Headquarters of the Fourth French

front of five to six miles between the
Aisne and the Argonne, in conjunc-

"The mein attack was smith of the

The gunfire was terrific, and this
made the going easy for the overseas

"The Idea of the Canadians in using
this groat barrage was to crush the
resistance as quickly as possible, so
as to save Allied lives. The bombard -
'meet had the desireed effect, for the
opposition offered bee the enemy was
not strong, and•the Canadians pushed

Condemned Wooden Cars+—

Blamed.
New York Report—With the death
toll placed at 98 by the Brooklyn
police, rigid investigations were under
way to -day by the Public Service Com-
mission, ,the district attorney, and
Mayor Hylan, to determine the blame
for the wreck, last mghte.of a Bright-
on Beach train of tlie Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, at the :Walborn St.
tunnel, Brooklyn. Yesterday's strike
of motormen and motor switchmen of
the company, welch was coincident
with the tragedy, was settled during
the early morning hours, company or.
flcials agreeing to reinstate 29 dis-
charged union employees. The com-
pany previously had rerused to obey
the order of the War Trade Board and
take back the men.
Interest in the investigation centred
on Wm. Lewis, motorman of the ill-
fated train, who was arrested on a
charge of homicide at his home early
to -day, after he had fled from the
scene in terror. Mayor Hylan, who
visited Lewis in the Platbush police
station soon after his arrest, issued
this statement:
"Lewis admitted to me that this
was his first run over the road. Ile
said he was going thirty nillesan hour.
No man should be allowed to run a
train without at least three months'
training."
Another.pha.se of to -day's hive:saga-
