ahle-Americans Empty KNAPP
sacks to Feed Civilians.

With the American Army on the
Marne, July 24.-Even anti-aireraft
guns were called into use IL pursuing
the Germans in their flight from the
Marue.
As the Germans retreated, French
field guns mounted on automobiles
dashed up and down the roads, sprink.
ling the retiring enemy with shrapnel.
Every availaihe piece of artillery was
used. The high-ange guns were EN-
ployed chiefly because of their great
mobility.
The enemy abandoned quantities. Of
supplies and ammunition in their hur-
ried retreat. They left behind seven
light machine guns, automatic rifles
and other equipment.
With marvellous rapidity the French
and American batteries were pulled
from their emplaeements and rushed
forward, shelling the fugltives ac-
cording to directions wirelessed from
airplanes,
The Americans used the steel
bridges which the Germans had en-
placed over the Marne In Mondays
offensive to get their field guns
across to the northern bank.
Mounted troops were sent dashlng
northward, while long-range guns
began to rumble, throwing q steady
stream of shells against Fere-en-
Tardenois and Ville-en-Tardenois
Few German prisoners were re-
ported In the initial stage of the
German retreat from the Marne
However. many wounded Germans
were found abandoned In the Chateau
Thierry hospital Most of them had
been gassed. A few wounded French
from the June battle, and also a cou-
pie of wounded Americans from the
Bouresches fighting, were found.
Chateau Thierry had suffered badly
from artillery fire when the French,
Americans and Germans fought four
days for the city early in June, but
the Germans had forced the civilians
to clean up the debris and build bar
ricades in the squares and streets.
The Germans had sacked the
h"usSS' tuiIyluS oil everything OF
value that was portable. But 1t was
difficult to ascertain what was wanton
damage and what was the effect OF
she'll fire.
The soldiers emptied their KNAPP
sacks TO feed the civilians and were
greatly embarrassed when embraced
and kissed by aged men and women
The delight Of these old people at
the sight of their American deliver
ers was pltiable TO behold.

gas caused the scare.
In a dining room at Thirteenth and
E5streets crowded with Sunday even
ing diners a near panic resulted from
the first explosion. Terri1ed women,
running to the street, found that a
plate from the base of the electric
light pole at the northwest corner of
Thirteenth and f streets had blown
into the air. completely severing q
flag pole at 1901 E street.
No sooner had the fears OF persons
near by been Gained than 4 manhole
within fifteen feet OF the electric
light pole also blew of. The manhole
cover was lifted about twenty feet.
The explosions. according to the
fire department. were caused by sewer
gas which had accumulated in the
conduit because of a seal Of Ice over
the manhoIe. The first explosion re
suited when gas followed the course
of the feed wires into tho light pole
Finding no other outlet, II broke loos'
the plate at the base. When sufficient
gas had again accumulated the man
