F.'S BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS Sp much was going on four years ago this month, so man y fronts were flashing into activity, so definitely had the tide of battle turned in favor of the Al lied Armies, that it is doubtful if anyone save the man who was actually in it even now under stands to the full the significance the Meuse-Ar- That is why October of 191S will go down in history as; the bloodiest month in the annals of Americans arms. One comparison will suffice. It is supplied by Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, Chief of the Statistics Branch of the General Staff dur ing the war. In The War With Germany: A Statistical Sum mary," he declares: In some wavs N the Meuse-Ar-gonne offers an interesting re semblance to the Battle of the I Wilderness, fought from May 5 to 12, 1864, in the Civil War. Both were fought over a terrain covered with tangled woods and death of him that dieth, saith the J of the Battle of the Lord God: wherefore turn your- j gonne. bt. iVliliiel was a romp selves, and live ye.

Evidently the spirit of those people has not changed, and they still would consider,, a treaty a "mere scrap of paper " Secretary of Labor Davis de clares that strife and blood-shed in Nation's industrial life has reached proportions of "disgrace to our whole civilization and calls upon labor to help restore industrial relations to an orderly basis. That is the right spirit and it is to be hoped that labor will generally adopt that method of broko out on the new line estab lished by the victory, but there- is nothing sensational in a stab ilizing front, and here, too, only the man who was left in to hold it appreciates what an evil sector it became after September 13th. The same is true of the Ar gonne. A splendid jumpoff, fol lowed by misty, muddy weeks of tooth-and-nail battling and inch-by-inch gains that was the Ar gonne. Meanwhile the French and British were counting their advance by the kilometer, dash ing ahead into ground that had been in hostile hands from the start of the war. Several reas ons were responsible for their underbrush. The Wilderness was regarded as a long battle, marked by slow progress, against obstinate resistance, with ver heavy casualties. Here the ilarity ends. The Meuse-Ar lasted si times as long Battle of the Wilderness, x times times as many troops wel engaged as were on the Union side. They used in the action ten times as many guns and fir ed about one hundred times as many rounds of artillery ammu nition. The actual weight of the ammunition fired was greater than that usec by the Union forces during the entire Civil Wari Casualties were perhaps four times as heavy as among the Northern troops in the Bat tie of the "Wilderness." The Bat tle of the Meuse-Argonne was beyond compare the greatest ever fought by American troops, and there have been few,' if any. greater battles in the history of the world.
