 Evans. who was %, was a driver hired since the strike started. His guard. Dodge, who was shot in tho left thigh and left foot while grap- bling with three of the five thugs who rushed the cab, is 29 also and lives in the Mills Hotel, New York.
 Neither of the victims had guns.
 At least dozen stoning of cabs and beatinss of drivers have marked the strike.
 Evans and Dodge early today had driven man and woman from tho terminal to a house on Hudson avenue In West New York. As the couple walked into the hallway, five men swarmed into the cab.
 Evans picked up two foot mon- key wrench and chased one of the thugs. Just as he caught him an- other stepped mp and fired.

 Taken by surprise. caught in their dueouts, the Americans were pre- vented from rallying in units of any size, and soon Seicheprey was in the versed the trenches to guard against counter attack and had established lines Of communication with their reserve units.
 Ralying in little groups, with rife and bayonet, machine gun and automatic rifle, even with kitchen knives and bare fists. the Americans fought hand 10 hand battles with such vigor and tenacity that eventu- ally the Prussians were driven back to their own trenches. taking with them a few prisoners but leaving be- hind a great portion of their force dead or wounded
 After the battle was over several American companies were decimat- ed. Company C of New Haven and Middletown had only handful of men left. r. Company of the sec ond battalion fared almost as badly. But when the regiment had been taken to a rest camp in the rear Of the sector and the slightly wound ed and those separated from their commands had been reassembled. the toll of the battle was found to be not so severe az at first imagined.
 This was the first engageme ent in which an American division, acting as q unit under it's own officers, had participated in more than a minor trench raid, and it's successful de- fense Of Seicheprey and the sur rounding terrain had a valuable ef- feet upon the morale of America's allies, assuring them the green Amer ican troops could and would fight 10 the limit.

ded another scalp to his belt at the

but of that quality he had an abund.

that would have floored q dozen

kept popping Atkinson's s head back
! with lefts and alternating with
lefts and lights to the body. In the
i third Il STIFF left to the jaw brought
out two C Atkinson's teeth, and
other punches turned his face into
bloody, mangled pulp.
The fans roared for a knockout
bat by clinching on Atkinson wealth
cred the frame. In the fourth At.
kinson appeared rejuvenated, only
| to walk into another vollev that
| gave the round to Hudkins. Cries
of: Stop it, echoed from all part:
