SWANS ATTACK
TEXAS ARMY CAMP;
LOST THEIR GIRLS

HOUSTON, Tex, July 27.-ShortlY
after midnight, when all was quiet at
Camp Waters. Timonium, where the
Second Regiment, under command of
Col Clinton L. Riggs, is encamped.
all sorts OF trouble suddenly broke
forth, and. for a time. the rumor pre-
vailed that the camp had been at
tackled by hostile force.
As a matter OF fact, a score or
more OF young men from the adjacent
village OF Texas, whose several
sweetheArts have been in the habit
of visiting the camp during the pres
ent week, decided to take summary
revenge upon the soldier boys, who
have apparently been cutting them
out" It was just after midnight.
while Company b was on guard, with
Capt L w. Tioton as officer OF the
day. when the attack was made.
With a CONFERRED rush the young
men from Texas attempted to break
through the lines. The first sentry
promptly called out the guard. Ser
geant Young, OF the guard detail. in
an energetic endeavor to arrive first
on the scene, stumbled and fell
against a tree stump, sustaining such
painful Injuries that he was obliged
to go to the camp hospital tent.
When the members OF the guard
reached the point of attack they were
welcomed with a shower OF stones
and miscellaneous missiles. and,
taken by surprise. were obliged to re-
tire, having received no orders to fire
and defend themselves. After a fusil-
lade Of stones. lasting about ten min
utes, the Texas marauders dispersed,
shouting all sorts OF imprecations
against the soldier boys.
Later a delegation OF the members
OF Company Z, having received leave
of absence for a few hours. paid a
visit to the village OF Texas. While
they were not exactly looking for
trouble, they said before leaving
camp that If they met any of the
enemy" there might be something
doing" At a late hour last night,
however, no reports OF casualties had
been received in the city.
The Washington times., 1918-07-27
ENEMY PREPARING
FOR COUNTER PUSH

PARIS, July 27.-Toward the main
Soissons-Chateau Thierry front the
enemy has been throwing in reserves,
drawing re-enforcements from the
north and east. Except at Oulchy-le-
Chateau the arrival OF those reserves
although II has checked the French
advance, has failed to stop il.
More than one military expert seeks
TO read the secret OF the enemy's in
tention.
Opinions are varied, but belief in
the imminence OF a general German
retreat to the line OF the Vesle fnds
no general expression. There is rath-
er a tendency to expect q big German
attack that would seek to restore the
compromised position OF the enemy in
the Tardenois region. The violence of
the enemy's resistance and the con-
slant arrival of fresh troops is inter-
preted as showing that the enemy. far
from fighting more rear guard actions
for the purpose Of giving him time to
remove the bulk Of men and material
to q new line. is concentrating his eff
forts with a view OF turning the tide.
