have been made prisoner by the Ger
mans. Private John B. Flock en of Olnev.
111., one of the first men te reach
Torcy, said today:
I never saw such wonderful
sDirit. Not one of our fellows hesi
tated in the face of the rain of ma
chine gun fire, which it seemed Im
possible to get through. Every Ger
mna seemed to have a machine gun.
They fought like wildcats, but the
Americans were too much for them."
The Importance of the operations
of the Americans on the Marne sec
tor may be realized when it Is re
called that only the day before tha
Americans entered the line the Ger
mans advanced ten kilometers. The
Americans are now holding the Paris
road near Le Thiolet for a number or
kilometers.
Graphic stories of last night's
fighting were related by wounded
Americans today. They said that tt
'one point the Germans crouched be
hind bouldeers and opened fire when
the Americans were within ten feet
of them-. One man who participated
in an encounter of this kind said;
Many Lark Sleep.
"Some of us had not slept for four
nights but we were not tired. Ws
took a second lease of life and sprang
at 'those Germans and smothered
them. 1 never saw so many machine
guns. Our men did not think of
themselves. They only thought ot
getting Fritz." -
A corporal captured three Ger
mans and was leading them away
when twelve others surrendered to
him and joined the procession.
Madison Girman of Evansville,
Ind.. was in Torcy. He said
"W were -not supposed to so
there, but the men were so enthusi
astic they kept on. They would go to
Berlin if their commanders would
let them. The only way to stop them
is to kill them. The Germans can
not maek prisoners of us. They tried
hard to get some of us, but we fooled
them. We turned the machine guns
on them and took them prisoner.'
Floyd Gibbons of the Chicago Tri
bune was watching the battle with a
major and another officer early last
night from a field. An enemy ma
chine gun fpotted them and Mr.
Gibbons was shot in the arm and in
the left eye. The Qf fleers escaped
but they had to wait three hours In
the darkness to crawl'away. As a re
suit of the wound. Mr. Gibbons' eye
was Removed this morning.
The Americans today were consol
idating their positions and compara
tive iqulet prevailed. -
MANY HEROES IN FIGHT.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
IN PICARDY. June 6. There were
man instances of Individual brav
ery and heroism in the successful
attack of the American marines -in
the Chateau ThierTy sector today.
Many of the Americans who were
wounded refused ot leave the fight.
Sergeant J. L. Puswerth of Kansas
City, was captured by the Germans
unnrfir niffM while dated br a blow
f mm rifle butt. While the
German was dragging him away
when he regained consciousness. The
sergeant hit the German on the jaw
and escaped.
"I was not going to be the first
American captured In this sector."
Sergeant Duswerth said. "The Dutch
man looked more scared than I so
I biffed him. Now I got to get back
and get me a Dutchman to make up
for the lump on my head.
The sergeant took part in the fight
ing today.
Prlnte Charles Ginsberg, a form
er New York newsboy, captured a
German in a shell hole, Ginsberg
searched the German for hidden
weapons and when he came on a
photograph at the prisoner's two
children the German wanted to fight
The German ws allowed to keep
the photographsr
An American corporal found him
self behind the German lines two
days ago. By keeping himself hld-
den and crawling a foot at a time, h
reached the American line during
the height of today's battle and in
time to take part in the victory.
THREE TOWN'S OBJECTIVES.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. June 7. (Evening.) The
sharpest fighting continues around
the sector of Veuilly-la-Poterie Bus
sierles and Bouresches. where the
Americans and French have been at
tacking shoulder to shoulder for
some days, making almost uninter
rupted progress. notwltbtandlng
strong enemy resistance.
, NEWS IS REASSCRIXfi.
. WASHINGTON. June 7. News
from the Aisne battle front continu
ed, reassuring today to military ob
servers here, it being increasingly ev
ident that the German thrust had
been brought to at least a temporary
halt. Whether the failure to res
his advantage vigorously means that
theTenemy is exhausted for the mo
ment and must have time to bring
up fresh troops, guns and stores be
fore renewing the drive, or that he
is planning blows at other points
alonf-, the front is not yet clear.
Aside from the strategic signifi
cance of the holt, the main topic of
discussion today was the brilliant
work the American marine detach
ments, now known to have shared in
the defense of the Marne line at
Chateau Thierry and to the north
west of that place. News of the full
seope of the counter-operations In
which several towns have been won
back by the Americans and their
French associates is awaited with
keen interest.
On the face of the map. it is
thought here the German situation
demands that he renew his etforts to
widen ont to the west. The enmeys
position looks precarious and no mat
ter, how determined the allied su
preme command may be to conserve
man' power, it Is regarded as certain
that any glaring German weakness
will be quickly seized upon for a
powerful counter-thrust.

June Report of Department of
Agriculture Gives Big Es
timate for Fall
WASHINGTON. June 7. A bump
er wheat crop this year, which before
harvest may develop Into a produc
tion of 1. 000, 000. OOQ, bushels, t was
forecast today by department ot ag

ing the first indication of , the" siz

Basing its estimate on June 1 'con
ditions the department forecast a
total wheat production of 931,00.
000 bushels, which would place this
year's, harvest as the second largest
in the history of the country.
In June of 1915. a total wheat pro
duction of 950.000,000 bushels was
forecast and the quantity gradually
crept. upward until the final figures
for the year showed the crop to be
1.025.800LOOO bushels. : '
The acreage sown to spring wheat
this year ta larger by- 2.000.000 acres
than ever sown before and 21.5 per
cent larger than last year.' aggregat
ing 22,489.000 acres. The- condition
of the crop on June 1 was 95.2 per
cent of normal, or 1.5 per cent better
than the ten-year average. A pro
duction of 344,000,000 bushels was
forecast. That is 11.000.000 bushels
more than harvested last year and
only about 7.000.000 less than the
record spring harvest or 1915.
Winter wheat growing on the sec
ond largest acreage ever planted,
showed a condition three per cent
better than the ten-year' average,
with 83.8 per cent of a normal. A
production of 587.000,000 bushels
was forecast, which is on 50.000,000
bushels more than forecast from con
ditions existing May 1. Such a crop
would be the third in size grown in
this country.
The oat crop also promises to be
of record proportions. On an acerage
3.1 per cent larger than last year
when the record crop 1,587.000.000
bushels was grown. June 1 condi
tions warrant a forecast of 1.500.
000,000 bushels. Only last year's
and the crop of 1915 exceeded that
quantity. ;, j
Rye production will be a record,
the forecast being 81.000,000 bushels
which is slightly less than was fore
cast In .May. Last year's crop was
601.000,000 bushels which was a
record.
