ing from the Aisne-Marne battle
front under date of Tuesday evening
the correspondent Of the Wolff Bu-
reau, the semi-official German news
agency, says:
Continuing their attack between
the Aisnc and the Marne the
French for the first time employed
American cannon fodder In compare
lively large numbers as an addition
to their Senegalese auxiliaries
Dense masses of blacks and
Americans were hurled against the
some hundred thousands of killed
Negroes and Americans. In some
places they advanced TO attack siX-
teen waves deep One wave after
the other broke down III the German
artillery and machine gun fire
Next day they renewed their as
sault seven times with gradually
essenlng force
On the third day the American
infantry began TO halt at the first
rush, throwing themselves down as
soon as the German artillery com
menced When the firing continued
they retired rapidly so that at times
their retirement became a hurried
flight
''On many occasions the German
infantry stood up In the trenches and
while standing there received the
Americans with salvos Of rife fire.
''In the attack on July 21, Ameri-
can battalions of the second division
advancing through the ravine OF
Nisconeux were caught IN the FIRE
of German machine guns which
covered the ravine from the sugar
works al Noyant. They imme-
diately turned about and fed.
American casualties on July 10
and July 30, especially officers were
exceptionally severe. Prisoners say

Probably no previous report fror

II is obviously intended to keep the hom
German people from making an advers

One palpable lie. the report that som
hundreds thousand Negroes we're kille
In battle, Is so obviously and purpOsel
untrue that it needs no contradiction
In the first place there are about 22S, 90
Americans on the whole battle line, an
