had done the same thing by making
a stand, the next move now was up
to Van Hassek.
At the division command post,
General Mole had slept through the
morning preparation fire. Only by
vigorously shaking him had his aide
been able to rouse him out of his
sleep. Dosing himself with strong
coffee, Mole cooly watched the de-
velopment Of attack. The Van Has
SEX strategy had a right to suppose
that the Second would hold lightly
and run off to successive delaying
positions.
Anxiously, Mole and his staff
scanned information as it came in
over the field wires and from obser-
walton planes. Van Hassek's tortu-
GUS columns still were moving up
from Laredo. But no fresh move
ment of reserves was located in
the immediate American front. Both
the Brownsville and Eagle Pass col
umns were several hours travel
from striking range of either flank.
Casualty reports came in, roughly
computed, by noon. One hundred
and seven officers, most lieutenants.
Nineteen hundred men. A fifth of his
command gone, many of them Off
GERS and men with whom he had
served through long years of peace.
But discipline held up, and stern,
stubborn fighting spirit pervaded the
ranks. That word came from the
commanders of infantry who had
taken the brunt of the losses, it
came from the artillery regiments
which were still being pounded by
long-range artillery.
Against odds of men and weap-
ons there remained the valor of
manpower that could be conquered
only in death, or lawful order Of
retreat.

ond attack launched against that
line, if it succeeded, meant inevita-
BILE defeat.
Into the melee came rushing
American reserves, co-ordinated
counter-attack by the Sd Battalion
Of the 23d and the I'd Battalion of the
9th. They hit with vigor that halt
ed the menacing enemy masses.
Their semi-automatics, pouring
death as fast as fingers could work
triggers, gave to the attacking
American battalions the infantry
weight of twice their numbers.

themselves into fox holes, waited. A
