Americans are running against some
Of the vicious machine gun resistance
such as marked the advance north of
the Marne.
The Germans depend largely on the
deadly machine guns, so the boys, with
the aid of the skill and caution they
learned in former conflicts, are sacri-
fcing speed to conservation of lives.
They are making a. splendid job at a
minimum of losses.
One picturesque encounter occurred
in the Argonne forest-an enormous
stretch of heavy timber land similar
to the Adirondacks. The Germans had
honeycombed 1t with nests and de-
csded to take heavy toll.
The operation was slow and dan
gerous, but 1t was possible between
spurts of fire for our men to dart be
hind trees or other objects large
enough to protect them.
The Americans captured more than
thirty machine guns by sneakirg up
where they could get the range of the
operators and then sniping them with
rifle fire. Some of the test shots in
the army were employed in this man
hunt. In this spectacular manner the
boys cleared more than two miles of
forest and are still progressing.
