London, Monday. - In descrtb- ing the battle between the Amer- cans and the Germans which took place yesterday at Fishes, the great German supply tase On the Nesle river, Reuters correspondent says: "The enemy's dead remained un- buried today. But who should have buried them? To those whom the enemy commander left behind him he gave orders to hold the posi- ton or die. This they have done. They have died. They lie in groups about their machine guns or light cannon. Dozens and dozens of them lie about in heaps, where they fell at the hands of the Americans, each one with an American bullet thru his brain or breast, or with an equally decisive stab of an Ameri- can bayonet."
