Disregard Danger
Contlnoed from Tare On
lalns. To Illustrate, I will cite one
case. When the German, crossed the
Marne and advanced against the
Americans through Mesy, many of our
men were wounded In a brave stand.
Two daja later an .airplane brought
word that Americans tiad been seen
lying In a graveyard in Mesy, pre
sumably wounded.
This chaplain, with a squad of vol-
1 unteers went through the German
lines and to the graveyard, where he
found private Knight with three
'wounded Americans. He stayed there
two davs nnd nights, giving food and
water to the wounded men. with every
move placing him In danger of death.
The keeper of the mausoleum had con
ducted a private hospital until the
chaplain came. The three wounded,
Knight and the rescuing party made
their way at night back to the Ameri
can lines.
Banner Risk Lives Hourly
There Is another group of Americans
whose deeds are heroic but do not ap
pear In the . official communiques I
refer to the runners These lads, when
the line gets too far ahead for tele
phonic communication, risk their lives
hourly earning messages
Two davs ago a, platoon of Americans
was cut off In a. narrow strip of woods
and were being shot down one by one
by German machine-gun fire. Along
about noon the Americans" ammunition
ran low. They must have ammunition
nnd re-enforcements or all was lost.
The captain started one runner hack
across an exposed wheat field, only to
see him cut down by the machine-gun
fire The second, third, fourth and fifth
lad undertook the task willingly and
paid the price of the first runner.
To the sixth runner the captain hand
ed the message, tlllng him to wait
until nightfall and try It. This lad
disobeyed orders and started nt once.
He crawled through the machine-gun
and sniper Arc to a shell hole edge He
lav there a few minutes and like a
frog leaned to the next shell hole.
' He kept this up for three hours, and
after crossing a wheat field a kilometer

when he vvnuia jump 10 tnn next sneu
hole, he got to the shelter of the
woods and delivered the message When
guiding re-enforcements back to the little

FOE DEFENDS RAILWAY
Desperately Fights to Retain
FifiiTiRfi-Fprr. RniitE for
Supplies
Iiy the Associated Press
Washington, July 24.
The advance of the Allied and Amer
ican forces around the Alsne-Marne
salient has been virtually steady for the
last two days, General March, chief of
staff, announced today, despite the fact
that fifteen fresh divisions of German
troops have been thrown Into the fight
ing at Solssons ajid on the line south
of there.
The Germans are fighting desperately
to retain the single railway line re
maining In their hands, over which
heavy material can bn removed ns thej
retreat, Gefernl Marcji said
If that railway, 1 mining from Flmes
to Kcrc-en-Tardenols Is re icheel bv the
Allied troops, Geneial March epl lined,
German forces remaining In the salient
will be pocketed
On the Ithelms side of the salient offi
cial leports show the enemv Ins been
thrown back an average distance of a
mile and a half on a ten-mile front, de
fplto heavily wooded countrj and high
ground to aid his defense
The area lost by the Germans during
tho last 'week, the general said, ilhout 1
equals that gained by them on the Flan-1
ders front in April
The chief of staff said the American
divisions he mentioned last Saturday ai
Involved In the fighting wcic still con
staptly engaged
He addeefin additional American units
to i those already known to be on tho
line In this region
In discussing the situation on the
AIsnc-Mnrno line, General M irch said it
bore striking similarity to what had
happened to the Austrian drive into
Hal. A gieai stoim liner cut oft the
advancing Austrlans on the Piavc line,
he said, and dlasloi resulted simi
larly, a heavj stoim masked the move
ment of tanks and troops when General
Toch strue'k on the Solssons-Chateau-Thlerry
fron,t, and tho Geimaii3 were
taken completely b surprise
General Match raid l seemed thai the
Lord was getting tired of the pirtneishlp
of "me und Gott "
The French attack of .vestcrdav north
of Montdldler, on the Pleat el fiont, Is
viewed, Genetal Match said as a local
operation not ellrectlv Involved ln ihe
stiategy of the Alsne-.Maine luttlu front
It has great value, hnwevci, he explain
ed, as It serves to keep the Germans
guessing
