This is his first article from the great battle. —Editor.) BY C. C. LYON WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS FACING THE GERMANS I YORTHERN FRANCE (Controle Ameri- cain), May 16.—The American style of fighting has come back again over here. The great German offensive has forced all sides to return to open warfare, where the man) with a rifle on his shoulder becomes a real factor again, and, where the cavalry must again be reckoned with. The American troops, as they waited the word to go into action, alongside their French and British allies, put in their time practicing field maneuvers that haven't been seen in these parts since the war began and all armies dug them- selves into trenches. STRIPPED TO WAIST Whereas many a German division fought during the first days of the battle with every man loaded down with is entire pack on his back, the Americans literally stripped the waist for the fray. Hundreds of tons of personal baggage were left behind ‘One blanket, a raincoat, a canteen of water, emergency ra- tion, gun and ammunition—that is practically all the Amer-| ican soldier carried with him, except for a smal! trench tool, to be used in case of necessity. “Use your rifles and pa careful aim,” I heard a col- onel @nStructing his men. “Forget about the hand grenade in) this open warfare, because one good rifle and a belt of am- munition is worth more than all the grenades you can carry. . “Don’t be like the Germans I heard about the other day, who began throwing their rifles at the French when their} grenades gave out.” | RIFLE SHOOTING LOST ART? Rifle shooting had become a lost art in the European war zones up tothe time of the German offensive. But now, behind the allies’ lines rifle practice goes on every hour of| ARREST BANDIT SUSPECT AFTER THE GREAT. SEATTLE, WASH., THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1915. T REJ THE CALL! On the body of a dead Australian soldier was found this message, which he had entitled: “The War’s Recompense”: Ye that have faith to look with fearless eyes Beyond the tragedy of a world at strife, And know that out of death and night shall rise The dawn of ampler life, Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the heart, That God has given you a priceless dower, To live in these great times and have your part In Freedom’s crowning hour, That ye may tell your sons who see the light High in the Heavens--their heritage to take-- “I saw the powers of Darkness put to flight, I saw the Morning break.” “Whatever anguish rends the heart, rejoice,” he wrote. He heard the call. DO YOU? IT IS THE CALL FOR SERVICE. It is the call of the Red Cross now. It is offering you the opportunity to serve. You cannot fail the greatest humanitarian movement in the world. The Red Cross is calling to every one in Seattle. It is calling for $500,000 in King and Kitsap counties. It is calling for one day’s pay Monday, May 27th. You hear the call?
