| Thierry lies on both banks of the Marne
which is spanned by a big bridge.
"The Americans had scarcely reached
their quarters when news was received
that the Germans had broken into the
northern part of Chateau Thierry, having
made their way through the gap they
had driven in our lines to the left of the
town and then pouring along the streets
to the bridge, intending to establish
themselves firmly on the southern bank
and capture the town.
"The American machine gunners and
the French colonials were thrown into
Chateau Thierry together. The Ameri-
cans Immediately took over the defense
of the river bank. especially the APP
proaches to the bridge. Fighting with
their habitual courage and using their
guns with an accuracy which won the
highest encomiums from the French, they
brought the enemy to standstill.
Already wavering under the American
fire, the Germans were counter attacked
by the French colonials and driven from
the town. They returned to the attack
the next night and under cover Of dark
ness crept into the town along the river
bank and began to work their way in
through the streets toward the main
bridge. At the same moment a tremen
dous artillery bombardment was opened
on the southern half of the town.
when within range of the machine
guns, the Germans advanced under the
cover of thick white smoke from smoke
bombs, in order to battle the aim Of the
American guiiners. A surprise, however,
was IN store for the Germans. They were
already crossing the bridge, evidently be-
lieving themselves masters of both the |
banks, when a thunderous explosion blew |
the center of the bridge and number Of |
Germans with it into the river. Those |
who reached the southern bank were i'm
mediately captured.
I'm this battle in the streets, and again /
at night, the young American soldiers
showed a courage and determination that
aroused the admiration of their French
colonial comrades. With their machine
yuns they covered the withdrawal OF the
.roops across the bridge before its de-
,truction, and although under severe fire
themselves they kept all the approaches
o the bank under rain of bullets which
lullified all the subsequent efforts OF the
nemy to cross the river. Every attempt
# the German to elude the vigilance of
he Americans resulted in destruction to
limself.n

Children Show Poets Can
Be Made as Well as Born

Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. Is. -
Every child's mind is garden OF
verse.
A garden seeded with romance, ready
to flower in poetry, song and all man
ner Of loneliness If properly cultivated,
and as quick to wither under rdtcule
ard neglect.
Il is this normal bent for the beau
tiful and rythmic in childhood which
is being fostered and intelligently d.
rected in an important experiment AZ
the University Of Utah.
Poets are not only born, but can
also be made, is the contention
To carry out it's experiment the
|university's preparatory department
has organized classes for laurel aspir-
ants the rhymsters ranging from 3
to IL years.
An excellent average Of juvenile
verse, with some expressions OF rare
talent has been the result
The children choose subject in
which they are deeply interested and
then proceed to conjure the muses.,
with the instructors helping perfect
the rhyme and rythm.
To inspire an appreciation OF the
concern Of arts, their verse Is set to
music by the youngsters and played
at school, the teachers discussing with
the children the kind Of music best
suited to the poetic, efforts--gay. lively,
heavy, soft or SLOW -. an
The response of the children and
their esthetic development. has not only
elated but profoundly impressed the
directing heads VI the University OF
Utah. " w. >:.,p,.rit.
. Even boys and girls who seemed In
the beginning hopelessly dull and in
articulate have developed remarkable
to the call OF beauty. And many dis
cordant little life has been returned to
harmony.
"By keeping down the weeds in a
child's mind, and by drawing out and
cultivating the natural bent to versify."
said one OF the instructors, I'VE are
stimulating the creative side OF his ma
ture, planting the seeds OF esthetic de-
lights and fitting the impressionable
nature to soar instead Of to plOd.
