The Americans were not assuming a

One man of the storming party came

was that in this first attack on a con-
siderable scale by the Americans, in
coordination with the French, the
work was done as though it had been
run by a train dispatcher. The Ameri-
cans played well their parts.
AS a military operation, considered
in the ligh1 of other fights on the west

portance indeed. But as a test of Amer
lean mind and mettle it was of real
value. The French officers who diracted
the operation cannot say enough:
