Child Falls Unhurt.

Denver, Colo.-While playing on the
roof of building at No. 1910 Fifteenth
street recently, Sylvia Williams, six
years old. fell 20 feet through the sky
light to the floor, and aside from
few bruises and scratches escaped un-
hurt. A call for assistance was sent
to the police, and fully Is minutes
elapsed before keys to the door of the
store could be secured to reach the girl.
As soon as the store was unlocked the
little girl was carried to her home, No.
l43h Larimer street, where she was
attended by Police Surgeon Menser.
A thorough examination failed to show
any serious injury and she was left at
her home.

MEX|CANS KILL
j. S. SOLDIERS
10 TO 20 Americans Fall In
Border Battle.
100 MEXICANS DEAD OR HURT
Several Hundred American Troops
Engaged In The Conflict With
Mexlcans-15 American Privates
Among The Wounded.

Nogales, Ariz-One American Off
Ger fell fighting in the streets of No
gales, one civilian was killed, another
officer seriously wounded and between
10 and 20 American soldiers killed
during the skirmish which took place
along International avenue between
American troops and MeXicans in No
gales, Sonora.
Approximately Is Americans were
wounded, including Lieut-Col. Fred
erick l.. Herman, who was shot
through the right leg while command
ing the American troops, but continued
in command on crutches.
The dead include Capt. ]. d. Hun.
gerford who was killed in action.
The civilian was CASTOR Reddock. who
was killed during the first hour of
the fighting. Lieut. Luke w. Lotus
was seriously wounded.
While the casualties on the Mexican
side of the border are not known, 1t
was estimated that 100 had been killed
by fire from the American side, while
at least twice that number included
a number of civilians, were wounded.
1t was reported, that the Mayor Of
Nogales, Sonora, was killed, but this
was not confirmed.
The fighting followed the alleged ef.
forts of Mexican customs official to
smuggle a fellow.countryman across
the boundary into the United States.
An American sentry attempted to
stop him. Two Mexicans fired at the
sentry across the street, striking him
In the right arm. The fire was re.
turned by American patrols and after
MeXicans had rushed from nearby
buildings and started shooting across
the line from behind buildings and
walls, the firing became general.
Reinlorcements from an infantry
regiment and negro cavalry regi.
mem were rushed to the border and
took up combat positions. 1t was esti.
mated that more than 300 American
soldiers and at least so civilians par.
ticipated in the shooting. The fight.
ing which started at i.O5 p. NJ, con.
tinued without abatement until $50,
when II died down except for an oc.
casional shipping shot along the long
international street.
At $50 white flag was displayed
by the Mexicans, a parley followed,
but the sniping continued until after
Z O'Clock. Bullets fell in Nogales and
civilians were ordered to remain in
doors and without the zone of fire.
Reports that Juan G.. Cabral, leader
of a rebel band which has been op.
Grating south of the border. had an.
peared within IA miles of Nogales,
was camped at the Maytorena ranch
and that the shooting in Nogales was
preliminary to an attack on the town
by his band could not be confirmed.

/ Germans shelled them with everything
they had, big guns included.
Tipping OF the Hun.
Now, the Hun doesn't use his big
guns unless he knows what he's shoot
ing at. How he learned, however, was
pretty evident. Some one back Of our
lines was tipping him off.
The signal service sergeant was the
first to detect how 1t was done. His
squad was repairing signal wires back
of the trenches. The sergeant halted
in his work and gazed skywards. A
pigeon was going over his head. The
sergeant watched It idly, calculating
as he stood there how far he'd lead 1t
with 12-gauge. Then with sigh
he went to laying wire again.
A few minutes later the sergeant
stopped again. Another pigeon had
risen from the wood. But q few min
utes later, when n third pigeon rose
from the wood, the former trap-shooter
tarried no longer. A half hour later he
bolted into the quartermaster's depart
ment, clicked salute and spoke hur-
riedly.
"Glmme n shotgun" he demanded.
Shotguns are regular part of GER
tain quartermaster's supplies. Soon
the sergeant might have been seen
standing behind hedgerow gazing to-
ward the nearby wood. Presently he
was seen to stiffen, at the same time
murmuring pull" The 12-gauge
swung briefly In an arc; crack and
n crumpled ball of feathers came tum-
bling toward earth. To make sure, the
sergeant gave 1t second barrel just
before it hit the earth.
Clever Shooting.
II was pretty clever shooting. The
bird was high, going over fast and
quartering. "Kin," murmured the SER
geant methodically, as he retrieved the
fallen game.
That afternoon the sergeant got four
other birds. Alta ched to leg Of each
pigeon was code message In German
handwriting.
A short time later a detachment Of
military police got the owner of the
pigeons. In his blouse and sabots he
looked like any Of the peasants tllling
the fields behind the lines. On being
stripped, however, he proved to be a
German under officer

Advancing Foe Had Surprise Of
Life When He Found Ameri-
cans in Line.
GRAPHIC STORY IN LETTER
Tells Of Our Troops Heroic Resist
ance In June-HeId by Many Off
GERS to Have Saved Paris
From Huns.

Washington.-A graphic eyewitness
account Of the fighting near Chateau
Thierry, In which American divisions
Including the marine brigade, took
part, early in June, was made public
recently by the navy department. II
Is In the form Of long letter from an
officer Of the marines to Major Gen
eral Barnett, commandant of the
corps, and the story told is Of peculiar
significance, as In the opinion Of many
officers here II was the stand Of the
Americans along this line which saved
Paris.
The name of the writer is not dis
closed. The Americans were rushed to
the line In motortrucks to support the
hard-pressed French. On June / the
marine brigade deployed in a support
position, the battalion commanded by
Maj. Thomas Holcomb hurrying into
the line as the men climbed out Of the
trucks. The Germans were coming on,
and June 2 the French dropped back,
passing through the American lines.
1--WE had installed ourselves In
house in La Vote Chatel, a little vii
lage between Champlllon and Lucy-le-
Bocage," the letter says. From one
Ede we had observation of the north
and northeast. They came out on a
wonderfully clear day in two columns
across wheat field. We could see the
two twin brown columns advancing In
perfect order until two-thirds of the
columns, we judged were in sight.
Foe Slowed UP by ShrapneI.
"The rifle and machine gun fire was
incessant and, overhead, shrapnel was
bursting. Then the shrapnel came on
the target at each shot. The white
patches would roll away, and we could
see that some Of the columns were still
there, slowed up, and 1t seemed perfect
suicide for them to try.
"Then, under that deadly fire and a
barrage Of rifle and machine-gun fire,
the Boche stopped. It was too much
for any men.
"That men should fire deliberately,
and use their sights and adjust their
range" he says, 'was beyond their ex-
perience. 1t must have had telling
effect on the morale of the Boche, for
It was something they had not counted
on. AS matter of fact, after pushing
back the weakened French and then

London.-While the Germans were
busily engaged in defending them.
selves against the attacks of the Brit
ish and French armies from the Ancre
River TO the region of Scissors, Field
Marshal Haig struck another surprise
blow over a new front north of the
old battle zone. The new offensive
was launched from the east of Arras
on the Scarpe River and southwark
to the. Coieul. All along the front
the British pressed forward at some
places TO a depth of more than two
miles and captured a half dozen or
more villages, among them Monchy-
la-Preux, Guemppe and Wancourt.
Across the Cojeul the new British
attacks on the old battlefront brought
them to the village of Mory and st.
Leger, and farther south the small
town Of Favreuil, one and half miles
northeast of Bapaume, from which
the British pressed on eastward about
mile. Farther south the British are
reported unonicially to have reached
the western outskirts of Thilloy in the
nipper movement they are carrying
out against Bapaume. With Haig's
men now standing well within gun
range Of the town it seems likely that
the Germans will be forced to evacuate
Bapaume in short order.
Additional gains also have been
made by the British east of Albert
and on both sides of the Somme River.
In fact, notwithstanding the efforts OF
the Germans, through the use OF large
rcinrorcements. the British and French
all along the line from Albert to Sols-
sons have materially bettered their
positions and carried further forward
their plan Of making the Picardy bat.

mans and Roye, like Bapaume in the
north, apparently is in danger of be.
ing pinched out OF the line In an
enveloping movement More than 600
prisoners were taken by the French
in the operation.
The Germans have thrown further
heavy counter.attacks against the
French in the region north OF Sois-
sons, where the French continue their
pressure northward in maneuvers
which seriously threaten to outGank
the Chemin-dcs.Dames and Laon sec.
tors and to put the entire German
line from Ypres to Rheims in jeopardy.
All the attacks have been sustained
by General Mangin's forces and the
French even have pushed back the
Germans beyond the points from
which they started.
The operations of the British on the
northern part of the front, from the
east of Arras to the region of Bulle-
court, have brought them virtually
upon or very near the old Hindenburg
line.

HUNS NOT BRAVE FIGHTERS

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Private James
Foley of an engineer regiment says the
Germans are not brave fighters unless
they have Iodds Of five to one." In a
letter to his brother he says:
81 am free to state that l have
changed my mind regarding the alleged
bravery and the stlcktoitiveness OF
the Huns. They will fight If you give
them odds of five to one. They are like
the would-be sports who will bet If
they are given n sure thing on a horse

Tense they were literally up In the

that out later from prisoners, for the
Germans never knew we were in the
front line when they made that at
tack. They were absolutely mystified
at the manner In which the defense
stiffened up, until they found that our
troops were In line"
The letter tells in detail Of the days
Of fighting that followed. II describes
n daylight charge against machine
gun host and Of scouting raids up to
June Q, when the whole brigade swung
forward to straighten out the line. This
action resulted In the capture Of Bel

Holc0mb In support. The woods we're

night word came back that Robertson,
with 20 men of the Ninety-sixth COM
pany, had taken Bouresches, breaking
through heavy machine gun barrage

with an automatic in either hand, was
hit three times before he would allow
himself to be taken to the rear.
