Tho story Of how the Americans
aided the French in stopping the Ger

most remarkable one. The regiment
which bore the brunt of the fighting
has had a glorious career, dating
back to revolutionary days. Although
it is now composed mostly of enlisted
men many of whom had never been
under fire before, it arrived in France
and marched direct to the battle line
from its training camp. The regi-
ment's hre was SO deadly that it
broke up an entire German formation

Several Assaults Fan.

This was the case between Corey and
Longport today. Here the opposing
lines run along tho edge of the forest
of Villers-Cotterets, into which the
Germans age trying to obtain an en-
try. In the meanwhile the Germa ms
have assaulted several times unsuc-
cessfully.
From this vicinity they have been
bombarding La Ferte-Milon, but have
been unable to break down the barrier
of allied resistance and have been sub
Jected to very heavy losses. Their
object seems to be the development of
the allied troops occupying the bulge
or forcing them to fall back.
Tho allies. however, are holding
firmly at both ends for the present,
despite their inferior numbers, and
tho German push appears to have
reached an obstacle which the enemy
