The first members of the American expe ditionary force have been In a fight with the Germans. They slipped away from their own camp In crclcr to get Into It. There ' were three of them. One of them failed to come back. The other two I have Just seen. They wero doing police duty cleaning up a village street under the guard of an armed corporal Asking what their offense had been, I was told thofollowlng story: Five days ago theso two men In company with a third disappeared. Tho two I saw viere brought back to camp under an armed French guard. They had made their way our a relatl cly great distance to tho front, ' somehow passed ail barriers, and reached front-line trenches! at the moment of a local ! Vrvnrh nttnek.
