The Americans fired on them al
once, and when the Germans fell
grenades wrapped in handkerchiefs
fell from their hands. Still later a
German in French uniform came

not deceived and shot them all

Hun Gets Spiteful.
On the night of July l6, the Ger
mans gave up hope, and the hand
to-hand fighting ceased. The allied
line in the Champagne. though it
had bent in and out during the two
days battle, was re-established with
not foot of ground lost, the Ger
man offensive had crumpled in the
early hours of the first day. The
decisive battle of the war had been
won.
Now the Hun became spiteful.
Raging in defeat he shelled the rear
areas as far back as Chalons. and
sprinkled the earth with bombs from
the sky. Back there where the am
munition and supplies had come from
and where the wounded had been
carried, the scene was indescribable.
Dead horses lay everywhere-simply
scattered about the landscape. The
big American hospital at Bussy-le-
Chateau had been wrecked by bombs

diers destroyed and the men killed
Roads were obliterated for miles; a
blight seemed to have descended on
trees and vegetation; everywhere
within a radius of 20 miles the earth
was torn and tortured. But the line
had held; the bodies of Americans
of the Rainbow had barred the road
to Chalons; and some were in hud-
died shapeless heaps in the trenches
and some were wiping off their
bayonets and crying.

vance on that wing, Trouble had
been expected there.
The I'd battalion of the 10Th
had had no shelter during the Ger
man bombardment except what the
trenches afforded, which was almost
no shelter at all But the men had
been spread out thinly, and shells,
when they were direct hits on the
parapets, did a minimum Of damage.

with Gourand's stirring words and
the sense of the greatness of it all,
had slumped bit under the terrible
German fire, but now that that was

were ready.
They were in four companies-G
and H on the right of the Chalons
road, commanded by Capt. Thomas
F. Goerg and Capt. Herman w.
Thompson, and E and F on the left
of the road, commanded by Lieut..
Raymond R. Brown and Capt. Fred
erick L. Wyatt. The commander Of
the I'd battalion was Capt. Ev-
erett H. Jackson. The position took
in the crests of two gentle slopes,
with little valley between, and the
slopes were strewn with old tree
stumps and scrubby little pines.

Some man in G company saw the
Germans first; he had crawled up to
watch them coming, and he saw one
particular boche befor. he saw the
others. He was 2 monstrous big

He did And when his rifle
cracked the Americans opened up
all along the right of the line. All
the Germans who could dropped in
communicating trenches and contin-
ued sneaking forward under cover.
From then on no American in that
part of the fight remembers very
clearly what happened, except in his
own particular little patch of ground.
Then and there the battle of the
Champagne became a rough-and-
tumble fight with bare knives-man
against man, with knives. fists, teeth
and rife butts.
They Did mot Pass"
The Germans, expecting, as orders
on captured prisoners showed, to
reach the town of Suippes by noon
of July IS and Chalons by 4 O'Clock
of the next day, ran into a stabbing
ARRAY within the first few minutes.
That is what it was in the Alabama
trenches - a tremendous stabbing
ARRAY, with men cutting and slash
ing and jabbing at each other, with
no time to gloat or to be sorry over
a victim or to rest, because there
was more killing to do. In the Bac-
carat sector the 10Th had started

C.W.NASH DENIES
PRESS. RUMORS
OF ANY COMBINE
No Possibility of Consolidation
Of Nash Motors Company
With Other Firms,
Says President.

In answer to the recent reports
that there was a possibility OF = a
combine of the Nash Motors com
.pany with several other big COM
panies in the motor-car industry
comes the statement from c. w.
Nash, president of the Nash Motors
company, Kenosha. Wis, which
eliminates any possibility of mer-
ger such as has been recently re-
ported in the press.
In an interview with Mr.. Nash he
said, "The reports of a consolida-
ton in the motor-car industry which
includes the Nash Motors company
are not founded on facts. There is
no possibility of the Nash Motors
company becoming a subsidiary OF
any other company in the motor
car industry.
Like all other great industries,
the automobile business is narrow
ing down to the survival Of the fit
test" said Mr.. Nash. DAY after
day there are mergers reported.
No Criticism.
Il have no criticism Of this ten
dency. but ] would like to have it
definitely understood that nothing
could induce the Nash Motors COM
pany to enter into merger. Should
it become advisable or expedient,
we would go into the field for other
plants, but in that event the result
ing expansion would be under the
control of the Nash Motors COM
pany."
Because of Mr.. Nash's u years
experience in manufacturing and be-
cause of the record he holds as one
OF the worlds foremost manufac-
turers, there have been frequent ru-

They had just come up after two
weeks rest, previous to which
they had held this same sector
and studied every foot of the

attacking the center, held entirely

Pick of German Forces.
They were the pick of General
Won Binem's Third army, and for
all the demoralizing effect of the
allied fire, which had started before
theirs and continued with scarcely
lessened vigor. they came on across
No Mans land in superb form. They
were Prussians, most of them, and
it was a Prussian boast that no
troops could attack in such close
formation as theirs.
But the allied front line was de-
serted. Eager to come to a stand
up fight, the Germans kept on and
found nobody to fight; nothing but
mines that roared up beneath their
feet, and thick gas clouds and shells
tearing great holes in their ranks.
And in little torn forests Of wire
the men of the French sacrifice
companies now came out of their
holes like small swarms of angry
bees and stung them with bursts OF
machine-gun fire.
And now, too, Gourand called an
other bit of strategy into play; Or
ders to fire came to gunners who
had been out of range Of the Ger
man artillery when the lombard
ment had started, but who were now
within range of the advancing Ger
man infantry. Direct hits from high
explosive shells began piling into the
German attackers. But still they
kept on, thousands more climbing
over heaps of bodies to fill the gaps.
And finally, by sheer disregard -ot

1t may never be accurately known
whether the Germans reached the
left or the right of the line first, and
it makes little difference, since they
gained no more at one side than
they did at the other. But it is fair

force at the right, because just in

back, he stood before what assem-
blage of Rainbow officers it had
been possible to gather and thanked
them and, through them, the men.
1t was a strange assemblage: scrub
by-chnned men. dirty and torn, half
blind and half choked still with gas,
muscles and nerves still quivering
with the long fight. and staff officers
whose painful attempts at polishing
up tor the occasion were obvious
and soldierly.
He said few words, did Gouraud
but they were deep words. They
said the Rainbow division had put a
new spirit into France; that before
the battle their mere presence had
been tonic; that their resistance
during the battle was like promise
or new life. And he announced for
the first time the successful launch
ing of an allied offensive between
scissors and Chateau Thierry.
Some Cried: Seine Sang.
Officers who had not slept for
days, covered with the dirt and
blood OF the trenches, shouted with
Joy. Camps of men just out Of the
jaws of death rang with laughter
and song. The tide of war had
turned. The French celebrated
their 18th of July on July 10, and
champagne ran like water.
But they say that Sergt. Lawrence
Quigley. a Minneapolis man, in D

had no part in the rejoicing. His

This installment of the History
of The Rainbow Division by Ray
mond S. Tompkins describes the
browning battle of the divisions Ca
reer. There were others before and
after this, but this battle-the Bat
tie of Champagne-was crucial, and
the Rainbow knew it was crucial
and fought as only Americans can
fight in tight place.
Mr.. Tompkins gives details Of
that battle that have never been
given before in sequence, and tells
of individual acts of heroism that
won the highest commentator of
two nations. But how the great
German attack was stopped, and
stopped finally, after 4S hours of
hand-to-hand fighting, can only be
understood by reading all OF this
article.
On a front of AZ miles on that
night of July IA the German barrage
fell like a blanket. Like an avalan
che it swept upon the allied posi-
tons and enveloped them all every
where and at once. 1t was not a
fugue chorus with one gun beginning
and others coming in a few at a
time: one wire or one button seem
ed to have started them ar.
For most of the soldiers at their
dugout doors watching their own
barrage with pleasureable awe, the
re was but one move posslble-a
dive like a slide to second" into
the nearest hole in the ground.
Death Reached Out Everywhere.
And not even that always saved
them. There was death and de-
struction in the very air; it seemed
to be reaching out with hungry,
clutching hands, sweeping victims
in; the sky swished and swirled
like a hurricane, bringing rain
that burst with red crash when it
landed, and the clean night breeze
became a deadly draft of poisonous
gas.
1t dwarfed the rench-American
barrage in sound; swallowed it up
UP like a shark swallowing sea-
bass. For years to come, Americans
who lived under it will shake their
heads and fail for words when you
talk of the first part of that night in
the Champagne. Only the first Ger
man offensive on the Somme in
1918 rivaled that bombardment; the
attack on Nerdun in 1916, compared
to it, was mere harassing.
1t continued without abatement
until q o'clock in the morning. Then
it seemed to lift for a moment to
lessen in violence. The German in
fantry was coming, six frst-class d.
visions strong in the first assault; a

NEBRASKA PIC
CROPS ARE Way

Adverse Weather Conditions

Have Much to Do With
Light Hog Crop.

Lincoln, Neb., May 24--Por',
prices will continue high ii Ne
braska's spring pig crop has any
thing to do with them, according to
r. F. Holland, county agent leader,
who has Just returned from tour
of the western and central part
OF the state. Mr.. Holland visited
a dozen central and western counties
of the state and in practically every
one county agents reported the pig
crop not only much below last year
but below normal.
Several factors seem to figure i'll
causing a small number of spring
pigs. Cool, wet weather resulted i'll
enormous losses from pneumonia.
The lack of last years patriotic APP
peal and the none too bright pros
poets caused the farmers to breed
lighter than usual. The guaran
teed wheat price and favorable
crop conditions have turned many
a farmers head toward wheat as his
big profit-maker.
Corn planting IS at least two
weeks late. according to Mr.. Hol-
land, and continued unfavorable
weather will be serious menace to
a crop. Unless the growing season
is exceptionally favorable corn
planted later than May stands rather
small chance of making a good crop.
1t is estimated that little more than
one-fourth of the corn was planted
May IS. More corn is being listed
this year than usual.
