 Ca,tigny Ten Years 4 go

CANTIGNY, France, May 30- Acting on it's own-the first time an American division had partici- pated as unit in an offensive in the World war-the First division swept out of its trenches in Pic ardy ten years ago last Monday morning and wrested the plateau of Cantigny from the crack Eighty Second division of the Imperial German army.
 Fourteen hundred American doughboys were left to sleep eter- nally on the slope in the first fou.' days of fighting, and the position was gained only by unusual te- nacity. but the savage counter attacks ordered by the German high command availed nothing. The line held, and the world knew that the new ally had stood the
 Official records point out that the Cantigny operation was more or less local, but that it was ex- tremely important because of the psychological effect of the dis tinctly American victory.
 The First division, under Ma jor General Robert l.. Bullard, had moved into the vicinity of Mont didier April 21, in expectation of participating with the French in an offensive movement Prepara- tions were begun for the action, but inability of the British to par ticipate and lack of reserves pre- vented initiation of the project.
 Surprise Attack
 When the signs pointed to the abandonment of the plan General Bullard proposed a surprise at tack by the First division with out awaiting the combined oper- ations then being studied. The request was granted and orders were issued to the First division to prepare for an operation to capture the heights of Cantigny without assistance of French in- fantry.
 The French placed 173 guns un- der the control of the division and planned to support the attack with an equal number on the Hanks. As it turned out not all of these guns were used. however, and most of them were available ouly the first day.

IC. Q. P. CONVENTION
 BECKONS MOTORISTS

KANSAS CITY, May 3O-Heed- ing the call of the trail, throngs of national convention visitors
 will come by motor to watch the
 Republicans name their presiden- tial choice here in June. Headquarters of all of the large national and regional highway as- sociations report unprecedented
 demands for information on roads

 Several of these routes pene- trate some of America's most pic turesque sections, including much
 of the old west.
 Such alluring scenic territories as the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone,
 Custer Battlefield and the Rocky
 Mountain parks, Lookout noun tain and the Ozarks are convent ent of access from some of the bikes leading into the convention city.
 Short side trips over improved roadways are emphasized in pre-
 convention literature. Perhaps
 most attractive of Missouri show places in Excelsior Springs, with it's healing waters, about an hours
 drive from Kansas City. The American Research Foun. dation sketches the most acces-
 sible routes to Kansas City as follows:
 From New York: State high.
 way 12 to Reading; state high way 3 to Harrisburg and Pitts. burgh, and from Washington, Pa,
 by National Old Trail GU. s. 4O) to Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, Terre Haute and St. Louis. From Washington: U. s. high way 240 to Frederick: U. s. 40

NIEMIEN AND HEYSER MAY BE DOWN, FOG
Fate of Fox Directors and and Camernan Causes
 Grave Concern

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 90. Mystery surrounding the dis appearance of the Fox Film Ex- l pedition to Point Barrow height ened as the days have passed without any word from the relief expedition, Matt Niemien. pilot, and Richard Heyser, radio op- orator. which left here May 25. ] Heyser has had ample time to set up q radio ground station at Point Barrow and send report ] of the fate of the five men and the two planes in the Fox Film Expedition.
 Belief is expressed that Niem- fen and Heyser landed at Vain wright where they may be wait ing for a break in the fog but others scout the theory saying they would have returned to Kotzenae and communicate with other radios.
 The Fox Film Expedition left here May 13. The expedition re- ported out from Wiseman. The two planes were piloted by Noel Vein and R. s. Merrill and car ried Jack Robertson and L. Virgil Hart, film directors and Charles G. Clarke, camerman. The planes carried provisions to last two weeks.
 Hart intended to return here within three days with the two planes and pick up Ewing Scott and Ray Wise, remaining mem bers of the party.

Chauffeur Is Suspected of Abducting, Staying
 Little Girl

TOLEDO, Ohio, May 30.-New evidence, the nature of which the police declined to reveal, aided today in attempts to fasten the blame for the abduction and staying of little seven-year-old Dorothy Sielagowski, upon 26- year-old chauffeur, name with held.
 Dr. Edmund Pailinski, dentist, determined from examination oi the victims body, that the slayer had a missing front tooth.

which had been designated to make the assault May 2S, was drawn back to a rear area where the details of the plan were re- hearsed. A battalion of French tanks and a detachment of French flame-throwers were attached to the regiment.
 On the nights of May 26 and 27 the Twenty-eighth infantry, re-en- tered the line. Early the morn ing of May 27, after intensive ar tillery preparation, a strong Ger man raiding party tried to pene- trate the sector. The attack fail ed completely and most of the Germans, including the command ing officer, were killed.
 By 3:30 a. m. May 2S the regi- ment was in position. The objec- tive had been set at line one kilometer east of the village of Cantigny.
 First Offensive Blow
 Americas first offensive blow was struck in mist. The artil- lery preparation began at 5:45 a. m., one hour before the infantry went over the top. The Amerl- cans moved forward in good or. der, the tanks in the lead, behind a rolling barrage. The terrific fire from the French guns had blasted a way and the suddenness of the movement took the Ger. mans completely by surprise. The Americans overran the hostile front lines and by 7:25 a. m. they had reached their objective with out much difficulty or loss, cap turing more than POO prisoners
 But by noon the Germans re. covered from their surprise, be. ginning a heavy bombardment and a series of counter-attacks which continued throughout the next three days. The doughbovs sue ceeded in consolidating their new lines and, despite the hard thrusts of the enemy. the mounting list of dead, and the desperate hand to hand fighting in Cantigny, kept their morale like seasoned vet erans.
 It is known now that the Ger. man division lost 1916 casualties between May 28 and 30.

New Method in Dam Building.

Apropos Of some recent failures Of
dam construction for storage and power
purposes, something new in this line is
being tried out in France The new
dam to be built at Marege. in the
Haute -Dordogne. is to have five thin
curved shells of reinforced concrete
placed one behind the other and each
shell lower than the one directly back
of it. In this way the desired head of
water will be obtained in five stages.
The idea is that when the reservoir is
filed the water in the intervening
spaces will help to support the walls.
Incidentally, this construction is said to
result in an economy of about 25 per
cent in building material alone
