enough to fight it out until none remained.

Jets Of liquid flame, accompanied by
steady streams of machine gun, rife bullets
and grenadcs, struck at the American left
flank. With oaths too terrible and weird
to repeat, the survivors rushed to the de-
fence OF the menaced side OF the hollow
square and fought like supcrmcn. The re-
naming machine gun poured its lcaden
streams into the fire bearers at pointblank
range. Rifles worked as fast rs cartridges
could be pumped INTO the chambers. The
attack failed. The enemy withdrew, but IN
almost every case the iamo throwers re-
NAMED dead upon the ground, with their
humane weapons shooting fame weaker
