That brings us together up here about three kilometers, and we go on straight, a little west of north from there, to Blanc Mont" The morning of October 8 (1918) came gray and misty. From midnight until dawn the front had been quiet nt that point comparatively. Then all the French and American guns opened with one world-shakin- crash. From the Kesen trench the ground fell away gently, then rose! In a long slope, along which could be made out the slgiags of the German trenches. The Bols de Vlpre was a bluish man-gled wood, two kilometers north. Peer-- at a shattered knte the men flat-tened and all faces turned toward the flank. "Machine-gun- s on the left I" "Hell I It's that Essen hook we've got to pass thank Ood, it's long raugel Come on, you birds." And the battalion went on, enduring grimly. Finally, when well past Its front, which ran dlngou-all- y to the line of advance, the Seven-teent- h company, that had the left, turned savagely on the Essen hook and got foothold In its rear. A from the reglmentnl head-quarters company was rushed up to as-sist them, and the men yelled with de-light as the vicious little cannon got In direct hits on the Boche emplace-ments. Hopelessly cut off, the large body of Germans In this formidable work surrendered after a few sharp and bloody minutes, and the Seven-teent-sending back Us prisoners, re-joined the battalion. Trlsoners began to stream back from the front of the attack, telling of the success of the Sixth.

Then came the Bols de B end igaln the marines acquitted themselvee marvelouily. Re-placements arrive to cover the heavy lo.see. The marines are relieved, but the respite Is short-lived, as they are soon ordered to the dolssons sector, where a great German offensive Is under way.

All enemy positions are ........ ,k,.h fearful cos', lug from their shelters, the battalion saw all this ground swept by a hur-ricane of shell-Hre- . "Move down the trench to the left," came the order. The battalion moved, filing around the traverses with Judi-cious Intervals between men, so that the Boche shells might not Include too many In their radius of death. For Heinle was beginning to shoot back. He had the range of his vacated trench perfectly, and, holding the high ground, he could see what he was shooting at. Shells began to crash down among the companies, whole squads were blotted out, and men choked and coughed as the reek of high explosive caught at their wind-pipes. "Lordy, sln't we ever goln' te get outa this dam' place an' get at 'em" A shell with a driving band loose came with a banshee scream, anl men and pieces of men were blown and the First Battalion of the Fifth marines are withdrawn for rest and replacements. After a short test behind the Champagne front, the marines are ssaln ad-vanced, to assist the French In a terrlflo drive against the heights of Blano Mont. CHAPTER VII Continued 10 Courteous and sauve, although he swayed on his feet from weariness and his eyelids drooped from loss of sleep, the Frenchman summed up the situation for the marine captain. "We hold this fire trench. In your sector are four communication trenches run-ning to the Kssen work, which Is about a hundred meters distant We hold most of the boyau on the ex-treme right; the others we have bar-ricaded. You cannot take this Essen trench by frontal assault !" "Why can't we?" growled the American. "When It is light you will see, Mon Capltalnel You can only get forward by bombing your way In the boyaux. They are too strong In machine-guns- , the Roche. Now I take my men and go. Seven days and nights we have been on our feet . . . those of us who , are left are very tired It Is well that you be watchful In this place, but do not stir up the Boche yonder. They shoot with mlnenwerfers when you frighten them. Such a one fin-ished my pauvre enpltalne and six men with him. Bon chance, Mon Cap-Ituln- Bon Jour!" "Cheerful bird, wasn't be?" re-marked the captain. "Wonder If that thing I stepped on Just outside this hole was his captain? John, before It gets good daylight, don't you want to take a look-se- e at this Essen trench? Take whoever you want and see how were grinning. "Goln fine up there, bovs, goln' fine!" "Looklt, fellers I Got a bon bllghty We'll give 'em your re-gards In Paris l" For awhile now the battalion hnlt-e-keeping Its distance from the unit ahead. The men lay on their rifles snd expressed unreasonable yearnings for food. "Eat? Eat? Hell I Shock troops ain't supposed to eat 1" Officers cast anxious glances toward the utter-ly exposed left. The French attack had failed to keep abreast of the American. The left company, the Seventeenth, was In a cover of scrubby trees. The other companies were likewise con-cealed. Only th Forty-nint- lay per-- force in the open, on a bleak, shell-pocke- d slope. A high-flyin- g Boche plane spotted Its platoon . columns, asprawl eighty or a hundred yards apart on the chalky ground. "No good," said the second cocking his head gander-wis- e In his flat helmet, "Is goln' to come of that dam' thing guess all our noble avia-tors have gone home to lunch." The plane, high and small and shining in the sky, circled slowly above them. Far back of the Boche lines there was a railroad gun that took a wire-less from the wheeling vulture. "Listen." said the captain, "listen to th- -" There were lots of shells passing over the long tearing whine of the 75s, the coarser voices of the Boche 77s replying, and heavy stuff, but most of it was breaking behind or In front of the battalion. Into this roof of sound came a deeper note a far-of-f rumble that mounted to an enor-mous shattering roar, like a freight train on a down-grad- The company flattened against the ground like the world shook and trldges, and reeled under them as a nlne-lnc- b shell crashed Into the earth fifty yards ahead, exploding with a cataclysmic detonation that rocked their senses. An appalling geyser of black .smoke and torn earth leaped skyward, Jagged splinters of steel whined away, and stones and clods showered down. Be-fore the smoke had lifted from the monstrous crater the devastating rum-ble came again, and the second shell roared down fifty yards to the rear. "Oh, Lordy I They've got us brack-eted r "I saw that one I I saw It look right where the next one's gonna bit, an' "Look where it's gonna hit I Lawd, If I Just knew It wasn't gonna hit me ahh 1 The third shell came, and men who risked an eye could see It a dark, tremendous streak, shooting straight down to the quivering earth. A yawn-ing hole opened with thunder fairly between two platoon colnmns, and th earth vomited. . . . It was won-derful shooting. All the shells that followed dropped between the columns of prone men but not a man was hit 1 The heavy projectiles sank far into the chalky soil, and the explosions ..nt th desdly fragments outward the land lies." - The Essen trench had been very active when the companies were being posted; staccato bursts of machine-gu- n fire had ripped across the Inter-vening dark, and Sprlngflelds had an-swered. There had been some bomb-ing around traverses In the boyaux. But when In the creeping grayness of the dawn, the lieutenant from the Forty-nint- h ventured across to It with his orderly and a sergeant ; he found the Boche retiring. Filing quickly through the communication trenches, the battalion occupied It without diff-iculty, and, looking around them, were very glad they hadn't had to take it by storm. And the captain understood why the French lieutenant had said It couldn't be stormed. The French had tried the evening before to cross the scant dis-tance and get Into It Most of those who had charged lay as the Boche Maxims bad cut them down. In one place, between two boyaux that formed with the opposed lines a rough square of perhaps one hundred yards, he counted eighty-thre- e dead French-men. Lying very thick near the Up of their own trench, the bodies formed a sort of wedge, thinning to-- .. . t Oiav hail tidon HpH. Pushed Their Way Onward. In the air.

"Far enough to the left," the .major sent word. "We will wait here. The Sixth leads we're the' last battalion In support today." Coming from the mase of trenches In the rear, the assault regiment began to pass through the Fifth, at-- 1 tallon following battalion at 500- - yard distances. A number of French "Baby" tanks started with the assault-ing waves, but it was an evil plac for tanks. Tank traps, trenches so wide that the little fellows went nose-dow- n Into them and stuck, and direct fire from Boche artillery stopped the most of them. The battalion was out of the trench anil aitintr forward regulating Its pace on the battalion ahead. All at once there was a snapping and crack-ling In the air a corporal spun round and collapsed limply, while bis blouse turned red under bis gas mask the man beside him stumbled and went down, swearing through grayish lips and over the company. More than a dozen shells were fired In all, the high sinister plane wheeling overhead the while. Then the company went forward with the battalion, very glad to move.

The company, which had learned Its own bitter lesson In frontal attacks on machine-guns- ; gave passing tribute. "Them Frogs, they eat machine-gun- s up. FIghtta' sons o' guns, they are. Wonder If any chow Is comln' up today?" They made themselves com-fortable among the dead and waited the next move with equanimity. "Two hundred and thirty-on- e men, sir," reported the sliding Into the shallow dugout where the captain was holed up. "Mighty lucky, so far. I'm goln' to sleep. There's some shellln', especially to-ward tne left, but most of the outfit is pretty well under cover." Gouraud's battle roared on to the left with swelling tumult The Amer-icans, In their sector, passed the day In ominous quiet They wondered what the delay was, speculated on the strategy of attack which Is a matter always sealed from the men who de-liver the attack and wore through to the evening of October 2. At dark, food came up In marmlte cans beef and potatoes and a little coffee. "Put ours on that mess-ti- there," directed the as his orderly slid in with his and the captain's ra-tions. The captain sat up in his cor-ner a little later, when the attack orders came np. There was a brief penciled order from the major, and maps. The two officers bent over them eagerly.

For the new con-gress will have In Its membership no less than eight women members of the bouse of representatives, the largest number In Its history. In 1017 Jeannette Kunkln of Mon-tana attracted nationwide attention as the first woman to be elected to as did Miss Alice Bobertson of Oklahoma when she was sent to Washington by the voters of the Soon-er state in 1921. But so accustomed have we become to the Idea of wom-en office that the seat-ing In high public of eight women In congress this commen, Mrs. Iluth Hnnna McCormlck of Illi-nois, and Mrs. Rutb Pratt of New York. "What's in a name?" was asked once more when they were can-didates in the last election, and there was evidently something In the name Ruth, for all three were elected. Or If you prefer a Biblical figure to a Shakespearean, It might be said that these three modern Ruths were suc-cessful gleaners of votes In the po-litical field of 1028. Of the group of five congresswomen who have served previous terms, Mrs. Norton Is the only one who muy be said to have come to congress "In her own right." All of the others, In a fashion. Inherited their congressional mantles from their husbands. Mrs. Kahn, Mrs. Rogers, and Mrs. Oldfield, are widows who were appointed or elected after the deaths of their hus-bands. Mrs Langley was elected by the people of ber state as a "vindi-cation" of her husband, formerly a representative, who had been convict-ed of violation of the prohibition laws. Of the three new congresswomen. two mav also be said to have "Inherit- - board of aldermen of New York city, she enjoyed more than local fame as the "Lady Astor of Manhattan Pol-itics" and as the "principal baiter of the Tammany Tiger" on many civic problems. In fact all of the congresswomen have bad political experience which fits them for the roles they are to play In the new congress with Its rec-ord number of women members. Mrs. McCormick's Introduction to public life was as secretary to her father. Senator Mark Hanna, during the sec-ond McKlnley campaign. As a help-mate for her husband during his ca-reer in Washington, her knowledge of politics Increased. Although Mrs. Langley was her husband's successor In congress, she had had political experience of her own before that time. She was the first woman member of the Repub-lican stute central committee In Ken-tucky and served as vice chairman. She was the first chairman of the state organization of Republican wom-en, an alternate to the national Re-publican cwvontion In 1020 and a del ecate In 1924. Mrs. Norton's distinction lies in the fact that she was the first Democratic woman to be elected to congress. She has been a social service worker In the duy nurseries In Jersey City, bd served on the Democratic state com-mittee, was delegate at large to the Democratic national committee and has been a member of the New Jersey state legislature. Except as "congressional wives," Mrs. Kahn and Mrs. Rogers bad bad no political experience previ-ous to their election to congress. Neither had Mrs. Oldfield, but as the wife of the Democratic "whip" In the house, who was always successful In lining up members of his party In crit-ical measures, she always manifested a keen Interest In the work of that body and thus was amply educated for her duties when she was elected to congress herself. year will not cause as much as the seating of but one did twelve y68 rs fl 0 To five of the congresswomen, an call In the house of rSsegntat.ves will be no spcc.n served In the Sev-- . all of them Setb congress.

Mrs. Owen has another dis-tinction that of being the only for-mer British subject since the early days of the republic, to be elected to She Is the widow a seat In congress of MaJ.

Although Mrs. Pratl tins no such political lierili.se as the other two Ruths, she had achieved distinction In her own state before she eutered the national arena.
