TWELVE AMERICANS
TAKEN BY GERMANS
TEUTONS MAKE RAID ON SECTOR
AND CAPTURE IL, KILL THREE
AND WOUND FIVE.
LOSS OF ENEMY is UNKNOWN
heavy Barrage Fire Before Making
Raid On Trench Occupied BY the
United States Troops-First
Blood Spilled In France.

Washington.-Arm forces under
the American flag have had their first
clash with German soldiers on first
line trenches where the United States
troops had been taken for instruction,
and three Americans were killed, five
wounded and II captured or missing.
The war department made this an
nouncement on receipt of dispatch
from Gen. Pershing showing that the
German forces, soon after learning the
position of the new enemy from over
seas, had launched desperate effort
to overcome them. The Teuton attack
came in the form of heavy barrage
fire, which isolated salient or the
American trench and apparently left a
small force of Americans at the mercy
of their enemies. That the American
soldiers fought gamely is shown by
Pershing's report of prisoner being
taken by them. How some OF his
troops escaped, bringing this German
back with them, is not told in the brief
dispatch of the American commander.
The official statement issued by the
war department is as follows:
"The war department has received a
dispatch from the commanding gen
eral of the American expeditlonary
forces. which states that before day
light. Nov 8, a salient occupied for in
struction by a company of American
infantry was raided by Germans. The
enemy put down heavy barrage fire,
cutting off the salient from the rest
of the men. Our losses were three
killed. five wounded and II captured
or missing. The enemy's losses are
not known
The United States troops were taken
in charge of veteran French soldiers TO
a region near the Rhine Marine canal,
q quiet portion of the long line that
runs from the North Sea to Swltzer-
land, and for a few days conditions
were normal. Cable dispatches for the
past "a hours have been telling OF ar
tillery activity somewhat above nor
NAL" but still not of anything like the
furious fire on other portions OF the
front.

Another chapter of Mississippi his
tory was written when the new old
capitol was for the second time in its
history dedicated with imposing cere-
monies and in the presence of a great
assemblage. A platform had been
erected at the south end of the struct-
ure, on which were gathered state of
ficials, including four capitol commits
sioners who have had charge Of the
repair work, and a number OF women
who have taken great interest in the
preservation of the old building for
sentimental reasons
Facing the speakers stand were
two bands and hundreds of soldiers
from Camp Jackson, as well as a large
number of men and women from the
city and surrounding country, making
an audience that well-nigh filled Con-
federate park. Stokes V. Robertson,
state revenue agent, member OF the
capitol commission and master Of GER
emonies, presented DR.. J. B. Hutton,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, VINO invoked divine blessing
upon the assemblage and on the state.
Before presenting Governor Bilbo
as the first speaker, and the man to
whom was perhaps more than to any
other one individual in the state duo
the credit for having brought about
the restoration of the old capitol, Mr.
Robertson explained that he was
using a gavel made from the walnut
parts of the old stairway, and which
was presented to him by Thomas r..
Foster, the venerable representative
from Warren county. He also read a
telegram from Theodore Link, the ST.
Louis architect who had charge of the
work, in which regrets at his unavoid-
able absence were expressed.
