CHAPTER IVlII

The Meuse-Argonne offensive opened
the morning of September 26. To call
it battle may be misnomer. yet it
was a battle, the greatest, most pro-
longed in American history. Through
AZ days we were engaged in a per
sistent struggle with the enemy to
smash through his defenses.
The attack started on a front of "a
miles, which gradually extended until
the enemy was being actively assailed
from the Argonne forest to the Mo-
selle river, 90 miles.
In all more than 100000 were en-
ployed and the attack was driven 80
miles to the north and IA miles TO the
northeast before the armistice termi-
mated hostilities.
The outstanding fact that | desire
to emphasize is that, once started, the
battle was maintained continuously.

Committee 0. KS Bill

The proposed holidays of
December 26 and January .
for Government and District
employees are in jeopardy be-
cause of a strong opposition
in the House to the Senate
bill.
The District of Columbia com

ers voiced their objections.
One member declared that he
was against the bill because he
could find no reason for favoring
employees here, when Federal en-

forced to work. One Of the lead
ers said that the bill would not
come up until the House con
yened after the holiday recess,
so that it would be worthless.
