AMERICANS WIPE
OUT BATTALION
Germans Now Have Their Backs
TO the Aisne.
STIFF RESISTANCE EXPECTED
German Battalion Under Terrific Fire
OF A Protecting American Machine
Detachment In An Elevated
Position.

American Army on the Aisne-Marne
Front.-American machine gunners,
protecting location on the Vesle
west OF Fismes, wiped out an entire
battalion OF German infantrymen and
machine gunners. The Germans, at
the time. were getting into position TO
attack a group OF American bridge
builders, who were approaching the
location.
Some bridge material already had
been moved near the south bank OF
the vesle and the Germans, apparent
ly discovering this fact, had sent a
battalion to hill position to prevent
the Americans from carrying out their
plans. A detachment OF crack Ameri-
can machine gunners, however, pre-
viously had taken an elevated position
commanding the location and opened
fire when the Germans appeared.
Observers reported that they did not
see single German get away from
the leaden hail, and, according to the
last accounts, not even enemy stretch
er-bearers approached the scene. The
Germans replied so feebly with their
fire, because OF the surprise, that there
were no American casualties.
With their back to the Aisne, the
Germans continued preparations for
what may be either stiff resistance
to give them more time for further
withdrawal for definite stand.
The little force OF men who were
sent into Fismes still maintain their
foothold although they are not yet
across the river, which flows through
the extreme northern portion Of the
town
Under a heavy barrage all Of their
wounded have been taken out, and
during the night food was taken to
them.
The Germans have been unremitting
in their efforts to dislodge the Ameri-
cans bounding the town with shells
and deluging 1t with gas.
Numerous efforts have been made
to retake the position, but in every
instance the accuracy Of the Ameri.
can hre, both Of the supporting artil-
lery and the small arms Of the In
fantry with It, drive back the enemy
To the east and west OF Fismes
the Americans have continued their
reconnaissance work, patrols crossing
the river at different places. The de-
tachments, however, never exceeded
more than twenty men.
Near (town deleted) few men have
remained, and another force Is on the
hill over the river near Fismes.
From the German side observers
have reported wagon trains in large
numbers moving over some OF the
roads toward the rear. This is not
construed as conclusive evidence that
the Germans still are in retreat, But
this fact and the further fact that
up to date the Germans have not used
at all extensively any but their small
and medium caliber guns tends to sup
port the belief that the Crown Prince
really intends to make the Aisne the
objective OF his line OF retreat.
The clearing up Of the big field of
retreat has netted in one-half of the
territory advanced over by the Amer
leans alone Is trainloads of ammuni'
ton and general supplies.

Mitchell Not Wanted.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1o-Fred Mitchell
newly elected president of the Chi
cago Cubs, today was definitely de-
MED the right to represent his club at

Mitchell also was refused permits
sion to sit in the directors meetings
which preceded the nagnates' ses-

The directors decided to bar
Mitchell after a stormy session at the
Waldorf Astoria lasting more than an
hour. The ruling was made undc~ the
clause OF the constitution which pro-
viGes that manager or player may
not represent his club at league
meeting. When Mitchell arrived here
last night he announced that his Gin
tract as masager had expired, and
that he was here only in the capacity
of president.

Brisbane Is oxerrated.

Sioux City Journal: Mr.. Brisbane's
reputation has not been enhanced
by the disclosures made by the alien
property custodian and the senate's
investigation. Mr.. Brisbane long has
enjoyed a high rating among GER
tain class of newspaper men, to
whom large salaries are undisputed
evidence of superability. Mr.. Bris-
bane has been drawing fancy sal
airy through Mr.. Hearst's liking for
him. Because of this fancy salary,
more or less extravagant things have
been said about his ability as an edi-
torial writer The Journal does not
admit, however, that Mr.. Hearst's
Judgment or his standards are those
by which the greater American news
papers are governed. 1t believes
that Mr.. Brisbane has been greatly
overrated, that he is not the man of
superability Mr.. Hearst and his shall
low admirers assume him to be. The
present case reveals how far lie is
lacking in devotion to the highest
principles, both in business and in
morals. He has been knocked off
his pedestal Brisbane and Beer have
become synonymous.
