ed at that until the 14th. Then
the French-and such brainy leaders
they have-made raid for the pur-
poses Of getting prisoners and infor-
nation which had a tremendous Ell
feet upon the whole course of the
war. For the prisoners they brought
in came through with everything
they knew and gave General Gour-
aud's staff the news that at midnight
the boche artillery preparation was
to begin.
This was what General Gouraud
Pa Gouraud we called him-did
He knew the boche artillery would
at the appointed hour start firing on
our front lines, believing as was
natural that they would be strongly
held. So he withdrew all his forces,
including the old Fifteenth, to the
intermediate positions which were at
a safe distance back of the front lines.
Then, at the point which he expect
ed would be the apex of the drive,
he sent out two patrols, totalling
l6 men.
These 10 had certain camouflage
to perform. They were to set go
ing a certain type of French ma
chine gun which would fire of its
own accord for awhile after being
started off. They were to run from
one of these guns to the other
and start them. Also the 10 we're
to send up rockets, giving signals,
which the Germans of course know
as we'll as we. Then again they were
to place gas shells-with the gas
flowing out of them in all the dug
outs of the first line. Meanwhile
the French artillery had Registered"
directly on our own front trench
so that it could slaughter the Ger
mans when they came across, be-
lieving those trenches to be occupi-
ed as usual.
Everything worked out as expect
ed and as luck had it, most of those
gallant 10 Frenchmen got back safe
ly.
Terrible Slaughter.
Five niutes before the Germans
started their artillery preparation
for the drive General Gouraud start
ed his cannon going and there was
slaughter in the German lines. Then
when the German infantry crossed
to our front line trenches (now en-
tirely vacant) they were smashed up
because the French guns were fir
ing directly upon these positions,
which they knew mathematically.
And those of the boche who went
down into the dugouts for safety
were killed by the gas which the
Frenchmen had left there for them.
This battle-the supreme German
drive-raged over IS kilometers.
West of Rheims the enemy broke
through the line, but they did not
break through anywhere in General
Gouraud's sector. The American
units which took part in the defense
that was so successful were the 42d
division, who were to the west of
US, our own little regiment, and the
American railroad artillery.
Worlds Most Significant Battle.
That was the turning point in the
war, because soon thereafter began
Marshal Foch's great counter thrust,
in which the First and Second Amer
lean divisions participated so won
derfully about Belleau Wood, Cha

FARM AND STOCK

and offering suggestions to their
neighbors in their canning was part
of the work too.
Mr.. Avery, son of w. S. Avery, of

load of excellent watermelons. 1t
seems like Kentuckians can't raise
watermelons as good os those grown
over in Tobinsport bottoms, and
these OF Mr. Avery's were both good
in taste and brought good prices.

his famous sweet. Mr.. Vessels 40
