I wonder if anything dreadful will
happen to us now?"

band was dead, lie was strickrti with

"To all, the general commanding
the army corps is happy to address
the most cordial expression of his rec-
ognition and his best wishes fur fu-
ture service but the past is proof of
the future."
The history of the Champagne bat-
tle which freed ltheims shows the
sensational part played by the Amer-
icans. While the French were held
up by strong German defensive posi-
tions, the American sccond division
attacked on a two mile front west of
Somme-I'y, broke through the enemy
positions and rapidly advanced a dis-
tance of five and one half miles, eap-
i luring the formidable heights of Ulanc
j Mont and Medeah farm. This rapid
j advance turned the German positions
J in the mountain region east of ltheims
j ad forced them to make a rapid re-
treat.
i The attack of the second division
j was preceded by the preliminary clear-
I ing up of the German first and second
! lilies which were protected by wires.
! This operation was accomplished in a
: few hours. A general attack was
■ launched on the morning of Oct. 2.
The Americans swept away all reste-
! tance and pushed ahead speedily.
They found that on the left flank the
German line known as the Kssen
trench was pouring in an enfilading
fire from machine guns. Although
this trench lay in the sector to the
left, the Americans sent over detach-
ments and soon conquered it-
So rapid was the advance of tho
second division that the Americans
had reached the German observatory
on Blanc Mont, before the German
command in the rear knew what had
happened. The observer on duty in
the tower saw a large number of
Americans approaching. Knowing

two miles each. The first was to
Blanc Mont and Medeah farm and the
