and plying bayonet and rife. One ma
rine, who was taking back a prisoner,
ran into two German officers and ten
men. He tackled them single handed
with his rifle and bayonet, killed both
the officers and wounded seven of the
men.
Another sergeant was about to take
a prisoner when the German threw
himself on the ground and discharged
his revolver at the American after
calling 'comrade." That settled the
German, for the sergeant shot him as
he did four others who also had sur
rendered but refused to put up their
hands.
Marines Advance
The marines advancing in the Bel
leau wood region went forward in four
waves in open formation. The men in
the first wave were for the most part
armed with rifles and bombs. while the
rear waves were equipped with auto
matte rifles. With them came squads
of machine gunners Juggling their col
lapsible guns. They crossed the open
space and toiled up/the slope bent over
like gnomes. The trenches the marines
passed over were clearly visible from
below but they hardly deserved the
name, for they were simply lines of
little holes, each big enough to hold
man, while barbed wire was lacking.
There were some, however, interlaced
among the trees of Belleau wood but
the marines pushed their way through
it.
Out in the open field artillery officers
with glasses were directing the sup
porting fire while on the roof of
nearby farmhouse a signal man wig
wagged with his red and white flags.
On all sides the guns were flashing.
some of them stationed right out in
the field, while others were hidden in
the wood. Looking down into the
valley only mile away the village of
Bussaires could be seen on fire. As the

clouds of white shrapnel smoke over
the village of Torcy also became
brownish and flames appeared in that

Washington, June 7.-PIatinum,
the subject Of Henry T. Rainey's
sensational speech in the house to-
day, is a mineral so essential that
modern warfare could not be con-
Quoted without it. II is valued at
$175 an ounce. The United States
produces less than I per cent. Of
its platinum supply. The principal
sources are Russia, now closed to
every nation but Germany, and
Colombia, whose relations with the
United States are not the most
cordial.
Explosives cannot be manufac-
tured without sui lphuric and nitric
. acids, which cannot be made with
out platinum.
Nitrogen fixing industries cannot
operate without platinum.
Ignition points in aeroplanes
must be l,ade from platinum.
Great guns cannot be made
without the promoters necessary
in all steel treatments, which are
made from platinum.
I'VE can send 100000 youths
abroad, carefully trained, but with
out platinum they could accom-.
lish nothing" Rainey said. That
group of nations whose supply Of
platinum is inadequate will be
compelled to submit to an inglorl-
Gus peace"
Asserting that facts which he pre-
sented justify the strong suspicion
that the platinum industry of th'
United States has been controlled by
Germany" Representative Henry T
Rainey, of Illinois, today made di
rect attack on the floor on Charlie!
the chief advisor OF the wal
industries board on platinum dealing
The Illinois representative traced En-
glehard's fmily connections with tn,
design of showing that he has very
close German connections. Englehard
according to Rainey, was in absolute
control of four firms handling so pei
cent. of the platinum supplies of the
United States. They were: Baker &
Co.. Newark. n. j.; the American Plat.
mum works, the Irvington Smelling
and Refining company and Charles En-
gelhard.

are in the German army. Although he
came to the United States twenty five
years ago, he was not naturalized until
1906, when Germany was preparing in
so many different ways for her entry
INTO this war"
Rainey declared that the books and
letter files of Charles Engelhard at 30
Church street, New York. are guarded
by the Holmes electric protector.
THE books and papers of the dis
oyal /. w. WIS. were not protected
by such devices" said Rainey. "If
hey had been contained in offices in

protected in this way their seizure by
secret service agents would have been

Rainey d-velt for a moment on the

sums he must have to control the plat
mum business of the United States"
He told of the adventure of repre-
sentative of a commercial agency who
froced his way to Engelhard's inner
office.
"He did not find him there. but did
find there, apparently in control of the
office, a German alien named Won
Ercek, who at that time frequently re-
ceived from unknown sources sums OF
money, usually amounting to s6,O0O

cut of employment because of war con-
ditions. Won Brock now is interned at
Ellis Island"
To show Engelhards connection
with the war industries board, Rainey
produced a copy of a card. signed and
filed by Engelhard. with the New York
Chemists club. 1t contained this quo
tation: 4 am personally with the war
industries board every Tuesday to con-
suit as regards platinum matters

Danish Steamer Picks Up
Two American Aviators
