WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
LORRAINE, April 21.- (nioht) -
American troops attacked tho Ger
mans northwest of TouI this morning,
following heavy barrage, retaking all
the positions in Saturdays strategic
retreat. The ground was covered with
enemy dead, showing the heavy cost
Of their assault.
Latest reports show that the Ameri-
cans, although outnumbered, vaIiantiy
withstood the onslaught Of three waves
Of storm troops.
A German barrage behind their own
troops forced their advancing Infantry
across No Mans Land into the attack.
Americans say the Germans were
"dope crazed" and more like wild men
and beasts than humans, singing and
yelling as they advanced.
In the artiIelry-wreeked villages In
the rear, the Red Cross, Salvation
Army and canteen workers bravely
stuck, helping the wounded and serv-
ing coffee to exhausted soldiers.
During Saturdays attack, many
Americans fought in gas masks for
eight hours. One officer ordered tho
men to load up with srenades and
stick. Then he took up rifle himself
and enpticd it into the advancing en-
emy, aftcrward joining his men in
hurting = enades.
A dispatch bearer, cent from the
front, could not see through his gas
mask He ripped 1t off, ran through
three barrsges and delivered the mes
sage. Returning, he fell unconscious.
His first words, on recovering con-
sclousness were:
"'m not yellow, am |, Doc? Did !
deliver the message? ri go back

In a village In No Mans Land (Seich-
seprey), Germans and Americans were
mixed up everywhere. The Yankees
tried to force the Soches into the
open. declaring:
"We can lick 'em when they come
out of their sewers"
Machine sunners did not know when
to give up. Setting their guns in the
streets, they r1owe1 down the Ger
mans. One officer told in breaking
voice, of finding two machine aunners

around them.
