The colored, fliihters received Instructions that whenever they came across an uncxploded shell they were not to touelf it, but to put up a little stick In side (t witU a note o flint the iliniiiti.nl salvagers could find it inter. The doughboys soon made the dls-..edvA-y that the Oernians in tlielr fight abandoned hundreds of machine guns and even larve pieces of artillery ' which the Yankees, !n 'their hurry to 1 advance, had fulled to see. ' Loaded In Box Cars. . One of the discoveries made by the Americans who Inive completed the task of cleanhiK up the biittletleld was the unusually lare nuinlier ot- ma chine guns Hie Oeiiiiiiiis had Installed la the Argonne forest. No Information was secured as to the number the enemy was able to save ..In his night i toward the Ithlne, but thousands, of ' these weapons were left behind. In j one siiinll sector of the battlelleld sev- I eral hundred cars were loaded with! machine guns. In one town located In the rear of: the battlefield there Is a pile of brass I shell cases, aliandmicd by the Her mans, that would m' e than till the j hold of a largo mean freighter. It i was estimated that nearly I.uOO.O.KI shell cases had been piled In that vil lage. These have lreen purchased by the French government. Salvage Work Expensive. Experts with the American evr"dl tlonary forces have estimated that the Yankees had captured 'J(M) per cent more war liooly In the Argonne forest than their records will show. This was due. it Is said, to the rapidity of j the American ndinace nnd to the liurry of the German to leave their dugouts and weapons and surrender to their conquerors. The work of cleaning up the Ar-1 f Koime oaiiieiieiti. However, lias been an expensive one, although vast quautl ties of copper, brass and steel have been salvaged. It has cost more than $i!,(HJ0,0UO to complete the task, but the work has been a success financial ly, as the booty Is worth more than twice that stiln.
