NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The story
OF how General Gouraud obtained.

hour at which the last great German
offensive OF the war was to be started
and how, with the aid OF American
troops, he hurled back the advancing
hordes, was told in an address here by
Colonel William Hayward. of the 369th
infantry (colored), the former 10th

declared Colonel Hayward. Rein
forced by released prisoners from
Russia, the foe was at the zenith OF his
power. The blow came east OF
Rheims.
Eve knew this attack was coming
and knew it was to be the maximum
German effort said Colonel Hayward.
About one hour before o'clock on
the night Of July IA, we captured Ger
man prisoners in raid. They told US
when the attack would come.
1.-The artillery preparation was to
start at midnight and last Ave hours
and twenty-five minutes. So General
Gouraud started our artillery fire five
minutes ahead of theirs.
"That put them up in the air. Fritz
had to send to Hans to ask what the
change in his plans meant.
when the French knew when this
battle was coming their forces did not
remain a thin blue line. 1t seemed
that all the soldiers and all the can

about how hard he had to work to con
vince General Petain and Marshal
Foch that his plan was right.
"But he took a chance-the greatest
chance any soldier ever took in the
world. He took his troops out of the
front line trenches over a front OF
fifty bilometers.
"Some of these trenches had cost
thousands of lives. Men had toiled for
weeks and months to gain these posi-
lions. He abandoned them when he
was sure where the attack was com
ing.
"And when this occurred, he had the
369th American infantry on one end
