Overcome Stiff Enemy Resistance With
Their Bayonets and Supply
of Grenades.

Of the New York World, and Ger
an-Hebrew-American named Rap
port, cleaned up the principal street
in st. Juvin (just north of the Aire, II
miles west Of the Meuse) single-hand-
ed, overcoming stiff enemy resistance
with their bayonets and goodly sup
ply of grenades.
McLenahan worked his way forward
along one side Of the street, and Rap
port on the other. Heavy sniping from
a window forced McLenahan to cease
operations and seek cover whereupon
Rapport crept to the window and plas-
tered grenade through it.
A German noncommissioned officer
followed by 95 other Germans emerged
with uplifted hands, shouting 'kame-
rad"
The two New Workers proudly

PRESIDENT MAKES REPLY
AUSTRIAN NOTE RECEIVED
PLAY BALL IN PARIS
Practice in Most Exclusive Street
of City.
Crowd Gathers to See, to Them, the
Amazing Performance-Army
Officer Haits.

Paris, Oct. 21.-Two cannon drivers
in American khaki, waiting for their
cars to take a load from an American
Red Cross office which happened to be
moving its quarters climbed down
from their cars, dug two gloves and
baseball from some hidden recess un-
der the seats and began to toss each
other high ones.
This occurred on the Rue King
George V, a street of exclusive and Sc
date mansions just off the Champs
Elysee, comparable to Chicago's North
Shore drive.
A crowd gathered. Grocers' boys
pushing tiny cars paused to admire the
dexterity Of the-t lanky Ameri-
cans; nurses bound with their charges
to the leafy avenues Of the Elysee
halted them to watch the backward
and forward flights of the ball.
A French army officer whose gen.
erous spade beard nearly covered the
medals of honor on his blue tunic
stared little incredulously at first,
then slowed his pace to join the fringe
OF spectators. Perhaps there were SO
watchers In all.

All Dirty Work.

The Hague, Oct. 21.-An American,
who was recently captured on the west
front and whose body was full of
shrapnel, was examined by a doctor

ing by thousands of disease and starva-

HUNS PLUMBER CITY OF LILLE

French Are Determined to Wreak Ven
geance on German Commanders.
Paris, Oct. 21.-The city Of Lille, 1t
is now established, was plundered by
the Germans prior to their evacuat Ton.
Though the town was not destroyed
like Cambria, Lens and other cities,
Lille represents another count in the
deadly French determination to wreak
vengeance upon the individual German
commanders after the war.
It is impossible to OveremphasiZe
the growing frenzy of the French cry,
'Town for town, village for village!"
now that victory Is assured. L'Echo
de Paris solemnly warns the German
under-officers that they had better pre-
serve the orders from their superiors
commanding them to plunder end burn
the evacuated towns, for these orders,
the paper says, will be their only ali
bis when the reckoning is taken.

FIERCE BATTLE BY YANKEES
Americans Push Germane Back Three
Miles in Rain.

Miles in Rain.
With the American First Army,
Oct. 21.-Pushing northward amid a
drizzling rain in all-day fighting, we
nibbled off the Bois des Rappes and
Bois Claibechene, west Of Bantheville,
while other American elements,
through the ferces fighting, progressed
slightly northwest of Bantheville in
the thick woods in that region, nearly
reaching the next German line of de-
fense, the strong "Frey" position.
1t is reported a single American pIa-
toon cleaned up Clairbechene wood,
which has a triangular shape, and
whose position on a slope is especially
difficult
Thus we have driven the Germans
back everywhere along a three-mile
front from the woods forming the out
er defenses of the "freya stellung."
We must now cross a fiat, open plain
for several hundred meters, swept by
the enemy machine gunners.

loss of women and children In sink
lngs by submarines.
She denies President Wilson's
charges regarding cruelties and wan
ton destruction in northern France
and Belgium.
The staff correspondent feels con-
strained to emphasize that the fore
going, up to the present hour. remains
unconfirmed, and that in responsible
quarters here considerable doubt Is
entertained regarding it's authenticity.
The report may have been sent out
merely as "feeler," such as VIII
