LITTLE BAND OF AMERICANS
TRAPPED IN TRENCH 8ATTLEp
LOYALTY.
GREATLY oUTNUMBERED
1Y ATTACKING GERMANS
No Room For Rifle Shots In Narrow
Trenches and Men Use Guns as
Clubs in Hand to Hand Encounter
With Picked Teuton "Shock Troops"
Bodies of Dead Buried.

With the American Army at the
Front, Nov. T.-They buried yesterday
in the hallowed soil Of France the first
American soldiers to fight and die to
make the world safe for democracy.
Three Of them died, including Merle
Hay, of Glidden, Iowa, four others sus-
tanned wounds and thirteen are some
where behind the German lines in this
first encounter-and every man max
ing ready for the battle line awarded
to them the supreme commentator
that in their fight they sustained the
best traditions Of the American army.
They were outnumbered, this little
detachment OF Americans. The fact
that they fought against overwhelming
odds and were hopelessly cut off from
achievements, did not deter them in
striking back with all their power.
Fought Aand-to-Hand.
In the narrow trenches. where there
was no room for rifle shots. the
Americans fought with their dubbed
guns, their bayonets, their trench
knives, their intrenching spades-even
their hands. Flares and the sudden
glare of exploding shells showed &C.
casional rapid pictures OF struggling
groups-one or two American soldiers
surrounded by q solid mass OF Ger
mans, a whirling maelstrom Of arms
and hands and kicking feet, flashing
bayonets, shouts. muffled yells and the
sounds Of pain wrung from the wound
ed.
This was the story as survivors told
it. The Americans did not have a
chance against overpoweringly superior
masses Of the enemy. The fact that
they didn't have a chance didn't make
Thorn stop fighting, however until they
had literally been crushed under the
Germans.
The small American detachment
was in a front-nne trench. The usual
desultory artillery fire suddenly rolled
to an intense rumble. The enemy put
down q heavy barrage Of shells COM
pletely round the single unit
Smothered by Numbers.
Then q big. party. of Germans
American wounded estimate them at
21o in all-suddsn1y swarmed over.
The German raidins party was COM
posed Of picked and veteran "shock
troops'-speciahsts in attack. They
charged in a powerful rush. The
American troops had Just entered this
particular bit Of trench.
They fought back like wild cats until
literally smothered in the weight of the
superior attacking forces. Then the
Germans scurried back to their own
lines, dragging their own dead and
wounded with them, together with their
American prisoners.

Policeman Copied the Name.

A throng Of boys gathered In front
of bakery and became involved In
an argument over the ownership of a
baseball bat. Their method Of arguing
involved throwing something else, and
so before things were nicely settled
the bat went crashing through the bak-
cry window. A policeman arrived q.
ter the boys had fled and inquired 10
garding the breaking Of the glass. One
Of the mattresses explained all about
1t. In such cases policeman must
obtain the name Of th" person inter
viewed and file his report at the police
station. When the desk lieutenant
read it he was amazed to learn who
had given the policeman the informa.
ton. The report read: Charlotte
Russo, when seen, said" The police
man, after the interview, had copied
what he believed to be the owners
name from a sign in the window.

Wrist Watch Slow to win.

The wrist watch has been very slow
in coming into its rightful place in
these United States. 1t is about Is
years since it appeared. At first 1t
was considered a piece Of 1ewelry
which could only be worn upon femi-
nine wrist. The bracelet in gold and
the timepiece were often combined.
There are, Of course, some manly indi.
viduals who wear bracelets even with.
out the pretext that they need them
as watch settings. The old Roman
DICTIONARIES and the fierce Numidians
wore their bracelets high on the
upper arm 80 that they could fiex their
bulging biceps against them.

Beauty.

There Is an old saying that beauty
is only skin deep. but that L. Tar from
the truth. Beauty Is founded on good
health-without that there Is no real
beauty. You can cover up muddy
or sallow complexion with face pow
der, but it will not be beautiful. A
homely woman In good health Is US
ually more interesting and more charm
ing than bilious dyspeptic beauty.
Constipation and a sluggish liver i'm

lets and you will soon be looking better
and feeling better. For sale by all

American Rails for France.

The belief that the Allied countries
must turn to the United States for
the materials for their rehabilitation Is
borne out by the assertion that a con-
tract has just been signed between steel
manufacturers and officers Of the United
States Government for $4,000 tons Of
steel rails for the roads of France. No
announcement OF the contract price was
made. At the current market quotations
this orde rwould amount to S6,70O,000,
II Is reported to have been signed at a
figure considerably lower than that,
however The pressing necessity OF
Franco and other allied countries for
rails was emphasized some time ago in
the announcement that railroads of Cam
ada had torn out many miles of switch
track and sent the rails overseas. These,
of course must be replaced, and prob
ably by American made rails. Steel
manufacturers report the heaviest de-
mand for rails in history. Definite
price agreements, however, remain to be
settled.

EstImates on steel.

Between times of mopping its fevered
brow Wall street yesterday put forth
fresh batch of estimates on United States
Staels earnings Figures for the second

all the way from $113, 1000, ,0OO-the earn
ings OF the first quarter--to s15O.000, 900.
The average guess Is about Sl25.OOo,OO0.
II ic based on the fact that the slowing
up OF business since June, due to the fact
that the corporation then started to
work on Government orders, will about
offset the freight congestion, which held
down earnings in the years first quar-
ter. Record prices have been received
by the Steel Corporation for its products
in this quarter. Calls on Steel common
