10 it was launched by the Germans
along the whole front Without re-
gard for men the enemy hurled his
forces against Bouresches and the
Bots de Belleau and sought to win
back what had been taken from Ger
many by the Americans. The orders
were that these positions must be
taken at all costs; that the utmost
losses in men must be endured that
the Bots de Belleau and Bouresches
might not fall again into German
hands
But the depleted lines of the marines
held; the men who had fought on
their nerve alone for days once more
showed the mettle of which they
were made. With their backs to the
trees and powders of the Bots de Bel
Belleau( with their sole shelter the
scattered ruins of Bouresches, the
thinning lines of the marines repealed
the attack and crashed back the new
division which had sought to wrest
the position from them
And so it went. Day after day, night
after night, while time after time
messages like the following Travelled
to the post command:
Losses heavy. Difficult to get run
ners through. Some have never re-
turned Morale excellent, but troops
about all in. Men exhausted"
Exhausted but holding on. And they
continued to hold on in spite of every
difficulty. Advancing their lines slow
ly day by day, the marines finally
prepared their positions to such ar
extent that the last rush for the pos
session Of the wood could be made
Then, on June "a, following a ire
mendous barrage, the struggle began
The barrage literally tore the woods
to pieces, but even it's immensely
could not wipe out all the nests thai
remained, the emplacements thai
were behind almost every c1ump OF
bushes, every jagged, rough group OF
powders. But those who remained
were wiped out by the American
method of the rush and the bayonet
and in the days that followed every
foot of Belleau wood was cleared oa
the enemy and held by the frayed
lines of the Americans.

Sneezina Superstitions.

In Scotland it has been maintetned
that idiots are incapable of sneezing
and the power to do SO has been
deemed evidence of the possession of
certain degree of intelligence. 1t
YVES Flemish belief that sneeze
during conversation for a bargain
proved that what you said was the
truth. The Chinese believe that a
sneeze on New Years eve means bad
luck through the coming year. The
Japanese hold that one sneeze means
that some one is praising you, two
show blame, whereas, if you sneeze
three times, you are merely ill.

At last, their destination reached
early on the morning of June 2, they
disembarked, stiff and tired after a
Journey OF more than seventy-two
miles, but as they formed their lines
and marched onward in the direction
of the line they were to hold they
were determined and cheerful. That
evening the first field message from
the Fourth brigade to Maj Gen. Omar
Bundy, commanding the Second divi-
sion, went forward:
Second battalion, Sixth marines, in
line from LIE Thiolet through Clarem-
bauts woods to Triangle to Lucy. In
structed to hold line. First battalion,
Sixth marines, going into line from
Lucy through Hill 49, Third battal-
ion in support at La Vote du Chatel,
which is also the post command Of
the Sixth marines. Sixth machine
gun battalion distributed at line"
Meanwhile the Fifth regiment was
moving into line, machine guns were
advancing, and the artillery taking
its position. That night the men and
officers of the marines slept in the
open, many of them in a field that
was green with unharvested wheat,
awaiting the time when they should
be summoned to battle The next day
at O'Clock, the afternoon of June 2,
began the battle of Chateau Thierry,
with the Americans holding the line
against the most vicious wedge of the
German advance
The advance of the Germans was

Out of the number that charged, in
more than one instance, only one
would reach the stronghold. There
with his bayOnet as his only weapon
he would either kill or capture the
defenders Of the nest, and then swing

it against the remaining German po-
sitiOns in the forest
Such was the character of the fight
ing in Belleau wood; fighting which
continued until July 6, when after a

billet for regeneration.
Companies had been so torn and
lacerated by losses that they were
hardly platoons; but they held their
lines, and advanced them In more
than one case companies lost every
officer, leaving sergeant and some
times a corporal to command, and the
advance continued. After thirteen
days of this inferno of fire a captured
German officer told with his dying
breath of fresh division of Ger
mans that was about to be thrown in
to the battle to attempt to wrest from
the marines that part of the wood they
had gained
The marines, who for days had been
lighting only on their sheer nerve,
who had been worn out from nights
of sleeplessness, from lack of rations,
from terrific shell and machine gun
fire, Strengthened their lines and pre-
pared for the attack. 1t came-as the
dying German officer had predicted.
