11. 8. MARINES
NEW YORK, Dec 13. Buffeted by
high seas which carried away n deck
' house and wrenched a four-inch gun
from its mounting, the American trans
port Dekalb arrived here today from
France with approximately 1150 sol
diers, sailors and marines, nearly 400
of whom had been wounded in action
She was preceded into port by the mail
boat Oregonian, carrying a solitary
tloughboy, Sergeant Leland A. Kauf
man of the Second division headquar-
ters troop, who brought home the
favorite charger of his commander,
Major General Omar Bundy.
Both vessels were given thf warm
est of greetings, being met at ouaran
.ine by the mayor's official commil
:.ee of welcome and escorted to the j
iocks amid the tooting of harbor whis
kies. New York, However, is prepar
ing an even nosier celebration next!
3unday when the Levithian, the giant j
transport, formerly the Vaterland, will!
: oring home 5000 sailors who have seen I
"ictive duty on American craft in for
eign waters. This will be the largest I
number of veterans to arrive here in
, It took the Dekalb eleven days to
make the trip and according to her
commander, Captain E. H. Dodd, U. S.
X., it was the roughest crossing he
. had ever made. For four days and a
half, he. said, the navigator hardly
knew what course he was running,
for during that period the sun, moon
and stars were obscured. Six mem-
j bers of the crew, flung from their feet,
were injured, but although the wound
ed at times had to be tied in their
bunks, they made the voyage without
mishap.
m With the Dekalb came more tales of
American valor. Perhaps the story
! with most action was that told by Pri
vate John H. Marks of the 95th com
pany of marines, Sixth division, who
hails from Thornton, Ark.
Describing the fierce fighting at
Soissons, Marks said that when on
July 10 the Sixth division was ordered
forward to re-enforce the Fifth, his
company had to cross a wheat field in
broad daylight, hammered by German
artillery and faced with innumerable
machine gun nests.
"Down went our men, one after an
other," he said. "We had started at
daybreak but it was dusk when we
reached a stream at which we were
to stop. The Germans had a line on
that place, but under cover of dark-,
ness we dug ourselves in, firing only
when we saw spurts of German fire "
Marks said the worst firing began
when only five of his comra'dos were
left and that "it was useless for us to
keep on fighting against such odds un
less we could secure a machine gun."
He said that two of them, therefore,
had crawled into No Man's land and
come back with three guns whirh had
been cast aside by the Germans.
Although slightly gassed, he rallied
when the Germans attached again and
crawled about, handing to his com
rades rifles and ammunition taken
from dead and wounded Americans.
Then, he said, "when day broke and he
could scarcely stand another ten min
utes of it, a detachmont of French j
i troops came to our rescue." . !

LONDON, Nov. 30. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press) Operations
of the Second American army corps
with the British armies south of Va
lenciennes which won from Field Mar
shal Haig high commendation, are do
scribed in a semi-official statement
now issued. The Second corps was
composed of the 27th Division consist
ing of New York national guard troops,
and the 30th Division consisting of
troops from Tennessee, North Caro
lina, South Carolina, and the District
of Columbia. The corps was com
manded by Major General G. W. Read.
In complimenting- the corps upon its
work in the fighting in the British
sector near Le Cateau and Bohaln,
Marshal Haig said In a message to the
corps: ''I am proud to have had you
In my command. The deeds of the
27th and 30th American divisions will
rank with the higheBt achievements 3f
the war."
The Second American corps was op
erating in conjunction with the Bri
tish Third and Ninth corps and had
crossed the Hindenburg line at what
is described as "perhaps Its strongest
point" near Bolllcourt. The American
corps was called upon on October 5
to take part in a three -day advance

Use Soothing Musterole
When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems as if it would split, just rub a
little Musterole on your temples and
neck. It draws out the inflammation,
soothes away the pain, usually giving
quick relief.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. Better than a
mustard plaster and does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly rec
ommend Musterole for sore throat, bron
chitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neural
gia, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism,
lumbago, pains and aches of the back or
oints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises,
chilblains, frostcH feet colds of the
chest (it often prevents pneumonia). It
is always dependable.

cionnes through Solesmes and Lc Ca
teau to Guise, This line ran along in
front of the Sambre canal. To the
American division was given a task of
pushing out a salient south of Le Ca
teau a strongly armed position, and
holding the line until the flanking di
vision moved up.
On the night of October 5 the 30lh
division took over from two Australian
divisions a front of about three miles.
The operation began on October 8 in
conjunction with the British and
French on either side of the Ameri
cans. The American attack was made
behind a rolling barrage laid down by
British and Australian artillery and
using tanks. In spite of the enemy
counter-barrage, little resistance was
encountered and by noon the 30th di
vision had advanced throe miles and
the villages of Brancourt and Premont
were captured.
: "Consistently, it seems, In these op
erations tho American division was
again at the apex of the advance," says;
the statement.
Tho attack was resumed on the fol
lowing morning and met with only
' rear guard resistance, entering Busig
ny and Becqulgny almost without op
position. The day's advance repre
sented four miles. The movement was
resumed on October 10 when a gain
of 1500 yards was attained and the
villages of Escatifort, St. Souplet and
Vaux Andlgny were taken.
In the three days the Americans and
their allies had advanced nine miles
with the delivery of nino villages and
the capture of 1900 prisoners and num
erous machine-guns. The Fourth army
of which the Second corpB was a part
then stood in front of the Selle river.
On a crest east of this river the Ger
mans seemed to have prepared to make
a stand. A pause was necessary to
bring up supplies and ammunition and
to strengthen the divisions. The front
was shortened to 4,000 yards.
The enemy line west of the Selle.
river was strongly held by five divis
ions, and by elements of six others.
The attack was renewed on October
17 Rain had turned the chalky ground
into a slippery footing and a thick
mist made all sense of location Im
possible. Eleven tanks were sent
across the river and the infantry start
ed over the top behind a rolling bar
rage, the first wave wading the river
while the onglneers placed pontoons
for tho use of the second wave. De
spite an enemy counter barrage and
machine gunners hid in shell holes un
der cover of the fog, the Americans
drove over the crost east of the river
and advanced two miles.
One American division, in conjunc
tion with the Thirteenth British corps
delivered an attack on the following
morning but It was held up by heav
ily organized machine gun posts and
ropeatcd counter-attacks supported by
artillery. Obstinate resistance was
encountered at the village of Ribeau
ville and not until the middle of ,thc
afternoon did the enemy suddenly
weaken and the American advance
move on toward the Sambre canal.
By October 19 the American and Bri
tish forces occupied the last ridge be
fore the canal and a period of prep
aration ensued. The advance had re
sulted In the capture of SL Martin,
Rlvere, Molain, Abre de Guise, Rlbeau

for the six days operations was 13
miles, resulting In the capture of 3400

SALVAGE FACTOR
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Dec. 13
Tho well defined plan for conserva
tion through salvage has put approx
imately $525,000 In the Red Cross
chapter treasuries since January 1,
1918, according to the association's of
ficials. This money is UBed by the
chapters to carry on the vitally im
portant work .of home service and
other necessary Red Cross work.
Salvage is a factor in Red Cross
work which has not been excluded by
the pence proclamation. The Bureau
of Salvage and Shop plans to continue
Its program of conservation as an edu
cational feature in Junior Red CrosB
auxiliaries. With the Juniors at work
'in every chapter in the division, the
lesson of conservation will be an en
during one. So organized, it is planned
to continue the work as a source of
income to chapter treasuries.
What the Juniors can do in this
matter is shown by the following fig
ures: At present old magazines' bring
$25 per ton, and newspapers $10 per
ton, which alone would amount to
$15,00 or $20,000 per month in the di
vision if only a part of the papers were
turned over to the Red Cross. One j
chapter In the division has at present 'f
a steady income of $1500 a month from ,
tin foil and lead foil together with
about $1800 a month from paper waste.
It Js estimated that thousands ot
tons of tin cans can be salvaged for
which no market had developed to
date. Thi3 is in addition to more
familiar articles of junk motal, which
are now being salvaged In chapters.
Interest in the salvage plan has in
creased consistently month by month
throughout tho Pacific division. The
report on file at division headquarters
shows total recelpfs for last January
amounting to $13,134.46. This figure
jumped to $58,757.98 in June, the tblal
for the first six months amounting to
$267,134.46. For the succeeding four
months tho total to date is $235,664,05,
which represents an incomplete report
for tho latter period, and brings the
j total reported to date up to S502.S50-51. 1
