Ran in Their Eagerness

The Americans paused for a mo-
ment while the automatic rifles and
naachine guns with the advancing
troops fought a duel in front of
Vaux, briefly, but effectively, with
the enemy.
Then the Americans, whose num-
ber was considerable, went on, most
of them cunning in their eagerness
to get at close quarters with the
Germans. At the same time the
Boche began hurting gas shells into
tie rear of the American lines.
Within a brief time the Ameri-
cans had wrested from the enemy
the Bois des ROCKETS and the woods
adjoining it. Then came word that
the Americans were in Vaux, and,
finally, after sharp fighting there in
the streets and houses, the Ameri-
cans overcame all resistance and
swept on beyond the village.

looms, while others were combing
the skies to keep off enemy ma
chimes.
Early this morning the American
pilots again appeared for similar
duty and were soon found contest
ing with the enemy for supremacy
in the air. A number of aerial bat
ties were observed, but reports on
the results are not yet available.
1t was exactly o'clock last even
ing when the Americans went over
the top, under the protection of a
hail Of machine gun bullets from
our machine gun barrages. The in
tantry action was preceded by
short but terrific artillery prepara
ton. When the Germans saw that
(. formidable attack was developing
many of those in outposts yelled and
ran toward the rear to nests from
which not fire began pouring.

Military Comment
By William l.. Mcpherson

IA n ANY little offensives don't
N make big offensive. They
distribute risks and bring
only scattered returns. In war the
real coups are made when all the
eggs are put in one basket.
But if there can be no big offen-
sive-and that is out Of the question
just now for the Allies-a series Of
little offensives is the mex, best
thing. They try out the enemy and
hamper him in his concentrations
fo.' new blow. It is dangerous to
strip to thinness the lines in what
are intended to be inactive sectors
when the main blow comes, if an
alert opponent is persistently seek
ing information and feeling for
weak spots.
General Foch seems to have found
a reduced German holding force or
one part of the present line in
France. That is the west leg of the
Aisne- Marine salient, extending
south from the neighborhood of
Fontenoy, on the Aisne, to Chateau
Thierry, on the Marne
Here for nearly a week past the
Allies have been pushing the Ger
mans back, now north of the Ourcq
River, now south of it. There was
a successful French drive last Fri
day, to the north and northeast OF
the Forest Of Villers- -Cotterets. A
mile and quarter was gained on n
four a-half-mile front. On Sun
day the attack was shifted further
south. A gain of half a mile was
made on a two-mile front between
Troesnes, on the Ourcq, and Passy-
en-Valois. On Monday the French
advanced on a fve-mile front from
Passy- Valois down to the Clignon
River.
Yesterday the Americans in the
Chateau Thierry sector took hand
in the offensive Operating in con-
junction with French troops, they
seized the heights west of Vaux,
captured that town and pushed on
into the ROCKETS Wood, which lies
north of Naux and east-southeast Of
Boureschcs. Our forces stormed
Bouresches a couple of weeks ago.
A gain Of more than a mile is indi-
Gated. About 500 prisoners were
taken by the American contingent.
The advance made on this sector
is important because it puts the Al
lies in possession of commanding
positions northwest Of Chateau
Thierry. The German hold on that
town and on the north bank Of tho
Marne in that vicinity is greatly
weakened. A few more such thrusts
and Chateau Thierry will have to be
relinquished by the enemy.
The French yesterday reoccupied
st. Pierre Aigle, after spirited ac-
tion. This town is a point Of some
strategical consequence-at the
northeastern tip Of the Forest G..
Villers-CotteretS.
The Italians also continued their
"nibbling" operations on the noun
tain front. Yesterday they shifted
their attack further east-to the
neighborhood of Monte Grappa.
Nearly COO prisoners We're taken in
a sharp assault northwest Of that
mountain. This is the sector cast
OF the Brenta River. The Asiago
Plateau, the scene Of the successful
Italian attacks Of Sunday and Mon
day, lies just west of the Brenta.
The Austro- Hungarian forces on
the mountain front are still techni
cally in position to renew their of
fensive. But they lack the offensive

vance of the line, but on it from a
technical point of view, American
soldiers this afternoon let their COM
rades know where they were when
one of the party leaned over the lip
Of the crater and waved his helmet.
Reports from the advanced front,
brought back through heavy enc
my barrage, confirmed the state
ment that the Americans have
reached every objective and are
holding every point.
The attack was so terrific that the
Americans swept right through the
enemy lines, and had their object
heen to continue the advance they
could have done so with the great
est ease, as virtually everything
before them had been cleared SO
great was the enthusiasm of the
men, the officers in some cases had
to look sharp to keep them from
going beyond the set objectives.
1t is not improbable that the
Germans are planning another coun-
ter attack for the coming dark
hours, but preparations have been
made to meet them.
"A vast quantity of material, con-
sidering the size of the operation, is
being taken to the rear, but proba-
bly, will not be tabulated for several
days.
In the fighting west Of Vaux our
troops stormed several enemy nests
and killed or captured the occu-
pants; then turned the guns the
other way, using them effectively
against the enemy rear areas.
Many groups of prisoners have
been sent 10 the rear. Others have
been located in hospitals, where they
were taken after being wounded.

Glad To Be Captured

The prisoners say they marched
for three hours as fast as they could
when word reached the commander
of an enemy battalion in the rear of
Vaux, which town is on the right Of
the American attack. Observers
reported this morning that the Ger
mans were apparently hurrying up
reinforcements behind their line.
All the prisoners questioned ex-
pressed their relief at being capt
lred. One, speaking excellent Eng
ish, said to the correspondent:
"Thank the Lord, Pm out Of
there. The American artillery
smothered us more than once and
the infantrymen fight like wild
devils without a single fear, but
when the fight is finished they are
gentlemen. One could have killed
me, but did not, and I gave him my
Iron Cross for my thanks"
The German counter attack,
which was fiercely conducted, was
launched against the American po-
sitions at 5 o'clock this morning. 1t
resulted in the Americans further
increasing their number Of prison
ers. Virtually the rest Of the enemy
attacking force was annihilated.

PEYTON C. MARCH
and Gen. BLISS
TO Be PROMOTED
Chief of Staff in United States
Will Outrank General
Pershing.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-Maj-
Gen. Peyton c. March will become the
highest ranking officer Of the United
States army when President Wilson
approves two recommendations SUBJ
mitted to him by Secretary of War
Baker. The recommendations are:
That Gen. March, who is now acting
chief OF staff. shall be promoted to
the rank of general and appointed
chief Of staff.
That Gen. Tasker II. Bliss. now hold
ing the title OF chief Of staff, but not
actively engaged shall be appointed
brevet general and retained as perma-
nent American military representative
on the Versailles conference.
Under the law there can be only two
officers holding the rank of full gen.
eral, the chief of staff and the COM
handing officer of the American ex-
peditionary force. 1t was desired 70
place Gen. Bliss on equality with Of
ficers with whom he is associated on
the Versailles war conference.
Avoid Chance Of Tanqle.
When Gen. March was brought back
cry In France to head-the staff he was
chief" Gen. Bliss retaining the title OF
chief Of staff. While Gen. Bliss never
has attempted to make use of the
power he held while retaining the title
Of chief, there have been numerous
embarrassing incidents arising from
the fact that Gen. MARGINS authority
was delegated to him, and from the
further fact that, as one of the newest
major generals, he was ranked by
scores OF officers to whom it was
necessary in line Of duty to give or
ders.
When Secretary Baker was in
France the question came up as to
precedence between Gems. Bliss and
Pershing 1t was then decided that
the chief of staff was the ranking Of
ficer. The promotion of Gen. March
TO this rank and title will make him
Pershing's superior officer, although
Pershing ranks him In seniority.
More to Be Promoted.
Promotion of one or more officers
now holding the rank Of major gen.
eral to be lieutenant generals is ex-
pected as soon as arrangements are
completed for the organization of army
corps in France.
The law provides that there shall
be two generals, one in Washington
and one in the field, and lieutenant
generals commanding field armies and
army corps. All these officers revert
to their rank in the regular establish
ment when they relinquish their posts,
the rank attaching to the command
and not to the individual.
The president today raised Brig.
Gen. Frank w. Coe to the rank OF
major general and asked the senate
to name him chief Of coast artillery.
Brig. Gen. John d. Barrette, national
army, was nominated for brigadier
general in the regular army.

Americans
Know a
Good Thing
Trust the People to Find Out
What Is Good for Them

All over the country folks are learn
Ing that after the long hard winters
pull, lack of green food and fresh air,
they are usually run down, have no
appetite, are nervous and in bad shape
generally.
Spring to them is a season to be
dreaded, their thin, watery, poisoned,
clogged blood and weak nerves robs
them of all ambition or desire to work
and takes the pleasure out of life.
For such men and women doctors
are recommending Phosphated Iron
which goes to the very roots of all
blood impurities and nervous troubles.
They claim it helps purify the blood
by making it over anew, while the
way it relieves tired. tagged out nerves
is almost too good to be true.
The confidence that the American
people and prominent doctors have
shown in Phosphated Iron, while re-
markable, is not surprising, as it is
one OF those honest preparations that
never disappoints. AS a man said in
recommending to his neighbor, Its
results that count, and you can bank
on Phosphated Iron, it is the goods
everyone that tries it is a booster, it
sure did put me on my feet when l

Every man. woman and child that
has thin, watery. impure blood, no
strength, or appetite, weak nerves
and is all played out generally, can
come back strong, be live one once
again, enjoy restful sleep and get up
facing the world with a smile II they

blood and nerve builder.
