THE SUPREME TEST.

This war has been filled with bravery that
pales the history of other Heroic acts
are common to all of the armies engaged, but the
behavior of the American soldiers in the fierce
fighting of July Is is a silhouette against back
ground rich in heroism and bravery.
French observers term it magnificent.
British officers say it made history.
r. The staid conservative London Times, which
n seldom enthuses uses its biggest and blacklist
type to tell of american Valour."
The supreme test of the American army came
in the July Is fighting 1t had been in action
before and had accredited itself with honor, but
it had not borne the full brunt of a determined
German major offensive.
The line from Fossoy to Jaulgonne was selected
by the foe the point where they might break
the defense, sweep to the left of the American
line and threaten Paris
- They made every preparation and crossed the
Marine In, b0~1es, ucder the protection of fire
from guns Very calibre. In addition to pom
toons, they also crossed in canvas boats, each
holding about thirty For some time the
advance could not be stayed and the Americans
steadily retired under terrible hail of shells.
Then came the counter attack.
With magnificent fury the Americans fell upon
exultant enemy delivering blow for blow
til the Germans retreated precptately to the
banks of the Marine
\ Detailed description of the fighting is impos-
bible. Words cannot tell of the struggle
N But single quotation from the official report
Nhows what the American soldiers are made Of
II "The problem of getting ammunition up to the
Nuns became, as the attack progressed, one of
ne severest the Americans have had to face
herman shell fire made roads impossible, but
hen volunteers to take up shells were called for
every man offered. ~
GA number started journey that offered
little prospect but death. When horses were
killed by shells, the traces were cut and the men
the men went forward with what ammunition
they could carry.
THE return journey was even more terrible
than the outward trip. All the horses were killed
or wounded and the little remaining band of men
ended by themselves pushing up the amlnuni-
ton trucks to the artillery"
The Germans broke and fed. Their great at
cans had proved their fighting ability and their
courage-had won their right to place in the
front line trenches.
The great battle brought sadness to many
homes in America, but the pain is softened by
knowledge that the young men who will not re-
turn had glorious part in the supreme test of
the American army.
