There are many additional prisoners
but they include machine gunners. The
Americans killed or wounded practical
ly all Of the latter who wsrs left be-
hind as sacrifices. An intensified war
OF movement has again set In with re-
newed momentus. Armered cars are
being used in reconnaissance.
When the Americans approached the
Oureq they were first held up by ar
tillery and machine gun lre. A sharp
lighting ensued. Then the artillery
came up b.hind our infantry and the
resistance was wiped out.
The Ourcq Is narrow and shallow. The
Americans forded Il. The FIRST man

The general withdrawal from the
bottom OF the pocket took place Fri
day and Saturday. German artillery
fire began 10 decrease In volume, appsr-

rounds Of machine gun ammunition
and many very large dumps OF large
and small calibre shells along the north
and south road in Fere Forest. Numer-
Gus machine guns also were taken but
they have not yet been counted.
Wounded men returning from the
fight ara in the highest spirits. Most
of their wounds sre machine bullets
through the Rrmor leg. All OF them

I'm sorry, but ! don't know. I
haven't had a chance TO look.
A letter taken from prisoner indi-
Gates the Germans hope for a victory
