PICKED ENEMY FORCE
ROUTED BY YANKEES
Soldier Of Italian Descent Kills One
German and Then Captures
Three Others.

With the American Army in France,
April 1s ASSOCIATED Press) The
German attack against the American
positions on the right bank Of the
Meusc, north Of st. Mihiel, Sunday
was made by a force of 400 picked
troops who were recently brought
there from the Russian front.
Although the Americans were out
mum bered more than two to one, they
completely repulsed the enemy, drtv-
ing him back to his own trenches, The
known enemy casualties include 81
dead. many wounded, and ! prison.
ers, besides q, number Of wounded who
we're dragged back to the German
lines by their comrades.
The Germans attempted to deceive
the Americans by appearing in front
Of the trenches and speaking French
and English, and also by yelling
Gas" The deception was soon dis
covered and cost the enemy dearly.
The American casualties were COM
paratively slight
Numerous stories of individual
bravery poured into the headquarters
today. A young Italian. horn in a
PENNSYLVANIA mining town, killed one
German and captured three. He saw
eight Germans walking in a, cou1muni
cation trench ahead of him, and, al
though alone, he shot and killed one
and ran after the others capturing
two and wounding some of those who
escaped. He then returned to the
American line, turned over the pris-
oners to a none oned officer,
and coolly asked for a, match,
The officer jokingly said:
I'll give YOU a match if you bring
in another prisoner"
The italian, who is only feet 4
inches in height, took him at his word
and went back over the parapet. He
returned in less than five minutes,
walking with drawn bayonet behind a,
six-foot German who was yelling:
"Kamerad, ka1n Grad"
A few minutes later it was reported
that ten Germans were lying in a
machine gun nest in No Mans Land.
The italian started Cor the spot alone,
but he was ordered back by the com =
rnander of the unit, wing later sent q.
detachm ent Of men to rout out the
enemy, which they did.

are going to give you domination over
the whole of Europe. You have
practically control over the independ-
ent states all along our eastern Dor
der. We are going to give you a
free pathway to the lllimita BILE riches
of the East. We are going to turn
France into "a second rate power.
Britain is to follow. America, is to
follow Britain, and Germany is to be
the colossus which bestrides the
world, without q rival and hardly
without critic.
All that they say to their inter
national socialists. all that is given
YOU by tho blessings of the German
Constitution, by the tradition Of the
military party, by the steady insist
ence and determination of the gov
erning powers In Prussia
"And in the Prussianized Germany
there Is a steady determination to
prove to the world that force is the
way, and the only way, to obtain sue
cess. They preach that doctrine and
practice that doctrine to show that In
the case OF Germany It is successful"
In Teuton Blood.
For some reasons, which he was
quite unable to explain, there was
apparently In the ordinary German,
who might call himself a socialist IN
ternationa1 socialist, or whatever he
pleased, deep down in his nature a
predatory instinct, so that when sue
cess appeared to crown his efforts he
was like a wild beast falling upon his
helpless prey.
1t was quite clear from the events
now going on in the west that the
object Of the Germans was to over
come ono fraction OF the forces OPP
posed to them In the belief that If
those forces were knocked out the
others must give in and q German
peace must be the result It was for
this reason that they had concern
tt ated their efforts in front of the
British army.
Was that military calculation going
to succeed? (Cries Of mo- No!')
There were many reasons why it
should not. Perhaps the most i'm
portant was because the German
higher command was determined that
this land struggle should come to an
end before the United States could
bring its forces to bear upon the
western front. The newspapers in
Germany and Austria Hungary and
the propaganda in Italy and neutral
countries were unwearied in their
contempt for anything that America
could do. They had spread the fable
broadcast. but did not believe In it
themselves. What they did believe and
hope was. not that Americas weight
in the war was negligible, but that
that weight could only be brought to
bear after Germany had struck de-
cisive blow. That was their calcula-
ton.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy. p~~
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins. -
