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.
Sjienkiutfof Individual acts of lirnv

Jiuuy commander, "before he wai mow

Private Dutilnvy, killed Hater, cap

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.
