THE GLORIOUS THIRTIETH. r r Lieut. Thomas B. Marshall has g sent to The Columbia State two clip- p pings from London papers which i, testify eloquently to the valor of the ? Thirtieth Division. They are as fol- o lows: "It was not possible at the time e to speak more than cursorily of the c share of the Americans in our at-ja tack of September 20, when, on their d whole front of about 6,000 yards, e United States troops broke through o the defences of the Hindei^burg line a and canal tunnel, and on farther.

It was the Southerners who took the villages of Billicourt and Nauroy, where the New Yorkers, reckless of the intense enemy machine gun fire oa their left, swept on towards Guoy and Mont St. Martin. That some of the latter went . too fast and too far, you know. Nests of Germans, who skulked in the ramifications of the tunnel and in various lairs and burrows, were left undestroyed as the advance streamed on, and these were reenforced by other enemy, who trickled outhward through the barrage on the left.

"Australians were to follow up behand and they have spoken to me in terms only of superlative praise of the way the Americans behaved.
