WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES.
June S-Dust, Marching men, thousands
and thousands OF them, camions without
number belchng little guns, belching
big guns, scurrying ambulances, boche
prisoners, most OF them wounded and
then more dust-that picture sticks to
one after two days spent behind the
allied lines Those days we're Saturday

farthest south and was halted. A two
days trip by automobile took me be-
hind a great portion OF the allied lines
and brought many thrilling sights. but

back of il.
Guns Held Huns Back.
Thofe Is one big reason why on Sun
day the boche was unable TO bring
up troops to penetrate into Chateau
Thierry and force the passage of the
river. That reason was the work OF the
allied artillery on Sunday. Friday night
the boches advance troops got ihlo
Chateau Thiery and tried to cross the
Marne by the four bridges of the city.
They were prevented by the machine
guns which with the artillery held back
the foe Saturday and Saturday night
That night the French guns were
brought up and placed in the hills south
OF Chateau Thierry and next morning
they got to work Sunday June 2, was
a perfect summer day.
II was a day made for weddings and
JOY. The boche had turned it into a day
of death and hate. Just south of
Chateau-Thierry rises a wooded III
the distance Of kilometer and a half
or two kilometerS from the city.
On top OF that hill with another New
York correspondent, lay in the long
grass for three hours and watched the
work Of our guns, Before us in a
splendid vista stretched the city, through
it winding the war famed Marine river
More than half the city is north OF the
river The hills are back of the city
five mflcs and the terrain on either side
was in perfect view.
Lined on East Side of River.
Down in the city were the allied In
iantry on one side of the river and the
boche on the other side. Back of the
city in clumps of trees lay the Ger
man batteries with more in yonder
woods and still more guns in two near
by villages VIC could see. The boches
were all under cover; no one could be
Sces from the hill but the landing Of
shells and the rattle of machine guns
every now and they told us they were
there. Behind us the French guns cut
loose little ones, middle sized ones and
big ones.
With the naked eye we could see
where each shell hit An airplane gave
them the directions of the boche in a
clump of woods north of the city.
Then the shells began to hit around
woods and then four landed right in he
midst of the clump. Behind a great
mill were the boches. With the incest
precision the French gunners sent

Perfect Artillery Fire.
For two hours we watched them
shelling that position and only once was
the mill hit when a shell little low took
a piece out OF one corner. Here and
there a house began to burn in the city
as some she'll hit II squarely. The big
shells in the railroad yards were fl
lowed by another which took the roof
neatly off house. II seemed as ii fifty
guns would let loose at once on that
poor city. All of the shells at times
seemed to fall on the other side Of the
river just a few yards many OF them
from where the allied machine gunners
and infantry held the south bank Of the
stream. Suddenly movement ap-
peared on one OF the roads, A mo-
ment later seven big shells lit right
there and there were no more move
ments in that place,

Scouting then showed the boche guns
in little village at the right. In two
minutes twenty shells landed in and
around the village shooting geysers OF
earth skywards, when we left the guns
were still going strong and the little
boche outfit was cut off in Chsteau-
Thierry, where no more Huns could
come to aid them We turned for a
last look as several salvos were let
go and they hit. Don Martin, OF the
Herald, turned to me and said Good
God, what would Broadway give to see
that show?" At one point on the trip
we came into little village that was
filled with soldiers of all sorts and

told his story. He belonged to the
