Continued from First Page.)

in touch with the French population
In tho raided area are freely offering
aid and comfort TO the distressed.
That some OF the American hospitals
have not been damaged Is no fault
or the enemy, but Is due TO good for
tune. as the Germans are apparently
dropping their bombs without any
consideration OF military detectives.
The area under bombardment from
the air is that between tho American
front and Paris. and nightly the air
over this district is hummlng with
enemy motors. while the American
and French anti-aircraft guns are
keeping up an almost continuous
barrage.
The marked increase in the enemy
aerial activity has raised the ques-
tion whether IL may not be a prelude
TO new action by the enemy infantry.
Whether or not this be the case. tho
American troops holding the line are
becoming restless and eager for a
chance TO get at the enemy. One hears
frequently the conviction expressed
that IL the numbers are anywhere
near equal the Germans will be given
an unwelcome surprise.
Already the American resourceful-
ness on patrol has caused the Ger
mans considerable alarm. according
TO prisoners. who readily admit that
The Americans have few equals in this
style OF fighting.

HANGARD BATTLE
WON BY SOLDIERS
FROM 81 NATIONS
Ten Latin-American Republics
Represented in French Foreign
Legion That Took Part.

WITH THE FRENCH FORCES IN
THE FIELD. May 20 Omitted Press).
-Fifty-seven nations were represent
ed in the French Foreign Legion
when on March 7s. in one OF the
bloodiest battles Of the German Of
fensive. It retook Hangard Wood.
This action, with the simultaneous
British attack on the left. which re-
suited in reoapturing Villers- Breton
neux, wiped out the progress the Cor
mans made in their second drive
against Amiens.
In this battle Of all nations-the de-
tails OF which only became known
when the Legion was replaced by
American units, and was withdrawn
for repoBe-ten Central and South
American countries were represented
Tho Legion Is now largely recruited
from these Latin American countries'
The nations In this category which
already have declared war against
Germany thus have been enabled TO
contribute immediate military help.
Soldiers from Argentina, Brazil,
Chile. Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia
Uruguay, Peru, Cuba and Mexico ac-
quilted themselves with traditional
legionaire heroism. Gergt. Gelas, who
was wounded four times during the
Legion's capture OF Mort Hommo In
August, received two new and severe
wounds, from which he Is now re-
covering. Capt. Rooines received a
citation for his gailantry.
Following the Leglons capture OF
Hangard Wood and portions Of the
Villers Bretonneux plateau. the Ger
mans launched seven successive
counter-attacks without forcing the
legionaires to finch. despite the lat
ters' extremely heavy losses. Yet
when the battle was over and tho
Legion was ordered withdrawn, every
man insisted on remaining overnight
for the purpose OF crawling out on
the shell-swept battlefield toI ver
the bodies OF their dead. All of the
bodies were thus found and carried
on
AS a result of this battle. the Le-
glon. which already has six citations
emitting each member to wear the
red "fourragere" of the Legion OF
Honor, is assured a seventh. No other
French unit has ever attained such
an honor.
Only three men from the United
States still remain in the Legion. All
are expert machine gunners and each
has the French War Cross. They
are now awaiting transfer to the Am
erican Army.
Among the other natlonalities
which participated in the great battle
are Canadians. Filipinos. Japanese
Armenians. Russians. Luxemburgers
Spanish. Italians and Swiss. The
three latter comprise many contin-
gents In the Legion. All OF the Poles
and Czechs recently were transferred
90 their own separate armies and now
are fighting on the French front.
