AMERICANS AGAIN
0UTCLASS HUNS
Uncle Sans Troops Make Their
Debut on Battle Field
of Picardy

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. May IA heavy German at
tack launched yesterday against the
Americans in the vicinity of Villiers-Bre-
tonneaux was repulsed with heavy losses
for the enemy. The German preliminary
lasted two hours, and then
the infantry rushed forward. only to be
driven back leaving large numbers of
dead on the ground in front of the Amer
lean lines.
The German bombardment opened at
five O'Clock in the afternoon and was di-
rected especially against the Americans,
who were supported on the north and
south by the French. The fire was tn
tense, and at the end of two hours the
German commander sent forward three
battalions of infantry. There was hand
to-hand fighting all along the line as a
result of which the enemy was thrust
back, his dead and wounded lying on the
groound in all directions. Five prisoners
remained in American hands.
The struggle, which lasted consider
able time, was extremely violent, and
the Americans displayed marked bravery.
II was the first occasion in which the
Americans were engaged in the big bat
tie which has been raging since March
2l, and their French comrades are full
of praise for the manner in which they
conducted themselves under trying cir
cumstances, especially In view of the fact
that they are fighting at one of the most
difficult points on the battle front. The
American losses were rather severe.

Mr.. Hobart, In many respects, was a
generous man and recently when repairs
were made on the church in Middlesex,
It is understood. gave s4Oo to the society
to help In the work. Many believe that

to commit murder. but that he did not
get as much money as he had expected
to find and in making an attempt to secure

tho crime. That IL was a well-Iaid out

been talking with him and at Jerry's re-
quest had exchanged shovels with him.
The body was taken to r. H. Mecorney's
