T TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1010.' H L S I IS OF I!WETY-FiRST FILLED Replacements Arrive Before Entraining for Belgium. WEST STILL PREDOMINATES Scones In Derastated Region Give Doughboy Seir Respect for British Fighters. BY COLIN V. DTMENT. American Red Cross Searcher with tho 91st Division. FORTY-THIRD ARTICLE. Just before entraining for Belgium from the Revigny area, northwest of Dar-le-duc a few miles, the 91st took in several thousand replacements. There after it was still a Pacific coast and Kocky mountain division, but not to the overwhelming' degree that it had been in the Argonne. Just after arrival in Belgium, more replacements came in. so that the di vision went into the Belgian offensive with not fewer than 6000 strangers. These men had never seen action. They came, for the most part, from the S4th, a replacement division. They were middle west men from Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin principally, with a sprinkling from Kentucky, Indiana and Iowa. They were willing and brav. but green; beside them, the far west men, with only from nine to 14 days of fighting behind them, seemed like old timers. The American learns quickly to fight. The large ' proportion of deaths in Belgium from among the re placements showed that the Argonne veterans knew better how to protect themselves. Mud and Wet Not Liked. The Argonne may have been a hard Place to fight in, but the prospect of fighting in Belgium was not viewed with relish. Scarcely anyone in the 91st had ever seen Belgium and to the average doughboy Belgium was mere ly a low, wet, muddy region some where up north, with a starving popu lation that America had been feeding and the Germans abusing. The dough boy's principal impression, however, was of the mud and the wet, which he had gleaned from reading accounts of the British fighting in .Flanders and of the trench feet and rheumatism he believed were sooner or later inevi table from the trench style of war fare. His only hope was to make it an open fight as he had in the Argonne. "What a westerner would relish least would be a winter of trench raids, of standing outpost in water, so amid the "kidding" of the replacements on the 400-mile rail trip to Belgium, there were gloomy thoughts too among the oldtimers; for it was then past middle October, and winter was coming on. The division went down the Marne, past Chateau-Thierry, west of the old Somme battlefield, by Amiens, through part of the coal district of northeast Krance and into the Ypres basin. There, in the Yires country, it beheld that amazing spectacle of destruction that foAir vvears of stationary warfare had "wrought. It saw the shellholes, ten, even 20, times as thick as the Argonne shellholes; the wretched dugouts; the trenches in which the British and their colonials died; the thousands upon thousands of crosses above British graves; the ruined equipment of war such as tanks, guns and aeroplanes, and it saw towns so much worse de stroyed than those of the Argonne that in instances only a British sign board told where a town had been. Respect for British OronN. Hitherto many 9-lst men had thought of the British as persons who fed them badly on troop ships so that the crews might graft from the ration allowance and. as persons who had a nasty habit of saying, "Well, you're Just three years late, aren't you?" Now, however. when they saw what had been endured eince in the ipres basin, a re spect and a sympathy began to creep in, The division detrained on Passchen daele ridge, that long, wide, quite flat misnamed piece -of country ' between Ypres basin and the Menin-Roulers railway, which the British had failed to cross just one year before at a cost of nearly as many casualties as the United States had In tho war. The men gazed around with an awakened feeling. They were seeing at last what fighting In Belgium must have been like. From Passchendaele ridge east to Roulers is ten miles; from Roulers on to Ingelmunster is about seven more In the area between Roulers on th west and Ingelmunster on tho east and two to three miles north and south of the Roulers-Ingelmunster road. The men were billeted in farm houses, barns and villages. The Hun bad just fled from this region in front of British-French pressure, and the Belgians were a. newly freed people. Because they had become accustomed to German occupation and because they still did not know what the outcome would be, their welcome was hot ef fusive, but on the whole it seemed to bo a welcome nevertheless, and since living conditions were so much better than they had been in the Argonne, and since the Belgians often did acts of kindness without taking pay, the western soldier was rather inclined to like them. Battle Known to Be Impending;. Ten days were spent in tho area. Ise ghem, Emelghem, Cachtem, and one or two other towns in addition to Ingel munster and Roulers are remembered by 91st men with a fairly agreeable leenng, . although . a . fast-rising price scale in the towns, the scarcity of chocolate and candy, and the German sounding language of the Flemish, made them a little conservative. Also there was the impending battle, for the 91st knew it had not como to Bel gium for fun. On October 29 certain units began to move eastward again. On October 30 the whole division was under way. It did not have far to go. Ten. miles east of Ingelmunster, the city of Waereghem was still part German, part British, and was rapidly being de stroyed. Waereghem' s population in peace was about 20,000, Belgian popu lations running much larger than those of the towns of the Argonne. Waereghem was to be the northern point on the 91st jumpoff line. Line North l'rom Steenbrugge. The southern point was to be Steen brugge, a hamlet two and one-half miles south by southeast of Waere ghem. A Belgian block road runs be tween, and this road was the jumpoff line. The 361st field hospital re mained at Roulers, the 362d, 364d and 364th went to Oyghem, five miles be hind Waereghem. Infantry, machine gun battalions, artillery, engineers, trench mortar men, and the signal bat talion, moved up to the Waereghem Steenbruggo line or into tho area just back of it, while the 316th supply train plied back and forth night and day, and the 316th military police took over their usual work as traffic "directors, and general efficiency men, from the front line clear back to Roulers. Mil itary police are not popular, and out of the darkness are jollied a lot, but tho M. P's of the 91st were an ef fective body that was called upon for constant hard work, usually without glory, but not always without danger. The artillery was an outfit new to the 91st; the 122d, 123d and 124th field artillery, an Illinois brigade, had dono the work in the first Argonne fight; now for the Belgian fighting tho 107th, 108th and 109th field artillery, com prising the 63d brigade, in large part a Pennsylvania contingent, was brought up. Ninety-first men often speak well of their artillery support in Belgium, and the 53d brigade gave It. Another American division had also been moved to Belgium the 37th and Just as the 37th had gone in on the Argonne at the side of the 91st, so it did in Belgium only in Belgium It was on the 91st's left and in the Argonne had been at the right. At the left of the 37th were French; at the right of the 91st, English. Thus along tho Flanders front on the night of October 30, 1918, Belgian, French, American and English divisions were preparing to jump. The zero hour was set for 5:30 A. M. of the 31st. A short but exceedingly great artillery preparation was to pre cede it, and a creeping barrage to be laid. The French and English had hun dreds of guns parked in the meadows, on the roads, in barnyards, in clumps of trees and behind banks and hay stacks, and when the barrage began along the -whole front the shells were to be as thick as a machine-gun dis charge. Just as In tho first Argonne, tho 363d and 364th infantry regiments were to have the left wing of the 91st front, from Waereghem south; and the 361st and 362d were to have the right wing, from Steenbrugge north. Machine (un on Motor. The 346th machine gun battalion, a motorized outfit, was again in reserve. It had been in reserve in the first Ar gonne, lying by day in the orchard at Epinonville after the orchard was taken on September 28, but moving by night over to the left flank near Eclis fontaine to ward off any eounter-at-tack. No counter-attack was made, and so tho 346th got through the Ar gonne with about six men killed. It was even more lucky In Belgium, being held for emergencies. The 346th was a well-drilled outfit of high intelligence; it contained many college men; it lost its chance to fight because it was motorized, and so could move quickly in case of the pinch" that never came. The 316th engineers were not sent over the topin Belgium as they had been in the Argonne, but they had work equally dangerous when the line got to the Scheldt and it was necessary to throw bridges across into Audenarde. The 347th and 348th machine battal ions got into the fighting, especially th 347th. Trfe objective was Audenarde. The distance from Steenbrugge and Waere ghem to Audenarde was eight miles by airline, Audenarde lying opposite a point about the middle of the 91st line. Audenarde was a city of 40.000 on the Scheldt. Before the city proper was entered, two Scheldt river canals had o be crossed. To some Audenarde may better be known as Oudenarde, scene of battle won in 1705 by the British. The front line hid in cellars in Waere ghem and in buildings along the front on the right of the 30th and awaited the zero hour. divouc THROWING SHOES CHARGED The beginning of tho battle of Audenarde, or the Scheldt river battle. will be described tomorrow.

Mr. Miller had just been haled to the wit ness stand by more or less force after being- & silent spectator of his wife's attempt to secure a divorce by default. iNot aitogetner, was the grudging reply. Edna L. Miller had testified that her husband married her to avoid the draft and that he had refused to sup port her in any way. She declared he was in the courtroom and pointed him out. Judge Stapleton expressed a de sire to see him closer. Clerk Joe Rogers went to the man. is your name E. J. Miller?" he asked. Husband Escorted to Stand. It's nothing to you," was the re sponse. Taking the man by the arm Rogers led him to the witness stand. where, after a bit of diBcus.ion as to whether raising of the left hand would be proper in a man being sworn to tell the truth, he was interrogated by the jurist. Miller said that ha did not get along very well with his wife, that he wanted to buy a house and she didn't and that he did not want her to get a divorce. How many times did you ask her to let you buy a house?" asked the judge. Oh, two or three times." "Why, I've been trying something similar for 35 years," declared the judge. The case was taken under ad visement for a month. 'He said I married him for his money, complained Elizabeth fc.. pnill chi, as she sought a decree from frank Philichi. "He had $225 when I mar ried him." She received the decree. Throwing: Shoes la Charged. Bonita Felice declared that her hus band refused to believe that the young soldier he found in their home wh. n he returned unexpectedly one after noon was a book agent, and that Ralph Felice threw shoes at her and hit her on the head With a skillet. T. W. McArthur, a city fireman, as serted that Lucy A. McArthur packed up all his things and told him to "get the hell out of there," as she ceffld get along much better in the worll with out him than with him. Alice R. Mays maintained that E. C. Mays Was "sot" in his ways, that his way was the only way he would con sider, that he did not believe in things relisrious and scoffed at her beliefs.

Default Decrees Granted. She married Griffith June 7, 1914 when she was 17 years old and he a widower with two children. Other default divorces granted were: to. J. Hamilton from G. D. Hamilton; Frances A. James from Edwin James W. Crosbie from Ruth Crosble; Marthi Tarney from C. E. Tarney; Mabel L Phillips from M. A. Phillips; Alexander C. Hinkle from Nellie Hinkle. The marriage of Olive E. Krelschmer and J. M. Daniels was annulled. Alimony of $12,000 is asked by Minnie Powell in a suit for divorce filed yes terday against Stephen D. Powell in the circuit court. She alleges her hus band to be worth $40,000. She married him in Salem in 1916. He would not sit at the table or speak to her friends, she asserts; told her she ought to have an anesthetic and have her tongue cut out; would alternately lock front and side doors of the house when she went out in the evening to church to give her trouble in getting into the house on her return, and would make her borrow matches from neighbors rather thai allow her to buy them. Love Wanes, Declares Wife. Elizabeth M. Lamson says that Will lam S. Lamson, whom she married at Vancouver, Wash., April 17, 1919. told her he did not love her any more and nags and growls at her.

Klep per, president of the Aero Club ef Ore gon, in response to the club'a reauest for tho establishment of the aeroplane lire patrol through co-operation with the forest service. The greatest flifficultr to the estab lishment of the aeroplane patrol at the present time is the scarcity of trained echanics who could DroDorlv care for the government planes. Senator Mc Nary said.

I think I have reached a con clusion with respect to this matter and know precisely the state of mind of the department of agriculture and the department of war. The chief forester and his assistants who have to do the forest protecting are heartily In favor of a plan to use air craft in locating and exterminating forest fires. Indeed, thev have established near San Diego an experi mental neia lor tnis purpose and they are anxious to establish one at Portland thi spring, but they did not have the equipment ann requested me to take the matter up with the war department.

On January 23, 1018. he left by request of the school j board. Romance Cause of Woe. Hanville says that he walked into the light and power office one afternoon and came away minus his heart. He left it at the wicket, with Miss Lela Ash worth, daughter of W. H. Ashworth, of Astoria. It was business hours and Hanville said nothing to the busy young woman, but he lost no time in advancing his suit after hours. There were dances and parties, an introduction, a little quarrel, a recon ciliation and all that sort of thing." mused Hanville, contemplating his skinned knuckles. "Then I sent the young lady a note asking if I might buy the engagement ring. There was the devil to pay! Instead of an answer from Miss Ashworth, I received a stern and insulting note from her father." Thereupon, declares Hanville, Ash worth persuaded the school board to call for the principal's resignation. He was summoned to appear before the board, he relates, and told them of his depth of affection for the lovely Miss Ashworth. challenging their right to obstruct the course of true love. Damage Suit Considered. "But they 'canned' me." grieved Han ville. "I was dismissed for proposing like a true American to the girl I loved." For a time the discharged principal dallied with the prospect of a $10,000 damage suit against the school board. he declares, for "injury to character and professional reputation. ' Then he gave up the strife and returned to Portland. 1 ve had a year and more to think it over in." said Hanville Monday night upon his return from Astoria. "I didn't forget. I had learned that Hus- song, who always said he was my friend, was at the bottom of the perse cution, bo I hopped the train this morning and went to Astoria. I walked into Hussong's office. He started up from his chair. Score la "Settled." snnmp, I ssid to him, I v come to settle the score." Then 1 biffed him. The worst that I got in the fray was skinned knuckles and a lab in the cheek from his pen. I left him there, all sprawled out, and came away. I guess they had the po'ii"0 out looking for me. but I Jumped into a car, traded hata with the driver, and breezed out of town. We caught the Portland-bound train a half-mile out of Astoria. "One swipe with the left hand is enough to whip a human fraction like Hussong," laughed Hanville, "but wait till- I meet Ashworth. There'll be real fight then. Ill train for six months If necessary but in the end I'll convert him into a tottering ruin. I am still at a loss to know what my crime was for which I was driven from Astoria. If It consisted of being a gen tleman, an American and of proposing to the girl of my choice, then I plead guilty. Doughty I. over Expects Poller. Since his discharge from the Astoria schools Hanville has taught school In the vicinity of Portland, has operated real estate office and is now engaged In art work. When Hanville was Interviewed he said that ha expected the police would be looking for htm and declined to give his address. Late last night he had not been apprehended. A warrant for his arrest has been Issued In Astoria, and Portland police have been asked to arrest him. Phone your Want ads to The Orego- nian. Phone Main 7070.
