AMERICANS DELIVER FRENCH.
t
With the American Forces in
France, Oct. 20.— (Correspondence of
The Associated Press)—It was three
American privates who gave the
French civilians of the German occu
pied village of Thiaucourt the great
est thrill of their lives. For four
years they had been waiting and then
the Americans came.
When the three privates—an ad
vanced guard of swarms of other
Americans in their .wake—swung in
to the war-tom village of Thiaucourt
not a soul was in the streets. But
within a few minutes news spread
among the seven hundred civilians
that the Americans were there and
men and women and children came in
droves from cellars where they had
been hiding in terror for two days
and nights. And from other cellars
and dugouts there came six hundred
German soldiers who were delighted
witn me iaea oi giving uy.
The offensive of the first Ameri
can army, which wiped out the St.
Mihiel salient, began on a Thursday
morning and it was Saturday after
noon when the weary Americans
reached Thiaucourt, hungry and fa
tigued from fast walking in their
eagerness to keep pace with the
fleeing Germans.
As the Americans poured into the
village and the French realized more
and more that again Thiaucourt had
come into her own, men stood in the
street and cried openly and women
sat about on doorsteps and bits of
wreckage caused by shells and wept
until near exhaustion. And in the
confusion the children cheered but
even some of them, the older ones
realizing what it all meant, cried too
and kissed the hands of the officers
, and men.
; What food they had on hand the
French turned over to the Americans,
the villagers insisting upon the
I Americans taking all they wanted
of what they had. So in the streets
and in the houses; some of them
occupied only a few hours previously
■ by German officers and men, the
Americans made themselves at home,
for a short breathing spell, and the
French population of the village en
deavored to satisfy the appetites of
i
j -
From the time the Germans reach
' ed Thiacourt in September, 1914, un
til a few days after the village had
, been retaken by American troops the
civilians were entirely without fresh
meat of any kind excepting now and
then a chicken or a rabbit which
were raised in cellars without the
knowledge of the Germans. All the
! cattle in the region ofTriaucourt were
taken by the Germans, but the cows
’ being left to furnish milk for babies.
1 Until the United States entered
the war food was sent to Thiaucourt
by way of the Netherlands by the
American relief committee and later
by a Spanish relief committee. This
consisted principally of bacon, flour,
sugar, beans, peas and some cocoa.
Two boxes of condensed milk were re
ceived in Thiaucourt each month and
now and then a shipment of salt meat.
Twice several boxes of American
shoes arrived for the inhabitants and
at long intervals there were small
shipments of clothing.
During the four years occupation
by the Germans none of the civilians
was allowed to leave the town. How
ever, on one or two occasions individ
uals were permitted to visit a near
by village to attend the funeral of
relatives, accompanied by a soldier
j guard.
GERMANS DO NOT
- RESPECT RED CROSS.
With American Army in France,
Oct. 15.—Misuse of the Red Cross
emblem by the German army is
bringing bitter comment from Amer
ican officers in position to know
what is being done. A lieutenant in
the medical corps and an infantry
officer assert that “all the stories
told about German army’s devilish
and inhuman tactics are true.”

Flag, American troops were led into
many an ambuscade by Boche trick
ery in the display of this insignia.
And what has incensed the Ameri
cans the most is the fact that the
Germans refused to recognize the
Red Cross emblem at any time.
“Before going to the front I was
inclined to doubt some of the stories
being circulated about the Germans,”
said the medical officer, “but after
one month in the front lines I can be
lieve anything that is said against
them. They are so guilty of inhu
man and barbarous acts themselves
that they refuse to respect the use
of the Red Cross by the Allies. Their
use of the Red Cross insignia is one
of the biggest crimes they ought to
be made to answer for after the war.”
One of the tricks used by the
Boche was to plant a Red Cross flag
in the tower of a church of a village
in the path of the advancing Ameri
cans. Respecting it, the infantry
would not call for any concentration
of artillery fire on these buildings.
The American troops upon taking
one particular village advanced upon
a church, from which was displayed
a Red Cross flag, without suspecting
any trick. When they were within
short range, a murderous machine
gun fire was poured into their ranks
from the windows and towers of the
church. When the Americans finally
gained the interior, they found six
machine guns, manned by a platoon
of sturdy Boches—not a sign of any
hospital or dressing station.' Need
less to say no prisoners were taken.
The more you help the men at the
lront the quicker the end will come.
