LOCATED ON PATROL
Several Captured When French
And Americans Made Trip
Over Marne :
LOWELL MELLETT

With the American Troops On the
Marne, June 19.-One Franco Amer
ican unit on patrol service before the
Marine discovered that in the sectors
where the Germans hold ground OF
both sides OF the stream, only the
smallest force is kept to hold these
positions during the night. in this
instance the patrolliag force Of Sam
mics and French went clear t0 the
banks of the stream
Once there they crossed the river
in boat On the farther bank sew
eral sentries fired at the men and
then retreated. Five of the number
were captured and three taken across
the river as prisoners. Rockets
warning the bOches of the raid were
sent up and the boat went back
across the river under heavy fire
Near the French shore it capsized
All the Americans reached the shore
in safety and the prisoners, unable tt
cross the river again, remained in
the hands of the Yankees.

TEUTS ARE NURSING
RESERVE WITH CARE
Hindenberg Is Still Planning
For Another Drive Toward
Paris
HENRY WOOD

With the French Armies Afield
June 19.-Despite four desperate
German drives, which have been in
progress practically continuously
since March q, IIindenburgh still has
"a large force OF fresh, untouched re-
serves which he is nursing. with the
greatest care. 1t is possible that the
boches hope to wear out the allies
in steady drives with divisions part
ly depleted and worn out. When the
British and French line is well bat
tered and weakened by these as
saults the reserves will be thrown in
for the final battle before Paris.
The allied troops also have great
force of reserves which have been
guarded with mastery care. Never
theless if the Teutons are able to
keep up the present offensive rate it
will be necessary to use the present
reserve force and all that can save
the allied line after this is steady
line of fresh American troopers. In
the face of these facts it is impera-
tive that the United States continue
with all possible speed the transpor-
tation of troops to Europe.
