With tha American Army in France Man Jay, April S.- -Tha American rail way anfinwra who helped stem tha ttda of tha onfuahing German* during tha opening day* of tha battle now in pragraaa fought shoulder to shoulder with Canadian anginaara in carrying out thair task. Thay hald thair ground atubbarnly and only ratirad to pre viously praparad position* when fore «d to do ao and inflicted casualties by tha thousand upon tha (iarmana aa thay advanced in cloee formation, in one place in ns many aa seven wavaa, each wave 10 men deep and 100 yarda apart. The Americans with tha Canadian* hail all the ammunition thay needed, and although they were unsupported by the artillery and arm ed only with rifle* and with a few ma chnie guns, they poured scythe-like stream* of bullet* into the enemy at several different time* until the wea• pons were so hot a* to be useless. Thin handful of American soldier*, who were not hurdened to *uch terri fic slaughter, was sickened by the shambles it created, but fought fur iously for several days helping to hold the enemy all the way from St. Quen tin to the vicinity of Noyon. These were the Americans mentioned at the tima in the olflciitl communique*, but these details of their exploits it has only now been possible to secure. Wh<-n -the German attack began tha] American* were working in the rear' lines with the Canadians, under Cana dian command. They quickly threw down their tool* and seized the wea-' pons with which they had been armed for some months and formed them selves into a fighting unit. The Ger mans came on and finally reachnd the positions where the Americans were waiting. The exact number of the prisoners cannot be given, but they are compar atively small. They had no inten-j tion of retreating however, and were bent upon killing all the Germans pos sible. j\s me nrsi (tray enemy advanced, the American forces let them come until they were within certain range; then opened fire, pouring in a storm of bullets. Gaps appearing in the ad vancing lines at many places, soma of them large, where the machine guns had chewed through. Still the Ger mans came on, without firing a sin gle shot—just advancing. The Americans were unable to un -e*non«e. The negroes of North Car olina are making scarcely less noble responses in the War-Savinps Cam pa rn. The flrst $100 War Savitigs Certiorate bought by a woman in Cha'hsm County was by a colored wrmnn, the rook of Mr*. Olive Wab ' liter, Postmistress at SiUr City. There are a number of negroes in the State i who have already become members 1 of the 1 imit Club by puirhasing *1000 of Sumps,—all that the law nilows. When their names are published It i will be a roll of honor for their race. RIGHTEOUS TRIUMPHANT FORCE TO THE UTMOST. Wtnw HU Pooplo Again That Triumph of Arms for Ger many MaanaRuin for *11 tho Ideals Amarica has woo and Lives for. Baltimore, M<1„ April A.— Preaident Wilson, at a great Liberty loan cele bration bar* tonight, gave America'a answer to the German drive on the western hattla front; to tha renewed propaganda for a German made peace to all proposals to end tha war before Germany Is awakened from her dream of world domiri'on. The President's anawer waa: "Force, force to the utmoat, force without a tint of limit, tha rtghteoua and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cart every selfish domirion down in the dust." Preaident Wilson'* acceptance of Germany* challenge that the isaue be tween the central powers and hor en emies lie settled by force brought persona cheering to their feet. At the conclusion of the ('resident's address subscription* were opened for Liberty bonds. The Savings Bank of Baltimore immediately took one million dollars worth. Other large amounts were subacribed. A few hours before the President spoke he had reviewed a diviaion of citizen soldiers, railed only a few months ago from the pursuits of peace now transformed into fighting men to carry the idecla of America to the battle fields of Europe: at the moment a million more of their kind were ail over the land celebrating the opening of tha third Liberty loan; while lbs mobilising the great army^ of a second million were going out to the country. What Germany Seeks. Those were some of the physical foots which backed hi* words, when after review'ng briefly the evidencei that Germany seeks a Germany-made l>eai'f for her dominion he declared: "I accept the challenge. I know that you acept it. All the world shall know you accept it. It shall appear in the utter sacrifice and self for get fulness with which we shall give all that we love and all that we have to redeem the world and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in. This now is the meantng of what we do. Let everything that we say. my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response till the ma jesty and might of our concerted pow er shall till the thought and utterly defeat the force of those who flout and misprize what we honor and hold dear. ucrmsny nan once more saiu mm force anil force alone shall decide whether justice and peace Khali reiijn in the affairs of men; whether right as America conceive* it or dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind. "There is therefore but one re sponse from ii*; force, force to the ut most, force without stint or limit, the righteous force which shall make ritfht the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion in the dust." (■ive« Warning Again. Warning anew that a triumph of arms for (ierman* means ruin for all the ideals of America has won and lives for, the President reiterated he was willing to discuss at any time a fair, just and horest peace sincerely proposed, "a peace in which the strong and weak shall fare alike." "But the answers." aid he, "when I propose such a peace, - ame from the German commanders in Russia and I rannot mistake the meaning of the itnswer. "They are enjoying in Russia," the President declared, "a cheap triumph in which no brr ve or gallant nation cm long take pride. A great people, helpless by their own art, lie* for the time at their mercy. Their fair pro (ualmi in ' forgotten.

On the western "elbow" of the sa lient in the allied line, the German, are forced to fight uphill.

At point, the German efforts have gained, but t>cse ^ains have resulted >nly in the formation of sharp salient, which are swept by rifle and machine -un fire and Umpe.sU of .hell, when ever enemy troop, are seen forming for an attack. There is a wholesome respect in the German general ttaff for the allied reserve army which, a. yet, appears to have been drawn upon lightly to meet the Teutonic attack. The attack on the French line, southwest of Chauny i, for the purpose of removing a men acing salient and the gaining of bet ter protection to the German left flank ThU autault is still going on and it has made considerable progress. The tierman. struck through the lower forest of Coucy and have reached a point, soutli of the village of Kolem bray. The Berlin official statement claims that 2,000 prisoner, have been taken. 1 ut an attack or large dimensions is planned for the front of Arras northward to Lens is considered pro bable by military experts. As long as this front is in iu present posi tion, the Germans cannot exert their full strength on the line before Amiens. The cannonade in this re gion may be the prelude of a massed attack such as bent the British line during the later days of March. Notwithstanding the statement made on Friday by Stephen Pichon the French foreign minister, that "Amer icans now are fighting in Picardy,"! nothing definite has been learned' about where General Perishing'* men ' are located, or what part they are' playing in this battle of battles. On the American held sector* near Verdun, east of Lunevilte and north pa l of Tout, only ordinary trench ac tivities have been reported. l.ittle has been heard from the Ita lian front. The concentration of Austrian troops in that theater of the war it considered warning that major activities may be looked for there, probably in the mountainous country, but there hn» Uen no indication that the Teutons plan to launch their at tack at aa early dale.
