TROOPS WINS PRAISE OF FRENCH “Their Strong Will and Irresistible Activity Dominate Adversaries They Oppose,” Says Official Statement. PARIS, Monday, June 10,—Praise is given the marines and other American troops who took part in the fighting last week northwest of Chateau Thierry, in an gh statement issued to-night giving a sum-! mary of the operations there. s declared that with “strong will and irresistible activity the helt Ys continue absolutely to dominate | the adversaries they oppose.” “The operations on the 6th of June In advancing our line,” the statement adds, “gave us a view of the enemy which permitted us to| exploit the siluation. Also in the evening the American troops, pushing forward toward Bussiares and Torey and continuing to clean up Belleau Wood from local opposition, advanced their line for more thai a mile. “Finally toward 6 o'clock in the evening some of our troops pene- trated into Bouresches. | “The American infantry showed itself very skilful in manoeuvring. The courage of the officers and men bordered on temerity. One lieute- nant, hindered in his advance by a machine gun, threw himself almost alone into the woods where it was established and, having killed its crew, returned with the gun over his shoulder. | "The courage of the combatant troops was equalled only by the magnificent coolness of certain of their ambulance men, who amidst a hail of bullets gave first aid to the wounded before carrying them to field dressing stations. “Operating in liaison with the Americans our troops the next day widened considerably the gains of the day before, while This photograph, fee Bureau, shows suppl the by the division on ty pe the of a i an United American States Marine Cor hters who we 2 DEAD N ACTION 700,000 AMERICANS \ 1918, AMERICAN MARINES MAS SED IN SOL ID SQUARE’ A oO yh eae ey et » 4 ear a ps second drive t! rmans, when the Amert Mayberry Ww Moore, Counetl | re ated with the French at the Marne in defense of Paris N E NCE, Jereston, Ie; Willlam JCouncil Bluffs, Tas Jarvis \¥ Herman Nels tes soo wrung —_———— ne nn REJECTED BY U.
