It was about 9 o'clock when a young naval officer and a young woman strolled up. He seemed a mere boy, with his beguiling smile and frank manner, while she was older by some years, I should judge, but beautiful They sat down and she began pulling off her gloves.

After the battalion had succeeded in crossing the river, said the an nouncement, it found shelter under an efnbankment.

American machine guns went into action at this juncture and quickly silenced the German machine guns They then laid down such a tremendous) machine barrage that the French in fantry was enabled to force the ene my battalion to take to boats. The American machine guna and French riflemen riddied the boats, only two of which escaped. The Ger. mang in the other boats were either mot or drowned. U. S.
