YANKS HELD
"j LINE AGAINST
: GERMAN FIRE
e j WITH THE AMERICAN ARMV IN’
FRANCE, SJept. 20. (by mail.) -On a
certain night in July, just before the
s Germans had attempted their offensive
! on Epernay and Chalons, a certain
| American division was crawling along
lover one of the duty military roads
1 that stretch over the level plains hack
| of Rheims.
i The division was full of enthusiasm
' from the general In charge of the
movement down to the lowest buck
| private, it hail come from Lorraine,
j where it was well trained in lighting
, Roches, atul everyone figured the divi
j sion was going to make an attack.
| Prospects were good for driving the
j Germans out of some important posf
| tions at that time.
| So the division moved eastward by
north, and nobody minded the dust
or the weight or the packs. The gen
eral in charge of the movement be
lieved he was going to attack, until
a dispatch rider dashed up. The gen
eral read the dispatch and ordered
the entire division to stop.
Then lie called heads of units to
gether, and said, ' We’ll have to turn
right around here, and take (lie next
crossroads for the trenches. We want
to get into position before daylight.”
It was about midnight then, ami it’s
no small job to switch a division
around and rush it into tin- trenches
in a few hours. iiui m-xt morning
found every man just where he he
* longed.
Suddenly the Americans found them
„ solve.--, ready for a Gentian attack.
• Next day some Americans captured
| some Germans and learned that tile
i Hun olletisive was to begin next mid
I night. The Americans and tin- French
I artillery wore noiitic.l ami they kept
r ipiiet as could in until a iiuurlcr to
j twelve that night. Hv that time all
E tile Got aiaas that ■ I' ! ho t rowdoil
into a front line trench were there,
roady to ( onic ovor at the /ero hour.
Fifteen annul's before tin Gentian
party v, as in begin, the Americans
and tie1 i is ncli artillery cat loose
with everything, heavies and lights,
concentrated on those crammed and
crowded German trout line trenches.
The German artillery opened up on
tile front line trenches of the allies,
front which every man had been with
drawn. The result was that while
j the Germans were massacred the
' French and Americans lost hardly a
1 man.
The terrific artillery party contin
ued until daylight. Then the remain
ing Germans started over the top.
They were tired and worn, and little
prepared for a tight, after the bar
rage they had gone through. Reach
ing the allied llrst line trenches they
found no one, and, taking heart, came
on, carelessly.
In the second line trenches were
the American hoys with the French
chassures, ready with machine guns
and rifles. The German wave dropped
under the withering lire, and the of
ficers tried to revive its spirit. Then
] another wave came and suffered the I
same fate, it dropped too.
During the day waves came over
and waves stopped before reaching
i the American position. Omy once did
the Germans get near enough for hand
4) hand lighting. The Germans tried j
tanks, but the American artillery blew ,
them up as they topped the ridge;
of hills just in front of the trenches,
'it continued so for three days. One
morning the Germans sent seven
waves against the Americans one after !
another. None of them broke the iron I
resistance.
The Germans concentrated on the
American positions, and expected to
break through to t’halons.
The fourth day the Americans at
tacked and drove the Germans back
to their original trenches, capturing
prisoners and guns and tanks, some of
tin! latter being remodeled British
tanks the Germans had taken earlier
in the summer in Flanders. Having
done that, the Americans moved on
to make the attack that everyone ex
pected when the general got sudden
orders to about face.
