Then they opened fire. aiming at the
guns and the demoralized gunners, but
seeking chiefly to frighten the horses
as much as possible. The horses re-
quired little encouragement in this
direction, for their drivers deserted
them in search of cover and soon the
animals were galloping off in all di-

got their sufferings in their joy over
the beating the Germans had been Civ
en-, says the correspondent of La Lib

rible adversaries," the correspondent
reports
The wounded men in talking of the
engagement described the fighting as
of the severest sort, especially in the
series of dense woods scattered about
the salient and also along the rail
road line. Scarcely two hours after
the attack was launched the Germans
started counter attack with three
divisions which however were unable
to stop the American advance. -.
THE American troops adds the
correspondent, showed magnificent
bravery and disregard of danger, while
some of the French regiments went in
to the battle with their colors flying
and the men singing the Marseillaise." :"

Left Railway Intact.
In their taste>to get out of the sal

tary supplies as possible the Germans
left the railroad from Verdun to Com
mercy, Toul and Nancy virtually in
tact. The capture of this line of rail-
way adds greatly to the facility OF
troop movements towards Nerdun

the allies in the past.
In the first few hours of their opera
tion as a distinct unit the Americans
have driven TIE enemy out of some
thirty villages, many strongly fortified
positions prepared during the four
years of their occupation of the salient
and captured more than 10000 prison
ers and large quantities of guns and
other military material. Prisoners are
still coming to the rear and no at
tempt has yet been made to estimate
the quantity of enemy supplies cap
tured
On other fronts the allies continue
their pressure against the German
lines. Cambrai and st. Quentin are in
danger of being outflanked by the
British and French. West of St Quen-
tin French troops have occupied the
village Of Savy and northwest of the
town the British have gained ground
after local fighting with the enemy in
which prisoners were taken. The
British also have made progress south
west Of LaBassee and are pressing
forward on Auchy-Lez-La Bassee. Fur
ther north German attacks on new
British positions at Havrincourt were
repulsed with heavy loss.

to the two great war channels-the Red

what this means in inspiration to them
and self-acquired knowledge which
they could so effectively get in no

member all their lives. I am truly
grateful for the boy scouts.
