AMERICANS DEFEAT GERMANS. Troops From Fresh Units Meet Hun Patrol in No Man's Land. With the American Army in France, Feb. 22.?In a patrol fight Americans, from units under instruction in the famous Chemin Des Dames sector killed one German and captured another. One American was slightly wounded. This is the first time it has been n permitted to reveal the fact that newAmerican units have entered the line. The troops have been there for some time, suffering slight casualties, but hoir nrpspnop was kent secret until it was certain the enemy knew they were there. Taken Single-Handed. Details of the patrol .fight are as yet unavailable, beyond the unofficial report that the prisoner taken was captured single-handed by a young American from one of. the New England States who during the engsvgement dropped into a shell hole o.i top of a German hiding there and later brought him in. The American forces entered the line on one of the darkest of nights through a shell-pitted region dotted , \ with shell wrecked towns. The French general commanding the sector, a hero of the Marne, greeted them as comrades in arms and kissed the American flag. Eager to Beat Record. Throughout the irregular period of service in the lind these troops have displayed great eagerness to establish a record equal to or better than that of troops holding the sector northwest of Toul. ' The orders for them to leave their billets came suddenly a few weeks ago. The troops entrained and rode to the rail head nearest the position C into which they were going.' They knew whither they were bound and welcomed the opportunity to start the work of fighting the Germans. The units ak they detrained were received by the French general commanding the sector who kissed the ; flag reverently and then addressed v\' the men, saying lhat he held them in the same refeard as his own soldiers and that they were brothers-in-arms, fighting for the same great cause. He warned them to be cautious id deal: ing with the enemy over the distant hills. T. The French soldiers, he said, were skillful in hunting these "wild beasts" and were glad of the opportunity to pass along what they knew to their American comrades. -r ak a_ xjoiig iwarai. The troops made a long march to the line, singing at interval^ to help the feet move faster and lighten the load they were carrying. They passed through mile after mile of? shell scarred desolate ground and through debris which once were villages, hut now without a single house left standing. The scene of destruction on such a large scale impressed the Americans deeply and many of them expressed the hope that they would soon be able to help punish the perpetrators. , ' To Music of Guns. The troops marched in and took up their positions without a hitch to ; v the music of the roaring guns, both friendly and hostile, their flashes frequently stabbing the blackness of the night, first here and then there as far as the eye could see. v On this occasion as on previous occasions when American troops > reached the front they were warmly welcomed by their French comrades. An American general with these, troops had not been in the field two hours when the enemy dropped a number of six-inch shells close to him. Th? troops in this section are virtuallv all huskv specimens and there are many six-footers among them. They come from a cold climate and "quickly adapted" themselves to the field conditions at this season. i . ^ i?> ^ vi* Weeping to Order. Danny and Bobbie had been left in . care of their big sister while their mother went out. At bedtime they wanted to "stay up for mother," but their sister relentlessly put them to bed. Danny maintained a stolid indifference, but Bobbie cried lustily. Their sister listened at the foot of the stairs, homing they would soon be quiet. At last Bobbie stopped, and the listener heard him say: "You cry a bit, Danny; I'm tired." -? 1'lt-BltS. , GERMAN WAR PRIOHCES. (Continued from page 2, column 2.)
