 A village near the front lines which the correspondent visited today tells mute tale of Saturdays fighting. There are huge shell holes in the streets and parts of the church and othr buildings have been blown off.
 The enemy fire became so hot here that Salvation Army girls who had been serving coffee and doughnuts to the Americans were forced to leav. The girls protested, saying that they were not afraid of the Germans, and wanted to stay in their dugout, but the officers did not want to take the responsibility. As they left the girls were cheered by soldiers returning from the front lines.

More German Propaganda
Uncovered By Army Officer

Reports reflecting on the character
and behavior Of the American Over
seas Amry are declared to be unjusti-
fled and pro-Gernan by Major John
Price Jackson, Engineers, United
States Reserve. now serving in France.
That such reports have been widely
circulated and that it was considereao
advisable to make them the subject o.
a General Order issued to the Army is
disclosed in a letter which has just
been received from Major Jackson by
the Committee of Public Safety. In
this letter, Major Jackson. who is
State Commissioner of Labor and In
dustry on leave of absence, pays the
highest tribute to American troops. He
says:
II am writing for the purpose of
telling that during the three months |
have been in Europe, | have not seen
a single disorderly or drunken Amer
lean soldier.
81 have seen many thousands of our
boysboys on duty. and off duty. and a
more manly set Of young men of fine
bearing, / never expect to meet I be-
come more ard more proud of our men
as time passes, and am firmly con-
WINGED that history does not record
any army composed of such cleaa men
of high honor and high ideals, as well
as honest purpose, as ours.
Il am sending this to you by reason
of the fact that a General Order was

issued on the subject, indicating that
reports of the opposite kind were
reaching the United States, Such re-
ports are unjustified, and pro-Ger-
man.
"Our commander in chief, amid his
many other strenuous duties, has Civ
en- very careful and wise attention to
the welfare and right living of our
men. The people of the United States
have reason to have full confidence
and pride in our army and its COM
mander in chief. | am sure you will be
able to correct misinformation in
Pennsylvania on this subject, IL any
exists"
Further testimony on the high worth
and calibre of the National Army is
contained in a second letter which the
committee has received from q West
Point Army officer. He writes:
you may take the word of an old
soldier that our National Army is one
of the most wonderful things in this
world. l am NOT pessimist by nature.
but even If had been at the beginning
of this thing, l would be converted
optimist now. The material which this
nation sent to its Nationmi Army, both
for officers and men, is the finest that
anv nation could produce. Let us alb

taught us by the French and English,

show you the finest bunch of fighting
men that the world has ever seen.
I'VE have lots to learn, but we seem
to be an adaptable lot of people. and
we are absorbing this stuff easily and
rapidly. Don't ever listen to any one
who says anything about drafted men
they are just as willing and hard
working and keen as any men could
be.
THE training camps did a remark
able work. and I've never seen a finer
bunch of young Americans. I am proud
Of them, and devoted to them. They
have worked harder in camp than
have ever seen any human beings
work, and naturally have gone up
against q lot of discouraging things
but they are still on the job every
minue."
