BRITISH DRIVE HUNS BACK
ATLEMPIRE; TAKE PRISONERS

tured German clothing, guns, ammuni-
tion and other supplies are being haul
ed 10 the rear. Refugees are returning
10 their homes in recaptured villages,
after four years absence, attempting 10
ind their houses among the ruins which
have been left everywhere. The dough-
boys are assisting ln this work Of re-
habilltating that sector.
Tho Americans are more than ace
high with the inhabitants. Monslgnor
Mecier sent his wife and two daughters
10 Nancy when the boches invaded
Thiaucourt In 1914. He stayed behind
10 take care OF their home, expecting
the enemy would soon be driven out.
For four years Germans made him
quarter officers in his home and slave
for them.
During the advance the report sud
denly reached the German officers that
the Americans were entering the town.
All but a major fed, lie ran upstairs
20 pack his things. When nc came down
American bayonets caught him at the
door. Following closely upon the heels
OF the doughboys came Mercier's wife
and daughters. 10 was a glad reunion.
Mercier's family now cannot do enough
for the Americans.
