AMERICANS SAVED
DAY FOR BRITISH
Closed Gap in Line and Cheated
Germans Of Victory

An Atlantic Port, April 22.-An
tie Of Picardy arrived here last night
on an Am erican steamship. He gave
his Impressions of the fighting at the
point where he was stationed making
observations He said that the Ger
mans had actually broken through
the forces of Gen. Herbert de la F'oer
Cough. com mandor of the Fifth Brit
ish army, and were unaware Of their
success because of the heavy fog en-
shrouding the battlefield
The gap was about two miles wide
and 6, body Of British cavalrymen,
also unaware that their line had been
broken, charged forward directly up
on the Germans, who were in great
force.
The American officer, who was
with the Fifth army, said that the
cavalrymen came galloping back
with unmouited soldiers who were in
panic. He asked some of then, why
they were running and they said the
Germans were coming in great num-
bers. Then he suggested:
why not stop and relieve your
self of some Of the weiGht Of bullets.
You can run easier then"
Officers came up, rallied some OF
the TunaWays and mustered railroad
loborers. including many Chinese,
warehousemen. a body Of American
Engineers and other WeapOnless fight
ers, forming what was called at the
time a "scratch army" which got
guns and put up SO gallant n fight
that the oncolning German rush was
halted and the de1roralizecl section of
the Fifth army was able to reform
and retreat to the army of Gen. Byng,
closing the gap of about two miles
and strengthening the British front.
The American officer said the men
Of Coughs forces that he saw seemed
to be badly dem allied and that the
American Engineers ana railroad
laborers. particularly the Chinese,
fought with great enthusiasm The
Chinese were wild with delight at the
chance to be real soldiers and fought
been under fire while at work and
1onged for the opportunity to shoot
back.
Gen. Cough was relieved of his
command for his conduct in this
can,najgn and Gen. EawInson re-
placed him.
TIE American officer described the
Australians and the Canadians as the
hest rough and tumble fighters Of the
British forces and said they resem-
b1ed in this respect our own Ameri-
can boys on the French front.
He spoke highly Of the valor OF the
French, who. he said, while inferior
in physique to the Americans, We're
fu11v equal to them in pugnacity.

force without stint or limit. At the
some time the President has left wide
open the door to peace.
The text Of the communication
handed to the charge OF Switzerland In
Washington follows:
Sir: have the honor to acknowt
edge. on behalf Of the President. your
note Of Oct. s. inclosing the communi'
cation from the German government
to tho President. and ! am instructed
by the President to request you to
make the following communication to
the imperial German chancellor:
"'Before making reply TO the re-
quest Of the imperial German govern.
ment and in order that that reply shall
b candid and straightforward as the
momentous interests involved require.
the President Of the United States
deems It necessary to assure himself
Of the exact meaning Of the note of
the imperial CHANCELLOR
Does the imperial chancellor mean
that the imperial German government
accepts the terms laid down by tho
President in his address to the Con-
gress of the United States on Jan. 8
that its object in entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details Of their application?
''The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose a cessation Of arms
to the governments with which tho
government Of the United States Is as
ISOLATED against the central powers.
20 long as the armies Of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith of
any discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded ter
r.tory.
"The President also feels that he
ID justified in asking whether the Inn
perial chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities Of the
empire who have 30 far conducted the
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point Of
view. ~ ellG
Accept, sir. the renewed assur'
ances of my high consideration.
