broken up by American artillery fire

sent over and soon had pounded the out

With the British Army in France.
May 29.--Two officers were among the
prisoners taken by the Americans in
their attack on the village of Can.
tigny. The Americans attained all
their obiectives.
The American attack was along
two o-kilometer front. and II seems to
have taken the hard hitting Ameri-

complete their conquest which in.
cluded that amount Of territory as
we'll as the village Of Cantigny--an
exceptionally short time for such an
operation.
This remarkably fine showing comes
as a fitting companion piece to the
brilliant work done by the United
States soldiers in repulsing an enemy
assault made against them in the same
region yesterday morning. One Ameri-
can division was attacked at that time,
and the gray coats met with COM
pete reversal at all points.
This enemy attack was not heavy
one. however. and was easily dealt
with by the Americans. who had the
situation we'll in hand at all times.
Word of these two victories has
added much to the very favorable i'm
preston which the American troops
already have created along the British
front. It was foregone conclusion
that the Germans would make the
newest of the Allies along this front
the object Of an attack. in an attempt
to push them back and thereby create
n feeling that they had formed weak
link in the defending chain.
The general opinion Of the way in
which these American troops have
handled themselves In the last two
days seems to he summed up in a
comment made to the correspondent
this afternoon by French liaison
officer:
Magnificent" he exclaimed with
delight. THAT is the sort Of stuff we
will give the boche."

In the course of the fighting heavy

The Allied line has been maintained

Notwithstanding the smaller strength
