The-67th artillery brigade, national guard artillerymen from Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota, had finished shooting at targets around Coetquidan an had caught up. ; :.;, '- ',-. ' - . . Luneville was the V'quiet sector" the War department was telline the neonle about back home. Actnallv there, had been no fighting there since reached Kambervillers, and destroyed the villages. ,,' Rainbow Men Changed All That. " . A rolling wooded country was this part of -Lorraine altogether toa. beautiful to be the scene, of battle. .And by a sort of tacit agreement both , Germans and Frenclr had been sparing the villages. Neither' side used gas and in the daytime a shot was seldom heard. With the arrival of the Rainbow division things changed. N ' k They went into v the trenches quietly enough. The First division, when it, had entered the litre pre viously in a nearby sector, nad aroused the suspicions of the Ger mans and had brought down on their own heads a deadly burst of fire and a raid"in which they had lost prisoners. Profiting by the First's experience the Rainbow sneaked into position. and took up its vigil ovec Net Man's land in the night without the knowledge of the Germans and without ;losing a shir gle man. - - But a new foe wasS, facing the boche inx Lorrairie' a youthful, eager foe, confident of his. .untried strength and impetuous to use it. And he knew there were 100.000- 000 people back home wofidering ta-rh?whe would use it and hdw he was getting along, iso the uermans were not long without knowledge of the change in their enemy's or der of battle. - :, Stopped Hun's Laundry. It was many weeks later that there went abroad the, story about the Germans who came out of their trench to wash some clothes in a shell hole in No Man's land, in full 'sight of the Americans. It was a true story, and it happened during the Rainbow division's first few days in the trenches. The Germans had washed clothes Ki that shell hole before and nothing had happened. They had known that nothing would happen. On their side the French had peacefully smoked their pipes, in the cool of ihe evening on the very top of he trenches. It was simply , one of the' workings out of the tacit agree ment, j i i . But a little outpost Alabamians got one glimpse Of this group of boches in , undershirts arrogantly dipping dirty clothes in" -the water of No Man's land and they opened fire. The Germans scattered like rabbits, some ' of them . hugging wounds. .' A French officer came rushing to the outpost in a fury of excite-. ment. What did the Americans mean? They,had done a terrible thing. Now, the Germans would be angry and everybody was in for "a period of shelling and gas and raids. He rebuked the hot-headed Yanks men later. "I came out here to kill these boches, riot to sit and watch them wash clothes." Officer Was Right.' " But there was justice in thfci French officer's rebuke. The Rain, bow division was the pupil of the French arrjiy. Going into the line it had l been divided into small units and brigaded with four French di visions of the beventh rrench corps. . The 165tbr from New York plus two companies of the 150th machine gun-vbattalipn from i Wisconsin were with the 164th French infantry division, with their front line in the Foret de Parroy. The 166th infan try from Ohio plus the other two companies of the 150th machine gun DattcHion, were in the St. Clem ent sector with the ,14th French di vision. The 168th infantry, from Iowa; 167th from Alabama! and the 151st machine sun battalion .from Georgia, were in the Baccarat sec tor wiYh theJ28th French -division. The rest of the Rainbow units were distributed along the front of the Seventh French corps where they could be of most use and get the most experience. " v Germans Give Battle. The irate French officer had been right, too,' in his estimate of the result of the Alabamian s rashness, rThe tacit agreement for a kid- elove war in Lorraine went some what to pieces from that moment The Germans knew now-that flew American troops were just across the'wy. They didn t have, to de nend unon instinct to prove it. They could see'our men in uniforms just as our men could see the Ger mans, so close together were tne trenches in some places. It was At 4 o'clock 'on the mornings of March 5 the boche came over, and tne men of the Rainbow had their first battle.

The lj8th infantry wfas holdirfg it. It was right at the junc tion of two valleys, an ideal plaee to sneak up on, but a death trap if properly defended. - What it took to defend it proper ly the Iowans were all broken out with. Within one minute after the first alarm they opened up, down the valley with- their rifles, the MarylanderS cut loose with trench mortars, and the Georgians turned on the machine guns. It was their first chance to fire and they were as vivacious about it as a debutante at a coming-out ball. The field ar tillery, French and American, join ed in. Dumbfounded and maddened at the resistance, the Germans tried to rush the trenches, but they got not even 4o the first line. Dawn breaking slowly through the mist and smoke, showed three bodies in field-gray hanging grotesquely over the torn wire. v One officer and 18 men of the Rainbow division were killed in this,, the first battle, and 22were wound ed. But it was a victory; the raid had been repulsed. No Man's, land was strewn with German, dead. Won French Honors. The spirit of the division took a great leap. It had discovered Jor itlelf one of the biggest truths the war produced that the American doughboy could . lick the boche. Their French comrades were like wise enthused and reassured. The Rainbow's first batch -of Croix de Guerre were awarded for bravery in this brush. , - Four - days later, March 9, the Kainbow participated in a raiding party ot its own, assisted by the frtnch. for four hours American light and heavy artillery, trench ar tillery and machcine guns beat upon the German first and second lines, and at 5:10 p. m., French and Amer ican soldiers went over the op to gether, destroyed the German shel ters, capturad a tew prisoners and returned with light losses.

Earned Rest; Got None- By this time .the Rainbow's first turn in' the trenches had gone along for almost a month. It had earned a rest; it vtii ordered to take one! It has been suggested since that the Rainbow division's" story ought to oe "Kests we never uot From that time on it never had a rest as other divisions came to know the term. Rest after rest was ordered foi it, but the war always canceled the orders. Once between Ainuittf. 20 and AitrH in' into intensive training around Bout- mont, south oj Neufchateau, but it diditt rest And here coming out of the Lune ville sector on March 20 and oeing concentrated by March 23 near Ger bervillers, about 15 miles behind the line, prepared to match leisurelv back to Rolampont, it got orders to stop. The great Gefinan offsensive on March 21 had begun. For two days every German gun from the North Sea to the Swiss border had fired steadily on towns,-roads, batteries, posts ot command. Ihen came the news ofthe "German break-through oeiore Amiens. Thev Rainbow division turned around and marched back to the front, and from that moment its history is the history of the war, First to Hold Sector. To begin with it figured in the complete change of the Allies' mili tary oolicy. The menace of Amiens had produced Marshal Foch as su preme allied commander. General Pershing had made his historic offer To 'Marshal tFoch-!-the use joi the whole American army to handle as he wished. All previous plans were dropped, and in order to release the 128th French division to eo to the Somme, the Rainbow was ordered to take over the Baccarat sector. Thus came to the Rainbow division the honor of ''being the first American division to occupy a divisional sector all its own, under its own command er. Command of the Baccarat sector passed to Major-General Menoher on March 31. Ail tnrougn April there were raids and patrols, but nothing un usual, happened. The Germanswere not trying to. bceak through here; their effort was Concentrated much further to the north and west? and the Rainbow division, with a-month of trench vigil already to its credit, (was content to take what rest it could..

Into this stronghold on May 2 French and Americans artillery poured a destructive fire, which con tinued until dusk of the next day. At that time the Third battalion of the 166th, iifaritry, an Ohio regi ment, penetrated the entire salient under command of Major Hender son with virtually no losses. A "go and come raid," they called it. The raiders found the forest of oaks completely destroyed. Its trenches were filled, all works were entirely torn down sfnd the forest itself turned into almost a bare field. . Got Relief In Raid.
