A little later the call came, and the companies were lined up and o unteers called for. One captain told me that when he asked for thirty men 150 offered themselves f The attack started Just after the noon hour, and our boys were in its midst. For their first fight they got into the nastiest mix-up imaginable and me the meanest boche tricks They found what it was to go against hidden ma- chine guns, camouflaged rapid-fire nests, iras shells and the deafening roar of a heavy barrage They were shot at by snipers hiding In trees, and they were ..shot at by big and little cannon with a roar that deafened them, but they did not falter. They went ahead with the French veterans of many a battle. They took machine gun posts; they took trench positions. There was the case of Lieutenant . w-hich show s the spirit of our men. He was leading his men when a Ger man bullet got him through the shoul .' was taken ba to a dressing station, after which, with his arm in a sling, he returned and led his men until Uie fight was ended Cut Pah M-ith Ba3onet our boysfought through woods that were almosr impregnable, where bayo nets were sometimes used to cut paths, and all in the face of German machine guns cleverly concealed The efficient resistance of the Ger mans was due in part to their new stunt of climbing into the tops of trees during the artillery bombardment. The trick of hiding in holes in the ground tt escape shelldre Is as old as this war but the boche yesterday tried success fully the trick of climbing Into high trees, where he was almost safe from .shells exploding on the ground "When the French and Americans advanced ' through the supposedly clear woods they - suffered from these boches. .... ...ca,, lau saw a uerman ma l chine-gunner In a tree kill setral Frenchmen. He threw all his hand trenades without success. Then this lad climbed the tree and with his bayonet Killed the boche and threw ' the body to the ground All ln all. nothing could be better than the behavior of these boys Re member, It was their first fight, and they stuck It out. In these same woods, fighting for these same hills, other volunteer soldiers took part on the night of July l, whlla their comrades to the left were cap turing Vaux and the Boise de La Roche The American soldiers and officers were r so modest about it that the American headquarters did not know of the ex ploits of these men serving with the French until the French commanders reported it. On July 4 the French colonel who had ledthe attack on the night of July sent a letter to the Amer ican general in which hp-sald- "From the beginning of the attack the American detachments were marked by their ardor, their bravery and their enthusiasm. In spite of the firing of the enemy s heavy and light machine guns, trench mortars and riflemen, placed In the trees, these men bravely threw them selves upon their, adversaries Fierce hand-to-hand contests Immediately took place in the thick and almost impreg nable woods. Each man sought, during all the operation, to arouse the enthusi asm and admiration of his French com rades by his magnificent beha!or A lieutenant's Bravery "Lieutenant Shenkel especially dis tinguished himself during this combat, making a great Impression- on his own troops and on our soldiers Led on by his ardor, with seven men, the lieu tenant found himself surrounded on all sides. This detachment cut Its way through by using the butta of their rifles and bayonets on the enemy's ranks, and succeeded In rejoining their com rades, lieutenant Shenkel himself kill ing with a pistol shot a German officer. "The attitude of all the American ranks, especially the noncommissioned officers. Was also noticeable. Of the six noncommissioned officers participat ing ln the attack, five have fallen glori ously, killed or wounded. All officers, noncommissioned officers and privates were superb In their enthusiasm and courage. I would appreciate It very much if you would bring the knowledge of your regiment the splendid conduct of your men, who fought for the first S time with us, and let everybody know that with such admirable soldiers as yours and ours the defeat of the Ger mans Is certain In the near future." The French gensral, under whom Americans fought, sent this message to the American general: .
