It was a baptism of fire-for the Yan- kee soldiers on this front, and they came through with flying colors, prov- ing fitting’ comrades for the Austra- Han warriérs whom they ‘were assist- ing. “Phe Americans fought like fiends,” declared one British staff officer. They did all of that. They were magnificent, and the folks at home may be proud ofthe part their boys took in the shell-torn valley of the winding Somme. They were fighting over ground al- rendy stained with the ‘blood of thou- sands of brave soldiers, but no better troops ever charged across the rolling fields than the pioneers from the American army. Along with this it is possible to make the cheerful state- ment that their casualties were very small. Virtually the entire body of Americans’ came through unscathed. This was probably due to the weak re- sistance which the Germans offered to the Anglo-American onslaught. One does not need ‘to detract from the work of the Australians by telling of the prowess of the Americans. The’ soldiers from the antipodes far out- nutnbered those from the United States and did a corresponding amount of the sanguinary labor. “Tt goes without saying that the big- framed men ‘from Australia, who fear neither man nor devi!, fought with the flerceness which has made them a ter- ror to the enemy. The American troops who were to take part were brigaded with their. Australian allies, who took ‘the deep- est interest in the welding of the link of brotherhood. The plans were care- fully rehearsed until every American knew his ‘role almost as well as the hardy veterans from his .majesty’s army. Few along the front knew, of the event, but the British staff officers were watching: every move with the keenest attention. Those ‘officers to- day were. outspokenly. delighted with what .they had ‘seen, Enjoined to “Kill,” and They Did. For a week the British experts had been Winning into ‘the ears of the Americans the words, “Kill! Kill! Kill!” as ‘the’ cardinal’ slogan of: the fighting man. ,The Americans had learned their lJesson‘well. ‘The British officers :spoke of this after the .affair was over. No drftilmaster ever got better ‘returns for his talks than the one who taught these Americans this hardest lesson of all. A ‘large ‘number of Germans paid the price, andthe men from the United States exacted a ‘heavy toll. The-Americans were naturally happy over the success of ‘the operation in which they had played a creditable part, and the Australians were no less pleased with’ their new-found pals. The general in cemmand of. the American troops was also pleased with the work :his.men:bad done. “Our troops understood thoroughly when.they went over the top that they were ‘expected todo no less than any of their allies,” said the general to the correspondent. “Keports which I have received -from the Australians indicate, that our boys conducted themselves. with great-credit and did all that could have been wished.” The correspondent visited casualty clearing stations to see some of the wounded: Yankees through the fight. 4Boy Corporal's Btosy.

He said he was twenty years cli, but he was nothing more than a Itkable boy with a winning, but somewhat wistful, smile. The correspondent’ introduced himself and told the little soldier how proud everybody was of the Ameri- cans. The boy's lips trembled, but’his eyes ‘brightened. 4 “are you from America, too?’ he cried, as he eagerly ‘put out a hand. “Oh, I'm so glad of that.” He was homesick and hurt and want- ed comfort from‘somebody from home. A’‘friendly cha* began and the sol- der clung desperately to the corre- spondent’s hand. Suddenly his eyes fastened on the correspondent’s Brit- ish ‘uniform and a look of disappoint- ment came to his face. “You're not # Yankee, are you?” he asked, and his eyes were moist. The correspondent assured him to the con- trary. Instantly he brightened, and ent’s shoulder exclaimed : ‘Pm mighty glad of that. you are.a Yankee, too.” Then he told the story of his part.in the. batile and here is the way it ran: “We all were very anxious to do well.and je were ready to fight to.a finish.

I guess I must have learned some things, for my commander gave.me 24 \of our chaps to lead.over the top as corporal, And my men fought well.” He paused, his face glowing with pride, and then cotitinued: Colonel Grove, as chief of the sub: sistence division of the U.'S.
