Yankees Taking Part
Washington, March 25.-Ameri-

While news was fragmentary, 1t
was stated that the Americans in
cluded engineers. Several of our
engineer regiments are believed to
hace been with the Haig forces ia
the Cambria region.
Win Name for ValOr.
American railway engineers got
into the battle at the time of the
heavy fighting in the vicinity OF
Cambria several months ago. They
distinguished themselves by brav-
cry in hand-to-hand combats at
that time.
Their work was the construction
of railroad lines in that section, but
none of them shirked when they
found themselves in the midst of
the battle.
Some of the engineers are known
to have been still at work in that
same Il cality. Whether their en-
trance, into the fray was unpre-
mediated, as vas the case before, is
not known.
The reports were also to the ef-
feet that additional American
troops, comprising some of the re-
serve units provided for by the su-
preme council at Versailles, also
were used in withstanding the ter
rife German drive.
Added to Reserve.
This reserve originally was com
posed of British and French forces,
but Americans are understood to
have been added.
These Americans. probably in
cluding both infantry and artillery.
are distant from those holding sec
tors of the western front at other
points.
