When They Saved Paris.

This was the stage upon which an
immensely moving drama was played.
Yet 1t is q drama which remains as
vague and unreal to me as 1t does to
the actors. No one has yet told a con-
nected story.
'I have no story" the colonel said.
II can only tell you of what I saw"
He is an old regular soldier. who has
seen service on many q sea and in

the Americans were unable to bury
their dead and the German dead still
lie uncovered by earth In that foster

the men went without sufficient food
and water. At no time did they have
any hot food or coffee, but lived on
canned rations and water.

the timed beef

single man to capture q machine gun
Yet read a few of the citations:
Sergt. James A. Ducey and Private
Raymond B. Van Sickel advanced on

Vancfng wave on June 13. Killed Ger
man officers and men in hand-to-han

Prtvates David P. Coivin and John

ners ana captured the gun.
Nine men advanced ON q machine
gun nest which threatened to hold
pack our wave and drove out the Ito
Germans who operated twenty ma
chine guns in 1t. The Germans sur
rendered after the wave had passed.
the whole story of the American
attack may be found in the report
