In the American trenches in
France. April 9 tControle Americain)
II have just come through the most
thrilling experience of my life.
Mingling and touching shoulders
with u American troops in thetT first
line trenches. i have seen them shat
to a brilliant conclusion" the biggest
military operation yet attempted by
the American army in France.
. 1t will always be one of, my most
cherished memories that I was
privileged, to observe with my own
eyes the behavior Of American troops
in their first big "acid test" !.
that many of the boys whom ! babe
Godspeed as they went over the top
with their bayonets fixed are lads I've
known since" They wore knee trousers.
Will the American army in France
make good? Is the American soldier
destined to outstrip the fighters OF all
other nations in GOODNESS, dash and
bravery?
The answer is to 'bc found in the
simple narrative I'm going TO give OF
what ! heard and saw. &.
For some time "a German salient
opposite a part OF the American front
had been a source Of constant danger
and annoyance to our troops. The 10
cation Of the salient was such that II
afforded unusual opportunities for
hidden snipers and machine gunners,
who had, for days, been popping
away at every American head thai
showed itself above the top Of the
trenches.
It was. decided that the salient mus
be wiped out.
So great was the pressure from Of
fcers and mel of all the units COM
prising the regiments designated to
make the attack, that it vas thought
best to permit every company to con-

our artillery. hidden in woods and
>gullies and under camoufage behind
our lines, opened UP. AT first the fir.
ing was desultory, but as the German
guns began to reply, our own in
creased the intensity of their fire. un-
til there was nothing but one 1ong
deafening roar, louder, from time to
time, as the biggest calibres sent theft

1 thought I had seer violent bonn
bardments in front of Dixmude, up
in Belgium, last fall. when in the
course of a single day 1900 shells
were eXchanged;, but that firing was
nothing in intensity to what l wit
messed on the American front.
In the small space of 80 minutes,
during the battle, u scores of guns
poured more than 10000 shells into
those German trenches and strong
holds. And the fire was kept up,
without a seconds pause for more
than four hours!
In u trenches. the initial nervous
ness ofSouf men o wore away, and
they settled down to their jobs with
the seriousness of veterans. Then it
