DASH|NG ATTACK BY AMERICANS

Took Number of Prisoners and Village of Vaux First
American Army Corps Organized - Now Holding
Part of Line

With the American Forces on the
Marne Front.-In a brilliant opera
tion after hard fighting, American
troops on this front last night cap
tured the village of Vaux, together
with a large slice of the Paris high.
way west of Chateau Thierry, and
two patches of wooded land.
The Americans took 275 German
prisoners including five officers, and
captured a quantity of machine guns
and other equipment.
In the Vaux region the Americans
took the Germans completely by sur
prise. Most of the prisoners were
taken out of cellars and dugouts.
How many Germans were killed of
course is unknown, but from the num-
ber Of dead in plain view at various
places the total must have been con-
siderable.
While the artillery preparation was
going on many American airplanes
flew high overhead. Some were pro-
tecting the observation balloons
while others were combing the skies
to keep off enemy machines. Early
this morning the American pilots
again appeared for similar duty and

were soon found contesting with the
enemy for supremacy Of the air. A
number of the erial battles were OBJ
served but reports on the results are
not available. 1t was 6 o'clock last
evening when the American went
over the top under the protection Of
a hail of machine gun bullets from
our machine gun barrages. The in
fantry action was preceded by =
short but terrific artillery prepara-
ton. When the Germans saw that
a formidable attack was developing.
many of those in outposts yelled and
ran toward the rear to nests from
which hot fire began pouring.
The Americans paused for mo-
ment while the automatic rifles and
machine guns with the advancing
troops fought duel in front Of
Vaux, briefly but effectively with the
enemy.
Then the Americans, whose num-
ber was considerable, went on, most
of them running, in their eagerness
to get at close quarters with the
Germans. At same time the Boche
began hurling gas shells to the rear
of the American lines.
Within a brief time the Americans
had wrested from the enemy. the
Bois de la Boche and the woods ad-
joining it. Then came word that the
Americans were in Vaux and finally
after sharp fighting there in the
streets and houses, they overcame all
resistance and swept on beyond the
village.
The Americans reached every one
of their objectives and by this opera
tion they have eliminated salient
and have Strengthened out their lines,
over an area of several miles. The
Americans now have the enemy un-
der their guns.
Daylight this morning saw the
Americans digging in almost undis-
/ turbed FIR beyond the old German
defense line. To the rear patches Of
prisoners and piles of material are
going. The number of prisoners has
steadily mounted until it has reached
275. The guns and materials have
not yet been tabulated.
The fighting qualities of the Amer

WRITES INTERESTING LETTER.
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, AIR
FULL OF BIRDMEN
Camp Kearny, Calf.

S0uAR xA0OAHvS S~AAAs
Dear Friend:
Got your letter don't know how
long ago, really ought to be ashamed
Of myself for -neglecting 80 important
duty, worse than that I have no
excuses to offer either.
Yes l am enjoying all the pleas
ures of the military game Of course
we find things once in a while which
are not 50 pleasant but we make the
best Of it anyway. Must say that
like this life much better than thot
l would and now that we are in go!
den California in the land Of oranges,
the palm and the ocean breeze ] like
it still better. One gets awfuffy lazy
down here but oh how good you 10
feel, never felt so good in my lite,
We get lot of fruit down here also
pretty much fish, they sure feed us
we'll, never had any better meal at
home. We are quite close to an
aviation camp too and are visited
quite frequently by some daredevil
airman, they come right down on our
drill grounds just like an eagle and
we have to scatter all directions to
get out of their way. The air above
US is full of them all the time, flying
all directions. One of these days
when one of them 60 by least bound)
Pm going to get in and 60 along as
far as Williston and visit for little
while. j.aa
We are about twenty-five miles
from the Mexican border so if any.
one starts anything down there we
will certainly fix them. Our nearest
town is San Diego which is about six.
teen miles. We get all of our sup.
plies from there, our water is also
brought from there through large
turbines, the camp is located in a
sort of a desert where there is nc
water to be found, therefore Sar
Diego gets the job to water US, be.
ing the nearest source of supply.
We had q good long ride from Camp
Lewis down here in fact it was tor
long, we were three days and three
nights on the way, sure did see some
country too, passed through all the
important cities Of the west, stop
ped for about three hours in. Los
Angelus, saw quite lot of the city.
Haven't been to San Diego yet, ex-
pect to go down there Saturday morn
ing though then I can stay till
twelve o'clock Sunday night, guess I
ought to be able to enjoy myself in
that length of time because its an
awfully lively town.
Now don't wait as long as I did
before you write, will try to be a lit-
tie more prompt next time.
Your old friend,
Carsten Sveen,
... Co. H. 157 Inf,
Camp Kearny, Calf.
p. S. Expect to be transferred TO
the Quarter Master department in
short time.
