The rivers are about the same in depth and width, differing only iu color. And again there U a striking tdmilarity in the aiae of tbe two towns. Chateau Thierry is 50 miles distunt from j>aris a ml the military road connecting the two places in of such a fair order t&irt an automobile may beat the local train* and give the fast through^traiu a push. The section of the towu in Which the depot in located was untouch ed by the shells of eitlher Allies or ene? any and hard by, across a broad plaza, is the typical French hotel which is do ing a rush business for the visitors who are uow beginning to go that way. It w*s at tills hotel that The Observer and party were "refreshed" while waiting the arrival of the automobiles that were to five them a turn over the battlefields, and it was here that our curiosity about the famous light wines the French are known to indulge iu at rnealw was tested out. A half bottle, or enough to fill a tumbler, in provided for one franc and 35 cen times. It is of a very pale pink iu color uud tastes like diluted vinegar. It is needed to t'he proper disposition of the cueal that goes with it, Which consists of two. thin slices of tomato and a "string of something that wan a cross between bacon and kippered herring. TMb was followed by an excellently prepared fresh tish. after which the gue*4t? were served u turn of the inevitable roast beef and cauliflower. Then after an Unfathom able dessert, enough fruit Wfls passed out to make u show for the charge of six francs. Very much of the deJbris that was pdl fd up in the streets of the town has been rwnovedt but the people are living amidst confused hurnutiuliuK*.

The Americana had been given or tier a to hold this bridge at any cost and a per*iuul Infection of] lhe sceue will serve U> *bow how they were able to accomplish the task. From their aide of the liver they were distrib uted among the buildings w1io.se windows! comma ithnl the bridge from directly in front and from the north and Month sides.. From hundred* of those windows Amor lean machine guus spouted a withering! lire on the massed German troops aud precipated the first Gentian rejreat of the war. It was perhaps the most effec tive ambuscade on record, the routing of tlic Germans and the turniug of their backs permanently on Paris haviitg been accomplished with a loss of only 17 dead Ainerk-nnti, The machine gun fire of tho United States troops was point blank from three angles, and at an average rauge of *75 yards. It was here, in this restricted territory, that a handful of American soldiers gave Germany the lick ing that broke her hack-bone, aud that evoked from Major Pupont, on that ex citing night in The Observer office when *tho news was coming in on the wire that 'Hhe- Germans are gioing back home." For miles around Chateau Thierry the positions of the American troops have been marked in permunent manner, so that the ^position of each regiment is eas ily located, and of the 68 Americans now here awaiting orders to come borne, are con>? <*? engineers aud draftsmen m'ak ing maps for the use of the United" States Government. Within the immediate bat tle area aj-e half a dozen towns that Were pounded into ruins by artillery Are from both Allied aud German guus, and in ehch town are squads of German prison ers engaged in cleaning up the ruins. They are required to cord up every bit of debris, while out over the battlefields other squads of Germans are at work salvaging war material. All along the roads shell are tftactaefcl like so many eord* of wood ami over each stack is posted ? wanting notice to the public to hnvr a tare.
