OUR BOYS WOULD NOT STAY WHIPPED
Americans. Surrounded in Trench, Refused to Surrender and Won Without Leaving Man Behind
 Morale Beyond Praise.

Washington, March D. German troops in their attack on Lorraine new sectorl the night of March i twice gained a footing in the Amer ican trenches only to be driven out in fierce fighting. An official dis patch today from France giving the French view of the encounter said the Americans showed rare qual- fly of courage, self-possession and calm bravery which won them ad- miration of the neighborine French troops and the hearty congratula- tions of the French high command"
 Were New to the Trenches
 The Americans engaged were the latest to enter the trenches, going into training with the French. First news of their presence on the battle line came i'll the official French statement of March 5, which told of their brave conduct in repulsing the Germans. Today's dispach which gave tine first details of the fighting said;
 After a very heavy artillery preparation, including shells of all calibres, which completely demol- ished the ground sector, a strong at tack was made upon the positions occupied by the Americans. A few of the enemy succeeded in penetrat- ing into a trench, but an energetic and severe counter attack threw them back in confusion.
 Meanwhile another section sue ceeded in cutting a barhed wire in front of the positions where the was going on, but they also were quickly dispersed by the pre- else firing from the rifles and ma- chine guns.

Paris, Nov. 80 Correspondence of
Associated Press He wanted to buy
a Christmas present for his girl back
home, SO that she could show 1t to all
the other girls, and destroy their
peace of mind because 1t had come
from France. He knew just what he
wanted, too, but every time he
thought of gong into the shop and
trying to ask in French for the thing
he wanted, he got red behind the ears.
He had gone over the top in the past,
unafraid, but he couldn't do this.
At last, when his leave was up, he
went into the canteen and asked the
Y. NJ. c. A. women there to make
the purchase for him. He gave her
the address, and hoped it wouldn't be
too much trouble to send the pack

."Of course it woa't," said the Y. NJ.
C. A. woman who buys dozens of such
gifts each week. I'll enjoy it. I'll
see that the package goes all right,
and, if you like, I'll write her a little
note, too, telling her how we'll you're
looking"
THAT will be NICE" said the pri-
vate. He counted out the money,
generous amount. Still he fingered,
and it was evident that he had some
thing else on his mind.
"Anything else / can do for you?''
asked the woman.
IT'S like this began the private,
hesitatingly. He stopped, swallowed,
and started all over again. please
be careful what you say in that note,
Won't you, ma'am? You see-my
girl--shes funny about some things
she might thirlz-we1l. you know how
women are finished the private
wisely.
"I'll tell you what" said the Am
erican woman. TIL tell her T en-
joyed meeting you because / have a
son in the army myself. Will that
do?'
THAT will be fine!" said the pri-
vate heartily. II wouldn't have men,
toned it, only, you know how women
are!" He smiled at her understand
iagly saluted, turned and went out.
