Two Regiments of U. S.
Engineers in Path of Big
Battle Unheard From
Bp Associated Prc,s

Washington, March 26.-Two reg
iments of American railroad en-
gineers are attached to the British
armies in the path of the German
onslaught on the western front and
three companies, as YET unheard
from, were employed near the Gro
Zat canal where German official
statements mentioned engagements
with American troops.
This information cabled the War
Department last night by General
Pershing while definitely disposing
of reports that Americans had been
sent into battle, caused no little
anxiety here regarding the fate of
the engineers who have not reported.
Based on official statements from
London, Paris and Berlin, allied and
American army officers here to-day
advance the opinion that the Ger
man offensive appeared to be slow
ing up under the British system of
defense. They regarded the battle
as having entered it's second stage
with the Germans facing increased
resistance.
Major General Marsh, chief of
staff, summed up the view of the
American military observers when
he declared the War Department saw
no. cause for alarm.

Big Events Impending
Big events are impending in the
Immediate future, at any rate, and
the adviCes from the front indicate
that these are expected to develop
favorably to the allies, probably
within the next few hours.
All accounts agree Germany is
paying heavily for every foot of
eround she has wrested from the al
lied armies. Her casualties are
shown by the British official state
ment to have mounted so high that
every part of the western front has
had to be drawn upon to provide
badly-needed reinforcements for the

MEXICAN BOYS were BRAVE
Cadets Of chapuItepec Put Up Gallant
Fight at Defense Of Their
City in 1947.

The defense of Chapultepec, during
the war between the United States and
Mexico, in 1847, was almost as gallant
as was the attack. In this attack 48
Mexican cadets, among others, lost
their lives. The story is stirring one,
observes the Los Angeles Times.
For many years the celebrated Cas-
tie Of Chapultepec, where Montezuma
held his barbaric court in the sur
rounding groves Of cypress; where
during nearly three centuries lived the
successive viceroys of Spain, and
where Macmillan made his imperial
home, has been the West Point Of
Mexico.
When General Scott had taken the
place by storm and General Bravo
had surrendered, a Mexican cadet only
fifteen years old, seeing the flag of his
country in peril, most of his comrades
being already slain, climbed the flag
staff, tore the banner from it's place,
wound it around his body and slid
down, intending to plunge over the pre-
cipice, In order to save the colors from
falling into the hands of the enemy.
That act of heroism being frustrated,
the brave boy, with the banner still
wrapped about him, fought until he
was cut in pieces. Forty-eight Of these
schoolboys, ranging in age from four
teen to twenty years, lie buried in one
grave at the foot of the hill. Year
after year the cadets Of Chapultepec
strew flowers upon the grave.
