No FIGHT Lett.

At o'clock-"H hOur"-the fun
started. An American barrage was
dropped on the ground in front of
the American trenches. Then it was
moved forward, smashing any German
machine gunners and guns that might
be found there. The doughboys
marched behind the barrage. They
marched into Vaux with hardly a cas-
ualty. There was not a fight in Vaux.
Not even one puny little scrap. The
few Germans left there came out with
their hands up and begged to be TAX
en- in.
1T was funny" said a dispatch
rider. Il was back with the first
bunch of Boches we caught. and every
time some fresh ones would be
brought in they'd laugh and holler at
them"
Shells fell on the ranks. of course.
But not enough TO really hurt. Brad
ley was there in the tree, and every
time a German gun got really fussy
he would dump some scrap iron on
it and it would cease TO fuss. For a
time they shelled his tree rather hard
and his commanding officer got wor-
ried.
you've done enough" he tele-
phoned to Bradley Come down out
of that tree and come home
Not on your life. said Bradley.

When the Guns Began.

At s o'clock our guns warmed up
TO their work. Bradley still at bat,
thank you, and knocking 'em for a
gool," as the doughboys say. Con
centration really started on the area
back of vaux and the Bois de la Ma
rette. Over at the northeast was the
wood of ROCKETS. which must natural
" be full OF Boches. 1t was filled with
gas. Destructive fire began on the
dugouts and trenches. Vaux is a
mighty pretty little town-Vaux was
