "The lines held
by the Germans were unusually
strong, being the result of four years
sterilization in that sector. Further
more, their positions were the first
line Of defense of Metz. The troops
(German) occupying them were
young, efficient men, and not old SOL
diers from rest sector"
1t is seen, then, within FIVE hours
after the attack the Second Battalion,
Three Hundred and Sixty-ffth Infan-
try, had reached their objective, cap
turing many Germans, machine guns,
and other material Their orders be-
ing to take and to hold, they held this
position until the armistice was signed,
losing many officers and men. The
Three Hundred and Sixty-seventh In
fantry on the west bank of the Mo-
selle were repulsed in their attack, the
reason, as stated by the Ninety-second
Division report, page 15o, being "+ =
Attack by Three Hundred and Sixty
seventh Infantry west of the Moselle
not prosecuted because Of the failure
of the Fifty-sixth Infantry, Seventh
Division (white), to capture Preny.
Preny was German stronghold in a
highly elevated wood, which fanked
the Three Hundred and Sixty-seventh
Infantry, exposing them both to front
and flank FIRE from the enemy's troops.
An advance under such conditions by
the Three Hundred and Sixty-seventh
was impossible, but they held their
positions and covered the retreat Of
the Fifty-sixth Infantry, which was
thrown back"
Pershings statement may be illum-
mating to you. In letter of March
/, 1920, to Congressman Wood. Of In
diana, he says: "The Ninety-second

manded that battalion, from his book,
My Colored Battalion, page g.: "All
day, all night, and up to II o'clock
next morning it lasted. By midnight
the entire wood fairly reeked with gas.
No one dared eat or drink because OF
it. Despite all our precautions and ef-
forts we were rapidly being wiped
out. I have heard of officers and OF
men and of units, large ones and small
ones, white, also co1ored, that became
panic stricken and useless under fire
that was feeble and light, both in in
tensity and duration, compared to this,
but am ready at any time to testify
that 1850 officers and men (colored)
did advance and that the command
did hold without showing the faintest
symptoms of panic or retreat" Major
Ross had one white second lieutenant
named Foster with him in this bat
talon. Practically all the remaining
white officers save three of the Three
Hundred and Sixty-ffth Infantry were
evacuated on the morning Of Novem-
Der II, leaving Maj. Warner Ross in
command of 5000 colored troops and
sc colored officers.
In letter to his officers and men at
Camp Upton, N. Y, just before the
disbandment, Major Ross says: "Your
work in these two days Of terrific
fighting convinced me fully that the
ability of the officers and the loyalty
of the men Of our battalion was sec
ond to none and unquestionably OF
character that demonstrated Their
qualifications for the trust reposed IN
them by their country. Many de-
served special recognition by way OF
D. S. C.'s and promotions, in my opin-
ion, and were so recommended by me.
Why these earned rewards have not
been given is beyond my understand
ing, but I do hope that the gratitude
and recompense that our country shall
give you will make amends"

Recent discoveries in the ruined

that the MayaS' method of counting
the passage of lime was of Il highly
accurate nature. The inhabitants
OF the city had in reality Il form of

necessary data by taking observa-
lions from an eastern hilltop 10 a
pillar of stone or stella erected on
4 prominent western hill approx
mately four and a half miles away
across The valley in which lay the
city. Clear evidence has been
found that Il correction was made
at some date after the western
stella had been set up, by the fact
that the column was moved from
its original position in the center
of The stone base to another posi-
lion farther north. The correction
was made when the movable New
Years day fell on the same date as
the commencement Of the Maya
agricultural year. In the first place

Il should be miserable there, he
said, without the feinemenlS OF

EXPENSIVE Suit

The first bit of gold discovered
in Australia was found by ma
tive bushman. 1t was very large
lump and he had an idea that 1t
was worth something but he did
not realize It's full value. Seeing
his employer counting some gold
pieces he said he would bring him
q lump of the yellow metal in eX-
change for q suit of corduroy. The
exchange was quickly effected and
the native brought a lump weigh
ing more than 100 pounds and val
ned at more than S25, 900.

Jealousy to Order

Now look jealous ~ commanded
director of a young actor he was
testing in closeup. The young
actor tried his best; he looked
panied, disguised, angry, but the
facial expression of jealousy elud-
ed him. Il guess YOU can't do it,"
grumbled the director. He called
another actor.
The discounted youth sank into
a chair and watched his rival step
in front of the camera. After a
moment the director turned sharply
to the youth in the chair. That's
j" he cried. Hold that express
sion!" And he grabbed the youth
and forced him in front of the lens.
