ORED DIVISIONS OF TROOPS
OF The AMERICAN ARMY
ON The AISNE FRONT

Today one OF the st IN e ST
battles of the past ten days
was waged by the colore d
troops Of the American army
stationed here. Several Ne
gro divisions crossed the Vesle
river in hot pursuit OF large
forces of German troops who
began an attack on this end
of the line early this morning.
The advance was preceded by
a heavy artillery lombard
ment which CONT nued all
Sunday night.
From the plateau the color
ed soldiers took up positions
in the ravines and put up such
a strong FIRE with their mach
inc guns that they succeeded
in chasing the enemy nearly
six miles back by Monday
morning at daylight. All dav
Mondaythe Huns tried in vain
TO check the sweeping advance
of the colored troops but in

keeping the Hun on the run.
1t is now An undisputed fact
that the lorcd troops Of
America are virtually better
than the German soldier from
the fact that he seems to care
very little tor danger when
once started. The Negro
soldier is going to play An i'm
portant part in winning this
war and he has done much to
prove that fact already. Milit
ary experts here are at a lost
to understand how these color
ed troops can engage in the
hottest kind of battle and come
out with verysma lost.

The engagement in which
Butler played so splendid a
role took place in the early
morning Of Aug. I8 in the
entail sector near
Maisons de Champagne. north
east Of Stemenhould. Follow
ing a sha,p artillery prepara
ton. the enemy had launched
a strong raid,nR party. which.
cutting in from two sides,
managed. with the aid OF a
cage barrage. to isolate four OF
our front line combat posts.
In one of them. Lieut.. g. r.
Jones. stepping over to light

FIVE boches. He and four Of
his men were dragged out of
the trench and showed toward
the German lines. along a dis
used com municatiop trench in
No Mans land. On the way
the raiders, with their pris
oners ahead Of them. passed,
within fifty yards of a little ad
vAnced post in which Butler
crouched with two privates.
Don't fire Butler! Lieut..
Jones cried. Not yet. sir, but
soon. the sergent sang out.
The Germa ans were so
flustered by this colloquy.
which seems to them to in
dicate an ambuscade, that they
wheeled about towards Buffers
hiding place. Lieut.. Jones
Immediately signalled his four
men to follow him and clam
bered up the sides of t h e
trench. AS the FIVE started
back toward the American
lines the L, tenant cried:
Now let him have it Sergt.
Butler yelled his warning to
to the bush Germans and
stumbled through the darkness
to point from which he
could entlade the trench they
were in. and and cut loose with
his automatic. The Boches
made up a tram as the Negro
troops say. and without loss Of
time they skedaddled home
ward at top speed. leaving
their officers wounded and
four privates killed in the
trench.
Butler chased them TO with
in their wire. and doubtless
slew some more with his hand
prenades. He rambled al
over the sector in search Of
gray green prey, returning 20
the combat post only when he
was completely exhausted.
