STUBBORN RESISTANCE
 BY THE ENEMY (Continued from page one.)

casualties as the result of the terrible artillery fire of the Americans. Since the Americans appeared on Wednesday the Germans have display. ed stubbornness and skill.
 Getting Down to 'eTacks."-
 sFhey have good positions and are defending them in a manner which would suggest. that they. might even attempt a serious counter attack. The positions of the Americans are perhaps not so good and the contest seems to have narrowed down to one of comparative merits of officers and men of the two organizations.
 Before the day was over the Ger mans had begun to show signs of weakening land observers reported troop movements which appeared to indicate re-grOuping and pedhaps retirement.
 The orders to the Americans were to maintain a harassing fi.'e turnout the day.
 Held Old Positions.
 Over the field the American infan- try remained in the positions they held last night. |. '.
 Dug in behind almost every little rise on the plateau and on the hill side, they awaited the order to attack.
 Closer to the German positions, scores of shell holes sheltered the men from the sweeping machine gun fire, while further to the erar there were companies waiting to be called to their support.
 The artillery went into the action early in the morning not in barrage, but firing first at one point in the German lines and then at another, in accordance with reports indicating places where the Germans were mobi- lizing or where there might be dan ger of concentration. :: A Continuous Fire.
 Rarely, if ever. have the Americans troops delivered over such a period so continuous fire.
 It was of punishing character and must have wrought terrible destruct- ion and probably much demOrilization.
 Lines Are Close.
 The lines are close together, and great shells from the howitzers Were mixed with those of the lighter char acter, while the big long range Ameri- can guns sent far in the rear of the enemy lines shells to places indicated by observers in the aerial service.
 The American infantry between the lines was forced to become part of the action today by the determined Germans, whose long line of machine gun emplacements was supplemented by groups of infantry who fired at every appearance of the Americans.
 It was a day. of sniping for them especially the machine gunners. Their fire did not rise in most cases ten inches above the gronud. |,
 One gunner had the trick of hold ing the trigger until just three shots were fired. :f. All day long the gun gave forth its "tat tat tat,' every burst being fol- lowed by a slight change indication
 A large part of those caught in the ground-sweeping fire were wound ed the leg below the knees. '

 Those who have been under fire have demon strated superbly the qualities that make hght- ers-thev have shown that the barbarous hun IS no match for them.
 Many an American son has gone down has made the supreme sacrifice for his Cour- try and liberty. Before the german horde IS driven back within its own borders, many more American sons will go down. How many, depends upon us at home.
 A small American army, no matter how brave, will inevitably suffer severe casualties gigantic American army will overwhelm the hun and bring quick victory with the least loss of life.
 The lives of our sons are Tn our hands. The boys are ready, willing and eager. They must be trained and equipped. :. No time must be lost It IS up 10 us to provide the money necessary to make these boys invinci- ble We must do 1t and do 1t quickly.
