Americans Suffer First Heavy
Casualties Of War When Foe
Is Routed.
CAPTAIN AMONG KILLED
Raid Made BY Germans l. Complete
/ Failure When They are Beaten
Back-Trenches Strewn
With Enemy Dead.

With the American Army in
France. March A strong German
attack in the salient north of Tout
has been repulsed by American
troops. There were many American
casualties, one OF the killed being a
captain who graduated from West
Point In 1917.
The raid was complete failure,
three German prisoners remaining
in American hands. The ground In
trout Of tie American trenches was
sti9wn with German dead,
A driving wet snow was fallfEs
when the Germans opened fire on
the American salient with every
weapon at their command. Seventy
sevens, heavy shells and gas shells
fell in a perfect whirlwind on the
American trenches for half an hour.
At the same time other enemy shells
in great numbers were dropping on
the American battery positions.
Much Poisonous Gas.
The Germans, evidently thinking
that the Americans in this section,
having had one taste OF gas a few,
days ago, would fear It now, let loose
great quantities OF poisonous gas,
but the men put on their masks and
only few were affected by 1t. So
intense was the fire that the woods
back Of the salient were shot to
pieces.
At 8 o'clock the barrage fire lifted
on the trenches to the right OF the
salient and Germans numbering 240
came sweeping forward under the pro
lection of their IRE. They came for
ward apparently intending to make
big haul, and jumped into wat was
left Of the trenches. but there, instead
Of the easy time anticipated, found
the Americans all ready for battle.
Fierce handtohand lighting began.
American Captain Killed.
One American captain rallied men
with rifles and machine guns and
went through the American wire en-
tanglernents into No Mans Land and
there waited for tho enemy. wnom he
expected to be driven out BY his COM
rades In the trenches. r
He was right, for soon groups Of the
enemy started back through the wire
entanglements. The Americans poured
II . deadly IRE. but unfortunately the
captain was killed during the fight.
He IS the first member OF the 1917
class at West Point to be killed,
Dead 0srmans Ia Trenches.
When the enemy had been driven
back out or the positions the bodies
Of 10 German soldiers were found
IN the American trenches. Two Ger.
man officers we're entangled in the
wiro and many bodies were in sight
Eight were visible through the snow
storm ct one point.
They managed, however, to drop
incendiary bombs In two dugouts
which were destroyed by fire, but no
Americans were IN them. II the Ger
mans captured any prisoners, which
It Il doubtful. there were not more
than two, or three. possibly, from .
listening post. OF the missing, many
probably were buried. Digging for
them now Il proceeding and others
may be accounted for.

NOW CALLED NIcKEL-sILvEB
WeII-known Metal Has Been Relieved
From the obIiquity Of Bearing
German Name.

One of the largest matchmaking
concerns in this country has recently
changed the name of the alloy here
tofore known as German silver, and is
now marketing this commodity as
nickel-silver, and publication devoted
to the metal industry suggests that
the word silver be eliminated entirely
us there is no silver in the combina.
ton. This publication says: IF the
nickel is taken from an 18 per cent
German silver alloy only two and
one brass will remain. Why not then
call the compound 'nickel-brass,' or, II
commercial objections are too strong
to be overcome at once, why not call 1t
nickel alloy? The various contents Of
nickel may be designated by utilizing
the different percentages that the al.
10y contains. Thus, 4, 6, 8, 10, II. Is,
18 per cent, ETC., nickel-alloy. 1t is a
fact that some manufacturers are al.
ready designating the material now
being sold as Sheffield plate as 'sil.
ver-plate on nickel base.' We see
no reason why the same argument
does not apply to the alloy being called
nickel-silver."

Marshall, of the Colorado University
ran across the early files of the
Canon Times, published i'm Canon
City in September 1860. The papers
are the property of Jesse Randall, of

the University. 1t will be of inter
