Young American Officer Forced to
Change Horses Eight Times, His
Mounts Being Shot Under Him.
Finally he is Wounded in Knee.

London, Sunday, July 2l.-How
an American battery on the bank of
the Marine shelled the Germans for
u hours while under fire from enc
my guns is described by Reuters
correspondent at French headquar-
tiers. A young lieutenant, after tele-
phone wires had been severed, en-
tertained communication between
the battery and the infantry. He
had eight horses shot under him in
making sixteen trips and on the
last journey was wounded in the
knees. The correspondent says:

the bank of the Marne with the
American troops. They were the Of
icers and men of battery of Amer
lean "75's" which had been in po-
sition on bare exposed plateau
above the river about thousand
yards from he Boche ridges, during
the entire week.
Aroused by Hun Fire.
"They were aroused by terrific ar
tillery preparation on the part OF
the enemy on the night of July 18th
The American battery was in the
open and of the thirty enemy bat
teries which had been identified in
the sector, five were concentrating
their fire on the American bat
terry.
THE men had to turn out and
open on the enemy without a mo-
ment's delay. They continued to fire
as hard as they could for y hours.
The Americans were under a
heavy shelling themselves during
the whole time, but they never re-
laxed their efforts for a moment.
The whole plateau is plowed up by
German shells. These Americans,
who had never been in serious ac-
tion before, lost both men and
horses. but the battery was never
silenced.
an the first hour of the lombard
ment every telephone wire in the
sector was cut by German shells,
and the battery was left without
means of communication with the
American infantry in the river val
ley below, whom it had to support.
Sixteen Trips Under Fire.
"A young lieutenant volunteered
to restore the communication him
self. Taking horse, he rode down
to the river through the German
barrage and back. and during the
night galloped Fxteen times be-
tween the battery and the river, al
ways under a terribly heavy fire. He
had eight hoses hit under him, and
on the last journey he himself was
hit in the knees.
"A battery commander told me he
had the greatest difficulty with his
slightly wounded men. None of them
wanted to leave the battle field and
the men ordered TO go away for
treatment would hide themselves in
order to avoid notice, hoping in this
way to be able TO remain with their
comrades. One gun, the crew OF
which had been knocked out by a
single big shell, was kept working
BY the telephone men, who. realiz-
ing what had happened, dashed out
of their shelter and began to man
the gun themselves without orders.
