subjected to an attack by submarines on the way to France, one of the ships ill the convoy having been sank by a German submarine.

This sinking was announced about two weeks ajco and it was said at the rtime that the troops on the ship, all of whom were tended eafe in Englaud, were mainly from Ohio and Illinois.

It is also regarded as probable here that some Indiana troops were on the ship. It is-Also permitted to say that the 84th division went to Franca by 5T*y of Rn gland.

The division, which already lias reached a high state of training, will b« behind the lines for intensive trainin* for some time before It is sent to i the front.,

The usual rale fs tf send new troops to a quiet sector for their first baptism i of fire and it Is probable that within a few weeks word will have been received of the 84th division holding a part of the line in a quiet sector.

Tho division has already been assigned to an army corps. After its training is dompleted on the front lines, it will be assigned to this army corps and will be a part of the 1st American army operating temporarily under U»e commaad o# General Ferah* uig.

FIGHTING IN VERDUN IS

American Soldiers Press Forward In Depressing Darkness When Death X/ies In Ambush.

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS EST FRANCE, Sunday, Sept. 29.—(Reuter).—Fighting along the new front northwest of Verdun has settled down to the dreary business to which the machine gun has reduced modern warfare. Progress is being measured by the laborious reduction of small points which are held by small groups of men, but able to paralyze forces out of all proportion to their lighting value.

From a dramatic viewpoint the greatest fighting has taken place In the Argonne forest, where it has resembled a duel fought to the finish in a dark room. The density of the forest is complicated by the strangeness of the ground, which resembles no' jing so much as the backbone and rits of a flat fish with the ribs on one elde shortened to half their length ^id the backbone running north and south.

These ribs represent a series of ridges and ravines which are most perilously steep on the eastern side, hut less abrupt and longer farther west. The ravines follow each other in ceaseless succession along the backbone for about 25 miles. To force such a position would be sufficiently difficult if it had been in enemy hands only a short time, but harder since he hag been in possession of it for years.

When the enemy had built a series of stone mansions beneath the hill sides and constructed approaches of stone lined trenches the formidable character of the task may be understood. But even more formidable fian the dugouts and trenches is the wire woven endlessly among the trees. Hundreds npon hundreds of miles of wire have been strung there since two years ago. Through it have grown weeds and grasses more than three feet high, making the obstacle more serious by concealment.

Through-such .a country Americans have beert. fighting their way foot by foot. Young in years, young in experience and in depressing darkness, where death may be ambushed behind any of the myriad trunks of trees and where the rattle of machine guna la multiplied and magnified by the forest into a deafening snarl of thunder, every man knows how «maii his chances are,of being seen by friendly eyes if he should fall.

TERREliE BOYS' ION ON CONVOY

Floyd E. Baber. wh© was Ml, the Terre Haute water works office for years, writes to his old chief to announce the safe arrival in France of every Terre Haute boy as follows:

At Sea.

We took over to France a fine bunch of soldiers on this trip. Perhaps you know some of them—Lawrence w i n u Ivan Kauffman of North Fifth street. Sergt. Chester Smith and Carr Goldsmith. Was surprised to meet so many from Terre Haute. Nothing exciting happened on the trip, and had only a couple days of a "choppy" sea.

Lawrence was telling me about Paul's •oldier life. He sure haa it pretty fine. It ia rattier crowded for the troops goinsr across, but it only lasts for about a week and everybody is glad to land.

We didn't get to go ashore in France this time on account of an epidemic in town. Have been over there four times now and ashore only twice. The last rime I was there I ate supper in a soldiers' camp, and had a good view of some German prisoners.

We bring back with us a few wounded, and they tell us some interesting stories of the front.

Would like to see if I could still read North Eighth street meter book in less than four hours.

trallans and kept a stream of ballets directed at the Germans all the time. The ground over which the Americans passed was littered with German dead and the same was true of other sections of the front. Deep progress was reported virtually everywhere.

By The Associated Press. As a result of terrific attacks by the allies over five sectors the aggregate length of which Is more than 100 miles, the German positions in France appear to be in imminent peril.

From the North sea as far wrath as the St. Quentin region a tremendous battle is now flaming up with the Belgians on the extreme north cutting deep into the positions the enemy has held.since 1914, and with the Americans, British and French smashing the Hindenburg line between Cambrai and St. Quentin.

Northeast fif Solssort*. north of file Asine, the- French nave gained- the crest of the ridge along which runs the famous Chemin JDes Barnes from which the 'Germans apparcnUy are hastily retreating.

In the Cliafhpafcn* sector, Oeti. Gouraud's F"rerich army has smashed its way ahead toward the vital German positions west of the Argonne forest.

East of the forest and west of the Meuse, Gen. Llggett's American army appears t» be crashing the enemy's resistance as it irresistibly crawls northward.'

Germans Fight Desperately. Everywhere the Germans are fighting with deeperate valor. There is little Indication that the morale of the enemy was broken down under the sledge-hammer blows of the allies. It is only by fighting of the bitterest character that the gains made during the past day have been possible.

Realizing that he stands witft his back to the wall and in danger of disaster the enemy is battling with all the resources at his disposal to check the allies ..before his lines are forced to break and his entire army in France is forced to retreat toward Germany.

Reports during the past day would seem to indicate that Marshal Foch'a strategy in the present battle of battles is very similar to that followed during th« Marne, gomne and St. Mihiel drives. He is attacking the wings of the German positions and intends,. by exerting pressure, to compel the center of the enemy line to retire.

Cambrai Is Near Fall.

A'gaiin the offensive tactics of the al lien may-'be likened to an Immense pinoar which is slowly but inexorably closing. Far to the north 'the Belgians hare cut deeply into the German positions and not only threaten the enemy submarine bases along the Belgian coast, but also place the German line farther south in extrme peril. ^-Cambmiriff now near Its fall, apparently.- and south of that town the allies are far across the St Quentin canal, which was the key of the whole position north of St. Quentin. Farther south the French seem to have conypsletely outflanked St. Quentin and cut -it off from the German strongholds at La Fere and in the St. Go bain forest

Successes by the French along the ridge between the Ailette and Aisne rivers make it virtually impossible for the enemy to hold his lines there. Already a retirement in this sector is admitted by Berlin. It would seem that this retrograde movement will compel the Germans to relocate their front north and east of Rheims.

In the Champagne sector General Go')r-l.ud is slowly moving north to Charlerange a.nd his long range cannon are now within range of Vouzlers, one of the principal German bases on that front,

Americans Driving North* "American forces farther east are mov'ner north along the west side of Uw.'-Meune ri^er and are threatening to outflank the whole Argonne forest and compel the Germans to retire from a .sector which is apparently .vital to the entire enemy line in eastern France.

In Macedonia the allies continue their advance into Bulgaria and are now on the western threshold of that country. On the west front in this theatre, the Italians have forced the Bulgarians back through the mountains toward Albania.

Bulgarian's delegate who will confer with the allies on armistice proposals have arrived at Salohiki. It is reported fro.n Berlin that they were accompanied by the American charge d'affaires at Sofia, who is said to have had "played an important part in recent events."

BrtlTISH IN CAMBRAI.

AHfed Forces Pushing On tn Face of Hard Fight. LONDON, Sept. SO—British, American, and Australian forces pushed forward last night on the front between Bellicourt and Gonnelieu in the face of the severest opposition, Field Marshal Haig announced today.

Four thousand prisoners taken by the allied forces yesterday to the north of St. Quentin and lorty guns were captured there.

British forces have entered the northerly suburbs of Cambrai. On the front northwest of LeCatelet, German counter attacks pressed the British back to the outskirts of VillersGuislain white to the southwest of LeCatelet similar pressure sent Field Marshal Haig's troops back to the edge of the village of Bony.
