GRAPHIC STORY IN LETTER Tells of Our Troops' Herolo Resist ance In June Held by Many Off).. , eers to Have 8avd Paris- From Huns. ' Washington.. A graphic eyewitness account of tlio fighting near Chateau- : Thierry, In which American divisions, Including the mnrlno brigade, took: parti early In June, was innde public ' recently by the nuvy department. It lu In the form of a long letter from an ofllcur of the marines to. Major Gen. .-. oral Bnrnetr, commandant of the corps, and the story told 1b of peculiar i slgnllleaiicc, us lu tho opinion of muny ofllgers hpro it wiia tho. stand of the Americans along this lino which saved l'nris. : . .. . - The name of the writer Is not dis closed. Tho Araorlcuns we rushed to the line lu motortrucks to support the . linrd-prcssed French. On, June 1 the murine brigade deployed lu a support position, the. battalion commanded by MnJ. Thomas llolcomb hurrying Into , tho line ns the men climbed oat of the trucks, The Germans ware coming on, and June. 2 the French dropped back, passing through the American lines. "Wo nnd. installed ourselves In a house In La Voie ChatcL a little vll -. Inge between Chainplllon and Lucy-le-JJocago," tho letter Bays. "From one sldo we had observation of the north and northeast, They came out on a wonrtorfully; clear day In two columns across a wheat Held. We could see the two twin brown columns advancing In perfect order until two-thirds of the coltunng, wo Judged, were in sight Foe Slowed Up by Shrapnel. I "The ritlo and luuchiue gun Ura was Incessant ami, overhead, shrapnel was bursting.' Thon the shrapnel cume on the target, at eucn, slioU The wlilte patches would roll awuv, and we could Kpe that some of the columns were still there, slowed up, and It seemed perfect suicide for them to try, "Then, under that-deadly (Ire and a barrage of rltlo und machine-gun tire, the Uoclis stopped. It was too much for uy men. . "That men should Are deliberately, i end use their sights and adjust their range," lie-says, "was beyond their ex perience. It must have had a telling effect on the morale of the lioche, for It was something they had not counted on. As a matter of fact, after pushing back the weakened French nnd then running up against a stono wall of de fense, they were literally 'up In the nlr' und more than stopped. We found that out Inter from prisoners, for the Germans never knew we wero In the front line when they made Uint at tuck, . They weru absolutely mystllled ut the manner In which the defense KtifTcned up, until they found that our troops Wero in line." . The letter tells In detail of the days of fighting that followed. It describes u daylight charge against a nuichlne gun host and of Bcoutlng raids up to 3 one C, when the whole brigade swung forward to Btrnlghton out the line. This ncMon resulted In tho capture of Bel louu wood.- Hit Three Times, 8tlll Fought on. I Major Blblcy's battalion of the Sixth marine regiment led tho way here, with Ilolcomh in support. The woods were alive with enemy machine guns. That night word came buck thnt Kobcrtson, with 20-men of the Nlnaty-slxth com pany, had taken Euiiresche.i, breaking through a heavy machine gun barrage to enter the town. Robertson, fighting with an automatic In either bund, was lilt three times before he would allow himself, to bo tnken to the rear.

Private Dutilnvy, killed Hater, cap tured an enemy machine gun In llour esehes, which ho tunicd on the foe with grout, effect, -while ut another point "Young Tlmmurmun charged a machine gun nt the point of the bayb-. net and sent In 17 prisoners at a clip." .When-the enemy made a stand at one point In tho woods Sibley's bat talion was withdrawn and for an hour und fifty minutes American: und French butteries hammered the wood, Hughes, with the Tenth company, then went In, and his first message was that the wood had been cut to mince meat. Overton, leading tho Seventy' sixth company, dually charged tho rock plateau, killing or capturing every gunuer and capturing all the guns, with few casualties. The Highly-second company lost all Its officers, und Major Blblcy and bis adjutant, Lieutenant Dallamy, reorgan ized It tinder Are and charged a ma chine gun nest at the most critlcul tlino la all the fighting.
