offensive operation be-

front between the Aisne
and Marne is going on
at this hour for the
most part even better
than was expected.
The enemy SO far has
been unable to with
stand the shocks which
the Americans and
their allies have deliv-
cred and are still deliv-
ering.
AS the whole left of
the German flank is
menaced the enemy
must draw in his troops
from the Marne front
or risk their being
caught where they are.
This means that the
finishing blow possibly
has been administered
to his dying offensive.

-FOUR U. s. SOLDIERS SENTENCED
TO Death-TwO Slept Oh Duty, Two
Refused to Obey.

Washington, Feb. 2S-Four Amer
lean soldiers, two caught asleep while
doing sentry duty in the first line
trenches, and two having refused to
obey orders. have been sentenced to
death, but Gen. Pershing, although
he has authority to carry out the SEN
teRces, has referred their cases to
the War Department for review.
These are the first cases of the kind
since the American troops went to
France. One soldier was executed
there for all unspeakable offense ON
a French child, and in his case Gen.
Pershing acted swiftly without as
much as referring it to Washington.
In these cases, however, some ex-
tenuating circumstances may be
found for the men, tired and nerve
worn by front line trench duty In a
hitherto unknown manner Of war
fare. to save them from the death
penalty at the hands Of their own
fellows.
President Wilson, probably in the
end will review their cases. Going
to sleep on sentry duty has long been
recognized as an unforgivable Of
Tense, punishable by death, and such
cases. rare as they have been in the
American army, have furnished some
Of the most absorbing incidents Of
its history.
-Four Americans Killed.
Washington, Feb. 28.-Gen. Per-
shing reported to-day one American
soldier killed in action on February
26. the day of the German gas at

Private Helmer e. Reyelt, of Har-
Ian, Iowa, was killed in action. Pri-
vate JOS. A. Schumacher, Bristol, Pa,
