KAISER AT BIG
PATRIOTIC MEET
Kenyon of Iowa Principal
Speaker at Liberty Loan
Celebration; Confident v
Allies Will Win.
Blow after blow was dealt the
kaiser and kaiserism Sunday after
noon by Senator W. S. Kenyon of
Iowa at a great patriotic meeting held
in the municipal Auditorium.
The audiences was large. Patriotic
music and songs, voiced with fervor,
thrilled all. The sentiments expressed
repeatedly met with cheers.
41ST BAND PLAYS.
Rev. G. A. Hurlbert delivered the
invocation followed by a short ad
dress by Chairman Gurley, who urged
greater co-operation and support
from the American people.
The Forty-first regiment band
played the "Star-Spangled Banner.'
while the audience stood and sang,
There was a vocal solo by Forest
Fainter, accompanied by Miss Ade
laide Wood. ChairmaiwGurley then
. introduced benatoi Kenyon amid
wild applause, who, in part said:
f PLENTY OF LAMP POSTS.
- "I have been speaking in behalf
ot the Liberty loan smc my return
from th; war front. There may be
-uu,iaju u:rman reserv.sts in th
united itates at present, but don t
forget c have 500,001 lamp posts
here, ,too. Twelve, million men have
already perished in the war with
5,000,000 taken prisoners. There are
now more than 40,000,000 men under
arms. In no other war in the his
rory oi tne worm nave tnere ever
been more than 20,000,000 men under
arms. More than 800,000 shells were
fired by the British at the boches in
four days while I was in Errope. The
war debt at present is more than
$90,000,000,000.
"The allies have withstood the on
ilaught at Marne, Verdun and all
other strategic points, defeatinz the
Huns and they will nevrr give up un
til they drive the kaiser and his dam
nable forces back to Berlin and place
the Stars and Stripes on the flagpole
mere.
v Will Back up th Boys.
"When the Hun starts firing on the
old Mars and btripes the old spirit of
76 will return and the people of thi9
tountry will stand firmly back of our
boy? in the trenches to win this war.
"The United States, chambers of
commerce are discussing plans to
boycott all German made goods after
the war and I for one hope never to
see daylight again if I ever buy one
article made by the hands or machi
nery of the contemptible Huns, who
fcave committed the many outrages
upon men and who have cut off the
fcreasts of womerMor souvenirs. Let
(them take their goods and go to
Ben.
Here the senator quoted the words,
''Our Country in her intercourse with
ether nations may she always be
rigor, our our country right or

ready counted are 34 dead and 10
wounded, who were in the Ameri
can trenches, and 30 dead in No Man's
land.
Several of the wounded enemy were
taken back by their comrades to the
German positions,
A concentration artillery fire on the
American position in the St. Mihiel
sector began Saturday morning. It
was resumed with increased vigor
just before midnight and continued
intermittently until nearly daybreak.
The Germans laid down a barrage
and leaped over the parapets and
reached the American front line
trenches closely behind the barrage.
Attack With Bayonet
At this moment the American in
fantry burst from their shelters, at
tacking the enemy with grenades and
bayonet.
The struggle continued back and
forth for some time, but over most
of the front involved the American
troops were completely victorious, as
was evident from the heavy toll of
enemy dead and wounded.
At another point a large enemy
force surrounded 25 Americans in
front of their trenches. The Ameri
cans "suddenly attacked and killed
several of the Germans and returned
to their trenches uninjured and bring
ing .prisoners.
The enemy's casualties in the four
days' fighting are estimated at be
tween 300 and 400. Of this number
more than 100 were killed.
Although the enemy wasted fully
a half of his specially trained shock
troop battalion of 800 men he was un
able to penetrate the American lines
which remained unchanged.
Thirty-six Prisoners Captured.
Of the 36 prisoners taken by Ameri
can troops in the fighting on Friday
northwest of Toul, during which two.
German attacks in force were repulsed
with heavy casualties to the enemy,
12 have since died of -their wounds.
The American troops also captured
two German machine guns, besides a
quantity of small arms, grenades and
other war material.
The prisoners taken belonged to
the 25th and 65th Landwehr units, the
16th Pioneers and the Uhlans. The
prisoners said they had had no food
for two days, as the American ar
tillery had prevented their rations
from being brought up to their po
sition. The enemy front lines had been de
stroyed by shell fire, and during Fri
day's attack the Americans tem
porarily abandoned their own front
line, alipwed the Germans to enter it
and then forced them to engage in
hand to hand fighting in the open,
in which the American troops greatly
excelled.
This attack, which was the longest
and largest scale operation conducted
against the American troops since
the entry of the United States into
the war, has developed many deeds
of individual bravery and heroism.
A young lieutenant, whose home is
just outside of Boston, with three en
listed men, attacked 19 Germans who
had penetrated into cne of the Ameri
can trenches.
The lieutenant called on the Ger
mans to surrender. One of them
raised his pistol as if to shoot, but
the lieutenant shot him through the
head, whereupon the others lifted
their hands high and yelled, "Kama
radl" The lieutenant marched the
prisoners into the rear of our line and
then returned to the front and re
sumed the command of his platoon.
I-ive other Americans penetrated
into a German dugout where 12 of
the enemy were slightly wounded.
They resisted surrender, but our men
threw grenades into the dugout, kill
ing four of the Germans. The others
quickly gave themselves up. ;
Scores of officers and men whq had
been assigned to rear line duty
pleaded for an opportunity to go to
the front line. The artillery men also
did courageous work and furnished
wonderful support for the American
infantry.
Two Airplanes Shot Down.
Two German fiehtinpr planes were
shot down this morning inside the
American lines bv Lieutenants A. S.
VVinslow of Chicago and Douglas
Campbell of California. Each man
downed one machine. ,
Both the enemy aviators were made
prisoners. Une ot tnein was wounded.
Ihe machines, which fdrmed part
of a patrol of five aircraft, were
brought down after a six-minute en
gagement. One of the enemy ma
chines fell in flames, but the other
was only slightly damaged. It is be
lieved that Lieutenant Campbell is
the first graduate of a strictly Ameri
can school to bring down an enemy
machine.
The French general commanding
the zone in which the machines were
shot down congratulated the Ameri
cans on their "beautiful exploit." Both
lieutenants were awarded the war
cross. 1

the excellent offensive qualities and
the splendid resistance of the Ameri

"With such men the cause of the
