vank. Perform Amazing Feat.

American Headquarters in France
Oct s.~Americans fighting under the
command of General Gouraud are cred
tied with an amazing performance in
the fighting In the Champagne sector.
A detachment assisted by French vol
unteers under an American captain
attacked strong machine gun nest
on the slopes Of Blanc Mont which had
long held up the Allied advance With
great skill the nest was enveloped
and captured and the entire, garrison

again King and the general walked
out with the Hangar between them.
And the Hangar had no turban on,

And his golden hair fell nearly to his
knees and changed his whole appear

But by that time the Rangers tur.

threw most doubt on the sentry's tale
about the golden hair. But, as the
sentry said. no doubt Partan Singh
was jealous.
