AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The And di-
vision had possession of La Croix
farm at the Ouroq but at shocking
price This farm was low, wide
spread group of stone buildings con
nected by walls and bitches. The
enemy had made an enormous mach
ine-gun nest of the natural stronghold.
and had defied earlier determined eff
forts of French troops to dislodge
them. The 18TH alabama National
Guard) and 16Sth Gowa National
Guard) Infantrys struggled all day
against this nest of horrors. In one
assault, every man of one platoon of
the 168th fell. 1t was suicide to rush
the enemy across the open; efforts to
work around the edges were thown
back by thanking fire; an accurate
barrage from German artillery ripped
through the surrounding underbrush;
gas, made doubly dangerous by light
rain, swirled about. Wounded lay in
bloody muck. There were no roads
to the rear through the woods by
which ambulances could be brought
up. Shippers picked off officers and
men struggled forward under con-
flicting commands, and each success
sive repulse was more costly than the
last.
Then, just at dusk, two platoOns Of
assembled casuals- volunteers from
the 18TH and 168th, led by two lieu
tenants, heroically squirmed forward
through the mud, Indian fashion, and
closed upon the farm buildings with
grenades, and the stronghold yielded.
It is recorded in one memoir that in
that last desperate and successful
charge, one ALBANIAN gave the rebel
yell that had reverberated ever since
