German infantry came slipping down a
steep slope into wheatfield. As they
broke from the field and rushed toward
the wood, the American rifles and ma
chine guns again drove them back. They
fled in disorder.
After these latest attacks, the Amer
leans in this sector were resting, too
tired almost to take any interest in the
fact that the allied world is ringing
with their praises. Yet they retained
the same spirit which turned losing
fight at the Marne into victory.

Two new factors indicate the i'm

observation balloons. The other is
the large amount of gas shelling they
are indulging in. Wednesday night
and Thursday they unloosed five thous-
and gas shells. Thursday night and
Friday the Americans replied with an
equal number. Friday morning the
Germans sent over 1000 shells. Be-
fore the end of the day our artillery
had returned the same amount. Since
then the boches have laid off the gas
