AMERICAN DASH INSTILLS
FEAR INTO The GERMANS

The American spirit and devotion to
duty is amazing even to those who have
watched the war and been on the bat
tleiled for years. Time after time the
Americans have charged into intense ma
chine gun fire. through artillery bar
RACES and have driven back the Ger
mans, whose infantry cannot stand up
In hand 10 hand combats.
An American lieutenant stumbled
into a rolling kitchen at the roadside
behind the lines and asked for some
thing to eat. He trembled continually
and private offered to help him to a
hospital, but the officer refused.
I'm going back TO the front with my
boys" he said. I'm in a Stokes NOR
tar outfit and got shellshocked yester-
day so they sent me back when l could
not protest. tried 10 get released
from the hospital, but the doctors re-
fused, so there was nothing 10 do but
escape"

raned around them during their as
saults on the German nests yesterday
One battalion finally drove out the
Germans after a costly charge up hill.
In this advance a captured gun was
turned against the Boches. who run
like rabbits throwing down their rifles
and equipment and finally hating
around a new machine gun nest. This

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, July 3i.-The intrepid charg.
ing OF the Americans is not only win
ming ground. but it is also instilline
fear into Germans. Letters taken from
prisoners today and statements made
by them clearly show this.
There are many instances OF Ameri-
can heroism.
At one town the Germans counter
attacked obllging the Americans TO
retreat temporarily. Then the enemy
sent out a man under a white flag. He
asked II the Americans wanted to sur
render.
Hell, nor yelled their commander.
Were ready TO attack
This they did. retaking the village
and holding It permanently.
The more intelligent Germans fear
they won't be able TO hold out much
longer against the increasing Allied
forces.
"The German army couldn't hold two
months longer at the present rate Of
losses" declared one German officer.
A Prussian prisoner was found TO
carry a letter written TO his wife be-
fore the battle He wrote:
THE war is hopeless for us now that
we are opposed TO these ferocious
Americans who cannot be defeated.
Their artillery already has caused ter
rble losses. We must be annlhilated
by their infantry"

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ~
FRANCE, July 3i.-Stiff resistance the
Germans are now putting up indicates
that a strong line has been established
and bitter efforts are being made TO
keep the Allies from breaking through
IL but prisoners insist the enemy will
make his most determined stand in the
sector between Rheims and Scissors.
The orderly German retreat toward
Fismes is still in progress screened by
heavy rearguard action along the line
from Villemontoire through Parcy-Et-
Tigny, grand nozoy and Fere-En-Tar-
denois eastward beyond Seringes and
Sergy and on TO nOncheres. Americans
hold Sergy and Hill 2i2 nearby. They
also have stormed and hold Meurcy
Farm.
The battle is constantly becoming
more fierce. In bitter hand TO hand
conflicts the American infantry was at
grips with the enemy all day yester-
day. German artillery is working with
the infantry for the flrst time since the
retreat started American artillery is
superbly backing up our infantrymen.
Remnants OF the fourth Prussian
Guards continue to oppose the Amer-
can advance in the region Of Sergy In
the fighting there, our troops charged
up one side Of hill and over the crest
into strong German forces massed on
the opposite slope American batteries
sent barrage ahead OF the columns,
which swept on and pushed through the
enemy despite vigorous resistance,
cleaning out German machine gun
nests as they advanced
In their retreat the boches left many
traps for the Americans. On one sec
tion OF our line bridges over the Ourcq
and roads leading TO the river were
mined in the expectation that United
States troops would be blown up when
they tried TO cross the stream. One N
the roads was heavily mined but the
explosion failed TO materialize.
Machine gun nests were also estab-
lished, two men to the nest. Working
under cover OF darkness the enemy Or
ganized strong positions into which the
Americans were expected 10 blunder in
their advance. In one section consider
able barbed wire was found stretched
in front Of the machine gun pits. Our
artillery did excellent work in destroy
ing these barricades and shelters-then
the Americans rushed in and routed
the enemy in hand-to-hand encounters.
Ambulanoes are being driven straight
TO the front line so the wounded may
be cared for with more speed. The

MISERABLE WIFE
II is customary to comfort the wife
who gets into this frame Of mind by
telling her that her trouble is doubt
less imaginary. And in most instances
it is.
Any observant business woman can
assure a jealous wife that the average
girl who works down town does not
pose at one corner Of a domestic tri-
angle II she can help It. She hopes 10
marry some day, to be a wife herself.
and she cannot afford TO sacrifice a
single chance by letting a married man
make love to her.
Business girls, like society girls. have
a keen sense Of the relative value Of
regular marriage and irregular romance.
One in a while, Of course, the romantic
attachment commonly depicted in the
movies occurs in real life. Then, II the
man is Of average goodness, and II It is
his first adventure, he is probably quite
sincere in il. David Graham Phillips
uses such a man in his famous story
-"Old Wives for New"
When such an attachment exists the
wife's complaining will never influence
the husband except to make him stub
horn. And here is no discussion OF
justice, but only one Of expediency.
Probably the wife will fare best II
she keeps stlll and keeps posted. Then,
nine times out of ten, the affair will
wear itself out sooner than she ex-
poets.
Few men will sacrifice the respect Of
their children, their place n society,
and the accustomed comforts Of home,
for any girl, no matter what her charm.
Sooner or later the girl will discover
that she Is the loser and she VIII hurry
TO save the shreds OF her respectability
and TO look out for a genuine candi-
date for matrimony.
