WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, June 26 (As- sociated Press).—In an attack upon the German lines on the Marne front last night the American troops extended their line northwest of Belleau Wood. Up to 10 o'clock this morning 216 Prisoners had been counted, together with a number of machine guns and other booty. Additional prisoners are coming in. The attack was preceded by a thirteen-hour bombardment from th> American artillery. German prisoners taken pay tribute to the brilliant dash of the Americans, declaring the men in the assaulting party fought | like demons. The Germans were virtually cleared out of Belleau Wood several days ago, but the discovery was made yesterday that under cover of darkness they had planted machine guns behind huge boulders, in sunken roadways, in shell holes and in trees in a narrow area on the edge of the wood, HARD HAND-TO-HAND FIGHTING. It was most difficult to get at them in these positions, and some hard hand-to-hand fighting occurred during the night while the clearing process was being carried out. The Americans are now in possession of virtually all the valuable tactical positions in the entire Belleau Wood sector. Most of the prisoners taken belong to the 347th German Division, On Sunday the Germans placed the crack 201st Division opposite a por- tion of the American line, Despite this the Americans went through in steam roller fashion, The Germans also had atiempted on Saturday to fill the wood with gas, but the determination and heroism of the Ameri- cans could not be checked by this circumstance. The American artillery again brilliantly carried out its part in throw. ing the entire German line into confusion, Prisoners said that the posix tion from which they had been taken was like an inferno under the Amer- They were happy to get oul alive. pec teil ed ei FIVE OFFICERS AND 78 MEN ican fire, tary Baker and Gen.
