Bold American Adventure.

With the Americans on the Marine
June 19.-0ne Franco-American unit on
this front, under an American command
er, faces the well known Tenth land
wehr regiment, it was established in a
daring patrol raid by American marines
A captain and seven men crept down
to the water s edge near the town of
Charteves( seven miles east Of Chat.
eau Thierry, on the south bank of the
Marne and directly opposite Jaulgonne)
In the darkness they crossed to the op-
posite side in boat.
As they piled out on the bank they
encountered a couple of sentries, who
fled without offering resistance, altho
the patrols only weapons were the cap
tain pistol and the men s knives.
The Americans rushed into the town
and found five Germans asleep in eel
lar. They dragged them out and rushed
them back to the boat. Three of the
boches were rowed across.
In the meantime the alarm had spread
and the Germans sent up rockets. A
number of Huns fired at the boat as it
was pulled for the American side. De-
spite this fire which increased as more
Germans rushed down to the shore, the
boat put back for the two remaining
boche prisoners and the two Americans
guarding them.
After the prisoners and their captors
had jumped into the boat they started
for the American side again. AS it near
ed the shore it struck some submerged
object and capsized. All of the occu-
pants were rescued.
There were dozens of volunteers for
this venture. Those who were chosen
swore solemnly that they would not be
captured.
