BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN

of Americans who had been holding
out since Sunday in a far advanced
position between Cambria and st.
Quentin against greatly superior en-
envy numbers have been rescued.
In our attacks around Venduiel

through and relieve this party, num-
bered some hundreds, who, having
taken up their position Sunday night,
were surrounded by the Germans
early Monday.
Notwithstanding that they were
opposed by such superior numbers
and only possessed the ammunition
and rations which they themselves
were carrying, the Americans made
a magnificent resistance and the
ground was strewn with German
dead.

AS there is never much news leaks
out from this little place, I will try

Of running his little Ford. He could
not help it, you know.
Everybody had a great time Satur-
