WITH THE BRITISH ARMY AT
THE FRONT, September l delay
ed American forces went into bat
tie with their British comrades on
either side at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning on a front of 1000 yards in
Belgium, over classic ground south OF
Ypres.
With the British who occupied
KENNEL hill the Americans advanced
to the rear of KENNEL, fighting the
rear guards Of the Germans and cap
turing the villages Of Voormezeele and
Grote Vierstraat. Early reports
showed that they had progressed
about mile and had taken prisoners
in good proportion to their casualties.
One unit identified three different
enemy organizations.
Crush Machine Gun Resistance.
Since then the Americans, some of
whom in the excitement of the chase
advanced beyond the detectives as
signed to them, have met and sus-
tanned in good fashion strong enemy
holding all their detectives. In fol-
Lowing the enemy the Americans en-
countered considerable machine gun
resistance at the Vierstraat railway
crossing and Eisenhalt,. but over
came it.
To avoid giving information to the
enemy it is necessary to be somewhat
vague about the operations. which it
tail later. The Americans arrived in

ceived and dubbed the baby" He

He was on patrol near the American
lines and was wearing nice new uni
form. He did not seem disturbed by
him was very proud of him for, being
the first. he seemed like 1000 instead
Of just one.
Prisoners taken yesterday whom I
saw in the American cage today were
interesting. An American intelligence
officer after seeing that they were
properly fed asked several Of them
if they would not now like to re-
turn to their own lines, but the Ger
mans without exception replied that
they did not. They did not want to
return to Germany at all. They said
they would like to. visit their parents
after the war, but not to stay. All
seemed willing to give information,
except for the possibility of mistreat-
ment after the war.
One of them who was badly wound
ed and was examined in the lines said
very bluntly:
'"rhe powers higher up should go
to hell"
None of the prisoners had any
knowledge of the British drives to
the eastward. Their estimate of the
Americans in France ranged from
100, 900 to 100000. The prisoners said
that the Bavarians, like themselves.
are much disgruntled and sick Of the
war.
1t was learned from the prisoners
that German machine gunners who
are left behind to protect the retreat
until they are killed or surrender
are all armed with carbines now, and
that two of each eight are provided
with new type of automatic pistols.
1t is a self-loader and fires thirty
eight shots. All the prisoners had
a gray pallor caused by i'll feeding.
One of them was particularly de-
lighted to be captured and the ele-
ment which took him was equally en-
thusiastic.
