Americans a most wonderful recep-

barrier of language prevents many of
the boys from knowing as they de-

The fighting was continuous every
hour between these drives. There was
a constant interchange of attacks and
counter attacks while the Army was

German line.
Reliefs Move on Trucks.
On that final day the rapidly of
the German retirement was SO great
that our reliefs were brought up on
trucks, which were unloaded when
they reached the front line. This
does not mean that the Germans did
not resist. On Saturday 1 saw on
