TATXOR, United Press Staff Correspoadent. WITH THE AMERICAN AR1TT NEAR SOISSONS, July IP 2:53 a. m. Preparations for the resumption of the Franco-American drive between the Aisne and the ILarne are In full swing at this time. While some of the soldiers who had battled almost continuously for twenty-four hours were snatching hurried naps, others were busy consolidating the newly made gains, and making ready for the next blow, believed to be scheduled for daybreak. The Germans retreated so rapidly that the Americans and French were able to move forward at the rate of more than a kilometer an hour, reach ing their twelfth-hour objective in seven hours. Officers had great difficulty In hold ing back the victorious doughboys. In order to keep the line straight. The Americans wanted to go to Germany. Regimental commanders had to send couriers forward to call back some units, while one company got so far ahead that an airplane was used to carry the restraining message. Germane Are Panicky. The Germans everywhere along the line were panicky. They left their ar tillery, machine guns, rifles, and sup plies and sprinted eastward. The area captured by the Americans between the Aisne and the Ourq had more than ISO artillery pieces of various cali bers la it. "We were so busy chasing Germans we haven't had time to pay any atten tion to the stuff they left behind them," said one officer. Slightly wounded doughboys, happy, grinning, and dirty, lay about In groups after the advance was volun tarily halted, swapping experiences and displaying souvenirs. "We were Just rushed Into, the trenches last sight,' eald one young ster. "We were only there half aa hour when the captain said: Boys, In Just twenty minutes we go over the top. There Is time for every man to have a good smoke.' "Before we reached their trenches the Belnles were running. Boy, Bowdyt It sure gave me a glorious feeling to see the Belnles hop out like rabbits. We couldn't help laugh' lag at 'em." Getac FJtstertt HrtL" Another doughboy, wounded la the hand after he had chased the Ger mans seven kilometers (four and a quarter miles), carried his automatic nne in his good nana, ready to use it if he had the opportunity. Be en countered three pals, all of whom had been wounded more seriously than he. Be brought them back to the American lines, protecting them with his rifle. The cooks belonging- to some of the advancing units could not drag their field kitchens fast enough to keep up with their customers and furnish them with hot food. "How's things golngT asked one of the cooks of a returning dough boy, who had been wounded. "Got 'em going fastern hell," was the reply. "I got a bunch, but a shell scratched me, and the doe made me come back. Damn the luck!" Another group, slightly wounded. cursed the luck that put them out of the fight. "We'll be fixed up all right and ready to mix with 'em in a couple of weeks." said a corporal, "but the darned war will be over before then, by the way the boys are goln' after 'em. Now, 1 gotta get some more souvenirs for the folks back home." I asked a group of doughboys If the tanks helped them any. Tanks Too Domed Slow. "Say, the tanks are all right, but they've got to get some that'll run In high if they're gonna keep up with us," he said. "We got miles ahead of 'em this morning." The doughboys declare universally that they no longer have any respect for the Germans, except for their running ability. German units which opposed the Americans around Solssons were among the best of the Kaiser's troops. Prisoners say the attack took them unawares. Near Solssons the Ger mans contemplated minor attacks themselves, starting their barrage fif teen minutes before the allied drive started. The Americans charged right through the enemy barrage and drove the Germans from their guns. The pollus everywhere are delight ed with the bravery displayed by their comrades In urns. They are saluting the doughboys with "vive l'Amerl caine." and shaking their nands. "These Frenchmen are so tickled they want to hold our hands all the time," said one doughboy. American ambulance units operated speedily, following up the advance and rushing In the wounded, who are now happy In their bandages. Ameri can hospitals were quickly establish ed in chateaux, in woods, and in the captured villages. Konenkamp Despairs; Western Union Girl Can't Spell His Name B.

I GAVE 1 HELL, TRIUMPHANT NOTE ON SAMMIES UP SHORT CHANGE ARTIST SMILINGLY PLAYS GAME KANKAKEE. HL, July 19. A hand some young man with a winning smile dashed into a drygoods store here. Rushing up to the lady cashier hn asked change for a S100 bill. "I am from the store a few doors away. he said. The cashier handed him a $50 bill and began counting out some change In ones, twos and fives. During this performance the young man talked profusely. Slipping the $10 bill In his pocket he asked the girl for another $50 bill for the $50 In change. She banded It to him before he returned the change. Still dissertating glibly he suddenly said: "Oh. never mind the change, give me my $100 bill back." and tendered the second $50 bill and the $50 in change, keeping the first $50 bill In his pocket.
