SAMMIES' CHEAT
HAULOF PRISONERS
Belleau Wood a Happy Hunting
Ground.
TAKE 250 MORE PRISONERS
German Commanders Told Thair
Troopa That Army Had Landed in
America U. S. Artillery Bril
! Ilantly Carrie Out Iti Part.
American Array in France. (W rman
prisoner captured by the Americans
en storming the Belleau wood taction
sow number 250, including seven olli
cers. One of the oi!l era ttuid the Ger
man commanders huve been telling
the soldiers that the Gorman have
landed an army in America, captured
New York, and are now marching to
wards Philadelphia. The Germans
duo are told that submarine!) have
sunk between 40 and 50 ships in Long
Itland Sound.
The Importance of the American ad
vance In Belleau wood Ih not indicated
ly the amount of territory captured,
s that only amounts approximately
to 600 square yards. The new posi
tions of the Americans, however, dom
inate the ridge beyond ho thut they
now hold the upper hand.
The Amerlacns made an Irresistible
msh for the complete clearing of the
wood, in which it was discovered the
Germans were still occupying a small
trip of thu underbrush. The attack
aa preceded by a 13-hour bombard
ment from the American artillery,
German prisoners pay tribute to the
brilliant dash of the Americans, de
claring the men in the assaulting party
fought like demons.
The Germans were virtually cleared
cut of the wood several days ago, but
the discovery was made that' under
cover of darkness they had planted
machine guns behind huge bowlders,
la sunken roadways, in shell hole and
t In trees in a narrow area on the wine
f the wood. It was most difficult to
. et at them in these positions, and
one fierce hand-to-hand fighting oc
curred during the night while the
clearing process was being carried out.
The Americans now are In possession
of virtually all the valuable tactical
positions in the lielleau wood sector.
Most of the prisoners taken belong
to the Three Hundred and Forty
event h German Division.
The American artiiluy again bril
liantly carried out its part in throwing
the entire German line Into confusion.
Prisoners said that the position from
"which they had been taken was like an
Inferno under the American fire. They
were happy to get out alive.
A captured German officer, arrogant
nd sarcastic, remarked: "We are Just
urting with the Americans. We are
going to wipe out whole division as it
they were companies."
The German private were less arro
gant, and apparently were glad they
were captured. One declared that the
Germans were surprised at the Ameri
cans, who appeared so young but
fought like devils when they got
started. Another declared:
"The war will soon be ended. There
are too many Americans comJng to
Europe."
This prisoner was a Prussian who
fought on the Russian front. He con
fessed that the Germans were prepar
ing to attsck the Americans in Belleau
wood when the American troops start
ed their attack. It was a surprise af
fair. The Americans came one way
and the German officers tried to force
their men forward the other way. This
prisoner was shot in the leg by his
own officer because he hesitated con
fusedly between the American guns
and bayonets and the pistols In hands
of German officers.
Raymond S. Howell, of BaiD'svIllc.
Ohio, who was in the first line of the
Advance, describing the operation,
esld:
"We took up a position in the open
wood; there were no trenches. Tim
Germans opened a heavy die and
shells fell around us like rain. We
charged over the rocky hill, our fel
lows laughing and yelling a war
whoop. We then came upon a wheat
field and crossed in the face of a
withering shell and machine-gun fire
nd drove back the Germans at the
jo'.nt of the bayonet.
Some idea, of the thoroughness with
which the Americans prepared for the
attack may be gleaned from the fact
that they fired approximately 5.000
t)l;h explosives In one hour. Tin1
American gunners worked so fast the
Germans said they did not have time
to think. The German lines were torn
up and the ground around strewn with
German dead and wounded. Two mem
bers of a German hospital corps were
captured.
