"Entirely new in this warfare, the Americans worked like the best veterans in the battle of the Somnie," says a wounded French captain who has been brought back from the front, according to La Liberte. Two of the Americans, officers who were wounded, were brought back with the French captain, a member of the Dragoons.

Each American wore a French war cross conferred on the battlefield. The French captain refused to receive attention until the Americans alongside him had first been nursed. "They are the ones who should be congratulated," he said, calling upon the women of the Red Cross to look after the Americans.

with almost unexampled fury against the allied front near the point where the French and British lines connect, the Germans yesterday and last night drove in a deep wedge to the west and forced the French out of Mont Didier. This town, which lies 19 miles southeast of Amiens, one of the German objectives, is 0 miles west of Roye, which the Germans took on Tuesday. (This represents a total advance of about 36 miles due west of La Fere). The threat against Amiens in the north seems to be well held by the British along their front north of the Somrae, where they have maintained their line firmly at all points and even, as indicated by official report, have advanced it in places. In the Noyon and Lassigny regions and along the Oise to the east, the French are likewise preventing the Germans from getting an opening.

The force of their drive was thus diverted to the west of the Roye region and the forward push there developed probably the fiercest fighting of the present battle. Paris characterizes the engagement matis list nigh: threw forward im-as of ''unheard of ferocity." The fores' in the region of Moiii French regiments, however, fought announced (. nay.

France Pined with a patient sigh toward America arid mutely asked "when?" Ametica, "her spiritual child." France felt must give something more than tier sympathy and affection. America must give something more even than "the most illustrious unit of the French army, the Lafayette esca-drille."

His promotion was won at Vimy ridge, where the red uniform of the French olbeers were an excellent target for the Germans md all the officers of his company were ea'dv killed or wounded.

Lieutenant Perigord carried last night tne sword his stricken captain had given lm on the battlefield and with the charge to lead the men on into battie. There was humor in the talk.

He has many. Yet the was missing from his message to the New Jersey coast. He wears on his breast a cross of honor. Five gold stars are on its ribbons. Each star means bravery that merited art additional cross.

He has won six crosses in the service of France. But never once did he boast of any personal deeds of valor. The mate of the cross of honor is a ribbon bar of the tricolors of France, with a red star in its center. "Wounded in action" is its message. For six months, Perigord was paralyzed and durinci all those weeks never knew whether he would ever be able to walk.

For three weeks he was blind. "Buried by a shell" is the way he expresses it. Lieut. Perigord sees but one honor to gain for France. Death! He wants to be back now in the trneches but the department of war will not release him until he tours the New England states.

"I shall go about May 1. I wish I was there now. I long to be wrth my men in this glorious spring work," was his farewell message to Asbury Park today before his train pulled out. FOR SERVICE MEN Army and Navy Club Will Be Established By A. P.

The ease of Bos- ario Palmeri, under a similar charge, wits immediately bepuii.

On one occasion, they said, Mrs. Affronti was upstairs when they vis- ited the Affronti resilience, and were' upon by a child later identified as Louise, who called to hoi mother, asking what she s'neiuid do. "They'ie all right, give them what, they want." Mrs. Affronti directed, according to the detectives. At an- other time Mrs.
