DETAILS ARE MEACER
German Forces Launch Desperate Ek
fort to Overcome New Enemy
AS Soon AS Position Is
Learned.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Three Amer-
cans were killed, five wounded and IL
captured OF missing when armed
forces under the American flag had
their first clash with German soldiers
in an attack which the Germans made
on first line trenches where the Unit
cd States troops had been taken for
instructions.
The War department made this
known on receipt of a dispatch from
General Pershing, showing that the
German forces soon after learning
the position of the new enemy from
overseas, had launched desperate
effort to overcome them.
Heavy Barrage Fire.
The Teuton attack came in the
form of a heavy barrage fire which
isolated a salient of the American
trench, and apparently left sman
force of Americans at the mercy of
their enemies. That the American
soldiers fought gamely is shown by
Pershing's report of a 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.
No Names of Casualties.
The United States troops were TAX
en- in charge of veteran French sol.
| diers to quiet portion of the long
line that runs from the North sea to
Switzerland, and for few days con.
| ditions were normal. Cable dispatches

rather cryptic announcement, told of
North American" prisoners being
brought in, and this is taken here to
refer to the, soldiers whom General
Pershing's dispatch says are cap.
| tured or missing.
Allies Warned Americans.
Many French and British military
writer's have warned America that
Germany would hurl terrific blows at
| the Americans as soon as news OF
their location reached the German
side, and when the Americans went
into the trenches War department. of.
lcials here predicted this might hap.
pen. It was pointed out that this
was fayorite trick of the Germans
| when the British territorials from
Canada or Australia went into the
/ trenches for the first time.
I The announcement from General
Pershing gave no names of the cas-
ualties, The announcement also
omitted to mention whether the
trench had been captured, 1t ia pre-
sumed, however, that the attacking
forca inflicted as much damage al
possible In short space OF time and
