The Americans fighting on French soil.
The Americans were holding an advanced
post in the region OF the Marne canal,
when raid was made upon them by a
strong party of Germans. Heavy fire
from German batteries cut off retreat and
at the same time prevented reinforcements
from being sent TO them. The result was
that three Americans soldiers we killed,
five were wounded and twelve were
taken prisoners.
The roll has been started and no man
can say when the end shall be reached.
But our men are fighting for humanity
and liberty and they will not they died in

add Is cents a ton TO their interstate
