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.

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."

(Continued from page 2, column 2.)
German soldiers in China had engaged
in wanton and hrutal ravaging; m
that plunder, pillage, extortion, robbery,
as well as rape and sexual abus- (
es of the worst kind, had occurred <
on a very large scale and that Ger- <
man soldiers had participated in 1
them." He had not been given an
opportunity to prove his allegations, J
but had been sentenced to prison for 1
three months for assailing the honor 1
of the "whole German army." The <
outrageousness of this sentence was <
made clear by the revelations, made t
in the Reichstag shortly afterwards, '*
