BUENOS AIRES, June 23.-With
bayonet and machete, Bolivian and
Paraguayan infantry fought hand
to hand today for the sixth consecu-
tive day. The living we're haggard
and near exhaustion. Thousands OF
casualties were scattered over the
bloody plain in the Gran Chaco
jungle.
Each side had thrown its picked
infantrymen time and again against
the others position. Each time the
defending force, in hastily thrown
up earthworks, poured point blank
fire from machine guns, trench
mortars and field artillery to wither
the ranks of the attackers.
At dawn Monday the Paraguay
ans, with their celebrated machete
regiment in the van, first moved to
the attack. They fought their way
through jungle underground and
believed the Bolivians had evacuat-
ed their position.
They advanced toward the Pill
comayo river that forms the from
tier between the Chaco and Argen-
tina. They were but seven and
one-half miles away, when they
found themselves trapped.

wiped out.
1t was such a complete victory for
the Bolivians that their staff decid-

position was reversed. AS the infan-

line, deadly fire was opened.
The Paraguayans sent their own
infantry out, machetes or jungle
knives, that will lop off an arm, a
leg or head, swinging. Machete
men and bayonet men of the b.
livians met in the middle of the
plain before Canada Carmen and
fought hand to hand in the long
