Britons Encouraged
ByuSplendidQualitu"
1 Of American Troops
London, June 5. The disclosure
in the French official statements
that American troops have been en
gaged in hard fighting in two sec
tors of the present great battle line
and have again demonstrated their
splendid quality, as they did at Can
tigny recently, is most welcome to
the British public.
The Americans, it is noted, are
in the field in sectors where the
fighting is most intense, namely,
between the Marne and Ourcq
rivers, where the Germans do not
yet appear to have yielded belief
in their ability still further to de
velop their thrust for Paris.
The part played by American
machine gunners in the defense of
the Chateau Thierry bridges is
worthy to stand with the achieve
ments of the American infantry re
cently at Cantigny.
river at that point was a mile wide
last night and heavy damage has been
caused to growing crops. Tracks of
the Chicago & Northwestern," Chi
cago, Rock Island Pacific and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul are
under water and officials say it will
be several days before trains can get
through. v -
Farming districts around Benton
and in the northern portions of Powe
shiek and Iowa counties have also
suffered heavy damage. Several hun
dred head of cattle are reported
drowned in the fields.
On the Rock Island through service
between Omaha and Chicago is dis
continued until further notice. Stub
trains are being run between Omaha
and Des Moines and between Omaha
and Grinnell. East of these two
points there are numerous washouts,
but their extent is unknown.
On the Northwestern the washouts
are east of Marshalltown. No. 19,
due at 1 a. m. Wednesday arrived
late in the afternoon. Nos. 1, 9
and II, and the fast mail are some
where between Tama City and the
Mississippi river, but up to noon had
not been located.
No. 11 on the Milwaukee, due at
8:30 a. m. yesterday, at noon was
standing on the track at Tama City,
la., waiting for repairs to be made
on grades and bridges west of there.
The Great Western was held up at
Eagle Grove, where a bridge had been
washed out.
The Illinois Central has train serv
ice between Omaha and Fort Dodge,
but -east of the latter point the en
tire country is under water.
Light in Nebraska.
During Tuesday night scattered
rains were reported in Nebraska. One
of the showers that visited the south
western part of the state took on the
character of a cloudburst and washed
out a section of the Burlington grade
between Nebraska City and Lincoln.
On the Northwestern's Bonesteel
line there was a small washout in
the vicinity of Plainview, but service
was restored early yesterday.
