troops are concerned. Here in an at
tack they captured their first village
-Cantiany, which lies short dis
lance northwest of Montdidier. They
also took several other detectives,
and held all of them in the face OF
counter-sttacks. The Germans suf-
fered severe losses in men killed or
wounded, and in addition left be-
hind them 200 men made prisoner,
among them two officers. The
American casualties were very
small. The German official report
announces the taking Of American
prisoners. The report from Ameri-
can headquarters, however, shows
only two Americans missing, one in
Picardy and the other in the lune-
willie sector.
Likewise, southwest of ,Ypres the
enemy received hard usage at the
hands of the British and French
