a few feet distant from the spot
where the first American was taken
prisoner by the Germans.
Before dawn the United Press cor
respondent accompanied a French
patrol party out over the exact spot
on No Mans land where the Ameri-
cans made their first reconnaissance.
Later our party talked to French
surgeon who prizes as his most
precious possession a piece of the
historic German shell which wound
ed the first American.
Then later, with an American col
league, Paul Scott Mowrer' of Chi
cago. we were guided by a French
chaplain to tiny village two miles
to the rear of the fighting lines.
We found the town simply a ham
let typical of this part of France.
We were guided to ten acre
field surrounded by a high stone
wall The fields sloping surface was
marred by rusted wire entangle-
ments.
At the very bottom angle of the
wall, eleven fresh sod-topped mounds
marked the resting places of Ameri-
can dead. Wilted flowers covered
them. At the head of each was a
five foot, roughly hewn wooden
cross.
OF the eleven mounds, the first
three at one end were enclosed in
tiny, implanted pine fences. Farthest
away the crosses told us there laid
the body of Private Thomas Enright.
Next was the grave of Private Merle
D. Hay and the nearest of the three

was the mound covering the resting
place of Private Jas. B. Gresham.
The markers for these three heroic
Americans were octagonal wooden
name plates. Their full names, with
the regim entail numbers of each man
and the date of their death was in
scribed on each and an inter-twined
background of the stars and stripes
and the French tri-color made them
stand out prominently.
On the fence inclosing these graves
of the first three Americans to fall,
is a wooden sign with black letters
painted on white background:
The inscription, translated, is:
Here lie the first soldiers of the
noble republic of the United States
! to fall on French soil for justice and
! liberty"
| We paused at the graves of this
heroic trio and then passed to the
other eight graves-not so well gar
nished with flowers.
| The first three in this group were
| the graves of Abraham Meadows,
/ Stanley Janovicy and Harry Meyers
according to the roughly printed
name boards
/ Here, while the scream of shells
came increasingly through the air,
with occasional explosions vibrating
the very earth in which these Ameri-
cans rest, our chaplain said brief
prayer My colleague and myself
placed sprigs of evergreen foliage on
/ each grave-and then went back un-
der drenching skies toward the

This rest room and comfort station
