"fennes and hrinrup reserves.
The general attack was resumed at
5#t ni. on October 4, meeting despor,t?
resistance by the enemy, in this
attack, the Fourth division of the
Third corps. In three days' hitter fighting,
captured and held the Hols de
jpays, making a gain of over a mile.
Advances Into the Hols !e Feut de
faux were forced back by vicious
counter-attacks. In similar nurd tightlug
the Eighteenth division gained a
foothold la the Bols des Ogons, ngulnst
very heavy- machine gun fire.
In the attack of the Fifth corps, the
Third division pushed forward in the
face of strong resistance. During the
next two days this division extended
Ita gains, but could m&ke no headway
against the Hollfcle Cunel. The Thirty
second division, which had taken
derges October 1, advanced to Just
south of Oesnes 6n the fourth despite
fery severe hostile Are. and next day
captured that town.
On the left of the army, the First
corps was very successful. The First
division In a fine display of power on
October 4. drove a deep wedge Into the
enemy's line. This was of great value
In affording space for the attack .Joward
the Argonne to h?x launched later.
The fighting here was characterized
by the stubborn nature of the German
resistance and the offensive spirit of
the division.
Case of the "Lost Battalion."
The right of the Twenty-eighth division
fought Its way down the Aire
river in liaison with the First nnd
captured fhehery. The left of the division
encountered much opposition
and made hut slight gains, notwithstanding
Its repeated attacks. The division
was now facing west for nearly
three miles along the Aire river. The
Seventy-seventh divlslon~between September
2i> and October 4 continued Its
attacks In the Argonne, advancing
about a mile over difficult terrain.
\nthe assault of October 2 n'mixed
battalion of the division moved forward
more rapidly than the troops on
lt? right and loft, nnd became completely
surrounded by the enemy. It
became popularly known as the "l/osl.
Battalion." - 1 , - For
four days every effort of the
division to relieve tl4s beleaguered
force was unsuccessful, nnd every effort
of the Germans to force Its surrender
was without avail.
French Call for Help.
In the meantime the French Fourth
army on our left had been held up at
Blanc Mont. As a consequence, Marshal
Foch appealed to me for assistance.
Although I was loath to spare
any troops fro?z? out front, so serious*as
our own siLuution, I sent, in accordance
with my promise, the Second
division (Le.leune), which was followed
later by the Thirty-sixth (W.
R- Smith).
October 3 the Second division, ae
companled by French tanks, In u brilliant
maneuver against heavy machine
ton resistance, stormed and captured
the dominating German positions on
jtoe Medoah Farm-Btanc Mont IUdge,
and continued on toward" St. Etlenne.

on the 20-mile front from Heauniont
west tb' the Aire river.
The. French Fourth army had not
been able to keep abreast of die American
First army, and It was evident
that clearing the Argonne forest
would materially aid Its advance. The |
opportunity presented Itself v Just at
tills time. Although on October 0 tj^o !
enemy continued to bold the heights j
of Cunel and Komagne, nevertheless
sufficient space liuti been secured alone
the Aire river to warrant un attack to
the west with the object of striking
the rear of the enemy's positions in
the Argonne forest.
There was another important factor
that Altered into the decision to force
the ytdthdrtfwjrrbf the enemy from the
Argonne. This was the predicament
of the "I^ost Battalion,*' which under
MaJ. C. \V. Wh'rtlesey hart been holding
out Tienr Binarvllle since October
2.
Efforts to relieve the battalion had
so far been unsuccessful, and the men
had consumed their rations and expended
most of their ammunition, although
our aviators had tried to drop
small amounts to them. The battalion
was resisting heroically against great
odds, without any thought of surrender.
" s
Pursuant to the plan an attRck was
made by the Twenty-eighth and
Eighty-second divisions against the
left and rear of the enemy's positions
in the region of Chatel-Cheliery and
Cornny. Aftw a night march of eight
miles the Eighty-second division (Duncan)
entered the line between the
Twenty-eighth (Mulr) and the First
(Summerall). In a scries of daring
movements to the west by the Twenty-eighth
and Eighty-second divisions,
Cornay, Chntel-Ohehery and the dominating
hills northwest of Apremont
were captured. v
Although the continued operation of
these two divisions was attended by
severe fighting the result# were Immediate.
The enemy was forced to wlth t

General Claudel's French Seventeenth
corps, east of the Meuse, attacked
October 8 with the object of
seizing the heights northwest of Beaumont
At that time it consisted of
two French and two American divisions,
the Thirty-third nnd Twentynlnth.
making the corps In numerical
strength two-thirds American. Though
opposed ' by strong German resistance
the assault was successfully directed
by General Claudel, and our lines were
advanced during the next few days to
the commanding ground between Beaumont
nnd Itichene Hill.
In a well-conducted operation the
Thirty-third division (Bell) crossed the
Meuse early October 8 by bridges constructed
during the night captured
Consenvoye. nnd progressed up the
neighboring slopes. The following day
a further advance was made, bpt
heavy fire from the Borne de Corqoull~
ter and the failure of the troops bn
the right to keep up forced a retirement
to the morning line. This ground
was retaken despite strong resistance,
and by night of the 10th the division
had established itself on the west
lopes of Rlchene Hill.
The Fifty-eighth brigade of the
Twenty-ninth division (Morton), under
command of the French Eighteenth
division, against considerable opposition
pushed forward Into the woods
south of Itichene Hill on the 8th, nnd
during the next two days completed

CHAPTER LXI
The pressure of the American army
In the great Meuse-Anytime offensive
had profoundly Impressed the enemy,
October 3 Marshal Von Hlndenburg
sent the following letter to the German
diuncellor:
The High Command Insists on
Its demand of September 29, for
the Immediate forwarding of an
offer of peace to our enemies . . .
T here Is now no longer any possible
hope of forcing peace upon
the enemy. . . The situation
grows more desperate every day
and may force the High Command
to grave decisions. . .
The chancellor yielded, and October
ft telegraphed, through the Swiss
government, to President Wilson:
"The German government requests
the President of the Cnlted
States to take In hand the restoration
of peace, acquaint nil belligerent
stntes with this request, and
invite them to send plenipotentiaries
for opening negotiations.
It accepts the program set forth
by the President In his message to
congress January 8. nnd In his
later addresses., especially the
speech of September 27, as a basis
for peace negotiations.
"With a view to avoiding fur,
ther bloodshed, (lie German govs''ernttfelht
requests the Immediate
conclusion of an armistice on land
and water nnd In the air,
"(Signed) Max. Prince von Redan, "Imperial
Chancellor."
The President's reply was not satis
factory to the Oermnn government and
, the exchange of notes continued qntll
finally the Germans accepted the very
frank statement by the President conveyed
In a State department message
October 23. that "the nations of the
world do not and cannot trust the
word of-those who have hitherto been
the masters of German policy," and
that "the government of the United
States cannot deal with any but verltJ.
V . i.aniioy?iwuHu*?. /1AI4M n
people, who have been assured of a
genuine constitutional standing as the
real rulers of Germany.
"If It must deal with the military
wasters and the monarchlal autocrats
of Germany now. or If It is.likely to.
have to deal with them later in regard
to the International obligation# of the
German empire, It must demand, not
pence negotiations, but surrender."
Meanwhile, with these peace nego
tlations in progress, nnd with our own
nnd allied offensive continuing to produce
favorably results.dt becaiitfe more
and more evident that the time soon
must come when we should have to
consider terms nnd conditions under
which hostilities might cease. The
discussion of armistice terms In n general
way by the allies had In fact hegun.
The enemy's most important defensive
position on the Romagne heights
was In our firm possession, and Ills
final defeat was only a question of
time. He had fought desperately to
hold his ground, but had been corn
pelled to give way steadily before our
effective blows. We could have gone
forward without special preparation
'and succeeded In driving the enemy
from the field, hut the situation led
io the conclusion that his defeat could
heat he accomplished by <b)e powerful
stroke by a well organized offensive.
The difficult and continuous offensive
from September 26 had been very
trying on our troops and had resulted
in a certain loss of cohesion. It was.
therefore, deemed advisable to take
a few-days for the replacement of
tired troops, the renewnl of supplies,
1 and the Improvement of communications.

WOMEN WORKING FOR WAGES
Millions of Them In These United
States, One-Fifth of AM Workers
There were nearly. 11,000,000 women
and girls engaged in gainful occupations
in the United States on
April 1, 19,'10, a number that constitutes
22 per cent, of the total
number of 'gainful workers in the
country, according to figures received
by W. M. McLaurine, secretary
and treasurer of the American
Cotton Manufacturers association.
The figures, compiled by the National
Industrial Conference board of
New York, also revealed that at that
time only two-fifths of the total population
of the country were engaged
in gainful occupations. The other
three-fifths comprised those who had
not gone to work, those no longer
able to work, children of 'both sexes
under 16 years of age and the great
body of housewives whose work as
executive directors of their household
does not, according to the census
bureau, come under the definition
of a gainful occupation. There
are estimated to be about 20,000,000
of the latter group.
The chart prepared by the conference
board shows the distribution of
economic activities of the people engaged
in gainful occupations. Disregarding
the relatively smnjl number
whose occupations were not
classified, it appears 25.1 per cent, of
all gainful workers classified are engaged
in the extractive industries,
agriculture, mining, forestry and fishing;
30.1 per cent. are engaged in
fashioning raw products for human
use, in manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits; while 25.3 per cent, are
engaged in distributing goods to
those who use them, in transportation
and trade. Over and above
? ?t ?
(.near;tr^soes, icr.\j per ctfnv. re-eiigaged
in giving personal, professional
and public services.
At the time ojf the census, 3,888,814
persons or eight per cent, of those
-who reported occupations were not at
work. This figure includes -more
700,000 "who were either sick
or disabled, unable- to work, not looking
for work, voluntarily idle or on
vacation. By adding those on lay-oft
without pay to those "able to work
and looking for a job," it is found
thrt economic conditions on April 1
1930, deprived 3,18*7,647 persons of
the immediate means of gaining a
livelihood. There were 2,429,062 persons
"out of work, able to work and
looking for a job" and 758,585 on
lay-off without pay.'
The general assembly of New York
is again Republican as a result of the
election on Tuesday. The campaigr
of the ntire Democratic party and
the Tammany organization to break
the 18-year-old hold on the lowei
house by the Republicans again failed.
In the state senate there wil
be 26 Republicans and 25 (Democrats
while in the house there will be 8(
Republicans and 78 Democrats.
It was announced from Little Rock
