Americans Press On In Argonne Forest
American troops northwest of Verdun drive forward in the Argonne forest amid heavy resistance, outflanking German positions as engineers aid the advance. They capture field guns and numerous machine guns, clear mines, rebuild roads, and extend rail links while gas and artillery counterfire are neutralized. Sugar certificates may be used to November 5, sardine prices rise, and a British torpedo boat sinks after a collision with a merchant vessel with 53 men missing.

Americans Help In Big Attack On Mont Blanc
American troops, advancing behind a rolling barrage in Champagne, stormed Mont Blanc defenses and captured a farm near Sommepy and Wittigny. They pressed along the Sommery to Wittigny highway, coordinating with General Gillraud's army west of the Argonne. Gas and artillery were used, prisoners taken, and German guns and machine nests were overrun. A second note records weather forecasts for New Haven and surrounding areas, and reports Haddam post office burglary with $18 in pennies taken and store stock disturbed.
