With the French Army in France May

tack launched Tuesday against the
Americans in the vicinity of Villers-
Bretonneux was repulsed with heavy loss
for the enemy. The German preliminary
bom bardment lasted two hours and then
the infantry rushed forward only to be
driven back, leaving a large number Of
dead on the ground in front of the Amer

forward three battalions of infantry.
The American losses were rather severe
The German bombardment opened at
FIVE o'clock in the afternoon and
was directed especially against the
Americans, who were supported on the
north and south by the French. There
was hand to- hand fighting all along the
line, as result of which the enemy was
thrust back, his dead and wounded lying
on the ground in all directions. Five
prisoners remained in American hands.
The struggle, which lasted considera
bic time, was extremely violent, and the
Americans displayed marked bravery
throughout.
1t was the first occasion in which the
Americans were engaged in the big bat
tie which has been raging since March
81 and their French comrades are full
of praise for the manner in which they
conducted themselves under trying cir
cumstances. especially in view of the
fact that they are fighting at one of the
most difficult points on the battlefront. |
