American Soldiers Use Trench Tools and Bare Hands Against Huns in First Engagement

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT THE FRONT, Nov. 7. Preparations were being made today to bury in France the first American soldiers to fight and die to make the world safe for democracy Three of them died, four others suffered wounds, and thirteen are somewhere behind the German lmes. Every American making ready for the battle line awarded to them the supreme commendation that In their fight they upheld the best traditions of the American army. They were out

numbered. The fact that they fought

against overwhelming odds and were

Irretrievably cut off from reinforcements did not deter them from strik

ing back with all their power. Americans Fight Back.

In the narrow trenches where there

was no room for rifle shots, the Amer

ican fought with their clubbed guns,

their bayonets, their trench knives, their Intrenching spades even with

their bands. Flares and the sudden glare of exploding shells showed occasional snapshots of struggling group s one or two American soldiers

surrounded by a solid mass of Ger

mans, a maelstrom of arms and hands and kicking feet, flashing bayonets, shouts, muffled yells and the sounds

of pain wrung from the wounded.

This was the story as survivors told

it. The Americans did not have a chance against overpowerlngly superior masses of the enemy. The fact that they did not have a chance, did

not prevent them from fighting until

they had literally been smothered by

the Germans.

The small American detachment

was in a front line trench. The usual desultory artillery fire suddenly rolled to an intense rumble. The enemy

put down a heavy barrage of sheila

completely around the single unit. Then a big party of GermansAmerican wounded estimate them at 210 in all suddenly swarmed over the top. The German raiding party was composed of picked and veteran "shock troops" specialists in attack. They charge in a powerful rush. The American troops had just entered this particular bit of trench. They fought like wildcats until literally smothered in the weights of the superior attacking forces. Then the Germans scurried back to their own lines, dragging their dead and wounded with them together with their American prisoners. Lieutenant Knocked Out. A young reserve lieutenant with the

detachment attacked was puzzled im

mediately after he brought his men in

to the trench by sudden acceleration of artillery fire. He decided to con

sult his superior officers ana stanea

carefully weaving his way back. He

struck the German barrage. It Knocked him flat but he recovered and a

second time tried to Dress along.

Again he was flung down by explod-J

lug shells and for the third time nej danntlesslv went on. Then he was j

completely "knocked out" by a narrow j

shave from a high explosive aneu.

After the German raiders had return

ed to their lines, the lieutenant was

found unconscious. He was revived later and told hia story. He was In the base hospital recovering from

shell shocks. "The shelling began darn suddenly," said one of the wounded American as today. "A few minutes later I turned around and saw a big German standing in the trench beside me. The. next thing I knew he shot me bang! The whole American army In France realizing that the first American army, casualties were those of an ordinary trench raid, nevertheless waa boiling with impatience to get revenge on the Boehes. The American dead will be burled

with military honors in a little Ameri

can cemetery near the camp.
