Another soldier, Raymond Demun-

alive for three days, when he crawled
to the surface. Demunsky was born

American casualties are much under
the first estimates.
Edward Jacques, a New Haven boy,
told the correspondent he was one of
hundred and fifty Americans who
at one time were almost surrounded
by at least 500 Germans. French
troops came to their assistance, said
Jacques, who added:
1--WE got on fine with the French.

II seemed like they were our own fel.
lows. We certainly made 1t hot for
the Germans"
Sergt. John A. Dickman, formerly
printer of Somerville, Mass, and who
Is now wounded in a hospital, told
remarkable story. He and his men
had charge Of two Stokes guns. They
were isolated for IL minutes in an
enemy barrage and were unable to
signal the American lines. Dickman
was wounded, but kept pouring a hot
fire into the German attaching waves
and broke up the formation. He and
his men retired only when their guns
became jammed.
"Machine-gun" Parker, who manned
a gun by himself, was asked by his
superior officer at one stage Of the en-
gagement whether he could hold the
line. He replied that he could, unless
killed, and he did.
Father William ]. Farrell, Of West
Newton, Mass, a regimental chaplain,
proved such a good fighter that high
officer offered him a commission in his
command. Father Farrell went to the
assistance Of battery when four of
the American gunners were killed,
carrying up ammunition and helped
the crew to keep the gun working. He
was wounded slightly.
Raymond Connor, of New Haven, a
sanitary squad runner, was another
hero. He was one of eight men cap.
tured by the Germans who escaped
and went to Seicheprey. They took
charge of the first-aid station there
until a doctor arrived. Connor then
went to the rear and organized a new
squad returned TO the front and was
wounded
