Washington Thinks German Offensive
Stronger Than Before, But
Is Sanguine.

With the American Army In France.
Further details received at head
quarters of the engagement around
Seicheprey show that the American
troops were outnumbered In some in
stances eight TO one
More of the American wounded have
been found, one of whom was buried
live for three days and had been
tramped over by the enemy, when he
had crawlcd to the surface, in the be-
lief that he was dead. The American
casualties are considerably less than
the first estimates.
When the complete story of this en-
gagement is told the bravery of the
regimental chaplains will be one Of
the outstanding features. One of them,
Father William ] Farrell of West
Newton, Mass, went TO the assistance
of battery when four Of the Amerl-
can gunners were killed and carried
up ammunition and helped to keep the
gun working all night.
Father Farrell was injured, but re-
fused to have his wound dressed until
he had carried Myron Dickinson, aged
nineteen, of Bridgeport, Conn, one Of
his wounded comrades, TO dugOut
dressing station.

the Franco American front, confirming
the impression here that some part Of
