3 U. S. Soldiers Killed, Five
Wounded and IL Captured
In First Real Battle.
DETAILS ARE MEAGER
German Forces Launch Desperate e.
fort to Overcorr, New Enemy
As Soon As Position 10
Learned.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Three Ameri-
cans were killed. five wounded and IL
captured or 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 Uuit-
ed 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 a desperate
effort to overcome them.
Heavy 5arrage Fire.
The Teuton attack came in the
form Of a heavy barrage fire which
isolated a salient of the American
trench, and apparently left a small
force OF Americans ct the mercy of
their shsmies. That the American
soldiers fought gaIaely 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 a few days con-
ditions were normal. Cable dispatches
have been telling OF artillery activ-
ity somewhat above normal" but still
not of anything like the furious fire
ON other portions of the front. A
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 a 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
tho Americans as soon as news OF
their location reached the German
side. n whom the Americans went
into the trenches War department Of
hcials here predicted this might hap
pen. 1t was pointed out 'that this
was a favorite trick of the Germans
when the British t~erritorials from
Canada or Australia went into the
trenches for the first time.
The announcement from General
Pershing gave no names Of the cas-.
uaIties. The announcement also
omitted to mention whether the
trench had been captured. 1t is pre-
sumed, however. that the attacking
force inflicted as much damage as
possible in a short space of time and
the Tstreated TO the Protection OF
their own earthworks before Ameri-
can reinforcements could arrive.
