PHlLADELPHIAN FIRST
in CHATEAU U-THIERRY
Lieut.. John E. Nolan, Former
Newspaper Man, Writes
of Stiff Fight

~ The first American officer to enter
Chateau-Thierry when it was recap
tured by United States troops was IA
former Philadelphia newspaperman.
Lieutenant John E. Nolan, 43s West
Woodlawn avenue, Germantown, who
has written letter to friends here de-
scribing the fighting. Lieutenant Nolan
formerly was a reporter for the Public
Ledger
While in Philadelphia. he made his
home with an uncle and aunt. Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Howard, at the Woodlawn
the football squad when he attended
the University of Pennsylvania,
"Some Germans may throw down
their arms and yell Kamerad' when they
get in tight place. but not the Prus-
sian Guard" said Lieutenant Nolan in
his letter Those Prussian Guards
fought like tigers. They stood up like
men, killing and being Killed, until they
were wiped out. If our boys had not
been as quick, as well trained and as
lost out.
II would like to wiring the necks of
those war correspondents who have been
writing this 'Kamerad' stuff. 1t fooled
our boys for a while, everybody expect
ing the boches to beat it when we
charged down on them. Maybe some of
the weaker units do this But there is
nothing to II as far as we are concerned.
Any Idea that we are having a walkover
Is the biggest kind of mistake. The
majority of our men seem able to think
a bit quicker than the Germans and
that helps us to get by.
THE Germans we have met have
proved themselves brave, well-trained.
and are certainly wefl-equipped. They
made things mighty hot for us. There
were only two officers of my battalion
on their feet after we had won Chateau
Thierry. A number of them had been
killed and thirteen had been severely
wounded. / commanded the remnants
of the battalion on the march back to
the rest camp and !, as you know, am
only a first lieutenant The other ON
Ger able to keep on the job was a
second lieutenant He was slightly
wounded in several places but nothing
serious. came through without a
scratch"

OPPOSES new CENSUS BILL
Senate Committee Told 1t Would
Be National Disgrace"

Washington, Sept. 10 (By l. y. So
The passage of the census bill in its
present form would be a national dis
grace" william d. Foulke. Of Rich
mond. Ind, told the Senate Census Com
mittee today, He bitterly assailed that
section of the law that would suspend
the civil service in the case of census
employees
Past experience shows beyond a
doubt that the grossest abuses and
frauds and inaccuracies, corruption and
extrayagance have followed every ex-
emption of census employees from the
provisions of the civil service law
Foulke said. The present bill in many
respects is more Objectionable than any
previous bill. There is no legitimate
reason for appointing employees under
this bill without civil service examina-
tion because the civil service commission
says 1t is ready TO fill the places by
examination and the President has
authority to suspend the civil service in
case of emergency"

fought against terrible odds in Fismette
on August .27 was revealed for the first
time today in a dispatch from the front
by Raymond G. Carroll, special corre-
spondent of the Public Ledger with the
American Expedtionary Forces.
The first details of the fight by the
handful CT Americans who held up a
German counter-attack were CLEANED by
intelligence officers from Lieutenant
Horst Lutz, a captured German officer.
Lutz's recital demonstrated that Lieu
tenant Benjamin Il. Turner. of Chicago,
leader of the Americans, stuck to his
post with all the courage and resource

tan hero who held the pass of Their
mopylae against the Persian hordes.

Turner a modest ex-sergeant of the
army, who won his commission only ii
month ago, still lives. He has wife
