A PAGE OF AMERICAN WAR
COURAGE OF THE MARINES
AND OTHER U. S. TROOPS
WINS PRAISE OF FRENCH
"Their Strong Will and Irresistible Activity
Dominate Adversaries They Oppose,"
Says Official Statement.
PARIS, Monday, June 10. Praise is given the marines and other
American troops who took part in the lighting last week northwest of i
Chateau Thierry, in an official statement issued to-night giving a sum-!
mary of the operations there. It is declared that with "strong will and
Irresistible activity the American troops
the adversaries they oppose."
"The operations on the 6th of
statement adds, "gave us a view of
exploit the situation. Also in the evening the American troops, pushing
forward toward Uussiarcs and Torcy and continuing to clean up Uelleau
Wood from local opposition, advanced their line for more than a mile. '
"Finally toward 6 o'clock in the evening some of our troops pene
trated into Bouresches.
"The American infantry showed itself very skilful in manoeuvring.
The courage of the officers and men bordered on temerity. One lieute
nant, hindered in his advance by a machine gun, threw himself almost
alone into the woods where it was established and, having killed its crew,
returned with the gun over his shoulder.
'The courage of the combatant troops was equalled only by the;
magnificent coolness of certain of their ambulance men, who amidst a'
hail of bullets gave first aid to the wounded bifore carrying them to field
dressing stations. I
"Operating in liaison with the Americans our troops, the next da) 1
widened considerably the gains of the day before, while the division on'
the right progressed northward. Doth thus effected a very skilful
' manoeuvre. During the morning our troops captured Veuilly-la-Poterie 1
Cemetery and, finally, by a single dash they carried the heights southwest '
of Hautevesnes. Our troops met with stubborn resistance, which they,
broke down completely. I
"The Germans suffered irreparable losses. One of the companies ,
opposed to us. which counted too bayonets at the beginning, yesterday - . N y , , ,

It was over possession of this

Tho Americans advanced beyond
the woods, occupying n hill on the

of Civilization, He Says.
WASHINGTON, June 1 1. Secretary Maker addressed the French
"Mine Devils" yesterday at the foot of the Washington Monument on
their official farewell to the United States. He said in part
"When you left France the American Army was there is small 'rep
resentation, but now more than 7(),ooo AmeiicaiiN have ; ailed from
their shores to carpy hack to your army and your people the encourage
ment and (he assistance which l.aiayette and Kochambeau 'hroiight t
America in the early and M niggling days of American Ireedi-m.
"They and'you are about to accomplish the great wonder in the world
of winning a victory which will forever set the stamp of mankind's
approval upon the true theory of civilization."
(For "liumu consumption" the GeruiaiiB, In their effort to N-llltle
American participation In the war, have repeatedly published, In ioml
official organs, that lens than 2UO.O0U "untrained" American troop
had reached France.)

of their participation In the war'ltKl '

from a special correspondent ef thjjij '

est and greatest scheme of comraunr-
cation ever used in warfare..
"After a fortnight of solid tnrel;'0
he continues, "I am convinced that,
what the Americana have accom'

Work Is proceeding rapidly Off V
new 20,000 bed hospital, thn largest

also an Immense artillery camp and

"These port schemes nre being t
well worked out that they nre ca
pable of almost unlimited expansion.
Tho American base ports may easily
become the main reserve centres for
distributing supplies tn rait heads
everywhere on the front. The con,dy(

In an accompanying editorial the,

'The Herman knows his doom la
