- AMERICAN FIKLD HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Aug. 2.
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. In which thev took nart with
gallantry and truo American courage.
One of tho three In the charge In which
v lis two companions participated was killed
Instantly by a Bocho bullet. The others
preached tho obJectle with their allies, the
' very first American soldiers In this war to
W help win a bit at Invaded TranSe for France.
X . When their Identity was dUcovered they
ifere returneu to tne rear ana seni DacK me
qriany kilometers to camp under guard,
where they wero disciplined for Infraction
ot duty.
The explanation given as to their esca
pade was In this languago from the lips of
pea of the twain:
"We didn't como over hero to hang around
a camp, but to fight. So wo cooked up a
scheme and Weat It to a getaway with good
luck to get mixed up In a scrap right away.
When wo go up there on our own outfit
tmder our little old Stars and Stripes we'll
know something more about how It's d6no

tho Central Powers will be given to under

'The Governments of the Central Towers
