AMERICANS DH1VB GERMANS

Saturday's wlthdrnwnl of the Ger

sure took them nt midnight across
the river and into strong hilled posi
tions on the northern bank. There
they placed many hundreds of mu
chlne guns ranging on the river, nnd
trained their artillery to lay down bar
rages on the stream. Two fresh
guard divisions were placed In front
of the Americans, nnd the bridges
were destroyed behind the fleeing foe.
At midnight the enemy thought ho
had a new line. He had for a few
hours.
At 4 o'clock a part of the famed
fighting unit stepped from the woods
on tho southern bank, leaped Into the
stieam. which Is nhout two feet deep
nnd got to the other bank before the
Germans were nware of It. But by
the time all were over the machine
i guns cut loose and the barrage swept
them mercilessly. They hem twenty
minutes nnd had to come back. But
the Germans were all wrong If they
thought the Americans were through
At 5:15 another dash wat made, nnd
nfter bloody fighting this, too, was
driven back ncross the stream.

and even In the churches, that awnke the
wrath of our men It was not the ter
rific barrage that angered them But
when they saw Hun snipers kill their
wounded comrades, then they saw red
and made the enemy run
Getting back our wounded presented
many difficulties, because the ambulances
had to wait on the south side of the
river. Scores of wounded men with
slight hurts acted as stretcher-bearers
for the more seriously wounded fellows
The chaplain stayed In the front lines,
directed the work of the stretcher-bearers
and himself gave a hand when need
ed Some of our slightly wounded,
who thought themselves equal to the
task, carried stretchers until they drop
ped from loss of blood or exhaustion
Time after time the Germans played
machine guns on the stretcher-bearers
I saw them wounded and they told me.
One overloaded truck came In vvlth
wounded and reported that a German
airplane had swept low and dropped a
bomb which destrosed an open truck
carrying wounded The driver nnd two i
wounded men were killed Stretcher-I
bearers wading the river with helpless '
wounded were fired on by German snip- J

Our line now lies some distance to the
north of Ourcq, and the line will hold
There are Americans and lots of them
back of that line who mean business
more than ever before If the enemy
wants to play rough with them he
sure will cet his fill
A number of soldiers of one com
pany who had been in the light had
high pralsv for Captain John P Hur
ley, of New Yoik city They said he
was always In rront and early In the
fight shed his coat and belt to do
more business Fran kltooney, of 557
West HOth street, New York city, said:
"We reached where we thought we
i-were going, hut the captain said, 'Come
on. noys, ana we just Kept going Uon t
forget to say a good word for the cap
tain He'H a real guy "
Louis Korthals, of 354 Prospect ave
nue, Brooklyn, and Alfred F Georgle,
Jr , of 330 Macon street. Brooklyn, told
a thrilling story of charging machine
guns through the enemy barrage. They
heard a number of men talking about
Burr Flnkel. hailing from Port Jervis
It appears that Flnkel's officers were all
put out and he took charge of a platoon
and captured three machine guns, put
ling their crews hors de combat. The
men seeemeo to innnw mm naturally
although he was only a private, and he
came thiough without a scratch "And,
said one of the men, "we called him the i
boob of our outfit '"
Sergeant Ruben Brown, of Alabama,
said that from the time he started until
he etopped he covered ten kilometers I
He explained that he didn't mean to gu '
so far. but. advancing uphill, the Ger
mans laid down a rolling barrage behind '
his outfit The barrage moved closer, .
and there was nothing to do but keep
ahead of It Si, thej went on down th
hill, pushing the Germans back until
they reached a valley, where thej- were

tower were turned loose, but Brown and
his men hung on Thej- captund thlrty

how he got through, because snipers
were trying to pick off the Americans
crossing the river. Hlchard Kelly, of
Tarrytown, said he had the same experi
ence as Brady.
The sentiment of all these lads Is
a simple prayer to get back at the
boche again. Because of the sreat use
of machine guns by the enemy In rear
guard actions the doughboys declare
that the Germans are fighting the war
with machlno-guns nnd that, except for
snipers, they hae run Into no ride fire.

Tributes to Yankee Shooting
Here Is an extract from a letter a
German wrote t his patents-
"I am not yet with my company, as I
cannot got out of this village, as they
are firing quite heavily In fact, we
have Americans opposite us. When they
J re it just nans, ami we n every
hour our lives are at an end
Another letter, to a girl, reads:
"The Americans are shooting with
uch effect I am never sure of my life.
We all hope the war will be ended soot,
and that we can go back to Baden nno
stay a'ways In the fatherland, tn this
vicinity the Americans have been firing
on us, one cannon after another, so that
one can't go out at all."
The letter concludes with this admoni
tion: "Don't pay any attention to that acto;
for I will send you lots of money and
also a beautiful ring I found In France."

Just as far as you roasted him that you
could turn nround nnd advance him?"
Gray asked.
"No. sir," replied Stern.
I "I told him I was willing to help him
all I could If he would make a confes
sion.
Gia; quizzed Stern as to the reason
he met Bennett He asked what Stern's
position in the matter was. Stern ex
plained ho had told District Attorney Ro
tan that Bennett was willing to confess.
The witness Informed Rotan of the meet,
ing, he said, after It occurred He de
nied stating to Bennatt his purpose was
"to squteze the Major."
Knew No "llan Oldn Mjers"
Stern denied knowing an "Allan Olds

duced he might be able to Identify him.
No Investigator worked for him and
was reporting to him dally. Stern testi

Gray asked Stern If he knew Boyd
Hamilton a newspaper correspondent at
Harrlsburg He asked If Hamilton In

man sent by Senator Boles Penrose,
who wanted to meet Stern Stern said
he knew Hamilton, but could not recall
that Hamilton Introduced any stranger
to him. Stern admitted he was In
Washington in June, 1917. His visit
was prompted by his interest In a rev
enue bill pending in Congress.
The witness was questioned about the
hotel he stopped at In Washington. He
couldn't recall the name of tha hotel.
"Did jou not meet a man in the bar
of the Halelgh Hotel and tell him there
were going to be big doings in Philadel
phia in the fall?"
Stern answered "No"
"Did jou not say you failed to get
Governor Brumbaugh, and were going
out to 'get' Major Smith?" Gray asked.
Stern answered he hail no desire to
"get" the Mayor.
"D'd jou not tell Major Smith that If
he would let up on Carey jou would

was
the answer.
The defense counsel seized on Stern's
answer. He asked why Stern had not
told that part of the conversation on
direct examination. Stern said he did
not believe that part of tho conversa
tion was material.
Gray asked him If he omitted from
his testimony what he believed was Im
material. Tho witness explained thnt he
hnd not been questioned on direct exam
ination about thnt phase 'of the con
versation with the Mayor
"Did you not In tho Bclleuvc-Stratford
Hotel tell n man that If you 'got' Mavr
Smith you would become n hlg man,
politically? Did you not tell him that
If he stuck to' you he would wear
diamonds?"
Stern denied the meeting nnd the re
mark Imputed to him. He also denied
expressing a wish to Install a dictaphone
In John It K. Scott's office. Scott Is a
member of Congress, nnd was defeated
for tho Republican nomination for lieu
tenant governor of Pennsylvania.
Omy abruptly ended his examination
of Stern. He began a technical fight to
hnve certain evidence brought out In the
last two weeks stricken from the records.
Tho Court denied his motion, whereupon
Gray outlined his plan of defense to the
jury.
Dcutsch, the first of the seven de
fendnnts called to testify, took the stand
at 11:12 o'clock.
Wouldn't Allow Tollre In Polities
Deutsch never would tolerate such a
thing as political work by the police, he
maintained Many of the police trans
ferred from the Third District were
caught canvassing for votes and Deutsch
brought about their, transfer He as
serted they were canvassing for Carey.
The administration "boss" of the Fifth
Ward frequently mopped his face vvlth
a handkerchief while testifying. A big
diamond ring glittered as he raised his
hand Deutsch elected Benjamin Yano
witz to the "Ananias Club" several times.
Yanowltz is the restaurant man who
swore to persecution by the Fifth Ward
police Hmamiel Auerbach, a former
policeman, Is new In Jail for beating

"Raln-ln-the-face" was a pet name for
James A Carey unions the nntl-ndmln-istratlon
leader's opponents In the ward,
Deutsch declared Deutsch denied ever
conferring with Mayor Smith in Atlantic
City during the primary campaign. Re
plying to the Court, tho witness nlo de
nied the existence of a list of Fifth
Wnrd placeholders marked for removal.
Tho witness never declared In a speech,
ho said, that the administration was
back of him He might have told his
workers to "go the limit." but he meant
them to "go the limit In a good, re
spectable waj "
Puts lllame on Tare Workers
Deutsch blamed Carey workers for
Incidents that led to the holding of a
curbstone election in the Fifth Wnrd,
September 1? He feared that 100 voters
would lose their votes If prompt meas
ures were not taken
Commonwealth witnesses told of see
ing "Eddie" Ahranis on prlmarv election
day visiting polling places In the Firth
Ward. Dcutsch said he supposed Abrams
"was looking for nny Irregularities that
might occur."
He said Ahranis was a former Inves
tigator for the Committee of Seventy.
Deutsch has known f.imuel G. Malonev
for fifteen years, he testified. He flatly
denied assertions made earlier in the
'rl' by Maloncy.
Tilnmes Malnney for "Guards"
Attorney Gray began trying to lift
from the shoulders of Deutsch respon
sibility for bringing "election guards"
Into the Fifth Ward He endeavored to
shift the burden to Samuel G. Maloney,
of the Val O'Fnrrell Agncy. Deutsch
testified Maloney volunteered to help him
In his fight against Carey. The alleged
offer was made on n trnln. Maloney
suggested, he asserted, that Deutsch i
bring detectives Into the ward on pri
mary election day.
The witness detailed his visit to
Maloney's oftlc shortly before elutlon.
He arranged for "eighteen detectives
for the vv aid's eighteen divisions."
He was afraid, he said, trat the Carey
forces "would tiy to vote n bunch of
names stricken from the lists."
Deutsch contradicted testimony of
Maloney and "Mike" Sullivan about the
employment of white ribbons bv the
gunners He said the use of ribbons
was not mentioned by Maloney or any
one when he arranged for the "guards.
Tleutsrh as Witness, Defends Actions
Guided by Gray, Deutsch told the
history of his political life In the Fifth
Ward. He la now forty-two years old
When a factional fight sprang up In
the Fifth Wnrd. Dcutsch said he
founded the political club, known fa
miliarly as the Deutsch Club. The
rlnhhoiise was opened August, 1917.
Harking back to testimony involving J
Deutsch with Bennett's political ac-
tlvity, Attorney Gray had Carey's op
ponent deny the Commonwealth's evi
dence. Deutsch, explaining his frequent I
visits to the Third District station
house, said he was president or tne
South Street Business Men's Associa
tion and secretary of the South Second
street Association. He wanted plain
clothes men to protect shoppers from
pickpockets, he said.
Gray, through Deutsch, attacked the
credibility of the police who testified
for the Commonwealth. The testimonv
of each policeman was taken up.

particular sting In each bit of evidence,
concerning claims oi "Dossnooo

GRIM HAND-TO-HAND
BATTLES ON OURCQ
WON BY AMERICANS
By the Associated Prcis
With the American Arm,- on the
AUne-Msrne Front, Julv 30. Tho Amer
ican troops still hold the npx of their
advance won after a struggle wilh the
Germans, In which the opposing lines
moved forward and backward time and
again. Sergy, on the nnrth bank of the
Ourcq, changed hands six times.
The Crown Prlnco of Germany and
his generals paid the Americans a great
compliment In bringing up against them
two of their best divisions, the Fourth
Guards and Bavarians. They had been
held In reservs? presumably for tho oper
ation. They had been delayed, and
reached the army north of the Marne
Saturday night. They moved through
the retreating main body and came Into
action early yesterdav. They did not
replace any of the German troops al
ready In tho lino, but served as re-enforcements.
Full to Herri) Itlvrr
The first efforts of tho guards and
Bavnrlans were partly successful, and
the Amerlcsns were forced to withdraw
from Sergy and a few other positions,
Including the town of Serlngcs-et-Nesles.
But the Germans could not force the
main body across the river. The stream
Is narrow and shallow, nnd some de
tachments at times were driven back,
hut always there remained cnougn
Americans on the north bank to check
the German rushes, and In every In
stance the Americans returned to the
frav vvlth great spirit.
It was a veteran American ellvislon,
nnd the opposition to the terrific on
slaught made against It justified the
confidence of the staff that It was more
than equal to anything the Crown Prince
had to offer.
The Germans were not content with
the stubborn resistance which has char
acterized their fighting so much lately,
Artlllerv supplemented the machine guns
nnd infantry, and the trained guards
nnd Bavarians began their work In a
way reflecting their confidence.
In the repeated changes In position
both sides employed nil the tnctlcs of
modern warfare. After artillery prepa
ration direct advances sometimes wer
made ; nt other times enveloping move
ments were tried.
Wl'h the Americans there operated a
few light French armored motor cars.

Hcnren, of times the khaki and r.r
elad men met In the streets of the little
towns nnd on the slopes of the river
hanks In hand-to-hand erocntinters. The
bayonet was used, but the Americans ef.
fertlvely used their plstola as well.
There was much fighting actually In
the water, where the Germans attempted
to rush antagonists to the south bank
of the stream
It was Into In the afternoon when
Sergy, for the sixth time, was In the
possession of the Americans. At the
some time It was reported that every
other position held by the Americans
Sunday night had been retaken.
From other parts of the long line from
Solssons around to Rhelms come renorts
I of the Allied lines everywhere holding

On the American right the brilliant
cavary support of the French has con
tributed materially w the American suc
cess. The dav was clear, but with light
clouds. There was little wind, and the
weather generally was Ideal for aerial
activity. Both sides took full advantage
of this.
The ncavy guns of the Allies Ignoring
to n great extent tne engagements in
progress almost under their, muzzles,
roared with redoubled fury during -the
day, their charges falling among the
massed troops and tho reserves and
the long transports on the road. Tho
Allied aircraft again nsslsted In harass
ing the troop movements, and also car
ried out observations. The Germans also
emnloved observation and combat
planes, but the superiority of the Allies
in tne nir was marsca.
Although the German operations have
materially stiffened, thero apparently Is
no good military reason to believe the
strength of the'defensc Is Intended other
wise than In a determined effort to
check the great pressure of the Allied
troops while the Germans arc In retreat,
nnd also, perhaps, to administer serious
losses to the Americans.
It Is generally believed the Germans
will not make a stand until they have
reached more advantageous ground, al
though it Is possible they may decide
to turn about along the hlcher ground
they nlready have gained. For the next
few kilometers the' nd vantage In the
terrain Is with the Germnns.

By far the more Important of the two
pivots Is that formed by tho triangle of
country lying between tho road from
Solssons to Oulchy nnd the Alsne, which
the Germans ore defending with desper
ate energy. They evidently regard tha
maintenance of this bastion as vital to
the ultimate security of their troops, still
painfully withdrawing from the depths of
tho salient.
Fresh troops are being constantly
thrown Into battle In this sector against
the troops of General Mangln. The con
tinued advance of De Goutte's army
northward from Ardre, however. Indi
cates the possibility of she creation of a
new Allied pocket between ourcq and the

so closely besieged by Mangln. The sit

FOE'S DEFENSE FIERCE
Paris, July 30. The Allied forces con

points on the Sotssons-Rnelms salient
Monday. The principal progress, ac
cording lo tho War Office announcement
last night .was on the west flank and
nround Fere-on-Tnrdenols Numerous
villages fell Into the hands of the Al
lies. The statement says: ;-o
"The day was marked by very vio
lent engagements along the whole front
north of the Marne. The enemy, whose
resistance was powerfully Increased,
disputed ground with us foot by foot and
attempted to force us back by numer
ous counter-nttacks. Our troops re
pulsed all assaults and made new
progress.
"On the outskirts of the village of
Buzancy (fouthenst of Solssons) Scot
tish troops captured the park and cha

spite the repeated efforts of the Uer
mans. ,

One magazine has been aioahe to
this awakening of women
When Pictorial Review sent a woman
road to record for its readers the
changes that were being wrought in wo
man's life, they knew that this was the
biggest thing they could tell to the vig
orous, alert type of women who read
their magazine.
This 6tirring story of the call for
women in practically every profession,
and their instant amazing response, ap-
feared in Pictorial Review months ago.
t is only an instance of the kind of
articles that have made Pictorial Review
known among women as "the magazine
of women's wider interests."
Years ago Pictorial Review set out to
edit a magazino that would interest the s
type of women who were not being
reached by the conventional "women's
magazines." It was to support, to stimu
late, even to lead this type of women.
The welcome this magazine received
from American wpmen is itself a record
