FIRST FIGHT
FOR AMERICANS
Three Killed, Five Wounded,
Twelve Taken Prisoner.

A cablegram from France,
dated Nov. 5, says:
In an attack on a small detach-
ment of American infantrymen
in the front line trenches early
Saturday morning a much super
ior force of German shock troops
were used. The Americans were
cut off from relief by the heavy
barrage in their rear. They
fought CALAMITY until over
whelmed, solely by numbers.
The fighting in the trenches was
hand to hand. 1t was brief and
fierce in the extreme.
AS a result of the encounter,
three Americans were killed and
five wounded. A sergeant and
corporal and 10 men were taken
prisoner. Two French soldiers,
who were in the trenches, also
were killed. The enemy lost
some men, but the number is un-
known, as their dead and wound
ed were carried off by the re-
firing Germans.
From the beginning of the en-
gagement until the end the
Americans lived up to all the
traditions of the American army,
the records showing the bravery
of the detachment and of indi-
vidual members.
The raid was carried out
against members of the second
contingent entering the trenches
for training. These men had
only been in a few days. Before
dawn Saturday the Germans be-
gan shelling vigorously the
barbed wire in front of the
trenches, dropping many high
explosives of large .calibre. A
heavy artillery fire was then
directed so as to cover all the ad.
jacent territory, including the
passage leading up to the
trenches, thereby forming a most
effective barrage in the rear as
well as in the front.
The young lieutenant in charge
of the detachment of Americans
started back to the communi.
eating trenches to his immediate
superior for orders. The barrage
knocked him down, but he picked
himself up and started off again.
He was knocked down again
but, determined to reach his OBJ.
jective, got up. A third time he
was knocked down badly shell
shocked, and was put out o.
action.
Germans to the number of 210
according to the report, rushed

through the breaches and wire
entanglements on each side of the
salient, their general objective
barrage having lifted for a mo-
ment. The Germans went into
the trenches at several points.
They met with stout resistance.
Pistols, grenades, knives and
bayonets were freely used.
For many minutes there was
considerable confusion in the
trenches, the Germans stalking
the Americans and the Ameri-
cans stalking the Germans. In
one section of the trenches an
American engaged two Germans
with bayonet. That was the
last seen of him until after the
raid when a dead American was
found on the spot. Another was
killed by a blow on the head
with rifle butt from above.
The Americans apparently at
the beginning of the attack did
not realize what was going on.
The first wounded, a private said:
Il was standing in commu-
nication trench waiting for or
ders. heard a noise back of
me and looked around in time to
see German fire in my direc-
tion. felt a bullet hit my arm" F."
An inspection showed that the
Germans abandoned three rifles,
a number of knives and helmets.
The raid was evidently care
fully planned and American
officers admit that it was well
executed. AS raid, however,
there was nothing unusual about
it. 1t was such as is happening
all along the line. There is rea-
son for believing that the Ger
mans were greatly surprised
when they found Americans in
the trenches instead of the
French.
The French general in COM
mand of the division, of which
the American detachment was
part, expressed extreme satis-
faction at the action of the
Americans, for they fought
bravely against a numerically
superior enemy, the handful Of
men fighting until they were
smothered.
The bodies of the American
dead were brought back to di-
visional headquarters and buried
with honors today. The wounded
are at the base hospitals.
None of the Americans who
took part in the fight are from
western states.
The whole American expedi-
tionary forces are thrilled by the
fight put up by their comrades
and all are anxious to get a
chance to deal a blow.
At 1:30 a. m. Monday morning
the American patrol boat Alcedo,
a converted yacht, was torpedoed
and sunk by a German submarine
in the war zone. One officer and
twenty men are missing. The
ship sank in four minutes after
being struck. Several vessels
were searching for possible sur
vivors at the time the report was
made. The Alcedo carried a
crew of seven officers and 85 men.
The Alcedo is the first Ameri-
can war vessel to go down in the
war. The destroyer Cassin on
patrol duty was torpedoed recent
ly, but she made port safely with
the loss of only one man.

STOCK SHOW
AT LEWISTON
Thousands Present From All
Over Northwest.

This is a gala week in Lewis
ton, marking the advent of the
ninth annual meeting of the
Northwest Livestock Association
which institution has developed
into one of the recognized leading
livestock shows of the world.
The show opened yesterday and
closes November 18th, and the
program is so arranged that every
minute will be busy one. The
Annual Livestock Exhibition has
now grown to that Importance
that it is attracting to it the in
terest and support of the leading
citizens of the country. This
year, the national admininistra-
ton is sending Clifford Pinchot
from Washington City to have
him carry a message on food con-
servation to the people. Vice
president Marshall of the United
States will be in attendance on
one day.
The governors of Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon, Montana, Utah,
Nevada and Wyoming are pres
ent and assembled at a great bar
becue given on the opening day
of the exhibition.
Numerous livestock experts
are present and it can now be
said without hesitance that the
livestock in magnitude of exhibits
and in standard represents the
grandest collection ever seen
west of the Mississippi. Although
the buildings at the livestock
show grounds are equipped to
conveniently handle 1000 animals
it has been necessary this year to
erect ten large tents to meet the
overflow. While primarily the
program will center as in the
past on exalting livestock, yet
numerous social events will be
provided including many parades,
fine music, and the annual night
horse show, aside from numerous
sessions of stockmen's associa-
tions.
The marked interest in the ex-
hibition this year is we'll illus
trated in the fact that three days
before the opening of the show
more than six hundred animals
were assembled at the grounds.
A notably large increase is no.
ticed in the purebred Shorthorn
entries and the indications are
that these will this year equal the
Hereford exhibit.
The restoration of car-lot en-
tries to this years list has
awakened some keen competition
and this division will this year

GERMAN PSYCHOLOGY

From neutral Switzerland comes the information that Germany is about to introduce 8 new wrinkle in warfare, Instead of an engine of destruction, it is to be psychologi- cal bureau, the purpose of which is to determine the precise Usy- chUlOgical status of each of Ger many's euemiee." Secret agents working iu or near enemy countries will forward all information avail able. The information, if accurate, will help Germany to make satis- factory peace as well as to make war.
 The proposed psychological bu- rsau at Berlin is an indication tthA Germany has some misgiVings about the accuracy of the information seLt by it's spies and its agents. It has apparently dawned on Germany that the confidential investigator who informed the kaiser before the outbreak Of the war that Ireland was ready to rebel and that the British empire was on 8 point or breaking up was mistaken. The herman leaders are beginning to seq that the psychological sharp who ayerred that steady policy Of Irightfulness would make enemy na- lions stop fighting was talking thru his uickel-haube. Then the tnVesti- gator who informed the German gov erumeut that the United States was g nation of dollar chaSers" and thai the nation wouldn't fight anyway, has had time to present a revised opinion. The spy who said that Jt was impossible for this country tq send soldiers to France and that tho sentimnt against militarism in Amer ica was so strong that draft law was impossible must be in bad. TEs offer of 1,3OO,OOO volunteers to serve in the American army and the floating ot the liberty loan, to say nothing of the $11O, ,O0O,OOO for the Red Cross, were consdiered psyehoL- Ogically impossible in Berlin. It az pears that the new bureau will have a long, hard job ahead of it.
 It has been the plaint Of German leaders that the world has not understOod Germany. Possibly the world has experienced some diff ficulty in attaining complete un- derstanding of a nation which will decide upon a settled policy of bombing defenseless towns. hospi- tals and school houses. A mili- tary caste which will order the slaughter of women and children on neutral ships, which will devise the plan of frighttulness put into eE- feet in Hindenburg's retreat in France, which will poison wells and mutilate children, has been hard to understand.
 The German difficulty in under standing the rest of the world seem to have been very great. In one way or another Germany seems to

That is sweeter than the spring,
Or summers wholesome fullness
OF fruit and bIossoming
II is when the robins gather
From the northland In the fall,
And NIL our fields and woodlands
with their sunny, golden call.
The madrona's beads are crimson.
The dogwood's fruits aglow.
And the cutworm's fat and juicy
Where the orchard grasses grow;
And the robins are a-cailing,
Calling. calling. in the lane
Where the sunlights shafts are failing
On the gusty, sianting rain.
The meadow-larls are vocal,
The flicker's full of cheer.
And the painted thrush is shrilling
From the thiekets far and clear
When the robins from Alaska
Send their cohorts trooping down.
When the summers drought is over
And the ferns are turning brown
Oh, the trilling and the chirping
And the jolly gatherings
In madrona's airy chambers
And the sudden gusts of wings.
Oh, We love the merry twitter
The fiutter and the call.
When the robins flock together,
From Alaska in the fall.
