ment was in the nose of* a salient and
j there was little it could do in the way j
j of retaliation against the cross fire I
I from the 77's and 210's which daily!
j and nightly claimed a considerable
toll of dead and. wounded. It whsj
plain the position was untenable. That
meant an offensive, for to the Amer
ican -army retirement, except of the.
most temporary charcter, was an sn
ihought of maneuver. '.
In front of the Stretph of woods
held by the -6eventy4inth Division!
there, rose ^formidable height which 1
on some,, maps was designated as Hill j
37^a#d. pn others as the Borne du'
Cornouiller and by the doughboys
themselves, with a whimsical dislike.
?'Cornwlllie Hill." in the convolu
tions of" Gomwailie'Hill's bafd head
tliere'.lay ^m^eaied, a formidable ar
Tay of machine grun, nests, and com
manding its naked ascents was some
of the deadliest artillery the Germans!
possessed. The German high com- i
mand sealiaed-rf uUy the importance of j
this key position, and the Units that j
held it were Prussian Guards.
The Three Hundred and Sixteenth :
was?and i??a National Army regi- |
ment, composed of drafted men en- i
tirely. Its. men come mainly from the1
farm and m:ine lands of Pennsylvania, j
although later contingents brought'
groups from such widely Separated j
points as Iowa and Connecticut. A j
typical American regiment?which]
means that it joked very little, sang j
not at all and took the business of j
war with a grim, serious air and a j
Spartan spirit. This, of course, is notj
a conventional picture, but the ma- j
jorit'y of men who have been through j
the Argonne fight will bear the writ
er out in the assertion that "blithe- !
ness" was not a characteristic of the j
Yank once he got into the front lines.;
Wherein the average soldier and j
officer differed from J' jor Manning, j
who was never more cneerful, with a:
buoyant, exalted kind of cheerfulness.1
than on the morning the Three Hun- :
dred and Sixteenth learned it was to ;
go over the top once more. The pros- j
pect of action was wine to him. On I
the Stl Mihiel front he had remarked j
to an -outpost lieutenant that he en- [
vied him nothing more than the per-;
sonal opportunity to make things un-!
pleasant .for the boche. And now the j
opportunity was to he his in full j
measure.
The battle of Cornwillie. Hill began
on the morning of November 4 with j
an offensive reconnoissance patrol un- j
ier the leadership of a young second!
lieutenant named Gabriel. ' It was |
mighty offensive to the Germans, for!
they centered everything they had on j
the strip of territory the patrol had to;
cross before it reached the outskirts
a? .the main position; but in spite of!
heavy~losses young Gabriel led hisj
men forward five successive times, j
md as'V result of a few hours* work J
brought in a half dozen machine gun- ;
with "their crews and valuable ihfor-j
mation ?f whjfit lay ahead.
- A connected story of the struggle |
that, folio wed will have, to be gather- \
8d-8ome. time from official records, but j

and which was. crowned with mag-1

military wisdom of advancing against
machine-gun fire and snipers' nesta?
of which .Cornwillie Hill was full?
in so conspicuous a. costume as an
old fashioned army cape. But there
can. be no question of the inspiration
a sight like that is to your hero loving
soldier in the stress of battle, and the
Third Battalion went forward through
artillery fire and into a hail of bul- \
lets from a ride alive with machine;
guns until its leader fell, shot through i
the head with his pistol extended bo-1
fore him toward the goal.
And the regiment, with almost all t
of its officers gone, companies and I
battalions inextricably intermingled ?
by extremely heavy losses, pressed on
toward that goal so that on Novem
ber 6 the' Germans realized their
prize was gone, and on the 7th were
in full retreat over a front of many
kilometers.
Who can say how much of thai
victory was due to the example of one
man, scorning camouflage and lead
ing his men in the good old Ameri- !
can way?out '.n front and standiny |
up. Certain it is that his was no small'
share in bringing from Maj. Gen.!

j Shippers f*8e Protest
Railroad Commission Asked to
Take Steps to Improve Local
Conditions?Service at Lo
cal Stations Insufficient
and Inconvenient.
The business men of Sumter, to
gether with, country merchants and
farmers who ship and receive freight
from the depots of Sumter, have en
tered with the South Carolina Rail
road commission an organized, vig
orous protest against the service of all
of the railway transportation compa
nies, insofar as the shipment of
freight and the delivery of freight are
concerned.
The Sumter Chamber of Com
mence has appointed a committee of
ten of the leading business men of
this city and a farmer to take the
matters up wi?h -the railroad com
mission, and a hearing at Sumter be
fore the commission, at the earliest
possible date has been asked for.
Certain arbitrary rules and treat
ment of the public have brought the
shippers and receivers of freight into
organized and determined protest and
it is apparent that a stiff fight is
ahead even if the matter has to be
taken to Washington for settlement
before the proper authorities.
The rule of the freight depots re-;
fusing to accept outgoing freight for
shipment only three days in the
week, together with the opening
a.nd closing hours of the depots for
receiving and delivering freight is al- j
leged by the shippers and receivers to
be an unnecessary and inconvenient
and damaging method which works
not only a hardship on the public, !
but is also a great inconvenience and
a financial loss of considerable pro-;
portions. The business men who j
made the complaint to the Sumter
Chamber of Commerce and the rail
road commission allege insufficient
and incompetent help at the depots,
indifference, and unnecessary delays
in accepting, shipping, and in de
livering freight.
The committee appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce is composed of
Dr E. S. Booth, chairman; Messrs. W.
Percy Smith, Abe Ryttenberg, L. B.
Phillips, S. F. Stoudemire, Mitchell
Levi, D. G. F. Bultman, J. Frank
Williams, C. B. Yeadon, S. R. Chan
dler, with President A. C. Phelps of
the commercial organization as ex
offlcio a member of this committee.
This committee met at Chamber of
Commerce yesterday and held a
lengthy session at which the mem
bers of the committee made numerous
and somewhat serious charges against
the railroad depots and their man
agement and general service to the
public. The committee formulated a
written protest to the railroad comT
mission and every member of the
committee signed this protest and re
quest, for a hearing at Sumter before
the commission.
Copies of the protest and request for
I a public hearing were- ordered sent
to the local agents of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway company, the
Northwestern Railway Company, the
Seaboard Air Line Railway Company,
and the Southern Railway for their
information. *
Effective January 1st, 1919, the"
; freight warehouses of all transporta
tion companies in .Sumter, common
carriers, will be open for receipt pt
less than car load freight for for
warding from 8 a. m. until 4 p. m. ex
cept on Saturdays on which day the
I clos ng hours will be 1 p. m.
The hours for delivery of inbound
[freight will remain as at present, from
j 8 a. m. until 5 p. m., except on Sat
urdays when the closing hour will be
! at 2 p. m. This order has been sent
[ out and signed by the local agento of
I the four railway systems entering
I Sumter, and this order or notice . was
J the straw that broke the camel's
j back and caused receivers and- ship?
j pers of freight to request concerted
J action by the Sumter Chamber of
Commerce. It is alleged that owing
tp insufficient force and other rea
sons, there is unnecessary delay of
wagons and trucks at the freight de
pots both in receiving and shipping
i freight, often amounting to several
J hours unnecessary loss of time. That
incoming freight is delayed unneces
sarily in delivery and the, same in
competent service regarding outgoing
freight to all points.
The Chamber of Commerce has de
termined that both sides will be giv
: en an opportunity to be heard and has
[decided that the railroad commission
iis the proper place for an impartial
'and rigid investigation of the charges
(preferred against the Sumter freight
[agents and their assistants and help
ers.
j It was apparen* that there is con*
' siderable feeling on the part of -the
shippers and freight receivers over
the treatment they have received.
The railroad commission will have a
lot to hear when the shippers and
freight receivers tell their tales of
woe, judging by the advance informa
tion or preludes to the kicks to-be
made.
