CAVALRY CHARGE
WITH THEIR SABERS
Americans Fight as Dismounted Light
Infantry in hopping up Boches.

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Sept. l5.-American
cavalry detachments charged with
their sabers and fought as dismounted
infantry in hopping up the final Boche
resistance of Bots Vigneuilles and in
the forest La Montague.
First the troopers swept through the
scattered ranks of the enemy, slash
ing right and left with their sabres.
When they approached the enemy de-
Tense lines near Cation Chatel, the
order was given to dismount. Attic
under fire the cavalrymen coolly re-
turned their sabres to the scabbards
unslung their carbines and fell into
light infantry formation. Every fourth
man took the horses of the three who
dismounted and held them while the
advance on foot was made. AS soon
as the defense had been smashed, the
troopers galloped forward with the
horses, the men on foot remounted anG
charged with their sabres again. They
swept through the Boise Nonord, q
pleasure park with well-made roads
and equestrian paths gymnasiums
bowling alleys, and even a quarter
mile board cycle track.
From prisoners taken by the Amer
leans it has been learned that the Ger
mans forced the Poles to strengthen
the Hindenburg line in the regions Of
Dempevitoux and Dommartin, north,
east of Vigneuilles.
In the vicinity of Thiaucourt tht
Americans yesterday captured an en-
tire German hospital. The German
surgeons, nurses and orderlies re
NAMED on duty, taking care of theil
own wounded as well as the wounded
Americans.
An American dressing station wa
soon rushed up and established in tn
captured German hospital. The Ger
man and American surgeons, nurse
and orderlies worked together carinj
for the wounded of friend and foe.
The Germans gratefully accepted
serums and toxins from the American
Later when German artillery shelle
the hospital and vicinity, the German
doctors joined with the Americans il
criticising the act.
Three German officers at st. Mihie
committed suicide Tuesday mornin
i when they received orders to retreat
! At first the German commander az
cused the families housing the off
