Cough of American Saves Germans WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 21. (By The Associated Press). Only the fact that the Germans failed to venture into no m.-u's land on a recent night saved them from an American surprise. One hundred and sixty men of the first bn'talions to enter the trenches for a vepk were given special training and, after being transported to the front, crcwled across no-man's land and took positions in front of and in the German wire entanglements at a point where it had been discovered the enerr y came out every night. ' Each man had been trained in a rpocial task and the entire unit had n hearsed the part it intended to play under conditions similar to that in front of the German lines. The Americans reached the position soon r;ter dark and remained in waiting r.'I night, but not one German appeared either there or as far as is kne'n, r.t any place in no-man's land. J The plan was. to allow several n')ups of ten to fifteen Germans to rpie rge and . meet r at a rendezvous. Then the Americans would fall upon ;h? enemy and repay them fully for recent trench raids. I "A cold which a soldier caught in the trenches brought him a wound in the hand and gave warning to a Gefwan patrol of an ambuscade on aiolher night. An American patrol had

Lowering a Big British The big British airplane was being

evidently bent on mischief, hove in sight. After being lowered into the water the plan chased away the enemy and tuen circled about to make sure that no hostile aircraft or submarines were near. That task finished, it settled into the water alongside the ship and was raised to the deck by pulleys, the same apparatus by which it was lowered into the water. -

Soldier From Ambuscade arranged an ambuscade near a shellruined farm house in No-Man's land. Several of the Americans had colds and coughs but managed to control them. Finally, when the shadowy forms of an enemy patrol were seen approaching, one of the Americans coughed. The enemy patrol promptly disappeared toward i'.s own lines from which there soon afterward came a hail of machine gun bullets, one hitting the man who had coughed. Two staff officers recently had a narrow escape while walking along a road in the rear of the lines. They heard the whizz of an enemy shell and jumped, thinking it was close by, when the projectile came down in the center of the road on either side of which they were walking. ; The first American regimental colors to be carried on the battle front in France have been returned to regimental headquarters. Written on it-in ink over the signature of the French commander is a certification that this was the first flag to reach the front lines. The flag did not, fly at the front as no flags are exhibited there. It actually was carried, however, to a dugout in the rear of tho second line, remaining there several days.

Fallacy of German Arguments is Shown Says Berlin Paper AMSTERDAM, Nov. 21 Theodore Wolff, in the Berliner Tageblatt, con eludes a" long article on France's re liance on America by saying: 'Inasmuch as France probably will be unable to tap ' fresh resources, Clemenceau too must pin his faith on America's aid. If hope on America did not exist then not only would there have been long since outbreaks of moraP crisis in all the entente countries, but an unmistakeable readiness in the direction of peace would prevail. "It is now shown how erroneous were the German arguments that America's entry into the war was im material and would not prolong the war." ' - "' RUSH PENNIES EAST WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.

Anglo-American Parley Held in Building Pere Break With the Thirteen Colonies Was Forced

LONDON, Nov. 1. The AngloAmerican war conferences yesterday In Downing street is featured by the morning newspapers and is commented upon as an event of the highest importance. Much is said of the picturesque historical side of the meeting which occurred in the same room where the errors were made that drove the American colonies to separate from the motherland, but the practical aspects are given equal emphasis. While Premier Lloyd-George's statement on the needs of the allies receive attention, the point alsc is made that it is necessary for the allies to remember that the United States is not in the war solely or mainly for their benefit. Thus, the Post says: "Americans know as well as we that they are in the war to protect themselves from a danger which seriously menaced them. They are business men over here strictly on business."

' FINED $25 ON ASSAULT CHARGE Noah Street, residing in the north end of the city was fined $25 and costs in police court Wednesday morning on a charge of assault and battery on Mrs. James Porter. Street's horse, while at large, entei ed the lawn of the Porter home and Mrs. Porter had the animal placed in a barn. This, It is alleged, enraged Street and when he called at the Porter home he struck Mrs. Porter, It was charged. Street denied striking Mrs. Porter. He said he threw her down and sat upon her until another person removed the horse from the barn. The assault occurred November 14. Street was arrested in Greensfork, Tuesday night. press. "She is fighting the Germany of Kaiser Wilhelm for exactly the same reason that she fought the England of Lord North. Her individual and national freedom Is at stake." The Daily News, on the other hand, dwells on the advent of the United States as a "bulwark of confidence" for the allies, and says it has changed the character of the war and placed the issue beyond doubt. Following out this view it says that "if in the closing phases of the war she is the commanding figure, we shall have no envy and no regrets, and contends that this is so chiefly because Ameri--ca's entry is a spiritual fact looking to the eventual establishment of a new sort of peace a peace founded upon the commonwealth of the world." Hope is expressed that Americans will not become sentimental or allow themselves to be influenced by humanitarian considerations in wages war as "war is most cruel when most prolonged and the only policy is that of firmness. Hitherto on our side there has been too much parrying and too little striking." 14 9 4 i it. .a ifg'fTiy.
