The Americans, noting that the
attacking troops were not follow
ing their barrage closely, allowed
it to roll over. Not until scant
hundred yards separated the op-
posing forces did the Americans
fire.
Then they moved down 500
Germans with machine gun fire
and sent the survivors OF the at
tack scurrying to protection in
Laval Woods.
Not once, but six times, did the
Germans counter-attack that day.
Every attack met the same fate.

YdUapai Surveys
Road To Lakes

Dick Merritt, Yavapai county engi-

passed through Jerome Wednesday on
their way to the site of the proposed
improved highway to Flagstaff via
Mormon and Stoneman lakes. Rob-

of the road work for distance of 10
miles to the Yavapai county line.
There, this county will extend the
road repair for nine miles, at cost
of about $4,000.
Work on the Yavapai side will be-

PRESCOTT PIONEER DROPS
DEAD OF HEART FAILURE

E. S. Mendenhall, 70-year-old pio-
neer, dropped dead Of heart failure
Saturday morning when he entered
the door Of Scholey's pool hall on
North Cortez street, Prescott, with
the intention of sitting down for a few
minutes to rest and to watch the
games.
His sudden death came as a sur
prise to his large number of friends
at the Pioneers home, where he had
lived since November %, 1922, because
he was thought to be in ruddy health,
since he took long walks each day,
ate heartily, and gave the impression
that he enjoyed life to the utmost.
He has been treated for heart trou-
bic for the last two years at the
home, however, it was learned from
the officials of the home. Among his
effects were found several bottles Of
medicine for heart trouble

Cantigny, in 1918, was a test.
The village was held by the Ger

the Montdidier-Noyon salient. The

Chaumont-en-Vixen, relieved the
French. The French said the sec

Then it bacame a problem of
holding on. The Germans didn't
propose to lose Cantigny. So three
strong points were located, two
in the woods near the blasted VIII
lage and one in the cemetery to
the north. The first German coun-
