American troops co-operating w ith the French west of Chateau Thierry, north of the Marne,, the near est and most critical point to Paris reached by the enemy, have brilliantly checked the onrushing Germans, beat en off repeated attacks and inflicted severe losses, adding to the glory of the American history. Rush Into Battle The troops began to arrive on the battle front on Saturday and partici pated in the fighting almost immedi ately. They not only repulsed the Germans at every point at which they were engaged, but took prisoners, without having any prisoners in turn taken by the Germans. The Americans entered the battle en thusiastically, earer to fight, after a long march. On their way to the bat tle line, they were cheered by the crowds in the villages through which they passed. Their victorious stand, w ith their gallant French allies so soon after entering the line has electrified all France. The work of the American machine gunners was particularly noteworthy. There was at least one instance where an entire attacking party was wiped out. Meet Foe Face to Faca Owing to the fierceness of the bat tle, it has been difficult to verify de tails, but there were instances of the stiffest of hand-to-hand fighting. In this, the Americans acquitted them selves in a manner which won the greatest praise from their French comrades. The most determined at tack against the. Americans occurred last night. Preceded by a heavy bom bardment, the Germans came in waves. They penetrated the American trench es, but were quickly ejected, leaving many dead. Two earlier attacks Monday and three SuViday had the same result. Quick Action Scores : Scarcely had the Americans alighted j from their moter lorries when they wen ordered into Chateau Thierry j w ith a battalion of French colonial troops. The Americans immediately organized their defenses and by rapid action and excellent shooting caused the approaching enemy to hesitate. In order to mask their movements the Germans used smoke grenades, rendering shooting difficult for the de fenders, and at the same time opened a severe bombardment on the town. The enemy started across the bridge but when many had reached the center of the structure a terrific explosion I neiund them heralded the destruction of the central arch. Dozens of the Germ- were hurled into the water, while the few that reached the south side were captured. Protect French Troops The Americans who held the south end of the bridge and banks of the river, covered the. whole operation and protected the French troops while Tossing before the explosion. The French officers fighting with them de clare that the Americans displayed wonderful qualities of coolness and courage in the most difficult situation and in the course '-e trying struggle in the streets, while afterward they, with their machine guns, prevented all attempts of the enemy to repair the bridge.

There was little or no confusion. All the time the subma rine lay as close as possible, her crew standing on her deck watching us. After the lifeboats had swung away from the Carolina, the German officer ordered one to return. This frightened many in other lifeboats, but after a time we found out the reason for the action. In going through the steamer he found a fireman who had been left behind and he had ordered the lifeboat to return for him.
