AMERICAN ENGINEERS REPEAT GALLANT WORK OF CAMBRAI Join a Force Hastily Assembled in the Great Crisis South of Somme—3,000 German Dead in One Small Battle. BRITISH HBADQUARTERS IN| FRANCE, Sunday, March 31 (Assocl- ated Press).—It is now possible to tell of a spectacular feature of a brilliant British defense last week below the Somme. It isthe story of a little army | composed largely of assortments of troops who were hastily assembled in & great crisis, and who successfully held a vital ot against furious German onslaughts until reinforcements could arrive, In this gallant force were Included American railway engineers, who, as in the battle of Cambrai last Novem- ver, threw aside their tools and took up arms in defense of the Allied colors. It was last Tuesday afternoon at a critical moment when it was abso- lutely necessary that more troop should be thrown Into the: Britis) line to hold the onrush of Germans Reinforcements were on the way, bu. | could not arrive in time, There was | no time to lose and a certain gen eral immediately organized a force collected from the various units near- by, in which were the Agpericans, Fifteen hundred followed tho lead stretch the front jregion, but they f of thelr dashing brigadier out into the awirling battle line, where they were strung over a front of 1,200 yards against which hordes of Ger- mana were belng flung. It seems al most incon able that these de- fenders, brave unto death though they were, could have been able to hold that long sector, The enemy advanced in force and hurled themselves time and time again against the British line in this nd no weak spot This composite force stood as gal- lantly and as well as thelr comrades to the right and to the left. They clung on for many hours until the regulars camo up. ‘This is a sample of the fighting spirit which the Al- lied soldiers are showing In this time of stress.
