AN ENTIRE GERMAN DIVISION
is CRUSHED BY AMERICAN
TROOPS UNDER PERsHiNG.
TWO Regiments Practically AnnihiI-
ated in Assault Upon cantigny,
When Our Boys Demonstrated
That They Mean Business.

With the Army in Franee.-An en-
tire German division (12,000 men) was;
put out of action for at least month
during the battle of Cantigny, it was.
learned Saturday.
Two regiments were practically
annihilated in the American assault ON
the village. The remainder of the divi-
sion, which was in reserve, was cut up
either in counter-attacks or by artillery
fire.
The division, therefore, is useless
until it is recognized. The boches
are now under the necessity of holding
this division here when it might other
wise be diverted to the new Cham
payne battle area.
A German carrier pigeon, killed by
shrapnel, fell in front of our lines Sat-
urday. The message was recovered
and handed over to the French in
telligence officers 1t was a message
from a regimental commander near
scissors to the divisional commander
in the Montdidier region. The knowl
edge thus obtained was used to advan-
tage.
Another valuable bit of information
resulted from the shooting down of an
enemy aerOplane, of which the pilot
was killed and the observer wounded.
There is great aerial activity and
continuous heavy cannonading on this
front The American artillery keeps
the enemy rear areas under constant
pounding.

Germans Amazed That Poilus Refuse
to Surrender When Surrounded

to Surrender When Surrounded.
London.-The Berlin Press describes
the desperate and heroic conduct of
the French in the great battle. The
newspapers tell how the poilus used
their grenades to the last and fought
with trench knives, rifle butts and
bayonets.
One Frenchman was found dead, his
fingers in an unbreakable death grip
around the throat of German officer
Isolated groups of dead are lying upon
machine guns and hundreds of Ger
man bodies are carpeting the field
The German newspapers frankly admit
that the French refuse to leave their
men behind, but greet certain death
with sword in hand
One French officer was found in the
midst Of decapitated bodies. Before
he died from a grenade wound he had
broken his sword on a machine gun.
He was still holding the broken blade
in his hand when found. The Ger
mans evidently are amazed that the
poilus refused to surrender when sur
rounded.
"They fought like nests of tigers"
said one German noncommissioned Of
ficer.

 CLASH AT HEARING

many others about MT. Hearst, which l have not made public"
 Committee Rcsrevcs Decision. The committee reserved it's ruling on whether MT. Becker should be compelled to make public names of the state investigators.
 Later when Becker spoke of Sena- tor Reed "holding a brief for Hearst, the senator, addressing the committe asked that such references be stopped. If the committee doesn't stop him I will take my own way of doing it." he said.
 Chairman Overman said he be- lieved the reply to be improper and Mir. Becker again apoIogized.
 Senator Reed asked MT. Becker further about a statement given out Jointly by Attorney Gen. Lewis and ALr. Becker dealing with a dinner given in honor of William Randolph Hearst by Bolo Pasha MT. Becker said that MT. Hearst's indignation at that statement was the beginning of a suspicion in his mind that there might be a connection between Hearst and Bolo Pasha.
 Says Hearst Told Lie.
 That statement, coupled with the fact that Hearst lied when he said that he had met Bolo only once, when the statement of his own emplOyc showed that he met him at least three tlmes-right then was born in my mind the impression that there might be something wrong"
 Senator Reed asked the witness if he stood by his statement that MT Hearst lied about BoIo incidents Mr. Becker replied that he would change the reference to a statement that MT. Hearst stated something that was un- true because, he said a lie implies an intent to tell what is not true.
 Charges Plan to Hurt Hearst.
 Senator Reed said he had known MT Hearst as a newspaper man; that he had no social, personal or po- litical relations with him, "except generally he supports the party to which l beIong."
 Il have followed the hearings close ly,' he added, 'and I have become convinced that there has been some attempt to fasten the crime of trea- son on MT. Hearst by placing to- gether scraps of information. For that reason I asked to cross examine this witness and I would have done the same thing for the editor of the New York Times or any other news paper, or for any street laborer.
 That is why I am here and any man who intimates anything to the contrary is 9 common scoundrel"
