Thla analogy Is perhaps exaggerated.
but It shows what the Germans have
found out about how the Americans can
shoot this French three-lnch piece.
And white the artillery is doing I ts after hIs tr(atment by tne Arm,rlc4nB

A remarkable story was told by a j,ondon notei. He W their officers told

entrances. One American with baybnet'Pulnea-
on his rifle took a position at one en-1
trance, while Into the other his com
rade threw hand grenades. As the Ger
mans came out of the other entrance
the first American got them. The sys
tem was working One, when the hand
grenades gave out. The American
grabbed a flame projector from a pass
ing Frenchman and sent a ho,t message I thereupon the officers shot and killed
to the remaining Germans, who came both his parents. It seems hard to be
out quickly. These two accounted forlleve such stupidity, but we have seen
forty-seven Germans, so the story goes. , enough boche treatment of human beings
Another story had to do with a young j to believe any story of atrocities on the
corporal who alone came on a oocne
dugout. Calling to the inmates to come
out, he threw In two hand grenades.
Eight Germans, with hands up, above
their heads, walked out. A few moments'
later the corporal said to his captain:
"I beg to report, sir, with eight
prisoners."
Then this lad told his commander It
was a big dugout and he believed more
Germans were there, and he asked for
more men to help him get them. He got
permission, and started over again,
when a German 50 millimeter shell blew
him Into pieces.
The Germans held positions on this
sector on an elastic line that has no
continuous trench defense but dugouts'
every 1B0 yards.
" A sergeant at a listening 'post the,'
other daV could hear no Germans mov
ing. Taking two doughboys with him, he
went forward and found twenty Ger
mans with rifles stacked outside, asleep
ln a dugout with their guard-also asleep. .
Dispatching the guard with a bayonet,
they called' on the twenty to surrender.
When several Germans started toward
the sergeant he threw In two hand
grenades.- He and his men brought back
five of the bodies as prisoners. The rest
were killed. On'the way back a Ger
man machine gunner.had .his gun -trained
on the sergeant's party, when an,
American .sniper 'got the boche through
the head.
These are samples of how the Amer
icans keep the Germans busy In their
sector.
"Maektnake Division"
A raptured German officer told an
American general that the Germans
have named one American division the
Blacksnake Division." He alleged he
meant that the Americans went crawl
ing about No Man's Land all night and
were a pest to the Germans.
I have been talking with many dough
boys, who despite some losses are in the
highest spirits. A dozen of them ex
pressed this thought:
"The marines did wonderfully and
you correspondents are right to boost
them to the folks back home. But please
don't forget us when our turn comes."
"Can the enemy get through you If he
comes this way?" I asked.
"He can like hell," was the fervent
reply.
That Is the spirit of the American
who has fought the German. He believes
lie is a better fighting man than the
German soldier, and he is. An instance
of German acts that do much to damage
the Americans' Innate spirit of fair
play occurred today while I was at a
headquarters here, A French airplane
was approaching, flying low. Nothing
was thought of It, until a moment later
a file of American soldiers on their
waV to relief at the front was raked byi
machine-gun Are from the airplanes. A
minute Jater four bombs werf dropped.
It was. of course, a boche flying .in a
captured plane or a boche plane dis
guised as French. Because of the sur
prise of the attack, the German flier
got, away before the French aviator
could catch him.
Americans Get 1000 Germans
The American forces on th Marne
front have been straightening out their
line following the capture of the Bols da
Belleau. They brought In additional
prisoners yesterday, making the total
number of Germans captured by Ameri
cana ln this section during the last week
approximately 1000. It is impossible to
picture the enthusiasm of the French
people in the village through which
prisoners of the Americans were taken.
Word .was passed from mouth to mouth
that the passing Germans had been cap
tured by our soldiers, and on all sdes
ope heard cheers for "les bons Ameri
cans," The great majority of prisoners taken
by our men are very young, most of
them being about nineteen, I never saw
happier lot of them than the 300 boches
captured in the Bols de Belleau. They
said 'their officers had told them to fight
to' the death, because President Wilson
had ordered the Americans to take no
prisoners and to shoot all Germans. The
doughhoys, instead of shooting the
boche, zav him cigarettes and fed him
well.
There Is a marked difference in the
attitude of German privates and Ger
man pmcers. The privates are glad to

I was present when three German
officers were belnr questioned. An
American ofneer said It; them:

Although many men concurred In
saying tha officers told them the Ameri

fact Is that two letters from German
mothers' were found on them, advising
them to be captured by Americans,
which would be better than throwing
away their lives vainly lighting to the
death for the Kaiser. The captured men
were very glad to find that their mothers
were right.
All the captured men seemed obsessed
with the Idea that the war would end.
this year. The idea evidently has been
well drilled into them by their officers.
Get.fleriaan Artillery
The fourdays' victorious fight for
possession of the Important Bols de Bel
leati, northwest of Chateau-Thierry, re
sulted ln the capture, besides the pris
oners mentioned, of two German field
guns 77's and thirty machine .guns,
besides some small mortars. This was

the rush at Bouresches they had been

many nests of machine guns there, which
afterward kept, up a harassing fire. The
Americans several timer made big raids
Into the woods, clearing out part of the
Germans, but the next day the Germans
would reappear with a harassing fire.
Despite strong artillery work, the
Germans seemed able to stay there.
On, Sunday a tain of extra heavy
artillery fire began on the woods. Ttjls
was kept up all Sunday night and Mon
day, On Monday night the fire was re
doubled and the "woods literally braked
with lines of shell ftre.
At about 3 o'clock Monday morning
the marines started, as soon as the artillery-
Are was stopped, to go through
those woods. At the nearer edge of the
woods, devastated by our shelf fin?, they
encountered little opposition. A little
further on the Germans made a small
stand, but were completely routed ; that
is, those who were not killed. -By this
time the marines were fairly started
on their way. They swept forward,
clearing out machine-gun- nests with
rifle fire, bayonets and hand serenades.
Turned Guns on Boehes
The Germans started In headlong
flight when the Americans seized two
mschlne guns and turned them on their
opponents with terrific effect. The Ger
mans soon tired of this, and those near
est the Americans began, surrendering.
In the meanwhile the marines kept up
the chase.

way, to surrender, ln, a short time the
gallant marines had got Jo the other
side of the woods and Immediately, witn
the aid of the engineers, started the
construction of a strong position.
Prlsoneis counted that day numbered,
more than 800. It was found that they,
belonged to the crack Fifth German
duard division, which IncjodfS the
Queen F.lltabeth regiment. There had
been 1300 Germans In the woods, -With
the exception of the prisoners nearly all
the rest were slain.
The prisoners said they were glad of
the chance to surrender and get out
of the woods, because the American'
artillerv fire for three days had cut off
their food and other supplies, and they
had lived In U hell on earth. The Ger
mans seemed deeply Impressed by the
fury of the American attackl One of
the captured officers, when asked what
he thought of the Americana as fighters,
answered that the artillery was crazy
and the Infantry drunk. A little boche
private, taking up his master's thought,
pointed to three tousled but smiling
marines, and said! ,
"Vln rouge, Vln blanc beaucoup vln."
He meant, he thought the Americans
must be Intoxicated to fight as they'dtd
for that wood.
Our boys took special delight In cor
ralling the machine guns. Thtso gun's
had been very well placed behind trees
and In rocky caves and well supplied
with ammunition. The Americans had
nractlctd on a German machine gun pre
viously captured, and knew just' how to1
use them against the "Helnes." The
captured guns were cleverly camou
flaged and were almost overlooked by the
Americans. The mortars had been used
to throw gas shells from the'helghts Into)
the woods upon the Americans.
Lew Msrale Surprises American
There was the greatest surprlso among
American officers at the evident low
morale among members of the Fifth
Guard division, thought to be one of the
Kaiser's very best.
The Germans had tried their best to
get the Americans out of,the wood and
to hold the valuable position. They had
sent attack after attack there, always
falling to gain complete free possession,
but making things very unpleasant for
our men. It was after four days of this
that the marines got on their hind legs
and went after the boches.
An American general tonight charac
terized the capture of the .Bols de Bel
leau wood as the most Important thing
the Americans at the front had yet ac
complished'. Its possession straighten,
our line, taking away from the German
his protected wedge Into our positions
and gives an excellent starting point for-
runner operations.
