ROMAGNE . The Amoriraii SHIUary Onietery iu the Motise-Argonne Biitth Area By Richard Seelyc Jones After the first phase of Ameri ca's greatest battle on September 26 and 27, of 191S, had veil ad vanced the long linfr which had its left on the western edge of the Argonne Forest and Its right on the banks olLtheRiver Mease, and had moved around and over the great hill of Montfaucon, there was a pause along,' this sector to the north of that hjli. New divis ions came in to relieve the troops whicli had been sorely battered in the fighting on those terrific slopes. The 37th Division and the 79th were to find temporary rest and replacement for the casualties of those early days of the crown ing conflict of the war. Later this, one again hurled itself against the enemy far to the north and west, in Flanders, and -the other renewed the offensive on the right bank of the Meuse. The 3 2d and 3d" divisions took their places, attacking on October 4th from a line along the road between Nantillois and Gierges and westward toward Exermont, and continuing, the attack day af ter day until the approached an other road, that which lies be tween Cunel and Romagne-sous-Montfaueon. The 3d was trying to take this road, the 32d fighting more to the left, with the town of Romagne theoretically on the boundary line: between the zones in which those divisions were to advance. And then the fth division was sent in to relieve the 3d. On the 13th and 14th of October units f the 32d were into the town of (Continued on pay 3.) A DAY THAT BREAKS WITH PLEASURE FOR YOUTHY OVERSEAS J - IEME OF MAY DAY MEET "The Message of May" Be ins; Rehearsed in Many Towns; Songs Given A triple celebration symbolizing various phases of childhood is be ing planned for the approaching May Day, with the participation centering in a children's musical program. It happens that May Day is not only National Chifd Health Day but the opening day of National Music Week and the closing day of Children's Week. It was "with these observances in mind that the American Child Health , association asked . tlip Na tional Music Week Committee to collaborate with it in preparing this musical program, "The Mes sage of May." The result of that collaboration i.i in the form of a brief musical program or service suitable riot only for Sunday schools but' for secular groups of young people. It is therefore being recommended for use not only by the Federal Council of churches but by the various national organizations making contact with young people such as the YMCA, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Girl Reserves and by the local child health com mittees in the various cities.

C T SEPULCHER MECCA ALL niSTEIOM Easter Crowds Go Through Holy City; Sacred Alike 1o Many People JERUSALEM M (AP) The Holy City is crowded with pil grims and tourists here for the an nual Easter celebrations tomor row. Sacred alike to Christians. Mos lems and .lews. Jerusalem today presents a bewildering variety of garb and bead-dress worn by the faithful who are gathering from many parts of the world. Americans outnnmber all other nationalities more than .14,000, the largest number in history, al ready have visited the Holy Land this year. A special committee of American residents, headed by Edward Blatchford of Chicago, is assisting visitors from the Unite States to find a place to eat and sleep in the crowded city. There are Roman Catholic priests from New York, Chicago and other midwestern cities here to guide their followers to the holy land places connected with the life and death of Jesus Christ, and Protestant clergymen from the Atlantic seaboard to officiate at Holy Week services. Politically, conditions in the Bi bue lands are more tranquil than at any time since the World War. In Palestine the Arabs are getting along better with the Zionists, and across the hills In Syria, the Druses apparently have tired of their struggle with the French. The cactns-lined reads through the olive groves from the sea coasts and the river Jordan are alive with travelers on horseback, in automobiles and on foot all bound for Jerusalem. Once inside the three miles of walls which encircle the Holy City the dusty streets are'tull of ani mated life. Busy, practical twenl tieth century life has, permeated Jerusalem and altered many of the Bibical scenes.

The num ber on the roll is' somewhat less than that of the fall term, a fact which is largely due to the raising of the standards of the school, in accordance with the progressive policy being carried out by Presi dent. Landers. Honor- students must have carried not less than 16 hours' wrork and received no grade less than a two. ,The sen iors are in the. majority on the roll for the winter term. In pre paring the. h,onor list it. was found that twostudents Lempie Davis Of Portland and Mrs. Fay Isom of Roseburg-tied in scholarship to head , the list as honor student, each having carried. 17 hours' work ; and received the same grades. Mrs. iBom's course; how ever, was much the heavier of the two, but due to the fact that Mis Datls had represented the normal in the intercollegiate ; oratorical contest, the committee decided to give, a slight, preference to Mis Datls, thus placing her at the head of the honor list.
