With the American Army in France,
April 8.-(By The Associated Press.)
The American railroad engineers
who helped stem the German tide in
the first days of the battle now being
fought on the French and British
fronts, fought shoulder to shoulder
with the old campaigners in holding
their ground steadily and only retired
to previously prepared positions when
forced to do so and inflicted casualties
upon thousands of Germans as they
advanced in close formation, in one
place as many as twenty waves, each
wave ten fet deep and twenty yards
apart. The Americans with the Cana
dians' had all the ammunition they
needed and although they were sup
ported by the artillery and armed with
rifles only and with few machine
guns they poured scythe-like streams
of bullets into the enemy at several
different times until the weapons were
so hot as to be useless.
This handful of American soldiers,
who were not hardened to such ter
rife slaughter, was sickened by the
shambles it created, but fought fero-
ciously for several days, helping to
hold the enemy all the way from St.
Quentin to the vicinity of Noyon.
These were the Americans mentioned
at the time in the official commun-
iques, but these details of their ex-
PLOTS it has only now been permitted
to secure.
When the German attack began the
Americans were working in the rear
lines with the Canadians under Can
adian command. They quickly threw
down their tools and seized the weap-
ons with which they had been armed
for some months and formed them
selves into fighting unit. The Ger
mans came on and finally reached the
positions where the Americans were
waiting.
The exact number of the engineers
can not be given, but they were COM
paratively small. They had no inten-
ton of retreating, however, and were
bent upon killing all the Germans pos
sible.
Machine Guns Cut Gaps in Dense
Gray Ranks.
AS the first gray enemy advanced
the American forces let them come
until they were within range, then
opened fire, pouring in a storm Of
bullets. Gaps appeared in the advanc-
ing lines at many places, some of them
large, where the machine guns haG
chewed through. Still the German
