FIRE 0"UTRAIN - Passengers WJalk Two BJpeks Above Market Street to Station A crowded'east-bound elevated rail way train caught lire at 0 o'clock this mowing nt-Thirty-eighth and Market streets and was brought to a standstill (wo blocks from the Thirty-sixth street station. There was no evidence of panic among the passengers. Thyy filed out quickly but oulerly from the cars and walked along the elevated structure to the ThiHy sinlli street station. There they den-ended lo the street and took surface cars to the downtown section. One year ago today began the battle of (ho Argounc, thnt marked the break ing of the Hindcnburg line, and proved the ability of' the American' troops to act successfully along extended lines. Tho individual fighting quality, of the men and tho ability of the Americans to fight brilllnntly In the warfare of sharply defined action had already been shown at Chateau-Thierry and at St. Mihiel. General Liggett commanded the First! American army in the Meuse-Argonne i offensive. Ho had under his command the Tirst, Third and Fifth Army Corps. Included In the Third Corps was the ' Second Division, with its brigade of marines. At the opening of the Argonne figlrt the Second Division, under Major General I.ejeune, was engaged In break ing theXiermnn line in the Champagne, leaving that success by forced marching to join In tho big offensive. I The fight began at. 5 a. m. on Sep tember 20. The artillery bombardment of the night had been one of the heaviest on record. The Franco -American front was on both sides of the Argonne forest, between thcSuippes and Meuse rivers. It was their task to pave the way for a movement toward Mezicres, which, with the ground gained by the Amevl cans at-St. Mihiel. would threaten the stability of the entiro German line. The Firjit American Army at dawn advanced to the east of the Argonne. while Gen eral Goupaud's Fourth French Army took the west side of the forest. Soon after noon the first objectives of American and French had been reached, making a penetration of from two to fhree miles on a front of fourteen miles.
