the River Marine, took a most active
part in the defense of Chateau-Thierry
when the town was menaced with i'm
minent capture by the Germans.
Scarcely had the Americans alight-

were ordered into Chateau-Thiei1y
with a battalion of French colonial
troops. The Americans Immediately
organized their defenses and by rapid
action and excellent shooting caused
the approaching enemy to hesitate.

field with unbounded enthusiasm
Special French correspondents near
the battle line describe admiringly
how the Yankees went into the fray
without a moments pause, though
necessarily tired from their long
march. On all sides the Americans
are hailed as reserves of the first
order.
American patrols and machine gun
ners instantly established contact with
the American 75's and promptly join
ed in the rigging up and dispensing Of
the German columns.
The Americans fought in Indian
fashion, from tree to tree, in the
Neuilly Wood, making good use of
grenades, pistols, bayonets and ma
chine guns. Then they dashed up the
northern edge of the wood and caught
the retreating Germans. Hundreds of
American guns Immediately raised
their ranges and caught the German
reinforcements in their fire, while the
Yankee infantry splashed through the

American infantry cleaned out one

Total Casualties
May Not Exceed
100000 Men

WASHINGTON, Nov. lon
Gals here estimate that the total
casualties of the American expedi-
tiOnary forces in the war will not
exceed 100000, including the men
killed in action. wounded, died of
wounds, disease and accidents, and
the missing who never will be &C
counted for. Some Of those who
have been missing probably will be
accounted for when the prisoners
are returned from Germany.
1t was said today that it probably
will be several weeks before the
record of casualties can be COM
pleted.
An unofficial tabulation OF pub
lished casualty lists including those
of Nov Il, shows a grand total OF
1880 men. Careful estimates made
today, based on knowledge of the
battle conditions faced by the first
and second armies in the days i'm
mediately preceding cessation OF
hostilities and on the average lists
heretofore, lead officers to believe
that all unpublished and unreported
casualties will not exceed 10000.
Estimates based on previous rec
ords fix the total marine casualty in
France at less than 5000
