The deer came through the winter
well. although the winter was unusual

the fact that the deep snow kept them
closely confined, when not molested, 50
that they did not run their fat of, al

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Thursday, by The Associat

this morning attacked an enemy patrol
of about 40 men some of whom had
stealthily entered an advance Ameri
can trench. He drove them off, killing
the leaders and wounding others. The
sentry saw the patrol advancing and
looked on as the Germans began tc
drop cautiously into the trench. He
knew that an American patrol was
out along the wire not far away and
counted upon its help after he opened
fire. There were four men in the
American patrol.
By the time FIVE Germans had en-.
tered the trench the sentry thought he
should delay no longer especially as
the under officer who was leading the
Germans had approached within few
yards of him. The sentry opened fire
rapidly without challenging.
The German leader fell at the first
crack of the rife. The others in the
trench hurriedly sought protection. but
