Outmatched by Wilson’s Willing
ness to Brigade American Troops.
American troops brigaded with
Foch’s French reserves, “stonewall
ed" the crown prince s drive on Pa
ris, and, as a sort of “side show"
hurled a venturesome German bat
talion back across the Marne.
This was, for America—and for
the world, for that matter—the big
gest piece of news that came from
the blood-drenched fields of com
bat along and north of the Marne
on the ninth day of the “battle of
Paris." *
From drives on wide fronts the
German offensive has deteriorated
into isolated attacks along the area
between Soissons and Chateau Thier
ry and eastward to the Mann in
the general direction of Rheims.
Although in these attacks the en
emy still is using Itfrge effectiveness
and great numbers of guns, be is be
ing held aim Obi everywhere from
farther progress and on vartoae sec

troops.

“Farther south the Germans were
not ship to make any gains. On the

which had crept across to the left
bank of the river above Jaulgonne
was counter attacksd by French and
American troops and hurled back to
the other bank, after having suffer

which the enemy used was destroyed
and 100 prisoners remained in our
hands.
A French army dispatch says:
American machine gunners only an
hour or so iifter their arrival on the
banks of the River Marne on the
31st of May took a most active part
in the defense af Chateau Thierry
which then was menaced with immi
nent capture by the Germans.
Scarcely had the Americans alight
ed from their motor lorries when
they were ordered into Chateau Thi

lonial troops. The Americans im
mediately organized and excellent
shooting caused the approaching en

they left for New Tork.
Twenty-eight survivors of the New
York and Porto Rico liner. Carolina,
which was sunk by a German sub
marine Sunday evening, were recov
ering at Atlantic City Tuesday night
after forty hours in the battered
boat from which they landed.
The women were suffering from
exhaustion and all had suffered from
hunger and thirst, as they had onry
a little water and a few biscuits dur
ing the time they were at sea. None
was in a serious condition, however.
Women and girls among the sur
vivors were unable to stand. Some of
them were attired in rough blue ov
eralls and Jumpers, borrowed from
the crew. The hair streaked across
their faces was plastered down by
the mixture of salt and water used
on their foreheads in an effort to
revive them when they fainted.
One woman 4bout thirty years
old fainted as a Ufa guard lifted her
tenderly from the yawl. Chief Sur
geon Bossert brought her a stimu
lant. At that moment the notes of
“The Sar Spangled Banner" floated
into tbe tent and the woman, half
rising on her cot. Cried hysterically.
“We're safe. safe, at last!** Then
she sank again Into unconsciousness.
