AMERICANS IN ACTION

PARIS, May 29.-Thc American forces are reported to have repulsed two German counter attacks launch ed against the village of Cantigny. which was captured by the Yankees yesterday in the first offensive oper- ation undertaken by them unassisted by Allied forces. The Americans advanced behind their own artillery fire, captured the village from the Germans and dug in two hundred yards east of the village, where they are holding on confidently. As the boys started across No Mans Land, many of them joked about eating a Boche for breakfast. They fought like veterans, and when their officers sprang ahead of them and yelled, "Come on, boys," they dashed for ward, paying no attention to the thousands of German bullets which whizzed about them.
 French newspapers today are fea- turing the brilliant work of the Montdidier sector.

OFFICER
 DESCRIBES DRIVE
Mass Attacks of Germans Are Staggering Feature of the
 Great World War.

LIVERPOOL, May 29-A Liver pool officer, in letter from the front, writes of the German mass attack recently:
 "I have watched several of these attacks through my field glasses, and have been filled with horror each time. They ploughed forward in serried ranks. The majority did not even trouble to fix bayonets. Many had their rifles slung over their shoulders and they advanced appar- ently with profound indifference over the bodies of their comrades.
 My first thought was that they must be drugged, they advanced with such callousness and utter un- concern. The simile of the locust has often been applied to the Ger man hosts, and it would seem to be we'll justified, for in all the recent attacks there is the suggestion of the insensate soldier being absolute ly indifferent to what happens to himself or his comrades, and obey ing only one over-mastering force and impulse.
 "The whole object of British and French military training is to de- velop the initiative and intelligence of the individual soldier, and per haps this explains why in many cases British or French division has been able to hold up six or seven times it's number"

ALLIES OUTNUMBERED

PARIS, May 29.-The Great Ger man military machine is in full swing along a twenty-mile front, and the French and. British are greatly outnumbered. The Allied line is be- ing pressed back by sheer weight of numbers, but at no point has it been pierced. The bending back has been uniform, the Allies giving battle at all times. The enemy is pressing forward with a recklessness hitherto unrecorded, and the losses, in consequence, are tremendous.
 The French forces have fallen back to the eastern outskirts of Soissons, while the British are oppo- ing the advance south and south east of St. Thierry. It is estimated that the Germans have advanced at certain points on the Aisne a distance of fifteen miles.

NENANA WOOL BID
 CONCEDED WINNER
Local Offer for Fourth Division Allotment Believed Highest
 In the Interior.

As nearly as can be ascertained, Nenana will be awarded the half pound of White House wool which was offered to the highest bidder during the Red Cross Drive. Ne nana's bid was $21O and the next highest bid thus far reported was made by Fairbanks, which offered $170. These two bids, it is believed. are the highest of the division, al though the result of the bidding will not be known definitely until Ruby and other lower river towns are heard from.
 Ruby came forward with very substantial subscription to the Red Cross, and the patriots of Iditarod have responded to every appeal in a most generous manner, so~lt is possible that either of those towns bid high for the wool. The result will not be known positively, at any rate, until they are heard from.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.- The third day of the German drive finds the kaiser's forces still batter ing at the defenses of the French and British along the Aisne front.
