AMERICANS HIM SAYS WASHINGTON

Continued From P»9« One.

and have suffered great losses in holding their ground against the desperate assaults of the liune.

With definite knowledge that one American division of approximately .10,000 men, the Second division of regulars and marines, is in the thick of the fighting: forced by the Germans in the resumption of their drive today, there is general belief at the war department that as the attack progresses practically the full first American army corps of 250.000 men will join the French in resisting the Germans.

Artillery Units In It.

The Ninth and Twenty-third regiments of regular artillery and the Twelfth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth regiments of regular field artillery have been identified by General March as the regiments which captured Vaux on July 1.

These troops bore the brunt of the first attack of the new German drive which was launched against the Americans at "Vaux today. They are part of the Second division, commanded by Maj.-Gen. Omar Bundy. The Seventeenth trained at Sparta, Wis., and was recruited largely from the middle west..

To the east of Vaux are other units of the Second division, including the marines.

Between Chateau Yhlerry Dormans other American regiments, as yet unidentified by the war department, fought with the French to hold the Germans at the Marne. Orve report said that American machine gunners and infantrymen "fought and died where they stood" in an effort to prevent the first German crossing of the Marne.

Rainbow Division in Fight. Up to a late hour General Pershing had made no report showing definitely what American divisions were engaged in the fighting. It could only be conjectured that the entire Second division was In the fight and that parts of the other five divisions, comprising the First army Corps, including the Rainbow division, were engaged.

It was tentatively decided that If General Pershing identified the American regiments and divisions in the fighting this information would be made public. "The American people are not weaklings," one official said. "They can stand bad news. We realize that they want the facts ahd we believe they should receive all the news it is possible to give them."

Long Range Guns Used.

Tn opening the March offensive the Germans made their greatest gains by surprise gas attacks. This time the hag been supplemented by long range bombardments of areas miles hack of the line by heavy naval cannon.

It is assumed that the American and allied forces were ready to meet this form of attack, uecause the most recent additions to the American and allied artillery have been naval guns of similar size and range. It is hardly considered likely that the German big gun barrage came as a surprise as the allies were preparing for the same form of attack.

The locale of the new German drive brought complete surprise to general staff officers, who have been following the war moves daily on the war maps.

Gen. March Has expressed the view repeatedly that the channel ports formed the main objective of the Germans with Paris as only aaecondary objective.

There are some officials who believe that the new German drive is a feint designed to bring withdrawals of allied troops from western sectors of the front and pave the way for resumption of the earlier drive toward the channel ports.

The preliminary attack of the Germans against Vaux was shown to be a feint, when attacks later in the day with redoubled fury against the sectors between Chateau Thierry and -Rheims and east of Rheims to the Champagne developed.

This led to the belief that after the preliminary phases of the drive hav'e passed an attack in the Picardy and Lys sectors may be expected, unless the Germans are convinced that the British have strengthened their line to a point that would make a new drive for the channel too costly.

cupying its new site, as it would then be better prepared to take care of government work and also of its own students. He said the present accommodations were ^"ery limited and that, owing to the number of technical schools being opened, it was necessary for such a school to maintain a high plane of efficiency. At the new site more efficient work could be done all around. He also said that at present the price on some needed materials would be almost prohibitive and also that the government was discouraging building. £r. Mees said that for the above reasons he deemed it impossible to build on the new site now, and to give up the old site woul# mean closing of the school

Each board assured the other of its hearty cooperation and good wishes, and the school board assured the Rose board that there was no desire to close i the school, and the Rose board assured the city board of its anxiety to vacate the present site and get to its new quarters as soon as possible.

Mr. Harkness said they were turning away boys at the vocational school every day on account of the lack of room. He said that the cancellation of the contract between the two boards would give the Poly board a chance to sell its property j*t a better price and that the release from this obligation i would increase the borrowing capacity _,of the school board.

Two new sites for* the vocational school were suggested. One by W. L. Sparks being the erection of a new building on one corner of the North Thirteenth street site, and the other by James S. Royse being a building controlled by the

Chamber

of Commerce

and located In the south part of the city. Bad Season for Bonds.

Mr. Green leaf brought op the question of disposing of the bonds if the two boards should trade back. There is a law which says that all school city bonds must be 4 per cent, and Mr. Royse said it was his opinion that these bonds would be difficult to sell, and that even 5 per cent bonds would be difficult.

Previous to the joint meeting plans for a.temporary school building for the colored children of the northeast part of the city were submitted by Architect Johnson, of Johnson & Miller. No site has as yet been selected for the building. The tentative plans call for a one-story frame building, with a brick or concrete foundation, which will have two classrooms and a large central hall, each room being capable of seating 40 pupils. Including a basement and the Installation of a heating plant, such a building would cost about I $7,000. Trustees Greenleaf, Schmidt and Gerstmeyer were appointed as a committee to go over the plans in detail.

The enemy surrounded It on three stues and hopes apparently jo take it as a result of great gains east and west of the city.
