may be raised and thus prevent
another issue of bonds this year,
therefore it is to be hoped that
all those who have not yet sub

in which the lists are open, that

nine wounded severely, twenty
seven wounded slightly, makes up
a total of forty three casualties
in the report of General Pershing
today to th3 war department.
The American report ?. this
fight inclines to the belief tha
the battle went contrary to t lie
enemy, that a great number of
Germans were left dead upon the
field while prisoners were taken,
the loss to the American not be
ing out of "proportion to the
severity of the engagement, the

in this fight, bearing out the con

report would h-ad t believe the
battle was a complete- success to
their arms; that bitter hand to
hand fighting ensued around the
dug-outs and the Americans were
killed almost to the last man.
In the Renneres wood the Amer

of troops were badly mauled by
