Pickens Boys May
Be In Big Battle

After months preparation the Ger
mans began terrific attack on the al"
lies along a fifty mile front Monday
morning. Preparations indicated that
it would be the hardest offensive yet
launched by the Huns, but dispatches
Tuesday state that the first days bat
tie was favorable to the allies.
1t seems that the fercest attack was
made against the section held by Amer
lean troops and the best troops of the
German army are being used against
the Americans. The Germans advanced
slightly at first, but our boys soon not
only stopped them, but threw them
back and captured l,5O0 prisoners.
Tuesdays dispatches are full of praise
for American soldiers who seem to be
proving more than match for the
Germans.
The big battle is still raging and it is
more than likely that the 30th division,
in which are many Pickens county boys,
will be used in it,
