With the American Army in France,
Thursday, March A lone American
sentry tins morning attacked an enemy
patrol of about 40 men, some of whom
had stcalthily entered an advanced
American trench He drove them of
killing the leader and woundlng others
The first reports Of the encounter were
that another raid had taken place and
all along the line details were being
awaited eagerly But investigation
showed that one American started what

this man is mentioned IN all reports of

The sentry opened fire rapidly with

fell at the first crack of the rifle The
others in the trench nurriedly sought
protection, but they were not vuick

helped TO speed the Germans on their
way by hurting large number Of hand
