four waves in open formation. The
men in the flrt wave were for the
most part armed with rifles and
bomb, while the rear waves were
equipped with automatic rifles. With
them came squads of machine gun
ners IuIiik their collapsible guns.
They crossed the open space and toil
ed up the elopes bent over like
gnomes. The trenches the marines
j passed over were clearly visible from
below but they hardly deserved the

Therein l e the greatest danger
for the Kreuch ami Hrilish, If the
Germans succeed in breaking through
k ither on the Somme or on the Marne,
it will take luiotber Pottle of the
Maine to turn the tide.
I ult y to Aid Allies
The probability that the drive to
the Ma rite is merely preparatory to
j; greater offensive in, Picardy is still
a likely one. If this turns out to be
the German plan, it will prevent Gen
eral Kneh from sending reinforce

Veullly und continued to press for

German machine guns.
Capture 1270 Prisoners
During the attack this morning at
dawn, the German artillery fire
against the allies was feeble, but the
enemy front line was well stuaJed
with machine guns. In the action this
morning the Americans and French
advanced one kilometer into the Ger
man lines and captured 2 70 prison
ers, Including ten officers.
Kdrty-flve minutes after tho fight
ing Btarted uno French regiment had
attained the border of Mares wood
and the edge of a triangular wood
a()0 yards 'southeast of Hussafres,
notwitliKtandiug resistance. This
regiment alone took more than H'O
prisoners.
Tired of Fighting
A notablo development was the
low morale of tho prisoners, nil of
whom are Prussians. They express
ed themselves as tired of the war and.
glad to get out of tho fighting. This
was despite the fact, they say, that
they are furnished with food uttho
tho Saxons, the Wuerttemberg troops
and others map go without.
It must not ho imagined, however,
that they did not put up a fight this
morning Tor their ofticers were
among them urging them on, but the
marines dashed into litem yelling
like Indians and plying bayonet, ami
rifle. One marine, who was taking
hack a prisoner ran into two German
officers and ten' men. lie tackled
them single handed with his rifle and
bayonet, killed both the officers and
wounded seven of tho men.
Culled II i t Ka m era d
Another, sergeant was about to
tako a prisoner when the German
threw himself on the ground and dis
charged bis revolver at the American
after calling him "kamerad." That
settled the German, for tho sergeant
stjot him, as ho did four others who
also had surrendered but refused 'to
put up their llunds.
Tho marines advancing In tho Hol-
of especial Intensity for five minutes
preceding the time when the marines
went over the top. French and Am
erican batteries bo(h took part in the
firing, putting down a rolling bar
rage and then shifting to- the roads
behind the German line.
Forestalled Attack
It appeared that the marines In
going forstalled an attack the Ger
mans had puanned. It was to have
oeen carried out by the Prussians
name, for they were simply lines of wno had been Put into the line for
little holes, each big enough to hold
a man, while barbed wire was Jack

terlaced umong the trees of Helleau
wood, but the marines pushed their
way thru it.

Out In the open field artillery offi
cers with glasses were directing the
supporting fire, while on the roof
of a nearby farmhouse a signal jnnn
wigwagged with his red" and white
flags. On all sides the. guns were
flashing, some of them standing right
out In tho field, while' others were
hidden in the woods. Looking down
into the valley only a milo away the
village of ItussaJres could be seen on
fire. As the correspondent watched
the scene tho. clouds of ihlto shrap
nel smoke over the village of Torcy
also became brownish and flames ap
