Yankee Machine Gun Crews Turn
Loose Hail of Bullets
on Germans.
UNABLE To GET AWAY
Boches Are Caught in Terrible Fire
While Advancing to Attack
Force of American
Bridge. Builders.

With the. American Army on the
AisneMarne Front, Aug. 8.-An en-
tire battalion of German infantrymen
and machine gunners was wiped out
by the American machine gunners
protecting a location on the Vesle
river, west of Fismes.
The Germans at the time were get
ting into position to attack a group
of American bridge builders who were
approaching the location.
Some bridge material already had
been moved near the south bank Of
the Vesle and the Germans apparently
discovering this fact, had sent bat
talon to a hill position to prevent the
Americans carrying out their plan. A
detachment of crack American ma
chine gunners previously had taken
an elevated position commanding the
location and opened fire when the
Germans appeared.
No American CasuaAes.
Observers reported they did not see
a single German get away from the
leaden hail, and according to the last
accounts not even enemy stretcher
bearers approached the scene. The
Germans replied so feebly with their
fire, because of the surprise, that
there were no American casualties.
With their backs to the Aisne, the
Germans continued preparations today
for what may be either stiff resist
ance to give them more time for fur
Their withdrawal or a definite stand.
Minor actions among the American
portion of the front and in the adjOin-
ing French sectors marked the day.
Fismes Still Strongly Held.
The little force of men who were
sent into Fismes still maintains it's
foothold, although it is not yet across
the river, which flows through the ex-
IRENE north portion of the town.
Under a heavy barrage all their
wounded have been taken out and dur
ing the night food was taken to them.
Foe DeIuges Town With Gas.
The Germans have been unremitting
in their effort to dislodge the Amer
leans, bounding the town with shells
and deluging it with gas.
Numerous efforts have been made to
retake the position, but in every in
stance the position of the American
fire, both of the supporting artillery
and the small arms of the infantry
within it, drove back the enemy.

Yankees Free Civilians.

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 8.--The Americans who
captured Fismes were members of the
same organization that occupied Cou-
ionges- Cohan and Dravigny during the
advance north from the Marine. At
Cohan all the civilians left behind in
the French retreat last spring were
found in the village church. They had
been kept under guard there by the
Germans, who occupied the village
All personal belongings of any value
were taken from the civilians by the
enemy.
