WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
THE FIELD, March 1 (delayed).
The Hun learned a bitter lesson
today. He found tho American sol
dier is every inch a fighting man. '
loung American soldiers al-
learned that the Hun is not nn un-
horned invulnerable dragon, but can
)e defeated, even when possessing
tne advantage in numbers of two to
one.
The morale of the American nrmy
had its first severe test. A German
raiding party of overwhelming num
bers attempted to rush an isolated
sector of our front northwest of
Toul, They were halted by desper-
ale lighting at close Quarters nnrl
